blue-mood-blue:

This entire flashback sequence with Magnus learning that strength is asking for help.

That is… that is so important. That is a lesson that Magnus has been trying to learn through this entire campaign, something that Carey tried to tell him, the very reason he was able to escape the Astral Plane while in Wonderland.

Did Magnus forget that lesson after Raven’s Roost? He didn’t fight alone then, but he was alone after, and maybe he thought it would be better to fight alone than to risk anyone else by letting them fight alongside him.
