I love the initial design, it just felt so ancient, primordial and beyond comprehension, but still beautiful none the less. Just the slits of the eyes here gives me vibes more like The Hunter from Hollow Knight, an embodiment of primal instincts and the urge to stalk and kill.
i mean, you kind of said it. she/they ARE simultaneously cool, awe-inspiring, and terrifying, and i love it. but i also feel like there’s a lot more to her; if she chose Alinua as her vessel, we can assume that she shares much of Alinua’s characteristics. i would guess Life is somehow maternal and protective, yet also child-like and full of wonder, and i’m always interested in seeing more of her
I love Life primordial so much. She’s clearly as protective of the gang as Alinua, but still tries to help her vessel learn and grow (like when she didn’t help her break open the prision). She believes in her elf vessel-daughter more than almost anyone, and seems like she could be a good maternal figure. I can see a dream talk sequence being a great Alinua therapy session. But also, design wise, amazing, 10/10, so many eyes without being spider like, and just great texture. Of course, props to Red for such a great character design.
Love her design and am hopeful of her being with the gang, although I do have some doubts. On one hand she does give one word advice to Alinua, helped them during the Jolon fiasco, and has show with Gleicann she can be talked to and reasoned with. On the other hand much of her agenda, if she has one, is unknown, she refused to help with the prison break for unknown reasons, and was seemingly ok with causing multiple chimeric plague events until she got to Alinua.
I do think Life is on their side, but until we get proper communication from her I can’t be certain.
While this is my own interpenetration, Life woke up again some 200 years ago because of the collector rediscovering a rune that fully encompassed her. Imagine waking up again and trying to move, but being tied by millions of tiny threads. The Chimeric plagues didn’t seem intentional but more like a bi product of being awake and strewn across/incorporated into millions of other beings.
Kendal gets a dream sequence, Alinua gets a dream sequence, and Falst is getting back to harsh reality.
I’ve been wanting to get back to the boys yes, but that dream/vision Alinua is getting of/from Life looks interesting. Life’s exact movies and opinions of the gang, even her own chosen one, are nebulous at best; what she does or doesn’t do in a dream sequence with Alinua could reveal a lot.
Those cables are not moving from the ground so it’s safe to say that robot is defeated and no other robots are around, for the moment. From the chapter cover I predict that he will be holding the light for the two of them while Dainix defends and works; makes sense given his broken arm.
Wait a second… Where is Dainix! Please please please don’t tell me he was separated from Falst.
I feel those two will need to team up in order to escape.
If I had to guess, he’s probably just out of frame due to it being a pretty close up shot. I kind of doubt they’d be separated already, since they were pulled in together, so fear not!
Hello, darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again.
Because a primordial softly creepin’
Left her seeds while I was sleepin,’
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sounds of silence…
Hrm… so Life refused to help Alinua grow the tree that busted open the prison. And now, judging from the narrowed eyes, she might be mad. Is there a chance that Life considers that forced growth to be “twisting” her, similar to what happens with chimera?
I think Dainix survived the fall just fine based on the chapter cover but I am a little worried. He’s probably the easiest to damage of the team, since he doesn’t have a hardy body, a healing factor, or life magic. Fall damage is no joke, guys!
Contrary to apparently everyone else in the comments, I dont think Life looks angry. She looks… asleep. Like Alinua. And I’m taking the blank panel as proof that nothing’s going to happen.
Then again, I’ve been wrong before, & it would make sense to start off a dream sequence this way.
Okay, is Ali having a nightmare? Like jeez, give her a break. She’s a mentally unstable girl who has gotten attached to her friends. Please, can she dream about candy or smth? Plus, she’s my favorite character, so please, cut her some slack.
Woohoo, I’ve never caught a release so early before! (my sleep schedule is in shambles)
Oh wow am I early uh getting some real “ceaseless watcher turn your gaze upon this wretched thing” vibes right now
After a sequence heavy in emotions, we get a relaxing of Falst and Dainix fighting for their life in a maybe-zombie dungeon
… Wait
they just got out, Red is milking this like she plant to retire off it.
Luck,
Chief
You think those are eyes?
Those green eyes are Primordial Life’s eyes
where do they store all those pillows???
Erin has a bag or two tha6s bigger in the inside than the outside
magic bag of holding
Pillowcase of Holding
beautiful
Aurora Question #21: What is your opinion on how simultaneously cool, awe-inspiring and terrifying Life is (also the design is so goooooood)

Hey is it just me or is there no alt text? Like there’s a boring file name not some funny Red comment what gives?
whoa, you’re right 🙁 zer0_wolf will be disappointed
There isn’t even an interesting file name, just the standard naming.
Seeing as I slept through my alarm, this just means one less thing to catch up on.
I mean hey, that works for you I guess
Hey if nothing comes to mind add yoyr own! I just enjoy the silent storytelling!
Given how consistent alt text and file names are, I feel like the lack of either is a statement all in itself.
HAHAHAHA IT BE THE DREAM SEQUENCE BED I TELLS YA
Kendal gets a dream sequence, Alinua gets a dream sequence, and Falst is getting back to harsh reality.
I’ve been wanting to get back to the boys yes, but that dream/vision Alinua is getting of/from Life looks interesting. Life’s exact movies and opinions of the gang, even her own chosen one, are nebulous at best; what she does or doesn’t do in a dream sequence with Alinua could reveal a lot.

Pit Time!
Alright everyone, since there’s no alt text, it’s time to enter your your charming and pithy submissions in the comments, go go go!
all I can think of is ‘someone looks angry’ lmao
and yOU get a dream sequence and yOUU get a dream sequence and EVeryone gets a dream sequence except you falst sorry buddy
dream sequence? i hardly know her…
hello darkness, my old friend…
probably just the wind
Yeah sleep is great and all but have you ever been trapped underground about to go on a ✨bonding mission✨
Under the-Rock.
Even eldritch deities need their shut-eye(s).
Something something dramatic shift in color scheme?
Well well, look who showed up again.
falst creates his own ✨hug pit✨
“Watcher or Haunter?”
What’s this? Another dream sequence?
What’s the Dread Wolf doing here? Get back to your own world, Fen’Harel!
In Alinua’s dark mind Living eyes open up
And in literal darkness Falst’s unconsciousness stops
lots of data I see, me read Red prose about cat sniffing cat toy;s
good times good times
<3888
Ari
Oh no, that does not seem like a happy Life face.
you could throw a nuke at falst and he wouldn’t die
I. You’re not wrong
but, like, why would you want to? 🙁
Does anyone else think Life looks angry or is it just me?
Back to the orange boys! You know what, Falst, you just stay there. You need a bit of a nap, buddy boy.
ok big ups to the people who said if alinua has a dream sequence we’ll know that this, specifically, is THE dream sequence bed
bacK tO thE bOIIIISSSSS
IKR IT’S LITERALLY THE DREAM SEQUENCE BED
The dream sequence pillow nest has been successfulky reproduced under controlled circumstances
Myth: [CONFIRMED]
Hey Alleyyy Since no Alt-text was posted with this page, it makes the scene more mysterious, I think that’s a nice touch!
Wait a second… Where is Dainix! Please please please don’t tell me he was separated from Falst.

Dammit Life! Let. The. Cotten. Candy. Elf. Sleep.
I’m enjoying Alinua and Kendal having samesies with important dream sequences
Life, you need to get a life.

Nicely poeted twice this page! 🙂
I’m betting that we’re about to get a reprise of Dainix’s “Wait, don’t move, you’re badly injured, STOP MOVING!” line.
At least the robot finally let go of his broken arm.
Hrm… so Life refused to help Alinua grow the tree that busted open the prison. And now, judging from the narrowed eyes, she might be mad. Is there a chance that Life considers that forced growth to be “twisting” her, similar to what happens with chimera?
that looks like a rather uncomfortable blanket.
that looks like a rather uncomfortable balnket, REFFERING TO THE ROBOT ARM not alunias blanket
I think Dainix survived the fall just fine based on the chapter cover but I am a little worried. He’s probably the easiest to damage of the team, since he doesn’t have a hardy body, a healing factor, or life magic. Fall damage is no joke, guys!

I think it looks like she’s just waking up.
Oh hey, soneone else that agrees with me on this! Yeah, imo the eyes seem too narrow to not be shut.
Back at the ranch
… Eh it’s probably fine……
hey does anyone else think that the chimeric plague was Life’s previous attempts at making a vessel?
life, please just let the poor girl rest:,)
slep
Primordial Life over here like “I’m about to ruin this woman’s entire career”
Retroactive TL;DR: Good night…
Life has a lot of eyes, wow
Okay, is Ali having a nightmare? Like jeez, give her a break. She’s a mentally unstable girl who has gotten attached to her friends. Please, can she dream about candy or smth? Plus, she’s my favorite character, so please, cut her some slack.
