Klea recognizes Shinta for who she really is. And is the one to approach her, she explains her and emerys relationship and also includes Sylva and annaras side. Putting emerys complicated past and complicated relationships with not only the oroboros but also the nephilim out for Shinta to consider. Leaving the decision to her, she leaves with one last word, “Shinta, he may not be perfect, he may not be what you are looking for, but he loves his family and his home with all his being so you decide if you want to be apart of that”
i think that after all the tragedy and the losses, Emery needs some joy. Especially of it comes to family:his father died, tow of masters died,Silvia died, Gwen left for earth. Emery needs a "win",meaning that he find out that he has a daughter and start a relation with her and repair the one with the ouroboros faction and Annara, after all they helped him in a lot of ways and maybe he can finally mourn Silvia with the help of his daughter.I hope the story goes this way because it will bring more happiness in the story, and because Emery deserves It.
Avan, so far this story is brilliant and I’m sure either way you take it we will all love it, but I’ll add my two cents. Emerys story has been one of tragedy. For every win he has had he has had almost double the losses, but it serves his character Arc well. He started off as naive and gullible. Has been beaten and trodden on, taken advantage of and betrayed. He’s had to learn to be calm under pressure, adaptable , cunning and strategical to get where he is now. He has grown so much, and we have loved watching home grow. And we will love to continue to watch him grown and hopefully in the art of fatherhood as well. In my opinion, once he does find out Shanta is his daughter he will want to do everything he can to mentor her. It will mirror his journey in a way where he had no one to guide him till lord izta came around and acted like a father figure to him and his group. I hated what you did with the Silva arc. not because it was a bad choice but because I loved Silva as a character. Story wise it was perfect. It added to emerys depth as a character and advanced the story in a great way. But I think Emery needs a win here. I think he should get the joy of having his relationship with Shinta flourish. It will give him more to strive for and more to loose. Part of this is because selfishly I want to see Emery happy and the other part it will add to the story in so many ways. It will open up possibilities to explore Emerys relationship with the Oroboris family. It can either turn in to him helping the Queen with her issue with the Emperor and make them the earths faction Allies or can strain it more and make them more of an enemy. It’s opens up avenues for the Nephilim to try to go after Shinta to get to Emery. Not only could Emery help Shinta with her bloodline and controlling her wolf side, but Also set up to have Emery advance his Bloodline with insights from Shinta’s or help with his grand Magus breakthrough. Also since they both have the same elemental affinities , I think Emery can train her to be one of the top acolytes in the academy, not to mention he possibly as a Chaos champion (or whatever it is called that Chumo is) I know it’s kind of ranty, but this is how I feel will add to the story the most, but obviously you know much better the direction it should go in. Also, the Story is about Emery, and Shinta will have her part to play, but isn’t the MC. But given her context I know she will greatly affect the story. Whatever you choose I know it will be best , and thanks for such a great story so far!
Honestly the two things I'd like to see is Shinta joining Hall 120 and that Shinta finally makes the move to tell Emery that she is his daughter. After all she already realized that he was kept in the dark just as much as she was, giving them something in common and a viewpoint she should understand quite well. She just needs to gain the courage to take that final step and I hope it won't be delayed for too long because honestly it's starting to get annoying that it's not going anywhere.
I believe that Klea would be the most likely to approach Shinta to join, but I don't think Klea would tell her about Emery and Silvia's backstory. A surprise move would be Annara telling Shinta she should join Emery's hall. I think a surprising unexpected twist would be the Oracle showing up telling Shinta that Emery and Shinta need each other, and also hinting at this being the reason she was persistent in Emery becoming an instructor.
