red miles – Flying through Storytelling

callmearcturus replied to your post “How would a god tiered blood player be useful in combat or just what…”

wait why do we say the Red Miles are a Blood power? are we saying DD is Blood?

I wouldn’t say DD is Blood.

I’d say the Ring is. Blood is about relationships, collectives, social cohesion and the sacrifices individuals make in order to enable it–a group united under a common banner/ideal/way of living. The queen’s ring is a centralized symbol for the power of her rule over the people of Derse/Prospit.

Contrast it’s power against Breath, to boot. The Red Miles are fearsome because of their inescapability…

And Breath allows John to escape anything. One is a power of bondage, the other of freedom.

Also Jacks initial red miles attack literally spawns out of the blood on his arm, if you look closely. So there’s that.
