Golden Silver Dust Magical Wanderlust Part Five Comments

The action of the narrative is back after that lyrical pause in Part Four and back with a sudden shift in tone. This is apocalyptic and relentless. It's an unleashing of the powers she embodies that have been dormant inside. Or perhaps she only represents these powers but in some way she too wants this destruction to fall as a reckoning for previous betrayal (?) Right now I'm going to re-read Part Five to seek clarity about this apocalyptic energy. Brief time out. // SHE BECAME EVERYTHING SHE SHOULDN'T. Her sudden reversal into an avenging angel may then be a reaction to these previous betrayals. But another passage suggests it's not a literal destructiveness: TO THEM IT WAS ALL JUST A DREAM. But real or imagined, this destructiveness is some kind of punishment and we are told she feels NO EMPATHY for the victims. Apocalypse is always nasty business.
