Okay, so my guess for next chapter is that Raife's plan to become the Avatar will fail. The description mentions something about how the clock stricks midnight and I remember Aster telling the MC that around that time magick goes wild and is harder to control and all that so .. something will go wrong with the ritual and Raife will either not be able to gain the power at all or he can't control it and will be destroyed. Or rather, it will seem like he was destroyed but in a bonus scene (that unlocks when you collect all the items) we will see that he's still alive, similar to the ending of Bloodbound. Because I don't believe we're through with Raife (unless there's a bigger bad behind him that serves as a villain in the future books i'm 99% sure we're getting) but I also doubt they'd end the book with a victory for the villain so .. everyone thinking that Raife is gone but that not being true is likely, imho.

I'm also guessing that if Raife doesn't become the Avatar, the MC will do so instead? I mean, the MC is already more powerful than everyone else (except Raife and maybe Atlas) so I think making them literally the master of all the elements is something I can see them doing. OR they'll do the complete opposite of that and have the MC lose their magick. I've been thinking of the second option a lot because in one of the diamond scenes this chapter (Shreya's I think? Or was it Beckett's? I have the worst memory, lol) the MC mentions something like how they wish they could go back to their old life, without magick and evil maniacs trying to kill them so .. that could've been a hint? Be careful what you wish for and all that. But idk .. I've been wrong about .. most of my theories so I bet none of these things will happen in the end, lol.
