Ooh, I loved the worldbuilding in this one. Are the details here based on an existing mythology, or were they made up just for this story?
Mur, I'd love to see a longer story or even a novel in this world. It sounds really cool. And since the earth-powered assassin is still alive at the end, there's a good antagonist right there. Or protagonist, it'd be cool to find out more about his backstory.
