What’s happening in the second row? As far as I can tell, Falst tries to jump back up with the books and Erin stops him? And this takes life magic for some reason?
Someone will probably decode the runes to confirm for sure what Erin’s cantrip is meant to do (someone with more patience than me to stare at a codex for 20 minutes anyhow), but I thiiiiink Erin is either shaping the tree branches to trap Falst or growing plants like Alinua to do something similar??? I’m not quite sure. As for why he’s using life magic, he had it queued up almost immediately upon seeing Kendal get slammed into the ground (probably to heal because OW), and I’m guessing he just used it to try and stop Falst since the channel was already open
Tiny Jellyfish on discord discovered that it says “sending, seal the power safely.” The first word could also be mending. It is interesting to note that the wind shield spell also says, “mending, seal the power safely.”
I think this is the runic circle mentioned a few pages back. The runes appear to trace a border for the spell, funneling energy kind of like a focusing lens.
Who agrees this should become a book after the story is finished?
But I have questions and would like your opinions on them.
First, what will happen to the parts of VD that are stuck in Erin after the soul shapers take the void stuff out? Will there need to be another side quest just to get rid of it? What was Mr. Glowy-sword-and-wings talking to? Will he fight or aid them getting rid of VD in Erin, or just try to kill them? I think that the ‘lady’ he was talking to was a second dragon, the one that gave the beings sentience in the first panel to stop VD. Is she the opposite of void, and if so, what is the opposite? When they get Vash back, will he make a new avatar and let Kendal continue to live, take Kendal over so the group can’t talk to him, or only take Kendal over when he needs to? Also, are we sure that’s Falst?
Please reply to my exsessive overthinking questions
I currently think that the opposite of Void is soul. I don’t think Vash could take Kendal over now that he has his own soul. I think glowy wings will be an antagonist. I’m fairly certain that is Falst. I have no idea about the VD situation.
Thank you for your opinions, Anaklusmos.
I also remembered another question: is the chimiric plauge life trying to choose an avatar? If so, why would she need one?
I think it is Life. I also think it has something to do w/ not wanting to be dead. Being an unconscious, formless miasma of life energy can’t be very fun. Don’t think it’s necessarily because of VD because it seems like this has been happening for awhile.
I’ve been compiling all of our Word of Red lore and I found something really interesting relating to the chimeric plague! She was talking about what had happened when each of the primordials’ truenames were discovered. “Nobody knows what happened to the life mage, who secluded herself to her studies, but some magical historians noted that the first documented case of the chimeric plague happened less than two decades after she vanished.”
Red says soul mages aren’t a thing And I don’t think it’s the collector. Ilia said that what the collector is doing isn’t really magic. Plus, she doesn’t just use life, I’d say her use of stone is way more memorable.
RIP my theory. Some Word of Red stuff was found. It probably explains how Michael has his powers. And I also found something that disproves my primordial of soul theory.
Ooh neat! Your drawing style is cool, you’re much better at details than I am. My thing with drawing is that I basically learned everything from Red (and also Isriana). A typical situation: “Wait how do I draw noses” *time to study a page of Aurora*
This is the doc I’ve been working on. It has everything Red has ever said about Aurora lore in it. For those hard core avoiding spoilers, avert your gaze. Red doesn’t spoil future plots, but she does kinda talk about character traits. She also has lots of cool world building stuff that probably won’t come into play anytime soon. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JkSHj6n5vZFVYvhkulLnwXaJ5NO3eotEPr53KsIYdGQ/edit?usp=sharing
Whoaaaaa this must have taken so long! As a new reader (I just got up-to-date yesterday), this helped a lot with some lore that I was still confused about, so thank you very much!
Okay, the sassy attitude reminds me so much of Dark Pit from Kid Icarus Uprising (Kinda seems like he would sound like him too). Ooooooh, I can’t wait to see how he’s gonna interact with the group!
Erin: NO! My books! How dare you steal my only friends!
As for why Erin is using life magic to, I assume, trap lion-guy it looks like Erin was charging it in the panel before he noticed the thief, likely to assist Alinua. Using the magic he was already channeling is quicker than canceling that and channeling again. Not to mention this being a wood means there’s plenty of life to manipulate.

Erins trynna capture him with vines or smthin

Finally Falst speaks!
Kendal is awesome in this panel.
Erin using Life magic looks like he has the Eye of Agamotto/ Time Stone.
Huh, it does look like Erin is using the eye of agamottototo! Gimme a sec, I’m gonna draw Erin as doctor strange real quick
I already am 🙂 I’ll show you when I’m done
I did it! I did it! *grins*

Feedback per favore?
That is not how you say it! Its “Por Favor” directly translated to “for (a) favor”….now that I think about it…is it Italian you mean or?
But on the other hand it is your drawing you wish to speak of eh? Well the only thing I can say is…IT’S BEAUTIFUL!
Yes. It’s Italian. 😀
Time to catch a Flast :3
Oh, the Gem in Kendals Sword glows! O.o
Hooray! Erin won’t be completely useless this time
Watch him get possessed and forced to let Falst go XD
Whys everyone calling this guy Falst? How do we know their name?
Something about a picture of him having the file name Falst.

I also remembered another question: is the chimiric plauge life trying to choose an avatar? If so, why would she need one?
I think so, because VD is trying to come back
I think it is Life. I also think it has something to do w/ not wanting to be dead. Being an unconscious, formless miasma of life energy can’t be very fun. Don’t think it’s necessarily because of VD because it seems like this has been happening for awhile.

Wait… what is that life mage is the collecter? It would make more sense if she was an ex-soul mage, but who says she can’t be both?
Red says soul mages aren’t a thing And I don’t think it’s the collector. Ilia said that what the collector is doing isn’t really magic. Plus, she doesn’t just use life, I’d say her use of stone is way more memorable.

I’d be fine if it was physically published in installments like the first ten chapters could be one book or something
I would absolutely buy this in trade.
Where do we know Falst’s name from?
In the sketches page there was a drawing of falst with the file name of falst
Oof I found the short angry one
That whole “Elemental Magus” thing seems to be pretty useful. Whoda thunkit? 😀
I can’t wait for this dude to reluctantly ally himself with the party as they gradually earn each other’s begrudging respect
has anyone noticed that the chapter 9 cover has come out? and btw it looks awesome!
Oh wow, I see what you mean! Btw I made the
fanarts, have you seen them?
Yea! I’ve seen them, they look adorable! I forgot to post my one on my devianart ?
Thank you! If you do post yours, I’d be excited to look at it!
I will post the drawing soon!
Varda! I have posted the drawing! Hope you like it!

Thx varda! I’m glad u like it! I also learned some stuff from red/aurora! And I didn’t start drawing noses until like 3 months ago :/
Do you have a link to your fanart?
My link is in the above thread where I talk about Erin looking like he’s using the time stone.
Ooh, I like how the cover shows both moons full! (Or, at least almost full; the sword moon is actually in its waning gibbous phase)

I really like the use of light, motion effects, and sound effects in this comic. It always adds to the scene and is never confusing.

TL;DR: Floofy nerd tries to capture creepy spy person. Floofy boi shows off his extended warranty and shatter resistance by not dying.
Kendal is such a badass, i love it.
Alt text: this thing’s way more stabbable than that sentinel was

Catboy jumps, but is caught in vines
Kendal keeps stabbing, of anger gives signs
