#not just Will and James trapped by the story being told– also Anharion and Sarcean. They too need to be set free of the narrative.
Text
How can Will move forward if he's just ignoring his past and listening to people who call him evil– internalizing all that self hatred?
How can James find his voice and master his needs if he actually has no autonomy– if he keeps letting people tell him he has no autonomy?
The battlefield in Dark Heir is really about who controls the narrative. Right now the Light controls the narrative and James and Will are losing because of it. They have to take the control back. They can't do that if they continue to buy into the propaganda against them, their past selves, their relationship, and the desires they harbour.
They need to start facing themselves as they are, who they once were, and start fighting back against the Light's narrative to be free of it.
