Seeker of Thrones 6-66
Chapter: 6
“The king Au Vam was known for keeping a peculiar member of his council – a low-born scullion, who would serve tea for his grand war parties. This country maid kept the company of ten of the most powerful generals in the Yellow City, and was privy to their most tenebrous plans, yet was scarcely sixteen summers of age and educated not a whit.
Her purpose was thus: if the grand designs and monolithic schemes of any of these mighty and august men could not pass the base judgement of a girl of sixteen summers, they were immediately discarded.
Thus did Au Vam win nearly all of his battles.”
-Histories of the Yellow City, Vol. 32, paragraph 3 (A.S.C. 189)
Tea is quite metal, just add skeletons
Evil Overlord List #12:
“One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.”
Au Vam is wise, indeed!
I see a ship in the harbor.
Hahaha… she’s is quite adept in the art of cutting as that retorn went straight to the bone.
*retort
‘Cause in my dreams it’s always there
The evil taste that twists my face and brings me to despair
The cup was black, was no use holding back
‘Cause I just had to steep, was someone watching me
In the mist, dark liquids move and twist
Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell?
SIX SIX SIX THE NUMBER OF THE TEA!
Daarjeling was spawned to be released
Oooooo, I’m stealing this!
A dream is an unachievable goal, but since we see it in front of our eyes we keep going towards it
In tea there is death
What is more metal than that?
In tea there is life
Ladies and gentleman, we’ve arrived at 6-66.
” I really should have … line up with something far more metal than an interlude with tea”
6 Juggernaut begs to differ, I dare presume.
82 White Chain is such a teenager sometimes.
I imagine Au Vam as Groucho Marx.
I do wonder if perhaps 82 White Chain feels uncomfortable around the girl because she holds a form close to 82’s spiritual ideal.
I think angles in general aren’t very fond of humans.
*angels!
I can be your angle or your deliv.
I mean even if she began being scarcely sixteen summers, time moves forward and the experiences she has while serving tea wold eventually change her into something else besides that first naive sixteen summers girl.
Unless he got a new girl every year.
Nyave honey did you just bitch slap an angel in the feels
Teacups are on it.
Forgetting your dreams is the first step towards nothingness.
Ah, the Tea Maid of Au Vam. Truly one of the greatest Naysayers to have ever drawn breath. It is my great regret that she never responded to any of our letters offering guild membership.
…though come to think of it, I’m not entirely certain she knew how to read. Hm.
This comic makes me wonder just how much angels can learn, change, and grow (spiritually and mentally I mean). They are very very old, but for most of their existence (on the celestial timescale) they basically only either meditated on emptiness or fought void-devils, so in terms of actual life-experience…well, they haven’t really got much.
I get the impression that angels don’t like humans much, but right now it’s more like they are part of the landscape than an actual player in the game. If they want to avoid being passed on by, they need to learn to grow up.
Which bring me to- White Chain seems to be acting like a petulant teenager who’s only just now realizing that the universe isn’t all sunshine and roses and they can’t always have their way.
Does anyone else get the impression that their might be a better candidate for God-King of the multiverse than Al-Yi-Sun?
So I just binged the entire archive in a few days. I love this comic the art and the themes. I’m really looking forward to following it.
One of Us!
Nothing is more metal than tea.
When this tarted White-Chain had one visible eye. Now she’s down to non.
I think the visuals are trying to tell me something!
82 WHITE CHAIN IS…

Wow, White Chain. Way to be 82 Debbie Ruins Mood By Being Downer.
