Be wary of sky meat.

Cut the thread. Connecting them. Kind of like... puppets.

I've been wrong a ton in this series because of how much it twists and turns, but I'm pretty damn sure that's the mana from what was a powerful kitsune. Mana so powerful it maintained consciousness. Deception and illusion are the stock and trade of the kitsune and that's exactly the weapon the Puppetmancer is using against them.

"Release the rest?" All I can say is if he's talking about his puppets... Oh, crap.

Be weary of sky meat.

[Xindaris]

Yes...my pedantry reflex tripped on this too. Might be that's intended, or might be it's supposed to be "wary".

You know, now that you mentioned this, the thought came across my mind that this tree being "deadly to touch" sounds an awful lot like the mythology surrounding the stone prison of Tamamo-no-Mae and how touching that meant death.

This might well be this universe's Tamamo-no-Mae and it ain't no myth in universe.
