I have to agree this song really does sound like a teaching song. Brought here by Embers by Vathara, one of the best stories I've ever read. Vathara ranks up there with the great author whose books this song comes from in my opinion. Mercedes Lackey and Vathara both craft with such skill and attention to detail.

@sarukun08 @sarukun08 since I can't seem to "like" this I wanted to let you know that's exactly why I'm listening to this, and imagining Rikiya humming this during those four minutes had me cackling with glee! Poor Shirong!
I'm laughing now, just imagining his face! XD There'll definitely be lots of broken -and possibly burnt - rocks once Shirong finds out. If he ever does. *insert grinning*
I'm about twenty or thirty minutes from reading it in action... but given Darian's obvious expertise, I fully expect it to be as amazingly incredible as anything Vanyel pulled off, with all his magical power.
“A few more marines fell in as they retreated, Rikiya humming under his breath. Zuko stifled a snort of laughter. Caught Shirong's questioning glance, and mouthed, *Explain later.* Hopefully, later would be where Shirong could break a few rocks and burn things without drawing a whole army down on their heads. The Dai Li was upset enough with the reality of Low War. Knowing the Fire Nation wrote songs about it... *I don't get people, but even I know that's not going to go over well.* He really hoped Fong paid attention, this time.” Next time, I'm bringing the rattle-vipers.” -Embers Still the cream of the crop in 2024!!!

Crippling a guy puts pressure on the enemy's resources and slows them down. Also it's kinda difficult for a cripple to fight and move in a forest setting.
I can just imagine a serial killer listening to this and then setting all these things up as an episode on CSI or something...XD (take no offence, anyone, and PLEASE someone make me stop watching criminal minds!! XD)

@ARP7777777 I hope your kidding about teaching children to hate. I think we have had more then enough of that. we have to teach then cation yes, and that there will be times when they must make a stand. but really and truly I don't want my daughter to every know what it is to hate some one. because down that path lays destruction. and dont think I dont know what it is to hate some one and it has done nothing to harm the person that wronged me and much to harm me
same thing , it might be sicker in your own opinion they think the other way is sicker. your going to get "brain washed" no matter what and I imagine that this song or the sediments of it would have been great years ago. things change and the worlds influence change with it. sorry
@ARP7777777 Two sides about that one, and you cannot call our current education unbiased. Granted, if a bias is in your own direction, well, it isn't terribly depressing to you. Although I agree that indroctrinating children is wrong.
I don't end up with her. I don't end up with white hair in the immediate future. God isn't real. Only thing that is real is the demons that haunt me. I'm not a divine being. I'm all alone
of course, that democrat back public education brainwashing could be worse from a different point of view. "lets teach them not to fight, not to band together. lets teach them that everyone is nice and the same and your friend, so that you don't know what to do when someone slits your throat because their culture says they're better than you, that you're not human, and that killing and enslaving you is a okay...which is worse, teach a kid to hate and fight, or teach him to be a lamb to slaughter
Yh. I have chosen her.She is my soul mate.We are spiritually the same being divided.

rachelleryan it's Darrian explaining traps to the hawk brothers in Owls flight I believe
This sounds like a great song to hum to yourself as you retreat after burying enemy soldiers in a mudslide.
This was the moment General Fong knew he had fucked up.
I love how a whole bunch of us are here from the same fanfic. Not that I can really say much since I am too.
Actually I knew this song before I read Vathara's "Embers" but now the only way I can imagine this song is when Rikiya is humming it in chapter 67.

Darian's Channel Trap is possibly the most epic use of hunting skills I have ever encountered in Fiction
I'm about twenty or thirty minutes from reading it in action... but given Darian's obvious expertise, I fully expect it to be as amazingly incredible as anything Vanyel pulled off, with all his magical power.
This would also be right at home in the Redwall books.
“A few more marines fell in as they retreated, Rikiya humming under his breath. Zuko stifled a snort of laughter. Caught Shirong's questioning glance, and mouthed, *Explain later.*

Probably my favorite series from Mercedes Lackey. Although I like "To take a thief" as well.
yeah, that would be great. I don't mind if it has only 1 picture, its the song that matters to me :)
Thank You.
A cripple can still fight, death is one way to be sure no strike comes back.
Ah, but you cripple a man, and you take two down. Him, and the person to tend to his wounds.
Crippling a guy puts pressure on the enemy's resources and slows them down. Also it's kinda difficult for a cripple to fight and move in a forest setting.
A crippled soldier also acts as bait to draw his comrades into your line of fire.
I can just imagine a serial killer listening to this and then setting all these things up as an episode on CSI or something...XD (take no offence, anyone, and PLEASE someone make me stop watching criminal minds!! XD)
