"About Holly smashing the jewels on the stone golem's heads: that is probably taken from the giant sand golem monsters in Final Fantasy IX where the creatures come with jewels in their torsos and cannot be properly defeated unless the jewel's HP is obliterated. Otherwise the Golem is temporarily incapacitated but not destroyed. Considering how there are 'Mages' in this suethor's canon instead of wizards/witches/magicians, it's highly likely she's been thieving from the FF series for some time as Mages are a large staple of the games. Granted it's just a title but since JK seldom used that word (if at all) methinks the suethor is using this as a chance to load whatever suepah powah she wants on it and bestow it on her wretched avatar so that it sounds 'official'."

That makes sense. I've never played Final Fantasy, but it really did sound like she was describing a video game instead of actual mythology.

Ha ha, scream all you want. The fic does that to people. It's only two more chapters, so just a little bit longer!

Thank you so much!
