Most of the legendary-weapon-methods unlocked when he merged his System with the Axe.
"[Teleportation: 2, handheld items only. Cost thirty five, six points per use per day.] It's something I couldn't afford without my cultivation pools."

Honestly, I've lost track. I know one was killed for learning something they shouldn't have known, one quit in despair to retire to a monastery, and one left after being belittled. All of this off screen.
I'm here, I'm willing to talk. Send another scribe, I guess. It's not like I'm going anywhere soon.

Oops. Okay, I lose both cool points and medieval life knowledge creds. I'm sure Rhishi FEELS like he's wearing a corset, but he's not.

Oh, good. I didn't hide those notes so deeply readers couldn't find them. No spoilers, but here have an imaginary kolache. And thank you, comments like these let me know I'm foreshadowing JUST enough.
But yes, not all truths need be spoken. I know you've... you SHOULD have seen a truth that I was concealing. At least one of them.

No, I've been careful since the beginning not to fall into the Superhero System trope. Flying around on arcs of chi, killing people with your laser eyes while lightning takes out nuclear missiles is a WAY different story than the one I'm writing.

Thank you, I learned from this thread.
The owl was bigger, and stronger, and faster. I've never SEEN a mantis slay a bird, but I believe it is possible. She came out of the left, carving red lines along the leg of the owl.

It would look small to us; but yes, gigantic to the mantis.
I had nearly died because of something driven off by an insect half my size.

Outstanding timing! We're heading into that arc now.
The Spear. I have held the Axe and the Spear, and let their Systems supplement my own. No supplant is to replace; I mean that I have let each of them augment my System, to make it better.

That's a LONG way down the line. And not a spoiler, Rhishi doesn't get there before his eight years are up.

When the world seems like a game, you'd be amazed how that affects morality. "I stabbed that [Censored] plenty of times. He never DIED on me before!" - Predator 2

My pleasure; and I'm getting away from that pattern. I'm doing the chapters first thing after work now so that doesn't become a problem.

Actions. Consequences. Bad stuff is coming, not a spoiler.

Ah, I see the paragraph now. Morrigan is one of a triform mother goddess, Celtic or Irish, possibly early Breton. She is said to have both Ravens and Crows as servants, and probably about half a dozen other animals besides. If I remember properly, she is war and vengeance and love, all at the same time.
I may go into detail in an appendix, but the Raven was a title of Morrigan, one of a trinity of god-forms that... you know what? God stuff. People can and have written books on this. Morrigan was the mother form of a maiden-mother-crone triplet, three goddesses as one, except when they weren't. Heroines in her service were Ravens, the heroes Crows.

The world's greatest heroes are summoned from all over multiple worlds, with multiple histories, mythologies, cultures, and religions. I think Baba Yaga is Russian/Slavic, part female version of the boogey-man, part sorceress, part witch, part demoness, and part spirit queen. I think, there's probably more there that I'm forgetting.

But YES, thank you. It means that without saying Wendi is a good person, I put enough subtle clues in there that it's working.

If it's the paragraph I'm finding, then no. Flash Step is the teleportation to striking range. Fleet of Foot is just fast running.
Being shorter of leg and lower of Might, it wasn't easy for me, either. I burned up both charges of Sprint, and considered buying a third between the forest and the great hall.

In our historical world, yes. I suppose I could have detailed what dyes were rarer than others, and should have, but that's more worldbuilding than I thought my readers would appreciate.
Madonna and Dimmihammas in scarlet, Kismet in pink with a white cloak, and Gamilla in purple and navy blue – they cut a memorable trio. Narces, for his part, looked like a ranger had just stepped free of a romance novel, and was out hunting his errant true love.

I know, I'd say I'm sorry except life is... a bit more active than normal. Between staying alive and sane, and coming back to see that I've written sixteen or so chapters of "Rhishisikk, Space Starfighter Ace", I've made my choice.
