![]() This woman will tear off Ayodhya’s veils of falsehood before the eyes of its people. She, this hunchback, would be the one who ignites its tail. Dasarathan’s lust and betrayal, Aswapathy’s greed, ambition, and anger, all these will fall upon Ayodhya like a flaming comet, an evil omen. Not much time left now for deeply guarded secrets to become street songs in Ayodhya. When dawn breaks, Manthara would not be in Ayodhya. Her eyes, like a wild cat’s, found light slowly in the dark. She pulled the dagger out and gripped it. Manthara chided her wounds to be silent and tied the bundle close to her chest. Must leave as soon as possible and reach the jungle. How smart! What useless brains, not good enough to consider the simple act of lighting the stone-lamp! What sincerity! The soldiers are out seeking the woman who spied for kings. They searched north and south, up and down, all around and settled down to gossip for a while. The torches circled the stone-lamp a few times. And tapas-austerities! Where would starving folk find time for all that? But…the dagger…she knew how to wield it well. Those come out of secret affairs with the devas. Manthara’s hand stretched towards the handle of the dagger tucked into her waist. She taught Malayalam till her retirement in 2001. All her novels and collections of short fiction have won prestigious State-level awards as well as the Sahitya Akademi Award. Sarah Joseph is Kerala’s most famous woman writer and activist. Beneath the hills of gold, Manthara’s hump became a black rock. She pulled the night over herself and lay flat on the ground, face down. Then, some sixty more-as if preparing for battle! Manthara lost hope. The haystacks glittered like hills of gold. Suddenly, a torch leapt from the stables. She had crept around the stables and was now hidden in the haystacks quite deliberately. Not for nothing did she decide against waiting where Valaakan had told her, or avoid the route he had suggested. Manthara was no stranger to making a fresh move when the first went wrong. Treachery? Will Valaakan betray her? Was there a smile one could trust, candid, and open in Kosalam? This would not be the first time her calculations had failed. She waited a long time, watching intently, wondering when his bony dark form would emerge from the darkness. Valaakan was not to be seen behind the stone-lamp. ![]() Straightening up and stealing a look, Manthara quickly crouched into the valley between two hill-like haystacks. A gold bangle for his wife, to leave the stone-lamps unlit. A hundred gold coins for Valaakan to get her past the border. Outside the fort, Valaakan’s single-ox cart will be waiting. There would Valaakan have hung a ladder of jungle-vines-her escape from the fort a ladder marked by a bunch of aattuvanchi flowers. On the other side of the stone-lamp, the forest. Amusement lit the old crone’s face and spread as contempt. Kosalam is not free of untruth and treachery and false words it is not the Land of Maveli that once thrived somewhere in the south. To expect gratitude for food partaken is sheer greed on the part of those who offer it. Today was Valaakan’s woman’s turn to light the lamps. She had no way but to crawl over the sharp gravel. And now, to reach the space in the middle where the big stone-lamp stood and the small one where Valaakan was waiting. The wound on her knee smarted as it scraped against the granite. Kneeling, crawling, creeping, she escaped the eyes of the horses and crossed the stables. They did not find her and the torch slid back into the stable. The old crone pressed hard against the wall, as still as a painting. A burning torch stretched out into the open. She uttered a curse without opening her mouth.Ī question and some light leapt out of the stable. Manthara felt as if all of Ayodhya had heard the clatter of the hooves on the granite-paved stable floor. The horses saw her and neighed a warning. Manthara did not become a spy to retreat at the sight of blood. The warmth that seeped from her forehead into her eyes was blood. The wounds all over her body open their mouths as she moves, the sharp wind rubbing hot chilli-paste into them. Creeping close to the stable walls, hiding from the light and the spirits that guard it, the hag inched forward, slouching.

![]() It might be better if you at least had to worry about safely repositioning yourself after parry knockback, but the range ensures that you can keep mashing forward and remain safe.īut then what I really don't get is the massive difficulty spike for her bosses. It feels like it goes against everything the game is trying to teach you about avoiding damage, and if new players start here they'll get into awful habits. And if you do need them, infinite Bat revives are pretty damn silly, especially since you can use staircase iframes to transform back for free. You can ignore Bat Form and just play her like Cadence with a Cutlass, since Bat revives only happen when Cadence would've died anyway. ![]() Nocturna was intended to be on the easier side, but I don't like how she just feels like Cadence+. Well, I didn't! What use are replays if they never work when you need them?! This time, it shows that I died in the Conductor fight. On a related note, is it really too much to ask someone to finally fix the replay bugs? Every time I want to record a replay lately, it ends up bugged at some point. Well, sure, you can say I got a superlucky seed (ring of healing, crown of thorns, obsidian armor, greaves, 10 hearts, plus a potion in zone 5 to top it all), but if I played as awfully with any other character, I'd probably never get past zone 2 or 3. All of this without even getting low on health. On my way to victory, I got cornered by a pack of 5 or 6 enemies in zone 4 with sunglasses on, stood there for a dozen beats just bashing against someone's shield, managed to take some hits by moving, then just bombed my way out. Actually, I still have no clue what exactly am I supposed to do to beat Frankensteinway "properly", but I killed him 3 times in my first Amplified evening, and I only had to train a bit to figure out the Conductor's second stage (yeah, I'm so dumb today that I didn't understand what "drain the batteries" meant). For some reason, It also doesn't lose coin multiplier by walking into walls (despite being unable to dig).Įxcept for the new bosses, you don't even have to try too hard to win with a character like this. Bat form gives free healing and free crate/barrel destruction. Not only is her weapon long, it also makes her virtually invulnerable as long as she keeps attacking (no matter how many enemies she's facing from every side, she can even "parry" a dragon). When playing Cadence, I'm happy when I manage to get one early on. It was fun, but I really wonder, is she intended to feel like every cheater's dream combined?

That makes them a threat anytime they are near. If stepped on, stingrays go into defense mode using their barbs for safety. Many stingrays could be hiding in the shallow water. That’s why it’s important to shuffle your feet on warm beaches. While manta rays may be bigger, stingrays are more aggressive. If proven, they’ll join dolphins and apes as animals with the ability to become self-aware. ![]() Scientists are currently studying the manta ray’s potential for self-awareness. They are among only three animals that could have self-awareness. Like elephants, manta rays have enormous brains. They are a bunch of playful and curious geniuses. But that’s not the only thing big about manta rays. They have a wingspan that can measure up to 29 feet long. The Giant Oceanic Manta Rays are the largest of the species. MANTA RAYS ARE MUCH LARGER AND SMARTER WHILE STINGRAYS ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE. They are responsible for more human casualties than any other Amazonian species. It grows to about eighteen inches across.ĭon’t let their small size fool you. ![]() The freshwater stingray lives in the Amazon. Although, only stingrays can also live in freshwater. Manta rays and stingrays live all across the ocean in warm regions. STINGRAYS LIVE IN BOTH MARINE AND FRESHWATER ENVIRONMENTS. Because of this, they can sense the electrical currents of their prey buried in the sand.Ĥ. The most amazing feature of their sense is that it doesn’t involve using their eyes, ears, or nose. Stingrays use this current to find their prey. They are masters of picking up tiny electrical pulses in the water by the ocean floor.Įvery time a small animal like a shrimp or small fish moves, they give off a tiny electrical current. No small animals are safe from a stingray’s electromagnetic sense. Like sharks, stingrays use electricity to find their prey. With their mouth on the bottom of their body, they’re able to eat prey they come across on the ocean floor.ģ. They camouflage themselves from their prey. Stingrays hunt by covering themselves in the sand on the ocean floor. They’re known to eat clams, sea worms, small fish, shrimp, and squid. Their graceful pectoral fins guide them as they glide through the water. Manta rays swim as if they’re flying through the sea. Despite their enormous size, they only feed on tiny organisms and not fish. With a mouth located underneath their body, m anta rays use their gill rakers to filter out zooplankton from the water. Although, manta rays have very few predators. ![]() Manta rays use their size and speed to escape harmful predators. You may be wondering how they protect themselves. That means that manta rays can’t sting you or anybody for that matter. Manta rays have long tails like stingrays. Instead, their barbs are a defense mechanism used when threatened by predators. It’s important to understand that stingrays don’t use their barbs to hunt. The venom in a stingray’s barb is lethal enough to kill humans. They may look alike to the casual observer, but they are very different.ĭepending on the type of stingray, the barb may have serrated edges and venom. The most significant difference between these animals is their tails. Read on to discover the differences between manta rays and stingrays. Nonetheless, they have many distinct differences. That is because they come from the same species. These two creatures look similar at first glance. Unfortunately, they often get mixed up with the stingray.

The best wind generators are usually the most expensive, but when you are looking at the lower cost models, remember to add in the cost of wiring, mounting hardware, remote monitoring stations and installation, should you choose not to do the work yourself. While you may spend a small fortune on a wind generator that has all of these features and more, you can also opt for more budget friendly models, readily available from Amazon, Home Depot and other on-line retailers.
