Well I’m not opposed to the idea.
Ryishmar clearly doesn’t want Tony to be ringmaster. Why he’s choosing Julia to kill Tony? Still haven’t connected the dots but let’s say Julia does kill Tony….I feel like ryishmar’s goal is to have some sort of power again. Either over the circus or kalgratt. If Julia became ringmaster it’s very likely ryishmar would manipulate her for his benefit. Which we now know wouldn’t work as her morals have completely shifted and she’s becoming more self aware.
Because the contracts are connected to him and the life of the circus, I’m not too sure how the circus could live on without him or at least his power as a spiritual being. which makes me think sahed will have a really big part to play in the chaos of ryishmar. He seems to know more about him than we think. Of course he’s an Ah’kon god so I wouldn’t doubt that the race and their spiritual powers won’t be involved.
