Is there an end to the path of the sword? Perhaps, perhaps not. Perhaps the real answer is somewhere in the middle, revealed only once they are, both of them, dead by one another’s cutting arts.
An interesting contradiction here, and one I think Incubus knows intimately, to declare “It never ends” while standing next to one who seeks an end to all.
A betrayal seems certain if he is not struck down before Jagganoth is freed.
Even the most wretches of rabid dogs does not deny its true nature. Which, then, is more wretched – the rabid dog or the old pet who still slavers at the scent of blood?
When Prim finds that The Road has no ending and takes comfort in it, we declare her wise and Royalty. When Incubus does the same, we call him an idiot and a stinky terrible swordsman. Doesn’t seem fair, does it?
Amazing plot twist that Icubus genuinely loves his sister Maya and always has. I’m starting to think that when Maya calls Incubus a poor swordsman, she doesn’t mean that he can’t kill her, she means that he keeps refusing to. All this time he has been sparing her life and she can only hate him for it.
Alas, the path of the noodle vendor had a clear ending.
Has it? How many noodles sold is enough noodle to reach the end of the path?
Sell Six Billion Noodles
seeing inky look almost solemn here is distressing
I know. I’m worried about Maya TT_TT

What an unbelievable first panel. Truly gorgeous art

everybodys having climactic showdowns with their narrative foils, and allisons off having worm time

go white chain! crack that repressed angel’s egg!!!!!!!
“A relative of some sort, he was fond of saying” We saw how he grew up, that guy has no biological family he’d know the name of. It was her name 🙁
And here we see that Incubus, unlike Auntie Maya, can answer Meti’s riddle. He can resolve the paradox of violence.
It’s not an answer that a lot of people would like, but it is consistent and it is actionable.
He knows what he is and what that means.
Very interesting things going on here, what with Incubus being technically correct in this story where god loves a fool.
I’m starting to think Incubus and Jadis have a lot in common.
The path ends at the edge of the sword. So unless you have a very long sword it’s a tragically short path.
Now suppose someone used a sword with no edge.
When Prim finds that The Road has no ending and takes comfort in it, we declare her wise and Royalty. When Incubus does the same, we call him an idiot and a stinky terrible swordsman. Doesn’t seem fair, does it?
Contradictions? In MY kill six billion demons!?
It’s more likely than you think…
Yttr Am!
The path of the sword always ends on the end of another sword.

Now this is the self-assured and low-key sexy incubus I’ve been wanting back ever since book three! Truly perhaps he was never gone
I’m just now noticing that Incubus’s blood arms are very similar in appearance to Juggernaut Star and the other Thorn Knights’ armor.
Incubus should know that all things end, except maybe Zoss.
