In the Disney version of Rapunzel (Tangled) the step-mother uses some sort of magic song to gain youth from Rapunzel's hair, so I am wondering if Sybil needing Cress's blood is going to be something similar. Although, I have no idea why she would want the blood of a shell. Maybe it helps with her beauty or something. What do y'all think?
Also, if you have not already read the first chapter of Cress, you can find it here .
or maybe it's needed for the antidote for the plague? because aren't shells the ones who spread them in the first place and there probably arent' that many shells left on luna since they were all killed? SO EXCITED though for cress!!! And cress and thorne *SQUEEE
Oh my gosh i think that you are on to something! I am thinking that it is to overthrow Queen Levanas glamour and become queen instead. It seems that she would be a more tyrannical ruler regardless.
It could also be what's spreading the plague, so Sybil may need it to give to Queen Levana so she can get it spreading more on Earth o.O
Ignore if you don't want to be spoiled.........
Ok well they are using the blood to spread the plague. The Queen turns a blind eye when shells escape. Probably didn't help much.
It has actually just been confirmed in Cress, that the blood of Lunar shells is needed for the antidote haha.
Disney's story about Rapunzel isn't an original story. Although there are many adaptations of Rapunzel, in Cress author uses some quotes, I think, from a Brothers Grimm's version of the story. Well, it's not particulary their version... anyway if you're interested it's easier to see for yourself. But it's actually pretty weird. And it will ruin your childhood but still worth it :D
Shell blood actually doesn't carry the disease, it cures it. That's why they need the blood.
