I've been rewatching The Dragon Prince from the beginning, and one thing I've really been paying attention to is Viren's choices and mistakes and how they lead to his eventual downfall.

A big one is the "secret missions" he gives to his children when he sends them out to find the princes: Soren is told to "take care of" the princes, and Claudia is tasked with recovering the egg at all costs.

This is a huge mistake.

On the surface level, it makes sense. The jobs given fit the skillsets of the children he gives them to: to the warrior, he gives the role that might require physical violence, while he sends the mage to get the magical object.

But it fails to take into account who Soren and Claudia really are.

Between the two siblings, Soren is the one with the moral compass. It doesn't always point true north, but it's pretty solid where it counts. Killing innocent children-- killing his friends-- is something he can't do. His conscience won't let him.

Claudia, on the other hand, prioritizes her family above everything else. Choosing the egg over Soren-- picking magic over blood-- isn't a choice she could ever make and live with herself afterwards.

These missions were always doomed to fail.

If Viren had switched the assignments, they would likely have suceeded. If he'd told Claudia that the princes actually coming home would put their family's future at risk, the boys never would have survived. If he'd warned Soren of a powerful weapon that couldn't be allowed to fall into enemy hands, the soldier in Soren would have done whatever he could to bring it back, no matter what he had to give up along the way.

Viren's mistake was that he fundamentally misunderstood his children's true natures.

He knew what they were, but not who they were. And that's why he failed.

I feel like in some ways this is the Great Tragedy of Claudia and Soren’s dynamic / reunion in season four and of Claudia and the mage fam generally. During their reunion, Soren is operating under two truths he has no reason to think or believe are falsehoods: the first is that, while TTM revealed he felt uneasy about never finding his father’s body, Soren still truly believes that Viren is good and dead. He never had the same amount of paranoia or drive that Rayla did regarding the mage’s death. The second, perhaps more tragic aspect, is his fundamental misunderstanding of Claudia and who she is becoming, in a lot of ways. That Claudia is right, to a degree, when she says Soren doesn’t understand.

He thinks Claudia is still doing all of this under the guise of Viren’s wishes or a final plan, but Claudia in actuality is well past that. She dragged herself through hell by her own volition to bring Viren back from the dead because she believed she could ‘fix’ it, and more than that, because couldn’t let go. And then when Viren is finally resurrected, he’s reluctant to go along with the scheme, tries to pivot, and even when he agrees under Claudia’s vehemence, he’s downright passive in everything until the very end of the season when he picks up his staff. This isn’t even what he wants anymore, either. Him and Soren are actually more aligned  now than Claudia is with either of them, in some ways.

It’s only a matter of time before the three of them splinter and break even further.

the way soren was physically beaten senseless and equated it to what he went through with viren.

#i love how they just had to sneak in the most incredible soren moment at the end there #because the rest of the episode wasn't fucking enough huh #anyway that's just insane #they're all insane i hate this show #mage fam #soren tdp #tdp soren #soren #tdp s5 #tdp #the dragon prince

Whatever you do don't imagine little Soren and Claudia waking up to their mother's playing on Sunday mornings. Them joining her, still in their pyjamas, and her teaching them songs while their father makes breakfast. Their hands still being too small to reach all the keys. Lissa and Viren playing together, singing together??

Or how empty the house must have felt after she left, them still expecting to see Lissa behind the piano when they returned from their day. No one being able to play anymore, because it brings back too many memories and would only remind them of her absence more. But still they left it there, because removing it would make it too final. What if she returned one day? So it remains. It's a ghost and their house is haunted. One day a friend asks to play it. To Claudia the sound perfectly describes their family: out of tune, broken.
