I want it to be Erin waking up. Voidy’s had his say; I doubt there’s a Second Phase bossfight prepared here. And after what happened yesterday, Erin and Tess have a lot to “discuss” — with the two of them alone, we get an unprecedented window into all the backstory stuff they’re hiding!
The lightning effects are beautiful. Also Tess seems surprised that Erin is able to move at all. He must have been an even sicker child than I thought.
Erin: Nobody help me. I’ll pass out on my own!
Tess: (sigh) If only Falst was here to hear that.
The seal commands are a success! Guess you don’t need complicated rune-work if you just want the magic to stop. Makes me wonder how Tess or other people dealt with Erin’s overchannel in the past, before Tess was chosen by the sky. Did his room and others in the Ruunaser residence have this spell already engraved on the ceilings in case? Did Tess have to draw the circles by hand each time?
I was afraid for a moment that this is V.D. trying another trick, but then I remembered Erin’s SFX can also be purple and V.D. has no subtlety. This is Erin waking up, and I’m genuinely curious what his mood is, but I doubt it’s anything good. His grand boat plan has sunk, they’re stranded on a volcanic island, 2/3rds of the gang is MIA, his sealing tattoos are damaged, and he’s had to be saved by his sister again in what could be a painful reminder of her past role to him.
Welcome back Erin! We missed you.

I honestly have nothing else to say. Just wanted to comment. It looks like there are no comments but it is past the uploading time by an hour or so.

Anyways, so, uh, what’s up? I’m visiting my grandparents because it’s Ramadanfest! And my exams are over. Got 100 in physics! And 65 in Literature… That’s all! ❤️
I’ve been trying to figure out basically since Tess was introduced if the lighter spots on her eyes were pupils, or just reflections, but that last panel is definitely white pupils in white eyes, isn’t it?
ask on tumblr:
Are the mini circles in Tess’s eyes pupils or caused by the light bouncing off the metal?
response:
Watsonian: light reflecting off her Silvery Orbs
Doylist: convenient for me to draw them in the direction she’s looking for clarity of expression
For mobile readers.
Alt-text: yes I may not have my magic but are you prepared for THESE HANDS? *flails gently*

tumblr text: how it feels when my alarm goes off
Bluesky text: naptime is over! the time for character development is now!
Erin’s back!
Mayday, mayday!! That’s not Erin! The text of the sound effect is purple, I think the Void dragon was just playing dead to lure her in
SFX colours change constantly. Even if the dragon IS still in control, the sound effect being purple isnt necessarily evidence of that.
Doesn’t the color of the sound effects and speech bubbles depend on the character?
Welcome back Erin. Was the nap rejuvenating?
Wally being difficult or Erin having woken up in time for some sibling heart to heart, place your bets
We didn’t see his eyes at the end of the last page…

But this is Aurora, and it does love Second Wave Bossfights…
If the rainbow-void stuff Dainix made is sentient, we should call it Wally.

Awhh, the boi!

Very curious to see whether that’s Erin objecting to being cared for or whether the Void Dragon is still being stubborn.
I’m actually hoping it IS the Void Dragon. Idk if I’m ready for heavy Erin angst tbh
Aurora Question #42: What is the answer to the ultimate question?
42
42
Jesus.
What is the question to the ultimate answer??
42. What else?
He done a *flop*
I love Tess… she’s such a sister!
Man I really hope Tess doesn’t let Erin off the hook about the Boat Meltdown
Only in this comic would I have to ask WHICH boat meltdown
No voidfire in that last panel, so I think this is 100% genuine Erin pissyness
@Eviltree is right, Erin’s SFX can and have been purple. This is probably Erin waking up, not the dragon faking her out.
The condition of Tess’s arm is.. shocking. Being made of metal, I would not have expected such cracking. Did she have that before?
Yes, that’s a scar she got from the lightning strike that gave her her Spark and her magic.
Yep! Her scar’s been there since we met her.
TL;DR: I’m out…. Not.
i’m really hoping this is void dragon, void dragon having to team up with tess would be very, very funny.
Erin smacking his sister as she wakes him up is a classic sibling move. Looking forward to more sibling interactions with these two 🙂

It’s a trap!!!
It’s probably been said before, but wow is this comic underrated, go Red!
