I read Philoctetes this week and was thinking the bow was perhaps a bow of the "gods" but am now thinking maybe it's the archer, not the bow...
If I am remembering the first encounter with the "old man" the smell of oranges seeps through where the veil between the worlds is thin, right? Louis L'amour did something like that in one of his fantasy westerns. Something to pay attention for when I re-read this story.
I am eagerly reading this but making myself wait a few weeks at a time, so I can have more of the story in one go. I love the divine element you have been weaving in and this foray into another plane. Looking forward to discovering just who/what is behind all the mayhem in the world and how our heros are going to overcome!
The action in here is crazy good!! Fav chapter so far
Also I'm not sure if it's a typo or what but starting from “A company of riders thundered into the valley.” near the end of the paragraph “Even though the riders managed to fell some of them"

I don't want to say much, but that was the intent with the smell of oranges, yes.
Wow, my favorite chapter yet. Can't wait for the next one!
Yayyyyy

Great fulfillment of foreshadowing… very satisfying 🤗

Thank you!
(That one is intentional. I was attempting a felling-of-trees imagery. Not entirely sure it worked, but I'm sticking with it for now.)
Wonderful reveal of the orange grove
Love the shift into the mystical. Also, finally some real bonding between Min La and So Ga. Great action this chapter.
so NOT a knock out drug but the herbs required to hide the rot of the bandaged men. I have so many more questions now.
At which chapter would you say the arc or book actually ends? I want a complete story before I commit to reading.
There's quite a ways to go yet, I'm afraid.
I'll save this story up for a rainy day, I have a gut feeling I'll really enjoy this.
The more the merrier!
