Welcome to LALA-Land aka „Oh no, we’re stuck in an alternate universe“
Life can be tough for our one true Seeker. One moment he is busy completing his mission and in the next one… BANG. Not everything is as it used to be. And here he is. Richard - jumping right into the middle of the madness that is about to happen. And I’m glad it’s easier for us to actually jump from perspective to perspective. Why ? Well, just wait and see ;). But I might just give you a hint : Take a close look at the colours…
Here we got the other Rahl. Darken Rahl. And you can tell by his face that he is up to no good. Or is he? One immediately notices the change of colours. Poor Richard is stuck in cold cold world whereas things for Lord Rahl finally come to together. And it’s nearly heartbreaking to see the happiness of him. He reached his goal. Marrying Kahlan and anxiously awaiting the birth of their child. Only Kahlan doesn’t seem so happy about these goals…
This is what makes alternate universes so interesting. You get to see totally different characteristics of everyone involved. Who would’ve thought that Darken Rahl himself can be that… sensitive ? He does seem like the happiest man in the whole universe.
In the meantime, Richard has to cope with different things. Like very yummy lunch for instance. He can just be lucky to have Cara by his side or otherwise he would get easily bored I suppose.
It’s a steady rule in alternate universe that time passes slower/faster/whatsoever. And thus we suddenly meet Kahlan and her son. He’s a bit older and simply adorable. Although we know about the slight shadow that’s upon this family although this little mother and son-sequence portrays the complete opposite.
Still, Richard is facing way different problems. Stuck in the middle of nowhere with a Mord’Sith by his side. And that certain Mord’Sith has nothing better to do than trying to persuade Richard there might be other ways to stay warm.
Cara: „Here I am. Nekkid, Richard. Nekkid!“
Richard: „Did you say anything? I’m sorry, I’m freezing. "
Cara : "And I thought a Seeker has to be somehow smart… "
Although Cara clearly tries to do her best, even steals a kiss from Richard, she doesn’t succeed. It seems alternate universes are not the best place to be for Cara.
Especially not if it’s so cold and uncomfortable.
Let’s move on to a warm and cozy place.
Aaawww, isn’t it cute ? A mother with her son ? If only Nicholas wouldn’t be so cruel by now. Or is it polite to confess someone just for the fun of it? By now, everyone noticed that alternate universe are totes not good!
Kahlan must hate this universe. It’s the moment she realizes she should have killed her son right after birth. Well, better late than never?
We knew it. Lord Rahl would be so not pleased about this. What has once been a happy family is about to fall into pieces. This alternate universe was not the happiest for Kahlan it seems. And Nicholas seems to be up to even more mischief.
See ? I told you. So not up to any good. Having his father killed at his mother’s grave. Kinda looks like this universe didn’t end as happy as it started for Darken Rahl.
How about Richard and Cara? It’s best to decide this for yourself. They don’t look that happy either…
