Think Point
... a Legendary Spear, revealed once plunged deep within the mind's eye!
Legend of the "Tythi Ikirik"
A spear that is a legend that exists within one's own mind. Crafted of legendary icy materials, the "Thinking Spear" is a rapid weapon that appears and disappears at the owner's will. There have not been many made, as it requires an incredible amount of Psyche & Power to wield, as well as create; the resources are also incredibly valuable. In the hands of martial artist, this weapon leaves a thrusting impact on their legacy as a warrior.
Folk Lore in regards to the weapon suggests that it travels between worlds, and that the sash tied around the pole is connected to those Worlds, but none have seen any version of the "Thinking" style of weaponry since the Mythic Epoch's Green Zone Age.
One of the fabled weapons of the Myst Folk regards the tale of a nameless contemplative that wandered into the Misty Mountains. He was nearing the beginning of his Falc Idros, or the end of his current life span. Unsure that he'd die or become a Giant Folk, the lost warrior honed his skills in the mountains, and when he returned, he brought with him "Tythi Ikirik", or Think Point. Though he returned a Giant Folk, none could force him from his right to rule, and he became a leader amongst the Myst Folk Clans.
That weapon was never seen by anyone, but it was felt by his enemies. During the Mystomythian Conflicts, his legacy was written in mists and bloodied snow, as he rose a warrior amongst his clans. In one hand, he was known as one of the Gi-Broa; a Giant Folk Mariner, rowers who wield a Large Mystic Oar, an enchanted lantern, and Icing Silk sashes. His name was Magnai Sootsei, a legendary warrior amongst the Myst & Giant Folk. The "-sei" name innovated the original Falc'ed glyph for "Thinker" or "Guru" and was added onto titles to express their abilty to lead and teach others to follow or lead as well.
The Ice Cores which recount his legendary fables were shattered during the Dracadian Age, when evidence of Draconic aggressions against the Mythos Folk (among countless other species) was under judgement. Espionage attempts by Draconians on sacred relics were the reason the Legend of the Sei-Batashi were scattered or outright destroyed.
What Mythologians understand of the tales includes Magnai's journey across ancient seas to wield the Tythi Ikirik in the name of the Myst Folk conquest of Southern- central Ad-Anasia: Supercontinent and the expanding Majas Polas region. He became the first of the Atar-sei, or "Ruler-Thinkers", and was given access to countless records of the Myth Folk's Ice Core collection. During his time as the "Atar-sei", he was said to bring in a mild era of peace and content for both the Mythos Folk, as leadership outside of the Divine might of the ascendant ancestors, Onagi of the Mysts & Vavaya of the Myths, had scarcely been behind the Mythos Folk in the Mythos Epoch Timeline.
Challengers to the "Atar-sei" were taught the lessons of his "Think Point", and instructed invaluable new manners. Assassins were left buried in dark fissures, with shards of Blue Ice within their skulls. Once he had begun to control the MystomythianConflicts of the Ice Age, the Myth Folk came to respect him as a ruler, and built great structures in his name. His cruelties were a symptom of the weakening condition of the natural decline of ancient Giant Folk towards madness. Though relationships wouldn't last between them, Magnai Sootsei the Ruler-Thinker and Slayer-Hero, whose mind was his greatest weapon, would leave the Thinking Spear in the hands of his descendants, the Magnai'sei Clan.

A "Micro-Unit" is denoted with a "Um" in measurements and is the size of an index finger bone. 10 Micro-Units make 1 Un. To measure weight, Unit Burden is calculated relative to the weight of an adult fist. Total Units are measured using decimals.

Author's Notes
Well, I had hoped to write atleast 12 Articles before the deadline, but it seems my progress shall be halted at 10. I may be able to squeeze a few more in, but I was able to answer many of the prompts before Saturday. I'm dense sometimes LOL! I thought I had until the end of the mont! : O I'll be more vigilant in the future.
Ad interim, allow me a moment reflection: I just finished the Ice Age layout during the middle part of the month and established some decent templates. I need to edit them, as per usual, but the tweaking will stream-line the entire process as I continue to innovate & practice.
To conclude this Epic Saga, the "Curio of Curiousities- Ice Age" edition with a thought, as I'm sure the "Atar-sei" would agree,
"I know nothing. Therefore, I'm a perfect student." ^^ ~anonymous
Solid advice; don't act like you know everything; everything can be taught and improved upon.
I hope your Curios Challenge 24' was fruitful! : D I'm certainly looking forward to the Badge and I love having the Prompt responses descriptor included in the bottom! I want to shoot for more of those on my Articles in the future! Be well!
