Line 158:
** Specifically, Aaronev Sturmvoraus and his dying daughter, though certainly said by others in this world.
* [[My Instincts Are Showing]]: Krosp I, Emperor of All Cats -- basically, a cat with human-level intelligence, speech, thumbs, and the ability to walk erect... he'd like to claim that his "cat-instincts" have no hold over him, but Agatha rather enjoys proving otherwise using a piece of string.
* [[Myth Arc]]: One of the best webcomic examples.
*
** Another one is Ancient [[God-Emperor|God-Queens]] and [[Portal Network]] of "Queen's Mirrors".
*** The two greater arcs are now linked, once Albia positively identified (she does see minds) the killer of Nyx and others as someone who is supposed to be much younger than that, and as such presumed to be a time traveller.▼
*** At least one adventure of Heterodyne Boys involved a friendly "[[High Priestess]]". About two centuries ago Andronicus "the Storm King" Valois and some of still-living Jägers met a High Priestess of Nyx. Albia of England mentioned Nyx as a "Sister Queen" (most likely older) killed almost five millennia ago. The official costume of Lady Astarte, Albia's "High Caretaker of the Sacred Well" very obviously resembles that of a "High Priestess" depicted in Heterodyne stories.
*** The first Heterodyne found a small spring dedicated to a "warrior goddess". Dyne water can be used to temporarily induce the same state in which Albia implied to remain constantly, and to make Jägerdraught that makes people ageless among the other things (if they survive). Mechanicsburg had a "Queen's Mirror" device they all used...
*** According to the legend, Skifander was colonized via Queen's Mirror that was already there. Albia also personally knew Luheia, Zeetha's ancestress (who sacrificed herself to take out a presumably equal enemy). Then there are Geisterdamen who know of Skifander, wear trinket somewhat resembling that of Skifandrian amazons and wanted their goddess back. And some strange people in England who got some secret grudge against Skifander.
*** Oh, and Albia searches for the other Queens (she found one alive, plus descendant of another). And there's Embi, a guy who looks too well for his age of over 130, which he claims is a result of his sacred vow "to see the world before he died".
