What a lovely situation to find- I "go away" for a week and return to all these posts! Woo Hoo!

As ever, a true rendering of the "good parts" would simply mean reposting the whole thing, so let me see if I can be a BIT more subtle than that...

It was my nature to uproot, and leave behind. I stalked and kept hidden to the shadows. I threatened lives with my very nature.

The entire extended metaphor of Seth with his Birthsign is brilliantly handled. And, as many have done before him, he perhaps takes circumstance for prophecy.

It didn't mean she wasn't waiting for me in some shadow though. Former lovers could put such a spring in the step. In the sense that you were more paranoid than you were to begin with.

Noted without comment- but with a certain rueful laughter.

Those that waive the option to allow me to retire will face the full scope of my skill.

Translation- you do not get to be Grandmaster by being shy or backward. And you especially do not get to retire by begging.

The quick way he dealt with Sabine- and yet also seeks to teach her… yes, that is pure Sethyas.

Even more so was his knowledge of Ashlander ways, which allowed him to fill the power vacuum without tearing the Tong apart.

"With this you take the mantle. Lead well, and do not try to find me." I said as I left the Morag Tong behind for the last time.

Wow.

After all, the survivors pass down the best techniques.

Still love that quote.

Simply wonderful throughout. I feel my own scalp beginning to tingle- perhaps I should dash off 1000 words or so and get Athlain up that dratted mountain.
