The statue was of the kings wife and the boys mom. Aunt Amaya is their mom’s sister.

This may be an unnecessary post, but just in case I wanted to clarify: Callum is the son of the queen BEFORE she married the king. Ezran is the child of the king and the queen. That's why Soren made jokes in the first episode about Callum being a half-prince. Amaya is the sister of the queen.

“Guard, fetch a stable boy quickly. I’ve detected a large pile of bull…. droppings.” If there’s one character who can match Rayla in the sass department it’s Amaya.

Sarai was Amaya's sister and Harrow's wife.

I’m glad your enjoying the series mosco dragon prince is one of my favorite shows now!❤ Btw if you haven’t found out already this is what aunt Amaya was saying at the grave with the statue (hello sister, you were my hero, perfect, strong and unbreakable. Kind and loyal I’m sorry, older sister I failed you. Your children were safe and I let them slip away

The egg will hatch after they walk the necessary number of steps.

That's a neat trivia tidbit about the what horse's hooves mean in memorial statues.

ASL (link keeps getting deleted) - google dragon prince asl translation season 1 - tumblr) S1: EP 5 GRAVE SCENE: [Amaya looks up at the statue of Queen Sarai.] “Hello, big sister.” [She kneels and then lights the candles.] “You were my hero. Perfect, strong, enduring, compassionate… and I am really sorry big sister, I have failed you. I had your boys safely with me, but they’re missing now.” GOODBYE SCENE WITH GREN: [Puts her finger on Gren’s lips, shushing him] “I trust you, you’ve been my voice. Now you will become my hands to save the boys.” [Gren bows & then Amaya pulls him into a hug.] -

I love how both you and Elijah had the same reaction to Rayla's "all the bad feelings"

Baby rayla nearly drowned fighting a vampire, that's why she is afraid of water

For the binding it's clear (No spoilers just may have missed/misunderstood some info). 2 bindings for 2 targets. The elves were there for the King AND the Prince. She said she was there to kill Prince Ezran in ep2. (it's why Callum initially tried to lie to protect him). The king was killed so the 1st fell off. They didn't "show" that father died cause it's a kids show, but the subtext was clear. The fact that the elf leader shot the "mission successful" arrow and that her binding turned red and fell of is proof that he's dead. That's why she looked so somber, she KNEW Ezran and Callum's father had been killed. (end of ep3) But Ezran is still alive, so she is still bound.

16:00 there are ASL translations on the episodes pages on the wiki, the episode pages are spoiler free.

Hey everyone! Remember to keep the comments free of any spoilers of future episodes for Mosco. Also, make sure we’re keeping the comments cool & comfortable for everyone here. Enjoy the reaction y’all!!!

You're so close to finding out that rayla's parents actually swapped the real egg for a fake one and have been raising the baby dragon in secret for several years

I would recommend reading the Bloodmoon Huntress comic to find out why Rayla is scared of water. It doesn't spoil anything for the later seasons and is just a comic showing Rayla's life when she was like maybe 7 or smth. I'm not gonna say what happens in the book if u read it but it's a rly good comic ngl

15:42 "it may be in 10 seconds"

2:00 The king's sister in law. the sister to the boys mother.

God, there's so much stuff I want to say but I can't without spoilers gah!!! I'll just gush over the scene with Amay at her sister's grave. I don't know much ASL, so I always forget specifically what she is signing however the emotions are still conveyed well by the music and animation!

When you throw Callum's cube like dice, it makes paterns in the ground, like it's drawn to something

3:28 Bait Has A Connection To The Sun Arcanum, Hence The Flash Bait.

Can't wait for you to meet the Living Tree man!

I've been told that if you have the Closed Captions on it translates what Amaya's signing.

The dragon prince is one of my favourite shows I’m so happy your reacting to it

That statue was of the Kings WIFE, the queen. Calium and Ezra's mother and the sister of Amaya.

The only thing that really sucks is that there are only 5 of the 7 seasons out so far. I do find it amusing that Mosco has so many good insights to the series, but hasn't figured out the bands, yet. XD

Commander Gren, being such a Forthright Ginger, reminds me of Terry Pratchett's Captain Carrot of the Ankh-Morpork Night Watch ("DiscWorld" books) who, spoiler, would rather be a dutiful Watchman than his blood-born destiny (the Long-Lost King of Ankh-Morpork). 😉

14:33 Bait In Midair: Questioning My Life Choices Now!

The binding isn't coming off because she didn't kill the king's son.

Callum=Elijash Rayla=Mosco

14:15 Thalassophobia? Or rather megalohydrothalassophobia? Fear of giant sea monsters.

I can't wait for you to see rayla use some of her moonshadow elf magic to turn herself into a human, and human all over the place

8:27 Bait: You Guys Just Talking About Me? 🧐

Seeing you theory craft so early on into the series makes me so happy! I love hearing about your theories as you're watching the show. You are theorizing about things that I didn't think about too deeply during my first time watching, but those things end up being important later on, so it's great that you're able to identify them so early!

8:36 Queen Sarai. Amaya's Big Sister And Callum And Ezran's Mother. 🕯️

"It's setting so much stuff up, and there's still so many things we don't really have answers to yet." -plot synopsis for pretty much the entire series

Oh if you were scared by this episode...... Evil laughter ensues

There’s an explanation of Rayla’s fear of water in the graphic novel ‘Bloodmoon Huntress’ however I recommend if you do read it, that you do so later on because there are references to spoilers throughout it as you’re not caught up yet, but otherwise they don’t explain it in the series. There are a lot of side stories they made online on their website (The Dragon Prince) too for the last seasons they released, again a lot of spoilers though, so probably wait until caught up if you do read it. I absolutely adore Dragon Prince and love hearing your predictions and thoughts! Glad you’re enjoying it!

I'd suggest maybe reading the official comics that go along with the series. One of them, called "Bloodmoon Huntress", actually has the scene of how Rayla got her fear of water. The first comic, "Through the Moon", is actually kind of recommended reading between seasons three and four of the show, as it fills in some of the context as to what happened between those seasons. Besides "Through the Moon", the other two comics don't really have spoilers in them.

The dark mage said that it takes dark magic to transfer the souls so if the snake did bite Harold then he wouldn't be in the bird

The first binding Loosened when king harrow was killed. The second will loosen when Ezra is killed

11:01 This Is My Favorite Shot From Season 1 Episode 5! 😂 The Boys Are Having Fun, Rayla's Freaking Out And Bait's Just His Usual Grumpy Self! 😂

Nothing is ever explained, prepare to be disappointed

There are 5 seasons and still not an answer for what happened that night between the king and Viren.

11:57 😂 Get Ready For More. 😂

In North America, which is where the show creators are based (American-Canadian), if the horse has all hooves down, the person riding died of natural causes/causes unrelated to the battle. If one hoof is up, the person died from battle injuries or they were wounded in battle. If two hooves are up, the person died in battle. It was already mentioned in the episode, but in case you didn't catch it: the queen's name is Sarai. Queen Sarai. I can't wait for you to learn more about her in the future. I also can't wait for you to learn more about Rayla's parents and Rayla's upbringing!!!!! You're going to hate it and love it at the same time (mostly love). Runaan (the imprisoned elf) is going to be important for later! (Like. Long-term later.) Just keep that in mind. "[Rayla]'s going to HATE the ocean [book/season]" oh you don't even know. Oh. Prepare yourself. Also! Don't forget to watch those end credits! Some are silly and fun, but some foreshadow important details for later.

5:11 Me Pissed Off At Work.

The statue was of Queen Sarai, Amaya's sister and Harrow's wife. Amaya was saying "Hello sister. You were my hero, perfect, strong, unbreakable, kind, and loyal. I'm sorry, sister. I failed you. Your children were safe, but I let them slip away." I want so badly to say more about your thoughts near the end of the video, but even just saying this much might be a spoiler for [SEASON AND EPISODE REDACTED].

I’m not trying to spoil anything, but there IS a comic book you can buy about little Rayla which does have context for her fear of water, some more depth on her parents and adds to her relationship with Runaan

The bind will come of in the moment when Rayla will find true love, which will happen when she is kissed by Soren

2:02 yes Mosco... *ANT*

Love the reactions. A little sad you aren’t showing your reactions to the end credit drawings they give extra details to certain things

So what Amaya said to the statue is this; ' Hello sister. You were my hero. perfect, strong and unbreakable. Kind and loyal. I'm sorry, older sister, I failed you. Your children were safe and I let them slip away.' As far as her signing to Gwenn after the water attack it says; ' I have trusted you as my voice, now I trust you as my will. Save the boys." If you need any other signs translated, let me know ^^.

Here's a couple of teasers: The bindings the elves did were for the targets that needed to die. The binding can only come off if she finishes her job. I'm not sure if the king's completely dead as I haven't finished the show (watched seasons 1-4) and Idk if some twist is revealed to have him dead but not dead. Let's just say Rayla's parents' story is... different than what she knows. I can't wait for you to see what happens with Amaya 😺

13:50 there was in fact, a big ordeal there

Before you watch season 4 read the books through the moon will help you understand how is start off and for rayla backstory on why she hates water and what happens to her parents read the Bloodmoon Huntress.

No spoilers, just commenting that I absolutely love how complicated of an antagonist Viren is. You've already seen peeks at it, and there's a lot more to look forward to in what he does and how he's motivated. It's probably the most complex antagonist we've seen from this team, and I love it. The writing team does make a few questionable and not great choices (at least in my opinion). How they handled Viren is one thing they knock out of the park.

This episode was what made me fall in love with this series. I don't speak ASL, and so those untranslated sign exchanges (and especially the one with her sister's statue) weren't for me. I really like that soft exclusion, actually. Perhaps I will learn ASL and be able to read it someday, but until then, it's a private exchange between Amaya and the memory of her sister.

That one thing you said is totally going to happen! That other thing was way off though.

*comic spoilers* Rayla's afraid of water because she got chucked off a cliff and almost drowned when she was like... 10 (she's s1 Ez sized I think?). There was a super evil vampire lady. Rayla's parents are 3x09 I think?

Just a fun fact for those who don't know! Keep an eye out for some hidden pride flags throughout the series!

NO WAY I’M YOUR THIRD COMMENT?!

10:27 Viren. Soren And Claudia's Father. Who's One Of The Worst Parents In History.

Do not trust viren it may be a month it may be a year (or 2 seconds after i leave)
