And that’s it for Arc 2 Chapter 2! I’ll be taking a few weeks off to rest up, build the buffer, write more, and crank the AC. Story resumes in September!
Aurora
A fantasy webcomic. Updates M-W-F.
Him!! It’s him he’s here!! :OO
Everyone roll initiative!
Clickity Clackity, You’re about to get Attackity
Sounds like SHE’s here as well, possessing the Paladin?
The Collector?
The paladin’s goddess
Why would the Vash ghosts care about paladin stuff?
No, the Vash ghosts were talking about the Collector. They’re saying that LD’s possessing the Champion, the Collector isn’t here… yet.
🙂
Finally.
Someone let me know how many messages the Discord receives in…let’s say the next ten minutes.
(Also, obligatory “hey, that’s the same thing VD said after possessing Erin the first time!” Both of them even happened after Erin did something unwise involving all the elements.)
Also the same thing Life said when Alinua survived overchanneling her. Not exactly relevant to our current predicament, but it’s a thing that happened!
A running theme of immortal creatures (I don’t know how much that is the Light Dragon speaking in the last panel) having to be patient?
Probably; it’s a trend you see in storytelling a lot. If you ever watched Digimon Frontier, there was the “It is time” bit when each of the protagonists got their Spirit and activated it for the first time, and considering both in-series lore and the reveal in the final episode of just how massive the time difference between the two worlds was…
And based on the style, color, and effects on “Finally”, that is in fact the Light Dragon in control. This should be interesting…
For mobile readers.
Alt-text: and it only took him four years to catch up!
Image source: finally
Twitter Text: very rude to show up uninvited
Tumblr text: finally!
Someone lands on the deck with a wham that shakes the deck, jolting Erin back. The Champion. Kendal grabs for his sword as Tess watches with surprise.
The Champion’s wings of light arc out above him as he lifts his head, revealing white, glowing eyes.
“Finally,” the Light Dragon says.
So yesterday I completely forgot about the page coming out and then after I went to bed I remembered and was like “Oh no. I should look at it. But I shouldn’t. But I need to.” So todays my first time seeing this page and WOW I just had to stare at it for a minute after I read that.
“FINALLY,” so that’s probably the Light Dragon possessing the Champion right now. I really don’t know what’ll happen next. RED I KNOW YOU NEED IT BUT HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US D,:
Have a good break!
Small edits:
Ugh I really wish there was an Edit button on comments, this like always happens
Someone lands on one knee on the deck with a wham that shakes the ship, jolting Erin back. The Champion. Kendal grabs for his sword as Tess watches with surprise.
The Champion’s wings of light arc out above him, bathing his back in light and face in shadow. He lifts his head, revealing white, glowing eyes.
“Finally”, the Light Dragon says.
Thanks for a great chapter! I’ll try to get the prologue done before chapter three starts.
The paladin descends through the floating rain,
On his wings of shining light.
“Finally,” he thinks, seeing Erin still channeling,
With his eyes of pure bright white.
The Champion of the Lady, hair white, clothes blue,
Touches down between Erin and the rest.
He gazes at the vessel of the Void before him,
With six other elements blessed.
A brilliant light, a thunderous landing
“FINALLY” says Michael, there standing
I failed. Or didn’t try, and instead did a bunch of other stuff. I’m very busy and hard-working, don’t look into it
FINALLY
Now that’s a Friday cliffhanger.
No that’s a SEPTEMBER cliffhanger
RED WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO USSSSSS
A new party member approaches
Lol imagine. That would rule though
I totally see a temporary alliance, especially with the collector coming close and hot on their trails (at least according to Kendal’s ream and the people of Vash).
So, I feel like at this point Kendal has been established to be a relatively chill dude with lightning reflexes, right?
The fact that he immediately grabs his sword while the champion is still landing makes the latter seem a whole lot more terrifying.
Ohh! I am wrong!
Hmmm, maybe I am not so wrong since Red is not going to reveal anything until some time in September. Red you tease! (pat back and waggle finger) (Feel free laugh and point at my bad guess) (wave)
Ok Michael, I know it took you 4 years to show up, but Erin’s really going through it rn, do you think you could wait like a little.
YO WHAT RED PLEASE LET NO HARM BE DONE TO THEM😭😭
nah but fr tho i wonder how the champion guy will react to erin and how erin is gonna handle this situation
and also lets not forget erins mental breakdown a page ago, we’re not letting u get away that easy bud
Ah crud.
OH SNAP
Ah shoot
Now would be a good time for him to notice that voidy is not in control.
…But a terrible time to conclude that means he should attack the host before he can manifest.
Ayyyy Michael you’re here!! Any chance you’re NOT trigger happy and wanting to have a peaceful conversation to figure out what’s going on before being the latest bullet on the Problems list?
Goddamnit, not the cliffhanger hiatus, NOOOOOO
Nooooo
At this point I feel like I’m writing this on every page but GAWD
This is so COOL
How is Erin still concentrating hard enough to hold up the spell??
Lots of determination and bullheadedness.
After the four year wait, it’s not just the Light Dragon saying “Finally” at this moment.
So that’s why Erin had the costume change; to better clash with the Champion for this meeting! After that redesign in chapter 19, the two of them are dressed very similarly, even down to the sleeve bracelets/cuffs, on top of their similar hair lengths, ages, and frames. Then after the comparisons are the contrasts in colour, not just black/white shirts and hair but purple/blue capes, and waviness of hair. Even if you knew nothing about these two characters you can tell they’re both related in a way yet in opposition of one another.
Speaking of the art, perfect introduction to the Champion here. Landing right in the middle without being blindingly flashy about it like Tynan; he’s here to get the job done quickly and decisively, not to impress or sneak about. I especially like how in panel 2 despite his glowing wings and light from all the magic around him, his front and face are in shadow; adds a nice bit of threat and mystery to him.
Looks like the shock of the new arrival has pushed Tess’s sadness/anger/hurt at Erin down, for now; the Erin therapy post-trauma dump and/or Ruunaser sibling talk will have to wait. Who knows? Maybe a tangible reminder of the danger and stress Erin is facing, in the form of a superpowered paladin who wants his head, combined with his previous outburst, might make the gang understand Erin’s plight better.
Prediction for next month: First will come diplomacy, trying to explain to the Champion that Erin wants the same thing he does without costing his life and is worth giving a shot. He’ll disagree.
Then comes the fight, with Erin indisposed, Falst at the helm, Alinua limited without dirt, and Dainix limited on a wooden deck, it’ll fall to Kendal and Tess to fight. And frankly, I see the possibility of them losing. (though I wonder if the Champion/Light Dragon would see Life inside Alinua, like V.D. did, and what their reaction would be)
If I had to wildly predict, they may have one last opportunity to evade him: Erin drops the spell while his wings are down. If they can catch him off guard like that, he could fall into the water and they could escape … but also run the risk of falling in themselves. And y’know what that would mean? A prefect opportunity for Red to split the party!
That would be unironically funny.
Erin drops the spell, and Light Dragon Paladin gets waa-ho-ho-ho-hooiii’d into the horizon from a sudden storm-strength wind smacking them in the face.
I hope that happens by Erin dropping the spell and Kendal takes the opportunity to tackle them off the edge of the boat, falling into the ocean in the process.
We’ve already been setting up that he doesn’t need to breathe, and he’s got metal in his bones such that I’m pretty sure he’ll just sink to the bottom. This way, we get fun hijinks of him alone at the bottom of the ocean, and the rest of the party probably thinks he’s dead until they get to land and Alinua does her looking thing and sees Kendal walking along the sea floor.
That scenario would also mean Vash’s warning to Kendal about, presumably, the Collector would not be communicated to the rest of the gang. Without that warning the Collector could ambush the gang while they wait for Kendal to reach them.
Frankly, I think The Champion is far more likely to try diplomacy first. He’s shown sympathy even towards Cave Crawlers, and Erin’s a lot more sentient than they are. It might be Erin, Tess, or Kendal, or even the Lady herself who inevitably triggers combat.
Agreed. No one is at full capacity right now, except maybe The Champion. We don’t know the extent of his abilities, but he’s been flying for four years straight, so he must be pretty tired. If Erin drops the spell, that could very well repel him (either fleeing back above the clouds or falling into the sea), but it will certainly send at least a few of our crew to the seafloor.
Naturally, the most likely to sink would be Kendal and Dainix, who have BOTH been foreshadowed to end up underwater. But in my mind, anyone’s a potential sinker. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone went under, although splitting the party does seem likely.
Oh, I will absolutely predict some highly refreshing and open diplomacy here, because Red doesn’t waste our time with irony for its own sake, or with contrived drama.
Also because I just flipped back a page, and right before Michael landed, Erin was yelling, “Can you save me from the Dragon?” I’m hoping Michael heard that!
I’m also going to more tentatively predict that we won’t be seeing much more of Tarren’s Masterpiece. I don’t think she’ll survive both this fight and the volcano. I was wrong about a Gilligan cut, but I still have a feeling they’re going to make landfall in a raft made out of floating wreckage.
I think there is a good chance that the paladin will want Erin dead no matter the cost because of how potentially dangerous Erin is, which would leave little room for diplomacy, but I am open to being proven wrong. The paladin seemed compassionate towards the cave crawler, so it is certainly possible for him to be more diplomatic than I am giving him credit for.
I think the first thing we’ll get will be a quick recap of what the champion’s been up to since we last saw him, or even a quick overview of his whole backstory, although the backstory might fit bettern when/if he gets to tell the floof squad.
There almost is no shot of Tess and Kendal beating Mikey in a straight fight.(Toyko Revengers powerscaling not withstanding)
The light dragon stated that Michael is stronger than Walter. By a lot. Walter could probably defeat every member of the floof squad at once if not for Alinua’s connection to life. Kendals starfire might give them the necessary advantage, but I still think that they’ll probably lose.
However, I could see that they win if any of the following things happen
1. Life takes over Alinua
2. Danix goes demon
3. Erin and Walter work together(though this would incite further conflict
4. Kendal With This Sacred Treasure becomes vash.
5. Falst uses his claw of light thing
6. Tess 3. Dragons 0.
She never said he was stronger than the dragon, she only said they could fight back
The Light Dragon said to the Champion something like “we must move quickly. The avatar’s power does not yet rival your own” while they were talking, so I guess we’re still assuming that’s true, especially cause VD hasn’t actually appeared that much
She did say explicitly “the avatar’s power does not yet rival your own”. That might only have been about their respective dragon powers, but like, she must know Erin’s the elemental magus and account for that.
It is already Tess 3. Dragons 0. She’s hoping to make it 4/4.
Imagine at the end of comic, as the void dragon escapes and everything seems lost, Tess just shows up and one shots it.
Tess:27
Dragons:0
Good lord, SO MANY GLOW EFFECTS! I’m so sorry you had to do this.
He looks so freaking cool right now.
Also oh hey, my prediction was right!
Great googly moogly it’s all gone to shit!!!
Yes! WHAM!
WELL IF THAT WASNT A CLIFFHANGER IDK WHAT WAS
THIS PAGE IS SO DRAMATIC AND PRETTY AAAAAAAAAA
after four years… FINALLY!
Oooh, shiny.
Either this guy is going to see reason, not attack, and possibly join the party, or he is going to attack and trigger a very risky fight for our protagonists. Similar to what Evil Tree said, the ship isn’t a good place for a fight. Alinua can still heal, but she can’t really grow plants very fast. Falst can still fight, but he’d be starting at the helm and be fighting with an injured arm. Dainix may be able to fight, but it would all go to pieces if he used or turned into his crucible form. Kendal and Tess will probably be unhindered, and Tess can even use that Chekhov’s gun that was in chapter 1 (I think), where she uses lightning while touching the metal on the boat and then electrocutes everyone else who is touching it. I’m not sure how Erin will fare during the fight, but I bet he didn’t put this on his “list of everything that could go wrong on the journey but that I will try to control anyways” list.
It was Page 4 of this chapter.
Well, Alinua could be INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS in this situation, but that would require her to be INCREDIBLY UNETHICAL. Whats a little carcinogenic mutation/ multiple organ failure between friends/ random sky dude trying to murder your friends?
She could just modify herself
I wonder if she could make herself gills to talk with the mermaids?
Oh gods
That is mildly horrifying
But thank you now I want to see her do that
Though I feel like it’s more a Collector thing Alinua wouldn’t do that
“FINALLY” IS RIGHT! FINALLY, HE’S HERE! CAN’T WAIT FOR SEPTEMBERRRRRR
I hope we learn what’s wrong with the other dragon, at least a little
I’m so excited for the next update!
VALSRAX AMBUSH! USE A FARCASTER ERIN!
let’s do it!
This is certainly a doozy of a cliffhanger. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens next.
Oh cool, I’ll be moved into my new place in time for Chapter 3.
FINALLY, indeed. Banger of a cliffhanger to leave us on. Rest well!
I hope things go well for you 🙂 Moving is a paaaain.
Thanks! Yeah, it’s been quite a task, haha. So many logistics I’ve had to sort out… and the packing. Oh my goodness. The new place should be much nicer and more peaceful, though, so I’m hoping it’ll be well worth it.
Superhero landing, let’s go!!!!
Superhero landing!
Erin must have an impressive subroutine written to be able to keep that spell going with everything else going on. Unfortunately, he probably can’t move, and Michael (and his patroness) don’t appear to be in a very chatty mood.
Hot damn if all those glow effects don’t look amazing, though. Welcome back to the comic, Michael! (Have a good rest, Red!)
Well, they might be able to save you from /that/ dragon!
Also! That’s something new with LD’s voice! Primordials used to just have a blur behind their words, and now it’s a lot more defined.
you can tell it’s intentional since the last time we heard LD talk was the interlude just a few months ago. perhaps she’s more concentrated/focused?
Maybe physically speaking through Michael’s mouth, as well as doing a Magic Voice Thing. We could compare VD talking through Erin…
Now that we’ve got a paladin here, I hope they’ll talk and Falst will lead to a confirmation of my theory: that the Ferin were made by the Light Dragon to block off the chance of a human elemental mage freeing the Void Dragon.
Wait hold on that makes sense
That… that would also explain how ferin are able to use only light magic. “Even the most high-minded academic mages shrink from the thought of a future where no mages exist.” this is a sentence from the extra lore section on ferin. This could have been the reason for their transferable and dominant curse to new generation, to rid the world of tools for the void to one day use. I had simply written the wandering mage off as being the collector fucking around but the mage IMPLICITELY traveled the world to spread this curse as far as possible.
wow that really changes some things if paladins were willing to curse and mutate living people just so that the Dragon couldn’t have the slightest chance to escape
It adds up though. And it’s an ingenious way to go about it, even if the morals are VERY sketchy. It’s basically eugenics.
Where’s the actual evidence?
[REDACTED]
Ah yes! This is my theory too! The Ferin mage definitely had something to make their alterations stick, at first I thought it was a connection to void but now I’m thinking it was a rouge Paladin who combined their Paladin powers with Life magic to make chimerical alterations that persisted.
Ferin will never wholly replace mages; some fringe groups and species like Ignans, Cloud elves, sea peoples, etc, will keep living and breeding amongst themselves. But one thing they may end up getting rid of are elemental maguses (magi?), since they can only be born in unaltered humans and that seems to also be the group Ferin are most likely to breed with. If the Ferin mage was a Paladin, they may have though that this could be a slow but steady way or removing, or at least lowering the rate of, Elemental Maguses and eventually cutting off V.D.’s escape entirely.
Still, even if the theory is true, and that’s a big if, there’s no guarantee the Paladin champion even knows about it. For all we know it was done by a single rouge Paladin in secret that the organisation had no knowledge of, or only a select few know of and it’s a closely guarded secret.
Even if the Champion knows, I don’t think he’d tell anyone. As @veggiesnake said, it’s forced eugenics on a worldwide population in the name of “the greater good” that also spawned generations of xenophobia, discrimination, and all manner of isolated sufferings. If news got out that a Paladin, under orders or acting alone, did that, the organisation could be ruined.
Howdy, chiming in to the convo.
Life magic’s hypothesized higher properties were only unlocked when Life’s truename was first invoked by the Collector some 300 years ago. The Ferin Mage lived and died some 700 years before that. Life magic at that time was just limited to bending-esque magic, just like the other elemental magics prior to the First Invocation of their respective Primordial’s truename.
The idea that the Paladins were somehow involved is something I’ve considered, but right now all we have is speculation. My personal theory however, is that the Ferin Mage was never a mage to begin with, but rather an Emissary of the Twins. Their domain of creating new life seems to fit with the achievement of creating a whole new species that can breed true. And, given that Emissary status and elemental magic are mutually exclusive, I’m of the mind that the Ferin Mage wasn’t a Paladin themself.
@Mat Ooh, that is an interesting thought. The mysteries of the Twins, who they are, how they came about, etc, are very much up in the air, as are their exact motivations beyond making creatures as a form of art. A mortal could be an emissary of the twins, maybe even without the Twins themselves realising, and had access to some of their powers.
However, a caveat to all this is that the twins are about creating life, not modifying it. I’m even going through the tumblr and I see posts talking about them unwilling or unable to modify their own creations. If they had an emissary, they could force some control over them, and I don’t think they’d want them to make the Ferin by modifying existing people.
An alternative possibility, however, is Lyssandra, goddess of evolution, adaptation, and survival. Her dominion fits more in line with what the Ferin mage did to their victims; an emissary of her could have similar powers to change others into Ferin.
I hope thats not true
uhh.. hiii bud
please dont uh
please dont attack him he’s trying his best
cool wings btw ok thanks bye
I actually kind of expect him to be fairly cordial, approaching Erin as a victim of the Dark Dragon. More paternalistic than immediately hostile.
Kept you waiting, huh?
lmao that’s a *mean* cliffhanger for “a few weeks”
hope you have a nice break!
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD MICHAEL!!!! CHAMPION!! Text shape means Light Dragon’s speaking and we get another “Finally.” OH BOY
I have been thinking about this conversation/ confrontation for ages and Of course it happens in a bad time for the group Erin’s not doing great Kendal’s recovering from being stabbed Falst is also recovering Alinua can’t grow plants quickly at the moment Dainix isn’t doing well Tess is having emotions and AHHHHHH
more thoughts later I need to pace in a circle for a few minutes
Have a good break, Red!
Superhero landing… SUPERHERO LANDING!
Oh, he looks marvelous. It’s been four long years since we last saw him, and Red’s art was never hard to look at, but he looks SO GOOD NOW. Look at those wings, that hair! It should be said more often that Red has made leaps and strides while drawing this comic, and I’m more than happy to wait a few more weeks for this confrontation.
That said, there are two ways this can go: The Lady can recognise that Erin isn’t the Void Dragon (he’s just an innocent puppet) and try to negotiate OR (more likely) The Champion’s aggression might cue Tess and Kendal intervene, resulting in a long-term conflict between these two groups. We might even get both at once.
For reference, we first and last saw the Champion in 1-7-31 (https://comicaurora.com/aurora/1-7-31/).
It was actually 1-7-33 when we last saw him. https://comicaurora.com/aurora/1-7-33/
Well, yes. I know. But it’s the same sequence. It’s not like 1-7-33 was a different story beat to 1-7-32 or 1-7-31.
I KNEW I would get this EXACT reply for someone.
SHE SAID THE THING AAAAAAAAAAA
another glowy light effect has entered the arena!
UH OH SOMEBODY TACKLE HIM
Ffffuuuuuuu that is EPIC!
Fantastic <3
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
There once was a champion of Light
Who had searched far and wide, day and night,
To find that one boy
In the Dark’s employ–
Now he’s arrived and ready for a fight.
This page is absolutely sick Red!!!/pos
Hope you enjoy your break and I’ll be eagerly waiting for chapter 3!
TL;DR: Found
That’s too ominous for a tl;dr message good job
LET’S F***ING GOOOOOO
eyyyyy
You win the best comment award. Oh, the bittersweet irony of this being a multi-week cliffhanger!
So why is everyone calling the dragon “Walter” and the light paladin guy “Michael”
The name Michael comes from the obvious resemblance to the arch angel Michael in Christian religion
The name Walter comes from the early days of the comics when people didn’t entirely know what the thing possessing Erin was, and so named it an extremely ordinary name for comedic effect and to make it seem less scary.
I heard it first came a reddit poll
So, considering that the light dragon is the void’s equal and opposite in every way . . . are some rad void dragon wings in Erin’s future?
I think they have different powersets, but maybe flesh goo wings like what that glort was made of
Thanks, I hate it.
Also, don’t the words of a cult member at face value
I finished the page and literally stood up shouting, “I knew it! I freaking KNEW it was him!”
…
Erin didn’t say which dragon he was trying to stop in the last page…
That’ll be difficult to explain.
I mean… he could technically be talking about both of them… he doesn’t know he needs saving from the Light Dragon yet but…
Oooooooooh nice spoken parallels to the very villain you’re fighting there buddy.
(giving an awed slow clap to Red on that one, for giving VD and this guy the same first line (post prologue i mean. Damn that’s good.)
okay I worded that badly, I meant first line when they each respectively met Erin for the first time
)
bout time mate its been like 2 years
Four years. It’s been four years. And another month and a half, apparently
Not to interrupt, but you’re really supposed to ask permission before boarding a boat. No? Okay, be that way then.
Haha. Everyone’s in danger 🙂
There are three things all wise man fear. A knight with no moon, a storm at sea, and the anger of a gentle man.
Erin is currently facing to of them. This world has two moons. So, either one of them is destroyed, both of them are obscured, or I will be very disappointed.
THERE HE IS THERE HE IS THERE HE ISSSSSSSSSSSSSS *high pitched screaming (at 5 am*
HERE COMES A SPECIAL BOY HERE COMES A SPECIAL BOY HERE COMES A SPECIAL BOY
i just reread the first arc and got to the interlude for the second arc and Septrenn may just be the name of The Champion honestly, cause Stefan called for this mysterious Septrenn and whoop here is the champion, so yeah its just a kinda logical conclusion
I think it was made clear the septrenn and the champion are separate
Really? Where? It would make sense for Septrenn to be the Champion but… hmmm, actually, Sept means Seven right? And there are seven parts of the Dragon that Paladins are named after right? Horns, Wings, Eyes, Claws, uhhh… Scales? idk what are other ones…?
BUT Anyways what if that leader guy(Did we learn his name?) was calling for like a meeting of all seven of them? That would make a lot of sense. *Tada*
If this has been said somewhere like on Tumblr or smth sorry I don’t use that so
I think the champion is in a special category of his own
I should start doing questions again ngl
Do what you want but I personally would love that
That would be a nice way to encourage conversation and engagement, especially while the comic is on break, so I would also like that if you feel like it!
Oh shit
How do you change the profile picture?
The link at the bottom of the page that says “Get a Gravatar” will lead you to a site where you can, well, get a Gravatar, which will display as your pfp here.
Wait I’m confused everyone else seems to know who this is but I honestly have no idea what I’m looking at…
Have a look at this: https://comicaurora.com/aurora/1-7-32/
It’s been a while since we last and first saw this guy
Oh man, I’ve just thought of something.
Dainix was the first one to spot the Champion, and now probably has a good view of him. Even if he’s not part of the (assumed) fight that’s about to happen, he can see the colour and brightness of his magic. A few days back a bright flash of white light saved him and Falst in the dungeon, and Dainix theorises it came from Falst. Dainix is very good at recognising patterns.
Ergo, I think there’s a decent chance he’ll see the Champion’s abilities, remember the magic in the dungeon, and put two and two together.
Ooooh, I think you might be onto something! Can’t wait to see the difference between last time they talked about it and this time, considering the tensions that are between them now…
Not sure if anyone will see this but FYI, I’m on holiday tomorrow for two weeks and not bringing my laptop. I’ll keep up with the comic resumes on my phone, but every chance I won’t comment. Just in case anyone wonders where I am.
Don’t worry, some people will see it. Additionally, Have a good holiday and enjoy your time!
I was just looking at the pages leading up to the storm and I saw Kendal being woken from his nap by the ghosts of the citizens of Vash and they simply say ‘She is coming’. Now I thought the ‘she’ they were referring to was the Collector but what if it’s the Light dragon, do the people of Vash know the Light dragon may endanger Kendal and his companions, or was that not a warning but more a sign that help is coming and they think the Light dragon will aid them, or were they referring to the Collector and I’m just thinking to much into this.
Why would they know about the light dragon?
I guess I was just assuming the ghosts were omniscient and didn’t ask myself how they knew anything in the first place. Now that the questions raised though does this mean that the ghosts can communicate with Vash?
They are.inside Vash’s soul so maybe sensing whats happening around it is one of their ghost powers
Yeah, I think it was the Collector they were talking about, it would make more sense than the Light Dragon as 1. the Collector knows about Kendal now (and probably tortured the information on where they were headed out of Vash), and 2. Why would the ghosts know/care about the Light Dragon? It doesn’t seem like Vash has had any interaction with the Paladins, and the Collector is a more pressing issue (to them) than the Light Dragon.
I’m guessing they’ll meet the Collector when they stop on the volcano island. And then have to run for their lives. Of course, if Kendal gets pushed overboard with Dainix… As has been foreshadowed like this entire arc… then we could have a Collector-Alinua chat which I personally am very excited for
I think your right about the first two points you made so thanks for giving your insight about that.
Building on your thought on were the Collector might be and your point about falling overboard I think she may be on the bottom of the ocean. As interesting as an Alinua Collector confrontation will be and I’m sure will see one eventually, if the collector shows up I’m expecting a sort of above and below situation where Kendal and Dainix are underwater and everyone else is above either on the boat or on the island. I don’t think the Collector can drown and its been established that soul-fire can burn underwater so I don’t think Dainix can drown either and just before this whole voyage Tess theorized that Kendal might not drown so I’ve been waiting for that to be seen.
I opened this on my new laptop for the first time and I can finally appreciate the QUALITY of the comic. serioisly, I never got how gorgeous this comic is before today.
He’s cool
This is so satisfying. At first I thought you were playing with us, that it would turn out to be something totally different — a rescue or a new unforeseen threat.
And then it really was Michael, the wings of the Light dragon.
It’s so interesting how the Light dragon doesn’t choose one avatar but multiple ones. Her wings, her eyes…
…her claws.
It’s not a complete parallel.
The timing of Michael’s arrival is such that I think a) this is the best of their enemies to have caught up with them, and b) his arrival will somehow resolve the problem they currently face.
So, Erin. Meltdown over for now, okay? Okay.
I’m so excited for the next arc!
Sameee, been counting down the Days
tommorrow!!!
No wait two days
I’m really excited, I wonder what the chapter name will be! I kind of want it to stick with the theme so far; “Ripples”, “Waves”, and now “Storms”.
I’ve been rereading the comic, and I actually counted the days so I could read one chapter a day and finish tommorrow.
Now it’s tomorrow!
Aw man!
D:
Let’s try that again.
Now it’s tomorrow!
Ohhhhh, so *this* is how the ship’s going to get trashed
FYI: Red said on tumblr that “Story resumes in September” doesn’t mean “the first monday in September” (today), and instead just “at some point in September”.
In other words: Patience, my young Padawans
finally an excuse to use my time machine
*incoherent screaming and thrashing*
All the better so she can take as much time as she needs
stop it with your logic and empathy i need more comicaurora.com
*Sobbing and screaming and crying* fiiiiiine, I *guess* I can wait for a *while*
I am too impatient to be reading a current webcomic
At present “sometime in September” is all I got. I wanted to finish the chapter storyboards before I started finalizing and scheduling pages, and for reasons I’m still working out, I didn’t wrap that up until three days ago.
I’m hoping to work ahead, get a good slice of the chapter finalized before I start uploading pages, storyboard the start of chapter 4, etc, but right now I’m sort of still recovering from how crazy long it took me to get through the events of chapter 3. Densest bushwacking I’ve had to do yet. I actually drew up a behind-the-scenes comic about part of that process that I can’t post yet because it is radioactive with spoilers, but I think you guys’ll get a kick out of it when I can finally show it.
Is that Red? I’m glad you’re okay. We’re all eagerly looking forward to literally everything.
The text posted by Anon is a direct copy of part of a Tumblr post by Red. As such, the person posting it could be Red, or could be someone else who just wanted to inform everybody who doesn’t check Red’s Tumblr (shrugs)
Also, if you were worried if Red was okay, she has been posting on her Tumblr and seems fine
Omg your comments are fantastic, tysm, I was getting so worried!
A new foe has appeared…
I thought, “Oh, Red, a bossfight? So soon after Tynan? You’re spoiling us…” until I realized that the Tynan fight was posted mid-2022. Wow. Felt like last week.
From my perspective, two things could happen here.
a) The Champion joins the party. They make their way to the soulshaper monks with some extra firepower, possibly.
b) They fight and it sets the Floof Squad back like two weeks to a month of canon time.
I’m more in favor of option B, since (as someone above has already pointed out) it’d be a great opportunity to split the Floof Squad up. Though, I’m not sure how Tess or Dainix would get ashore—frankly, how anyone would get ashore, given how little water we’ve seen so far throughout this comic. The most we’ve seen was Falst and Tess fighting against the borrower wyrm, and that was a very shallow (presumably) freshwater lake that they sat in for like five minutes at most. Does Tess need to breathe?
Someone also pointed out at some point that if Kendal’s bones are made of/infused with Starmetal, that probably does not help his swimming capabilities. So…that’s three of six that would have some trouble…
I honestly have no idea where this is going to go. It would make sense to have the Champion join them, but also I think their party is big enough, and it seems about time for them to have another opponent.
I think they might ally with him down the line, but certainly not next chapter, and maybe not even this arc.
The 7th party member will be a woman
I agree; I feel like the ideal party size for a comic like this is 4-6. I also think that it’d be odd to expand the party more even after Act I. I’d guess a temporary alliance at most to get rid of VD and then they have nothing to do with each other.
He doesn’t have to join or fight
Yes but him leaving would be boriiiiing and I really don’t see other options.
I meant he would talk

Hello to everyone here on Sep 9th, how are we doing?
aaaaaughghghghgh
life is rough rn. Aurora is usually something to look forward to on Mondays, waiting has been hard 🙁
Im sorry to hear that, I hope things get better for you soon
Emerging from my cave is an excellent username and I fully support it.
I was bored scrolling through replys when I noticed this-
Sorry it took 2 weeks but thank you!
(Also TheScarletteWitch is a cool ass user)
This cliffhanger is hanging a lot longer. Red, ma’am, dear author, you can’t do this to us. Where are they?!
How is everyone doing on this fine 9/11 day? (o7 to the people who died but they’re not part of this conversation)
I’m doing alright. Hadn’t slept well, but it turned out to be a good day for me overall. How are you?
Pretty good actually. Homework is a pain, but other than that I’m just kinda vibing.
We had a community service day at school on 9/11, I helped build planter boxes 😀
Oh that’s actually pretty cool. My school just did the normal minute of silence thing. One person in my class was apparently not paying attention, bc she looked up and went “Why did it get so quiet?” Followed by giggles from everyone and dirty looks.
Waitiiiing, Red when you post Aurora we’ll be waitiiiing, even if it’s the last thing we see we’ll be waitiiiing, waiiitiiing
Noooooo
I appreciate the reference but that hurts
*Intense musical-induced madness*
When does a comic become a monster?
Five hundred fifty-eight fans, who wait for another page
CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN! CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN!
Why would you let our wait go on when quick updates are mercy!
(please take your time Red, i’m just parodying lol)
Epic the Musical?
Yep! As was the original comment (at least i hope i got the reference right)
Yea!! I’m glad people got the reference:D
all i hear are screams
every time i dare to search this page
i no longer dream
only rereads of older days
i had way too much time on my hands
(also this does not reflect my views or my perception of the rest of the fandom’s views! Red! please take your time! this is not meant to rush you and we are not actually screaming at you!)
Friends
Cyan’s instructions were clear
No matter what we hear
FULL SPEED AHEAD, until we find the chapter
My comrades
This land confuses your mind
With theories that we will find
So FULL SPEED AHEAD, UNTIL WE FIND THE CHAPTER
Good.

This comic’s amazing when you greet it with open arms

Whatever we face, we’ll be fine if we’re reading from the heart
No matter the place, we can light up the world, here’s how to start:
Read each page with open arms, read each page with open arms…

Waiting…
That voice… it can’t be…
Waiting…
…Cleo?
Waiting…
Oh Red, when you post the next page, I’ll be waiting…
Even if it’s the last thing I see, I’ll be waiting…
(I’m right here, girl, can’t you see? I’m waiting…)
Waiting…
I took too long…
(I’ll always love you)
And delayed it too far
(I’ll stay in your lap)
While you were waiting, waiting

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE
Thanks! 😀 I try my best
*Cheers for this masterpiece*
I haven’t listened to all of Epic!, so can you perhaps supply the original song? Please? For a poor, starving lass?
The original song is The Underworld- in the underworld saga. 🙂
Okay, tysm!
I do highly recommend you listen to the rest of the musical leading up to it, though— otherwise you’ll lose the sheer emotional impact this particular song has.
Will do o7
this is *hilarious* and I appreciate the effort
oh my GOD *clapping*
And it’s been four long years, OH, four long years since we have seen Michael… and now the God of Light, is out for Erin’s life, so we beg you Mikey, grant him mercy, and let this puppet leaveee
Maybe, if things weren’t drawn as planned
Maybe, if Red can’t meet our demand
Maybe we’ll rewi-i-i-i-ind
I know that we’ll be fi-i-i-i-ine
no idea how this would tie into the wait for the comic (or the rest of the internal structure of these parodies but I got the idea to replace “Fight, little wolf, fight” with “Fight, Zer0 W0lf, fight”
Maybe something about getting there in time to be first comment when the wait is over to do the alt text and image source thing from always?? Idk if it makes sense but you’re more creative with the lyrics than me soo
yeah!
Finally caught up, Erins throwing a tantrum and the champion has arrived!
Welcome to the fandom! Hope you enjoy your time here!
I’ve been here a while actually!
Just stopped keeping up to date with this last chapter or two for a bit
Hypothetically if light is the element of souls, Michael could possibly manipulate souls the way that Erin could manipulate void corruption. The Collector would be especially interested in this ability.
How do you add a profile pic here?
Click on the “Get a Gravatar” link next to the EMAIL field and do what the instructions say from there.
Aaand I’m caught up again, after taking a break from reading Aurora. And damn, this is going to be fun
Welcome back!
Will be 1 month exactly since the break tomorrow. I hope we get it back.
Patience is a virtue
You have no idea how many times I’ve said that to people before XD
It may be a virtue but I’ve never considered myself extra virtuous
gimme gimme gimme
(Brendan Fraser voice) Not right now it isn’t
My immediate thought is this paladin is going to be either a major rival or take over the missing “leader” role of the group somehow
Michael as a leader would be pretty interesting. The question is whether the Trust Issue Twins™ (Erin and Falst) would agree to follow him.
Honestly, this group needs someone new to be a leader. Dainix is a good right hand, but I don’t know if he can really take command.
So, I’m not so sure about the trust issue twins. We saw during the little Clifford chat the dragon is actively wary of the paladins. When mentioning they could be coming he didnt say”oh i can kill some paladins” he said he would kill the squad and run.
Falst is just speculation but in the flashback about his mom his dad had a garb thatbreminds me of some of the pali colors we have seen. Not to mention the ability shown against the slime.so i think he may have some connection to the paladins he either doesn’t know or isn’t sharing. So with a mix of open authority and ability to maybe help faust i think he can win them over.
Red’s okay, right? Does anyone know? I’m super happy that she’s taking breaks now, but I’m just hoping nothing bad happened to her or any loved ones..
Far as I know, the next chapter simply isn’t ready yet. Red’s been posting to her tumblr frequently and nothing seems out of the ordinary over there, nor has any sort of emergency been mentioned. She’s just trying to write a chapter that’s apparently been pretty challenging, and doing what she can to not burn herself out while doing it, which is exactly what she should be doing.
Thank you so much, you are an angel!! And I absolutely agree – (re: the first break she took last December I think) when I read that she hadn’t taken a break in years and was gonna take *only* a month off, I was honestly offended that breaks hadn’t been standard practice before that lol (I came to the game late / from her YT Trope Talks). I’m just so happy it’s rest related and nothing else going on 🙂 Hell, I’d literally wait an entire year for the next chapter if she asked us to expect it. I’m still “expecting” livinthefuture from Instagram to come back lol
I want to talk about how the Floof Squad very nicely fits into a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 style Ouroboros party but I don’t think anyone cares and don’t know if this is the best place to put it.
(See, and then the Champion would be the seventh Hero party member! It all fits!)
Ah well.
…. I do care, but that’s mainly because it sounds potentially fascinating. Feel free to expound (or not) to the extent you are comfortable. I WILL read it if it’s here.
I second this!
Oh.
Welp, here go.
So, first, we’ve got 3 Kevesi, 3 Agnians. Kevesi are Kendal, Erin, and Dainix, Agnians are Alinua, Tess, and Falst (who’s obviously Gormotti).
The roles of each party member would be as follows:
Kendal: Defender
Alinua: Healer
Erin: Healer (this one is stretching it a little, he’s kind of a jack-of-all-trades in reality)
Tess: Attacker
Dainix: Attacker
Falst: Defender
This is set up in a way that each nation then has one of each role.
Interlinking pairs are Kendal/Alinua, Erin/Tess, and Dainix/Falst.
This kind of came into my head after Red’s offhanded comments about party comp, and I’m like, “hey…my favorite game has a six person party…wait…” and it all fell into place.
It’s kind of hard to fit these characters into Keves and Agnus, because that’s a very specific story/worldbuilding element of the game and does not translate whatsoever into the world of Aurora, but I think if I had to assign them this is how I’d do it.
Why do I feel like (based on Chapter 3’s cover art) Michael is about to put the team through a Consul N-level beatdown?
Proooobably because he is.
I mean, that’s what I’d imagine.
I doubt he’s going to put them through End-Of-Chapter-5 levels of trauma, though. We’ll probably have to wait for that.
Where did the idea of the paladin dragon’s element being soul come from?
hollow knight /j
I haven’t been keeping up with the theorists, but considering the Light Dragon invented free will, it’s entirely possible she did that by creating the first soul. It would then follow that the Paladin Champion would be able to use that element as well.
No soul=no magic, so that can’t be true or VD would have come up with a different plan
Oh, and no body too
I remember suggesting this around when I first joined the comment section, back during the Dungeon Adventure. Don’t know if someone else suggested it first, but I’m glad it’s becoming a popular theory.
Its been popular for a while and its never seemed very strong
Go check the prologue. We there see V.D. attempting to possess a newly crafted human who could free him, but being kicked out. The human seemingly gains sentience through a burst of white light. And later on, Walter mentions being foiled with regards to humans/elves because of his “other”, whom we can presume to be the Lady.
The other notable thing is that soul energy just exists in this universe. It isn’t understood as an element like the others since there are no known soul mages, but seems to be a well known thing. The humans/elves gaining souls, or some sort of reinforcement to their souls, would be a reasonable explanation for why V.D. can’t just possess them, and these souls are canonically made out of soul energy.
So we have an element which exists but isn’t treated like other elements. And we have unexplained blueish white lights which both the Lady and the Paladins wield. Seems a pretty reasonable foundation to me.
But see, magic is channeled through souls, so the plan would not have worked if they didn’t have souls before the dragon’s other came to be. Plus souls come in many different colors and light stuff is only a blueish- white. Why does everything have to come from a primordial? I’m not rested enough to come up with more evidence, but the basis of the theory only seemed to be that souls are commonly shown as white in other stories.
I agree with Snakesight, the theory makes sense at first but there are definitely some holes. I could see it making sense if the moment when the Lady gave people free will wasn’t her creating souls, but instead changing them. In the prologue it almost looks like her and Voidy were working together up until then, so maybe she had helped make souls as a mechanism for the magic that Voidy needed, but she had some unknown ulterior motive that led her to “awaken their wills”, and that’s what caused the rift between them.
@Tarrarel312 That’s interesting! And also ties in nicely with the whole “Ancients worshipped V.D. alongside the Lady till he blew them up” thing. If they once were working together the memo might not have reached the Ancients, who were created before all those shenanigans.
Thank you both for pointing this out, makes sense actually. In regards to @Snakesight’s comment: Everything else we’ve seen on this planet comes from either the physical bodies or the wandering souls of primordials, so soul energy being primordial top would fit that pattern. Then again, come to think of it, stars also exist and so there could be many other things out there in space that created soul energy. It seems conspicuous of Red to specify that all the primordial stuff is about this specific planet, so we’ll probably find out more in time.
*being primordial too, see this is what waking up at 4 am in the wrong time zone does to you.
Oh and one more thing. If I remember correctly, when Erin talks about the Soulshaper monks (chapter 8?) the illustration shows what seems to be the mind in purple and the soul in blueish white, which fits the general colour scheme of the Lady.
This has been a wild past several hours for Red’s tumblr followers. We’ve gotten the new chapter cover and it goes
SO
UNBELIEVABLY
HARD
It’s in the archive now too!
OHH THANK YOU ITS SO GOOD
My internet is horrible, so the chapter cover loaded super slowly. But this also means that it loaded a little bit at a time, top to bottom, providing an incredible slow reveal that seemed very appropriate for the dramatics of the cover.
I’d checked Red’s tumblr earlier that day and seen her gradual status updates on lining 22 pages in one night. Then someone sent in an ask asking her how her hands were, and she responded “In fighting form, apparently.” AND THEN FRICKIN DROPPED THAT. LIKE THAT WAS SOME KILLER PRESENTATION WOW
I think the shadowy tail surrounding the two looks like the great void dragon rune, but also not quite. Maybe the great White Dragon rune?
I love how these comments have just descended into madness while we wait for the next chapter.
YES!! I check the page every day and sometimes I’m more excited about the comments down here than the possibility of getting the new chapter
I’ve literally only checked the comments today and was trying my hardest not to laugh in a lesson, it was great
I see people calling the paladin Michael and I have to ask, where did that come from? The other names seem more self explanatory, Life Mum is life mum, Willson is a comedic subversion of expectations about the void that eats the stars, and Chimera mother is the collector.
But Michael? What did he do to be Mike?
He reminded people of the archangel Michael.
“Wilson”? I thought we were calling him Walter
Anyway Stark is right, it’s because of Archangel Michael
i feel like king Julian right now
HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?
Hello everyone, happy monday, anyways-
ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE CHAPTER COVER?!?!
1) its GORGEOUS
2) ERIN MY BOY ARE YOU OK?!?!
I said this somewhere above, but my internet is disgustingly slow right now, but that means that the chapter cover got an appropriately dramatic slow reveal as it loaded one line of pixels at a time, top to bottom
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then we are all insane, because we keep clicking on the Aurora logo at the top of the page expecting it to take us to a new page, even though all it takes us to is this one.
How dare you call me out like this.
Each Monday: I will be patient. It will be back when it’s back.
Each Monday: …*sighs and picks up sketchbook for more fanart*
I keep telling myself that when it starts up again, i should really just check it once a week, because it really does flow so much better when you read it all at once (case in point, rereading this chapter, I’m amazed how FAST everything went to hell!)
But then I’d be depriving myself of the entertainment of the comments and the analyses and the Wild Mass Guessing and general screaming, and let’s face it, we all know I’m not going to do that, it’s too fun 😛
Soon, we finally have a chapter cover now!
Red, define “September”.
I mean, the last day of September is a Monday, it could be then.
Where the next chapter Red ,I need it girl
Do we know when the next chapter will come out yet, or do we still only know it will be this month?
Considering that the Chapter Three cover looks so amazing, what are your favorite chapter covers from the comic?
Petrichor is my favorite because it pays so much attention to detail and it’s just really cool! Gotta admit though that I also just really love the color gold and really like ruins/statues.
Downburst because Tynan looks suitably imposing and Petrichor because it beautifully captures the groups emotional state
Petrichor, probably, I just love the design
Definitely Downburst, it’s GORGEOUS!
oooo, probably either petrichor or cloudbreak
I really like the three Erin Intro Arc covers, especially Erin, with The Storm and the Sorcerer as a close second. Nightmare is great too tho.
Also, yes on Downburst, Petrichor, and Cloudbreak.
Torrent definitely. Cause GODDAMN the palladin looks cool hitting that pose
Interstitial, Long Night, and Downburst
But damn, Torrent looks amazing.
I’m a big fan of Firestorm because I think it just captures the vibe of the Tynan fight so well, but Torrent might be my new favorite
Please don’t tell me “Resumes in september” means “Resumes september 30th”
I mean, that’s the only Monday left in September, so…
It would be technically correct. The “best” kind of correct?
Maybe it means “Resumes in September … 2025”.
I think Red should take as long as she needs to to put out this amazing comic…
but if it doesn’t resume till Sep 2025 I will RIOT
Red better hurry, Billy Joe Armstrong is a bout to wake up
New Mozart song before the Aurora chapter is crazy
Absolutely bonkers
…welp. I think we all know what will happen this chapter.
Red’s really going all “technically correct” on us with the September return date. XD
Fr
no kidding
She said September, but not which year
oh god
Ugh, Red, you of all people! We’re so disappointed, that you’ll drop it September 30th, therefore it will be technically correct but we still got to wait for the whole month! We’re really angry with you! This is totally not a sarcastic comment!
Each day that goes by, my faith does not wane but my soul does ache. Five and a half short years ago my heart was taken to a mythic and fantastic land of Gods and Heroes. But now after being away six, long, grueling weeks, the pain of separation cuts me. It cuts me deeply.
fr tho, Red, we love you, in a storge way. You can post tomorrow, no need to wait until Monday, if for no other reason than my eyeballs might melt out of my head if I go another weekend without Aurora. No biggy
Every single day I check if she posted the next chapter, if not I sit down and write my comics(Myth or either Ronin),when I’m done with at least two pages I check again, if not I make character sheets for the characters.It’s an endless cycle, Red please post the next chapter soon or Ima go ballistic
It’s 3 a.m at my place ( Kenya, which is in Africa) and I have school tomorrow meanwhile I’ve been rereading Aurora from chapter 12 just to pass time. The sleep I am perhaps missing definitely won’t backlash me in the middle of a lesson as a form of hubris. Right? RIGHT?
As long as it doesn’t superhero-land in front of you in a flash of light, I’m sure it’ll be fiiiiiiiiine.
If so ima just drink cold water ,hopefully sleep won’t come for me during a Math or Swahili lesson, if I even close my eyes for more than 10 seconds, I’m cooked
It’s four a.m.Why am I still awake
The part of my brain that is highly energetic: Cause I f’ing said so.
Me:I got school tomorrow
Brain:🎶that’s just not my problem🎶
Me::'(

Dang I duplicated the comment. Sorry y’all for the inconvenience. Ima see y’all tomorrow and then since it’s Friday,sleep is something I would gladly discard for a few 12 hours with no backlash…I think.Meh.It’s probably gonna be fine.Aight see y’all tomorrow
There’s like an 80% chance that I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night just to check for a new page-
C’mon kids, just one more weekend and we’ll wake up to a new page
We’ve gotten this far, don’t let your resolve waver!
👏👏👏
We gotta ✨✨persevere✨✨ for one more weekend. We got this!
✨PERSEVERANCE✨
LETS GO PEOPLE LETS GO!!
Aight I’m back from 8 grueling hours of school and all I gotta say is: we must persevere brothers, Darth flogus (Red’s other title)will post soon.I hope
THERES ANOTHER COMIC?!
Darth Flogus is something people call Red. I’m not sure why.
I thought it was another comic too, though.
I just finished making chapter covers for the 1st and 2nd chapters of my two comics (myth and ronin) and I hope y’all slept well cause we stuck here for a couple more hours or days until Red posts.Anyway what are your favorite chapter covers, mine are interstitial, downburst and torrent
We’re in the final stretch :3
AaaaaaaaaAaAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaahhhh!! The suspense is killing me!
Every time I come back here I fall in love just a little more with the art…and I’ve come back here a lot over the last month.
two. more. days. red, you’ve driven me to insanity. i’ve been reading TWILIGHT.
Goodness, are you okay?
last opportunity monday for september to be accurate lol
but obviously take your time queen :3
Its official! Update on Monday and I am SO READY
I just know the comments (hopefully) on the new page will be nuts once Monday rolls around
is it just me, or do you think the next update is going to be in october ??
Archive confirms it’ll be on Monday, which is technically in September!
The archive confirms it— next update is tomorrow, which is *technically* still in September!
*insert laugh of insanity*
Oh. good heavens.
I love how we were all chill *right* up until the comic didn’t release the first Monday of September like we thought it would, and then we just slowly devolved into insanity. Super hyped for tomorrow! (confirmed by the archive)
“It was late evening,
the last September,
an autumn evening,

I apologise for the person I’ll be tomorrow morning
oop time to stay up until 3 am today (tomorrow?) aaaaagg the excitement!!!! :33333333
Soon.
The site 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 crash
