The undefeated swordsman is exceptionally poor. This is why Incubus will never surpass Maya, he keeps beating her. And that isn't blood in her mouth, it's broth from her victory noodles.

Maya may have saved the rat but there's no doubt in my mind she got her rear end whooped by Incubus. She wins when she loses and Inky loses whenever he wins

The angel wings make me think that we may be reuniting with cio and white chain. We know neither of them are truly dead as demons live in the darkness without a mask, lost, but the wheel smashing lord may go off to find her. White chain is absolutely not dead and is just hanging out with the other pissed off, disembodied angels. I just wonder how she'll go on a journey to get them back.

Is White Chain not standing on Maya's right with Nyave and Princess?

I don't think you could embarrass Inkadink with the Pale Bolt thing, he's still working on the wavelength that having a special name is badass and awesome. Maya, however...

You must strive for attachment-non-attachment when probating. Your probe must be sticky and resolute. A weak, listless probe is a despicable thing. But you must also not cling to your moderation, or its result. Clinging is the great error of men. A man who moderates without thought of his action can ban God.

Swear I saw somewhere that "demon" was nonspecific for any Really Bad Guy. The only demon killed so far was Nadia's husband and the six billion number is probably metaphorical.

By his standards, he also didn't win: she's still alive.

Incubus wins every fight; Maya wins every battle. Ink schools Maya ten ways from Sunday in a straight fight every single time but he will never, ever get what he wants from his victories.

Wait, how is Incubus connected to Metatron?

Actually, what is Metatron's deal again? I kinda forgot they even existed what with Jaggy being on his whole "about to destroy the universe" kick.

Metatron is a Prime Angel, the oldest living thing in existence, and the thing most closest to the original gods of the universe. Metatron is the one who tasked Jagganoth with destroying the universe, but Jagganoth thinks if he takes down Metatron he can rebuild the universe in his own, more peaceful image.

Maya criticizing her dead children instead of talking about how much she loves or misses them, especially that she was criticizing that they were too happy and loved her too much, is a great character moment for her.

Incubus understood Meti's teachings better than Maya, but Meti knew he would only use them for evil. Maya still doesn't get it, and Meti wrote the Sword Manual in hopes she'd finally understand the mistake of her attachments. This is why Maya holds that grudge against Ink, she still doesn't truly understand death. Teaching Allison may be her path to true understanding.

It makes her Cut dissolute, and that's why she can't put Incubus down for good. Her resentment and sorrow are keeping her from realizing her total will.

Maybe through this you can see how Royalty isn't a good thing.

Elder Scrolls lore is one of the primary inspirations for KSBD's weirdness, and the actual source of the line "reach heaven by violence". Michael Kirkbride is kind of like Abaddon if he were like 50% more crazy

One thing I'm not sure about : since there are as many keys as there are universes, does that mean a herald with a single key lended to them can only use it to navigate from Throne to one world and back, or can it be used to travel freely?

Every Key has one Door to one universe. Alison's key is special because it's the only one that gives her the ability to freely travel between worlds.

Yeah, Zaid was the heir, the only reason Allison got the key is because Zaid got snatched and Zoss got his head chopped off. Allison being a complete mistake is the reason she's the only True Heir.
