It's been a while. Luckily I could recall most of what happened...

When I read the bit about teleporting to the tournament vs walking there, I couldn't help but think of this quote from the Inheritance Cycle: "When you can have anything you want with a few words, the goal matters not, only the journey to it." - Rhunon

And I that nod to the swordsman! Ah, yes, the world is coming together...

Just to make sure the information was correct I went back to the other stories. Also that's a really good quote.

It's worth remembering. My most quoted sentence from the Inheritance Cycle is much less eloquent, though: "Ah, confound it, give me that!" - A newly handless Captain Martland Redbeard
