“When the last eagle flies
Over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars
At the last dusty fountain…”
It is really not a good day when you prove villain’s point for them. Specifically, Tynan’s point that laws are pretty bows that we put on brute force and coercion.
“I have not yet lost control” says the Arenamaster, standing in a thunderstorm like an idiot with a spear and pointing it at the people who just BROKE OPEN a MOUNTAIN
(I mean, said person is currently kinda semi-conscious, but Falst is a badass who just defeated at least 5 guards with more common sense than the Arenamaster, so if I were him I would just run)
Arenamaster is brandishing a spear at two people who just destroyed his prison mountain, meanwhile there’s a fight against a storm God who wants to destroy the city. You should learn to pick your fights better, Arena master.
Falst is not looking in the least bit concerned. I think even in this disadvantageous position he can grab or deflect the spear without much trouble, due to his own advantages in speed and strength.
Then Falst, raging, yelled at the prisoners to move,
They began to climb through the hole.
His spear rising wildly, the Arenamaster yells,
“But I have not yet lost control!”
I like how Dainix’s former opponent is ready to catch that person on the ledge.
If Dainix gets to be the one to take this asshole out, that would be some beautiful revenge; but Falst (or maybe Alinua if she’s got it in her) decking him would be quite satisfying too.
I was like ‘Wow the nice weather line is hilarious, they can’t top that’ but then later just this page I get proven wrong with the sure hope you don’t put us in prison line.
…Er, to quote The Owl House “ I am not one to be trifled with, bees[t]. I am a[n emissary]… unhinged!”
He even has the hair streak!
Also, Falst’s sarcasm is incredible, thanks Red :-).
And one final point…
HAPPY THIRD AURORA-VERSARY!
@veggiesnake: I didn’t see it on the previous pages, but yes, it’s much clearer here :-D.
(Though granted, given the beatdowns Falst’s been delivering tonight, the amusing question arises: is he shaking cuz he’s scared (… of this?) or is he shaking cuz he’s soaked through and cold)
Falst could simply pull a kendal and snap the blade of the end of that spear.
but I think that crowd of prisoners around them won’t be too keen on simply standing by as the arena master draws a spear on somebody.
bare in mind that a few of those prisoners are probably a little upset about being left to die by the arena master.
I really like the detail that while the arena master is yelling about rebellion and maintaining order, we can see two guards in the fourth panel helping prisoners get out of the death trap and to higher ground.
I’m wondering who the second shadow is, though. June, maybe? Or maybe the first shadow is Tahraim and the second is Caliban, but I’m not sure how that would pan out.
“My god has deserted me.”? You’re one to talk! You were going to just leave the city while your prisoners AND guards are left to drown in your death trap! Zuurith at least had the courtesy of confronting Tynan the moment he appeared before going poof; and not because he’d run away, but because Tynan disintegrated his incarnation with lightning.
Falst and whoever is ominously standing behind the Arenamaster, please humiliate this egotistical maniac!
Those two shadows behind the Arena Master in the last panel… the hair is tied back, not loose. Are… are those Caliban and Tahraim?
Also, props to the teamwork going on in the background of the prison evacuation, and good for the guards visible who are helping prisoners out instead of listening to the dingus.
Dainix should be done with therapy right about now. I wonder if he’ll appear for a polite chat with the man who tormented him for the past couple of years.
My guy, you’re screaming at a dude who just kicked like five dude’s asses, can avoid “Rocks fall, everyone dies” WHILE CARRYING SOMEONE who is now giving you calm snark, all the while brandishing a SPEAR in the midst of a SENTIENT HURRICANE.
Control is NOT something you have ANY of, right now.
@average aurora enjoyer: *dying of laughter* your comment is even better bc the “clack” is prob him moving it round, but you could also take it as hitting an invisible wall- the plot armor in question
@GlytchMeister: “can avoid ‘rocks fall everyone dies'” LMAO he really just did and I love it.
Also I love panels 5&6. the Arenamaster’s expression, just the right amount of unhinged, and some quality dialogue to top it off. The hug thing going on in panel 6 is the cutest, I love it so much, Falst is so protective <3
I like the fact that the prisoners, given the chance to escape and flee a soon-to-be-flooding city, slow down to help each other get out, rather than just make a mad break for the exit.
Its a nice show that the people incarcerated there aren’t the vile and villainous that you’d expect to require such a prison, but just people that don’t conform.
no way in the last panel there’s a small background figure with floofy white hair who i think was the person who was carrying the child/small being and now they are also helping everyone else that warms my heart
he angy
I’m surprised he’s actually willing to do things himself. Really doesn’t seem like the type to get his hands dirty.

does anyone else see the steadily increasing fiery glow around my favourite arena jerk, maybe we get some dainix action
uh-oh is gonna kill them
Doesn’t sound like someone who’s in (self)control
Lolllll what a well deserved breakdown
Really, Arenamaster? Really? … can this be called a villainous breakdown? I don’t think he deserves this much credit.
On a side note, it’s nice to see some of those guards in the prison helping the people evacuate.
Urging them to leave,
he then turns to face the man
who has lost it all.
(Bonus)
Eh, are you sure though?
Cuz it seems you have nothing,
not even control.
“I have not yet lost control” says the Arenamaster, standing in a thunderstorm like an idiot with a spear and pointing it at the people who just BROKE OPEN a MOUNTAIN
(I mean, said person is currently kinda semi-conscious, but Falst is a badass who just defeated at least 5 guards with more common sense than the Arenamaster, so if I were him I would just run)
Plus that look on Alinua’s face tho, I think the Arenamaster is gonna get a lesson in “control”
Arenamaster is brandishing a spear at two people who just destroyed his prison mountain, meanwhile there’s a fight against a storm God who wants to destroy the city. You should learn to pick your fights better, Arena master.
Falst is not looking in the least bit concerned. I think even in this disadvantageous position he can grab or deflect the spear without much trouble, due to his own advantages in speed and strength.
Sure, dude looks totally in control and not like Falst’s gonna break that spear like a toothpick
um, yes, Dainix? that’s your cue, sweetie!
I have a feeling alinua is gonna do something.
quite some choice of words, arenamaster
Read the room guy
bwahaha that alt text
TL;DR: For goodness’s sake, let the heroes fo the hero-ing uninterrupted for once. I guess that isn’t exciting though, is it?
also, those snowflakes are only getting more solid; we now have plenty of fully formed little white specks floating around
Then Falst, raging, yelled at the prisoners to move,
They began to climb through the hole.
His spear rising wildly, the Arenamaster yells,
“But I have not yet lost control!”
Huh… You don’t usually get them this suicidally arrogantly stupid outside of video games.
i think there is someone behind him in the last panel.
“oh man, are we under arrest? Sure hope you don’t put us in prison,”
hahahahahahahaha
Arena Master is about to get the 7 page muda.
“i have not yet lost control!!!!” sure jan
I feel like I’m noticing a very Dainix shaped shadow
I like how Dainix’s former opponent is ready to catch that person on the ledge.
If Dainix gets to be the one to take this asshole out, that would be some beautiful revenge; but Falst (or maybe Alinua if she’s got it in her) decking him would be quite satisfying too.
“He said, calmly” DYING
I was like ‘Wow the nice weather line is hilarious, they can’t top that’ but then later just this page I get proven wrong with the sure hope you don’t put us in prison line.
“They have something worse than whips here” -Interesting Times
Idk why this page made me think of that quote
Also, update on my birthday, yay!
I noticed Alinua is looking at Falst’s arm, not at his face nor at the Arenamaster
And I think Falst will make a difference very soon
I think it says a lot that the guards are helping the prisoners leave to safety. Also, Falst holding Alinua is so sweet ?
dainix ’bout to open a whole can of whoop on this mf
Sure they just saved countless of lives, but they ruined his previous “order”.
Man fuck the arena master.
…Er, to quote The Owl House “ I am not one to be trifled with, bees[t]. I am a[n emissary]… unhinged!”
He even has the hair streak!

@veggiesnake: I didn’t see it on the previous pages, but yes, it’s much clearer here :-D.
@Konnash It’s cuz Falst is actually shaking
(Though granted, given the beatdowns Falst’s been delivering tonight, the amusing question arises: is he shaking cuz he’s scared (… of this?) or is he shaking cuz he’s soaked through and cold)
Falst could simply pull a kendal and snap the blade of the end of that spear.
but I think that crowd of prisoners around them won’t be too keen on simply standing by as the arena master draws a spear on somebody.
bare in mind that a few of those prisoners are probably a little upset about being left to die by the arena master.
Getting real, “I don’t have anger issues and will murder anyone who says otherwise,” vibes from that last panel.
I really like the detail that while the arena master is yelling about rebellion and maintaining order, we can see two guards in the fourth panel helping prisoners get out of the death trap and to higher ground.
“FALSTDIDYOUPUTTHATTREEINTHEPRISONOFFIRE?” the Arenamaster said calmly.
IS THAT THE SILHOUETTE OF OUR BOY DAINIX IN THE LAST PANEL?!
Yeah this guy seems sane
alt text: he said, calmly
@Hermit Trush: Thank you, you‘re a hero
Am I completely bonkers or is Falst’s arm slightly glowing?
Guys the Aurora webcomic anniversary was yesterday!!!
(And so was my birthday what do you know)
Hoping one of the guards in the prison will be the one to stop him. Like “Hey, you were gonna let ALL of us die, weren’t you? “
Hehe all the focus on the end but me, I just love panel 2. XD
There are people behind him. I hope that they are people who have just escaped and will help Fluffy hair and Kitty Boi
I dunno, he kinda looks like he has lost control
Seems like that guy could use one of Tahraim’s therapy sessions.
Falst’s upper arm is def broken, how many bones must one man break 🙁
Man really do care about that prison to the point the principles don’t matter
@Sunstorm the Budgie
He’s sure gonna try. I think Falst might be a little too protagonisty for a nameless spear-mook to pull it off, though.
@Rainbow demon
I think Alinua is probably too tired and drained after making that tree to be helping soon. She looks beat.
I hope one of those shadowy figures in the background gives this guy a proper klonk in the back of the head
I’m wondering who the second shadow is, though. June, maybe? Or maybe the first shadow is Tahraim and the second is Caliban, but I’m not sure how that would pan out.
“My god has deserted me.”? You’re one to talk! You were going to just leave the city while your prisoners AND guards are left to drown in your death trap! Zuurith at least had the courtesy of confronting Tynan the moment he appeared before going poof; and not because he’d run away, but because Tynan disintegrated his incarnation with lightning.
Falst and whoever is ominously standing behind the Arenamaster, please humiliate this egotistical maniac!
The “Clack” sound effect in the 4th panel is the spear hitting Falst’s plot armor
Those two shadows behind the Arena Master in the last panel… the hair is tied back, not loose. Are… are those Caliban and Tahraim?
Also, props to the teamwork going on in the background of the prison evacuation, and good for the guards visible who are helping prisoners out instead of listening to the dingus.
He said calmly… The extra remarks are a gift that just keep on giving 🙂
Big man thinks he’s still in control. Oh boy…
Solid last words, if nothing else.
Wow a violent obsession with order, wonder where he learned THAT from.
“BUT I HAVE NOT YET LOST CONTROL,” the arenamaster said calmly.
Dainix should be done with therapy right about now. I wonder if he’ll appear for a polite chat with the man who tormented him for the past couple of years.
“Foment” someone’s been reading their Vocabulary calender.
Not yet lost control?

Nah pretty sure that guys lost control, look at him thats a crazy man whose lost everything
that is not fair, fyour god didn’t have much say in his desertion
“i have not yet lost control” he says, as his guards help the prisoners escape the prison to higher ground.
literaly kendal with a beard in panel 3
I think the silhouettes in the last panel look like Caliban and Tahraim.
I’m starting to suspect he’s lost control
“I have not yet lost control” he yelled as he lost the last drop of control he had.
OHHH This page is BEAUTIFUL
I think this is the 500th page.
no way in the last panel there’s a small background figure with floofy white hair who i think was the person who was carrying the child/small being and now they are also helping everyone else that warms my heart
