Seeker of Thrones 9-115
“Here is a quandary, Ogam,” said YISUN once, “Which has the greater weight, a mighty stone, or a man?”
Ogam was intelligent, but was frequently found in his cups during the nightly debates at YISUN’s speaking house. He was very fierce and had little patience for little aside from combat, of which he was the undisputed master. In his Red Aspect, he had once bloodied fifty five thousand gods of war and ended the feud between the Lunar Solace and the House of Year Turning. He knew only sword law and gambling, and thought often with his spear. It was because of this that his answer was short, but very well-shaped.
“Cleave a stone to pieces, and you only make smaller stones. Cut down a man and cut down a great many people. To start, you slay all his former selves. You kill a enemy and a comrade, a son and a father, a mentor and a student. Then the great net of his life drags its hooks out and sinks all he was attached to, tearing a terrible hole in the web of being,” replied Ogam. “Men have a great many attachments, and a great many former selves. Manflesh is very dense, in the grand scheme of things. It makes war difficult.”
“Ogam is observant,” said YISUN.
– The Song of Maybe
I guess all their other friends are dead too. Shame..
now kiss
Ah well, that could ahve gone better, but the end result seems … goodish?
Still, cant imagine how much fun Mammon and his Scribes have watching, especially IF there is more making out planned than making up ^^
AND THEN THEY KISS?
Ants never sleep.
I really like how Allison is getting all those scars to go with her white hair, adds an interesting comparison to Incubus’s true form
oh that was. surprisingly easy
<3
“Through a lake of blood she shall yet wade, and yet she shall not be stained.”
Well, it seems clear that this was in fact meant to refer to the Reverend Mother / Mammon’s Nursemaid, for both Ali & Cio, while possibly redeemable, are pretty definitively stained.
And then Mammon absentmindedly ate them.
Let us remember the poor kin of good INGSVLD well, for it was the suffering of great indignity and damage upon its Eye that allowed the life of AL-YISUN to continue. Your sacrifice has been observed and noted.
Abbadon is gonna play us all n have them like. gently press foreheads together or some shit lmao
This offering on my day of birth I hold close to my heart.
This offering on my day of birth I hold close.
I’ve missed Cio’s demon-speech so, so much.
The Masks We Wear
Become who we Be
Yes – even Devils can have Dreams and Aspirations.
Cio struggles to master the Fiery Black Flame of her Nature.
“I can CHOOSE a NEW Path – Says I !”
( Says She. )
Writer, fan-girl, Geek, Assertive Ally,
“NOT Destined to be Cruel and Terrible – Nay !”
Samewise the Masks that Wear US,
can lead us down and astray,
through unwanted fields of swords
into Psycho Pathic Power Plays
and Decisions as pointed as a Misericorde.
Panel 3.
This kills the fan.
Camera pans to Mammon and the Mother Superior being all “D’awwww…They’re SO CUTE when they’re young!”
In name of dark fire… Kiss the girl!
Now time to have tea with the dragon.
A clean slate to begin anew. What wouldnt many give for that?
I’m pretty sure you can string this out for a couple more pages before their almost-kiss gets interrupted by Mammon asking where he left his favourite pillar or something.
Hrmm… Top notch!
So, there’s probably about a hundred spectators watching in total disbelief – including the High Priestess and Mammon. Given Mammon’s generally positive reception, I’m wondering if he might take on the rising king as a pupil. Sure would be good for her to get some proper Jedi training from someone with experience, and without obvious ulterior motives (although his current “Number 1 Priestess” might pose a problem). But still, “Warrior needs food, badly!”, and we know our gal Al has the power to do it herself, but apparently lacks the skill or outright will to make it happen.
Eagerly awaiting the next few pages! *slides popcorn bag into microwave*
What better place to hide and train than an impregnable infinite vault?
Thank goodness
I love how our grand author’s expressions bring out the tone of what they are saying so well.
