House of Blades
- Simon fights off several dozen trained Damascus Travelers, by himself. Literally everyone assumed he was dead until he showed up in Enosh none the worse for wear.
Crimson Vault
- When the Eldest explains that they're following the Valinhall Incarnation because he's basically the only choice, Simon suggests an alternative: Himself. This shocks everyone to silence, and it takes a minute for the Eldest to gather himself.Eldest: You have no chance, son of Kalman. I am sorry. I like you, but you would have to win Valin's sword. And I simply do not see that in your future.
Simon: I don't know if I've ever told you this, but I don't believe in prophecy. - Simon killing the Valinhall Incarnation with the Ragnarus blade.
- Alin finally fulfilling the prophecy by opening the Gates of Elysia, calling in an entire army to save the village of Myria, and personally killing the Naraka Incarnation. Too bad about the cost...
City of Light
- Kai deliberately Incarnates, which distracts the current Valinhall Incarnation long enough to get shoved through the Gate, trapping him in the Territory.
