“Oh,” Dainix cries, seeing that its only Falst,
And encourages him to get the rest or healing that’s due.
Harshly rebuffed, he nervously asks
The Ferin, “Did I… hurt you?”
Erm, getting some weird glitches. My Webcomics feed went back to Page 1-14-29 being considered most recent, and I couldn’t access this page without clicking on newest page from that page. The last page can’t seem to link here. Not sure what’s up. Also, I seem to have missed the last few updates for these reasons. Just realized I missed them. Not sure what’s going on.
Wait, what? How is the new page here already? I’m one of the first people to get here instead of the last??
Falst is doing the classic edgy loner thing of walking up to someone to initiate a conversation with them, before going off to brood in a distant, yet still visible location five seconds later. Red was probably thinking “I’ve gotta incorporate that maneuver into Falst’s interactions somehow” while storyboarding this chapter.
That is a massive head on Dainix’s spear, distally speaking. That thing is so thick, it could almost be a pole mace. Good thing Dainix is mega twunk material, because that is a spear for the stronk.
Hey people of the fandom I’m making a Aurora as vines thing and I have a large list already but if any of you know any good vines that relate to the comic and it’s characters bring them to me now and I’ll do my best to put them in.
awwwww, Dainix. you are very quickly becoming my favourite floofy boi, and not just because you can
and it seems to be what i suggested a few pages back; Falst hasn’t taken to Dainix because of the whole gladatorial blood sport. i mean, Dainix was a prisoner as much as anyone else, so i’m not sure if that’s really his fault.
@Question Master
pretty neutral i suppose; i like them as much as any other race (although i can’t lie, metal caste is a cut above on the cool factor). but i do feel sympathetic towards Ferin, over the whole systemic racism thing. Falst is definitely giving us a good impression of Ferin though (i love him), so i’m interested to see more types in the future, maybe some that actually earn their sinister reputation
in other news, i have a new theory! in like many others, am a total Shrike fan, and until recently i had thought that she wouldn’t be returning to the main story. but now i see how it could happen:
Shrike’s character page was recently updated to “Bounty hunter who formerly freelanced finding gladiators for Zuurith’s Arena”. now that Zuurith is going under a ‘grand designs extreme makeover’ there’s much less work for her, but it’s not like she’s going to retrain, she just needs to find a new job. ENTER: JUNE. i imagine that, even if the Champion is nearby, the Paladins are going to need a while to regroup and recuperate following the decimation of Zuurith. but I doubt they’ll sit idle either. they’ll be communicating with other sects of the Paladin, preparing to hunt the Void Avatar, and they’ll want to keep an eye on the Floof Squad. the most logical thing to do right now is hire some sort of bounty hunter with expertise in tracking who’s close at hand and morally gray enough to take a contract from a cult; sounds like Shrike, right?
@TheUnknownGame in panels 1 & 2? i think that’s just the perspective making the spearhead look big, although looking at the character page, maybe you’re right. it looks to be about the same size as Dainix’ hand
Finally, a Falst and Dainix heart to heart
@Question Master I find them pretty cool. Animal like humanoids are in general some of my favourite types of fantasy creatures. Tho I’m curious how Red is gonna handel power scaling between Falst and the rest if the floof gang as now he seems a little underpowered in comparison. He wasn’t much help in the Tynan fight
THE BOIS AAAAAA also I feel like Falst at this moment is internally like “YOU AREN’T FOLLOWING THE SCRIPT I WROTE IN MY HEAD 20MIN AGO DUDE STOP BEING SENSITIVE TO MY FEELINGS IT’S OUT OF CHARACTER THE WAY I WROTE YOU OK”
@storylineobsessed
I have a few! I only finished one (and put it up on my channel, let me know if you want my ver or just the vine) but I had a few good ideas.
Enter Vine Master’s Shop?
>Yes No
Are you here to buy or sell?
Sell >Buy
Here is what I have to offer.
The souls of the innocent bagel vine: Alinua, Erin, Void Dragon (I finished animating this one)
Loogit all those chickens: Tynan, surveying the crumbing city of Zuurith
Try and pull me over now cop: Tynan @ Vash
Can I please get a waffle: Zuurith @ the city at large as well as the crew fighting tynan, desperately trying to get the attention back to him
“Let me see what you have” “A KNIFE” “NO” vine: Alinua @ Kendal about to stab himself
Omg they were roommates: One of the crew (about kendal and dainix being cellmates) and then void dragon inside of Erin’s head just like “omg they were cEllmAtEs”
As you can see, I have quite the extensive collection.
(I hope some of these are new and not repeats of things you already have :3)
Wait, Falst has been going around with injuries this whole time?! Thank goodness Dainix is there to tell him that’s a bad idea. Dainix speaks for the audience, praise be!
Falst’s expression in the last panel means:
A) He is surprised that Dainix is expressing concern for possibly hurting him
B) The last tiny thread of his temper has just gently snapped and he’s about to give Dainix a piece of his mind large enough to choke on.
It’s a bit hypocritical of Falst to get angry with Dainix on Kendal’s behalf, considering the way Falst himself joined the party. Bit of trivia: Did you know that Falst has gotten the single loudest fear/pain reaction out of Kendal? Most of the time, Kendal just grunts and walks it off, but when Falst made him fall out of that tree, he full-on screamed. I wonder if Kendal has a hidden fear of falling, and if so, what caused it.
There once was a disgruntled Ferin,
Who was not as trusting as Erin.
The warrior of fire
Is confused by his ire
And worried their relationship is barren.
I feel like there’s a non-zero chance that the boys are about to stop chatting and start fighting. Dainix didn’t hurt Falst, but he did hurt Kendal and Falst sees that as infinitely worse.
Wait a minute, Alinua isn’t the only healer on the team! Erin’s not doing anything right now except angsting to his sister! He could easily heal him!
Then again, I think Falst would rather die than ask Erin for help.
Karadaga- I thought ‘crustables’ stood for crusty characters i.e. not very social adept people who are trying to explain their world view to people who don’t understand them (with suspicion and hostility) i.e. an excuse for writer to explain why this character is hanging around to ‘the new guy’ and us, the audience, Which is what I hope Falst will do Friday. Either that or Falst will tell Dainix to buzz off or just hops out of sight. But I hope not! Or both? Stay tuned for Friday!
storylineobsessed:
The Champion: “Hey there, demons, it’s me. Ya boi.”
The Collector, holding a picture of Kendal: “I saw you hanging out with Katelyn yesterday!”
Vash: “R- Rebecca, it’s not what you-”
The Collector: “I won’t hesitate, b*tch!” *slices Vash’s soul with her soulcrystal scalpel*
Alinua: “Johnny has 19 bottles of dish soap, and-”
Falst: *raises hand* “Wait, why does Johnny have so many soaps?”
Erin, with his absurdly humongous cape stash: “Mind your business, David!”
The Void Dragon: “Hey, how are you-”
Crucible Dainix: *crazed snarling*
The Void Dragon: *high-pitched scream* “Get your f*cking dog, b*tch!”
Kendal, calmly: “It don’t bite.”
The Void Dragon, panicking: “Yes it do, get it-”
The Light Dragon, about Erin: “He doesn’t deserve you. If he doesn’t treat you right by now, you’re gone.”
The junior archivist: “I’m gone.”
The Light Dragon: *nods approvingly* “Now go chop his d*ck off.”
Falst, naps induced via sleep powder does not count as rest; you’re sounding like Kendal.
Ok, as @Acevolts said, theres a good chance punches will be thrown, or at least voices raised. That might be a good thing actually to get Falst’s anger out; Dainix knows the importance of not burying emotions, especially now, so probably wants to help Falst with it.
@Question Master: I like Ferin, both as a species and the potential plot elements their existence brings up. Most of my Aurora theories have Ferin elements such as: the Ferin mage was a Paladin hoping to use this new race to eliminate Elemental Maguses and/or as an army; Life herself likes Ferin and her influence may be why they can breed true; Alinua grew up in a community with Ferin in it.
They, like the Light Dragon, don’t fit quite right into the world of Aurora and I find the potential reasons behind why to be very interesting.
@storylineobsessed
*Vash during chapter 10* Um- I just felt a random burst of energy, and I think it’s my body’s last “hurrah!” before it (he) completely shuts down-
(It appears my first comment was lost, sorry if this is a duplicate!) I’ve been waiting to share this one for so long :D, I hope you know the one because I couldn’t find it)
Evil Tree: Falst, take care of yourself. You’re starting to sound like Kendal.
Falst: …ouch. Why would you say something like that?
Kendal: What are you guys using me as a measuring stick for?
@storylineobessed
Here are a few; (characters listed in speaking order)
Do you ever want to talk about your emotions? Kendal, Falst, Dainix
Can I have a sip of that water? Erin, Falst
People ask how I get the wet look in my hair; Zurrith
I’m nuts about these nuts; Kendal, the floof squad
Y’all ugly; Caliban
Thankyou to everyone who has suggested vines! I’ll make sure to finish this project (It’s gonna be tedious and take a while, but I will!) And then I’ll most likely post it on YouTube and I’ll link it in the comments section of whatever page we’re up to. I’ll put ya’ll in the acknowledgements, because all of you have made some absolutely brilliant suggestions!

Tess: hey! How you doing- Erin: I’m doing just fine,-starts leaking void energy- I lied I’m dying inside! -progressively gets more worse and worse until VD possesses him entirely /
Kendal, staring into the black splosion in the wasteland: hey, what do you want to eat -VD, possessing Erin turns exorcist style towards kendal: ŢHƏ §ØÛŁ§ ØF ŢHƏ ĮŇŇØČƏŇŢ¡ Erin, snapping back: A bagel! VD: ŇØ¡ Erin: 2 bagels – cut to VD and Erin eating bagels /

DAINIX………
Aurora Question #5: What is your opinion on Ferin?
Simple: He’s the best
Do I sense some lancer shenanigans about to start. If so, excellent.
“Oh,” Dainix cries, seeing that its only Falst,
And encourages him to get the rest or healing that’s due.
Harshly rebuffed, he nervously asks
The Ferin, “Did I… hurt you?”
Erm, getting some weird glitches. My Webcomics feed went back to Page 1-14-29 being considered most recent, and I couldn’t access this page without clicking on newest page from that page.

Falst is doing the classic edgy loner thing of walking up to someone to initiate a conversation with them, before going off to brood in a distant, yet still visible location five seconds later. Red was probably thinking “I’ve gotta incorporate that maneuver into Falst’s interactions somehow” while storyboarding this chapter.
That is a massive head on Dainix’s spear, distally speaking. That thing is so thick, it could almost be a pole mace. Good thing Dainix is mega twunk material, because that is a spear for the stronk.
Can’t wait for fridayyy… what’s Falst gonna say?
@Question Master
Not sure. I like Falst, and I LOVE Trusk, so if all the others are like them then I’m cool with Ferin
Hey people of the fandom I’m making a Aurora as vines thing and I have a large list already but if any of you know any good vines that relate to the comic and it’s characters bring them to me now and I’ll do my best to put them in.
*sobbing profusely* the boysss
I love them sm your honor
Given that he’s survived arrow wounds, blunt force trauma and at least one fiery explosion, ‘heal fast’ is probably an understatement
awwwww, Dainix. you are very quickly becoming my favourite floofy boi, and not just because you can
and it seems to be what i suggested a few pages back; Falst hasn’t taken to Dainix because of the whole gladatorial blood sport. i mean, Dainix was a prisoner as much as anyone else, so i’m not sure if that’s really his fault.
@Question Master

shit i forgot to finish my Dainix thirst comment. “…not just because you can burst into an invulnerable bonfire of rage”
Falst surprises Dainix with his mood
Dainix slowly asks: “Did I hurt you?”
@Question Master
They’re pretty cool! I’d want to be one if they weren’t magically inert
@veggiesnake OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH I really hope you’re right (as a fellow Shrike fan)
Finally, a Falst and Dainix heart to heart
@Question Master I find them pretty cool. Animal like humanoids are in general some of my favourite types of fantasy creatures. Tho I’m curious how Red is gonna handel power scaling between Falst and the rest if the floof gang as now he seems a little underpowered in comparison. He wasn’t much help in the Tynan fight
Crustables incoming in 3, 2, 1…
(This is a joke I don’t actually ship it I just think the name is funny)
@veggiesnake
Yeah, I’ve had a similar hypothesis about Shrike
Okay someone tell me WHY their ship name is Crustables.
“it’s just you being a red head and me being a red head throws the team balance completely off”
@storylineobsessed The “Crus-” part came a sketch of him with the name “Crucible”. The “-stables” part, however …
Does not need to rest
Suspicious of this Ignan
Falst is well rested
did I maybe forget to sleep reading this
I mean yeah, but its sure worth it
@storylineobsessed
all i can think of its the ‘you are my dadddd! you’re my dad! boogie woogie woogie!’ for kendal @ vash kjnnjkljk
THE BOIS AAAAAA also I feel like Falst at this moment is internally like “YOU AREN’T FOLLOWING THE SCRIPT I WROTE IN MY HEAD 20MIN AGO DUDE STOP BEING SENSITIVE TO MY FEELINGS IT’S OUT OF CHARACTER THE WAY I WROTE YOU OK”

@Question Master I think that Ferin are cool.
I just wanted to say that the poetry in this comments section made me smile! Can we give some love to the talented poets here.
I feel like there’s a non-zero chance that the boys are about to stop chatting and start fighting. Dainix didn’t hurt Falst, but he did hurt Kendal and Falst sees that as infinitely worse.

Wiilcan’tsleep Yes! Kudos to all our here poets on the Comments section!
@Alleyyy
Thankyou! I only had one of those in my list (The knife one)
I’ll try and put those exact scenarios in, or variations of them
When he says he had a nice nap he isn’t talking about getting knocked out by Shrike and her hunters is he?
Right?
RIGHT???
Is that a practical way to hold a spear?
I don’t think i’ve seen someone hold it like that before is all…
is Falst being sarcastic when he says Dainix is perceptive?
Oh! I think Falst is mad that Dainix tried to hurt Kendal in the arena!
well falst isnt the only one telling the gang tips on self preservation anymore
Completely unrelated to this page, but am I the only one who thinks it’d be super sick if Erin got dragon wings?
TL;DR: Boys’ night out.
