Okayyy so Baide…

I’m rereading FW and IF, and I just have a bunch of plot points that seem to line up, but I have no clue what to do with them.

In FW, in Chapter 1, we’re told that the fables “demonize dragons”. Now, when I originally re-read this, I thought Violet was referring to wyvern. I thought RY wanted this sentence to read as causal as possible.

BUT… I’m not sure if that’s the case anymore. In IF, Violet mentioned that Baide’s eyes were hazy earlier in the book, and then towards the end she referred to Baide’s eyes as opaque instead of golden. It makes me question if Baide could be a “demonized” dragon because we know that Jack implied he could control Baide.

I also know that Jack told Violet that everyone thinks he’s the dangerous one but she bonded two (don’t have the exact quote but it was something along those lines).

Does that mean that she has the ability to control two dragons?

We also know the dragons are lying and withholding information. In IF, Xaden mentioned that Sgayel’s previous rider was his grandfather, but on the official record it was his great uncle.

This all seems sketchy. The dragons of the marked ones are lying about their former riders (saw RY say this in an interview), which automatically gifts a dragon’s current rider two signets. These dragons and riders would be not only the most powerful, but in ways (by their rider’s parents actions) also the some of the most noble and willing to fight/rebel.

And we know that venin can kill dragons. Jack killed Baide. Berwyn killed a dragon in OS and tried killing Sgayel.

So obviously, the dragon’s of the marked ones (the ones with two signets) could be gearing up for a fight with the “demonized” dragons and the venin and the wyvern?

I don’t know!!! I feel like I have information but I’m having trouble plotting it out. Any thoughts? Am I missing anything? This post is part just revisiting information and part thinking out loud.
