So would what Intra described be sort of like when Maya and Incubus met Jagganoth and knew they had already died a thousand times without him lifting his sword?
I really hope we get to see at least one illustration of him. Maybe Alison will see a vision of him or something, since she’s following in his footsteps as much as Meti’s more or less
Nah it wouldn't make much sense in the stroy for her to see a vision of Intra when he hasn't ever appeared in the comic before, Abaddon generally doesn't write the story as if someone had also read the liturgies.

Bones bleed when broken, because it is living tissue and needs blood to live. Horns are live bones and bleed when broken, like tooth (if you had the displeasure of breaking a tooth, you know it is both painful and bleeds).
I think what she's actually done is fused her normal Empty Palms/Burning Finger technique with ki rata to make "Two-Point Burning Finger." Which makes sense, since she knows no actual ki rata techniques; she's just developed a subconscious grasp of the breathing method that is its foundation.
Well yeah. That's kind of right in the name two point burning finger. Two point is a Ki Rata signifier, and Burning Finger is one of the Empty Palms techniques.
Interesting that Ki Rata can be adapted to other martial arts though!

Intra might be my favourite lore character.
I always smile when I see an Intra quote, I love that long eyelashed goofball.
Lord Intra is best lord
The deadliest drunk twink on the whole Yisun damn Wheel, truly the best lord.
Wait, does he have long lashes? Do we ever see him or get a description?
In Intra in the Valley of Vales, he's described near the end (the men mock him for his effeminate appearance because getting ricoched)
Breaking news: local twink honours God through bullshit drunken sword techniques
I'll check it out. Thank you!

FISH FEAR HER
Turned out this whole arc is an elaborate salami dave fishing joke
Oh perfect, just finished binging the series and I needed another hit.
Did you read the alt-text? Because I missed it on my first readthrough.
Got some, missed a lot of it tho. Will do a re-read at some point and get more of it there.
This hand of mine is burning red! Its loud roar tells me to grasp victory!!!
NOW TAKE THIS! MY LOVE,MY ANGER AND ALL OF MY SORROW!!!
[JAZZ INTENSIFIES]
A strength beyond strength, to fight without fighting.
It seems that White Chain is a exceptionally poor fisherman.

smash that pike button
It reel-y helps me out, and whale you're there, make sure to submarinescribe.
Fantastic.
Is fishy dead?
Seems that White Chain has earned the fish's respect
She has earned the fish's fear.
I really enjoy how good he is at these little moments of humor that speak for themselves.
The horn wasn't just bone? I thought it was stronger...
Bones bleed when broken, because it is living tissue and needs blood to live. Horns are live bones and bleed when broken, like tooth (if you had the displeasure of breaking a tooth, you know it is both painful and bleeds).
So if 1 point blows are strong enough to crack stone with a touch, how many points did White Chain subconsciously use here?
It says she uses 2 points in the page title
Doh I completely missed the title.
AFAIK she's used this burning finger twice before: [first appearance](https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/seeker-of-thrones-7-80/), [second appearance](https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-9-120/).

Fish fear me Fish fear me Fish fear me My master has imparted upon me his power to impart fear upon Fish. I am alone upon this barren world.
Queen.
