Reading Notes: Ramayana Part A - Thataka

Thataka
They wenth through a dark forest with many beasts including a particularly terrible member of a man-eating, shapeshifting species of creature
The chosen one challenges the beast
He was reluctant to kill it and maimed it, but it kept attacking after turning invisible
The sage urged him to kill it so he did
The sage chanted some mantras and weapons appeared before him for the chosen one
The weapons spoke to the chosen one and said they would do his bidding
They then went to the sages hermitage and were welcome by the other sages
They gave up some offerings
Some demons attacked
The chosen one called for his weapons and they appeared next to him

He kills all the demons

Could tell this story as sort of a hunt for a deadly beast
the Witcher comes to mind
could have a taken a contract out on this beast

Week 7 Story - You'll Find Your Dreams at a Crossroads

It was nearing midnight, and though the moon shone full, it was still dark. Justin walked forward, tentatively, following an old path in the woods. He had heard the legends. The hushed whispers of the folk of the town he grew up in. That there was something that could give him anything he had ever wanted. Something unnatural. He heard the rumors: that you had to bring gifts – an offering of sorts. He had spent the last week meticulously gathering what he needed: a yarrow flower, a cat’s paw, human blood – your own blood.   You’ll find your dreams at a crossroads. It was a phrase well recorded with the town. Every victim of an unsolved murder within the last hundred years in his town had the phrase carved into one of their arms. Granted, there weren’t many of them, but there were enough to make people wonder. The phrase repeated in his mind over and over. He grew nervous. The Crossroads Justin stopped. In front of him, the path split. A crossroads, he thought . He was the
