Oh this is quite amusing of the Worm. She’s been through this more times than there seems to be a number for, yet she’s losing her composure over Allison’s grip and subversion of her. Because in all those cycles, in all that time… this is *new*. She hasn’t ever been suborned before. She hasn’t been bent to another will. The Worm doesn’t know the script, doesn’t know the scene, and just plain isn’t ready for this dance.
Allison had better come up with some new steps, because it doesn’t look like what’s been waltzed through hitherto has resulted in anything other than piles of the dead and dying.
Technically all Allison needs is Allison. That’s the power of the key. But I’m sure it would help to have one friend at her back who’s at least close to her level. C’mon Gog. You like chaos? Make this chick your chaos buddy. Have fun with it. Stop being so fatalistic.
Allison’s grip on the Beast only tightened, so we hear from Gog-Agog’s later account. The Wheel-Breaker would not be defied, not with the world in the balance. The account then descends into numerous pages of screaming, laughing, and crying.
Your struggle must be a terrible fire, which only grows as you pass it to others.
Let it be fed beyond the boundaries of the feeble souls of so-called Princes, Emperors and ‘Heroes’.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of those few things that can unmake or alter the Smokeless Fire of UN, its not an easy technique to pull off if 2-Michael is to be believed.
If it doesn’t consume him completely then I’d wager his next reincarnation will beat the rest of the Prime Angels for longest time.
I like how fitting the use of a flower is here, on the surface already Vigilant Gaze’s last act takes the form of something fragile and beautiful, but on many more levels it’s a far more perfect symbol than the armor or blade 2 Michael might have conceptualized the technique as.
A plant filters water and loose minerals from the soil, it invites in what nurtures it, and helps it bloom. The seed it comes from is destroyed and consumed, the shell that held life’s potential used, but this technique is not some abstract selflessness either.
In growing the flower of kindness, there is the mourning of what is destroyed, there is the terrible fact that we can spark both pain and relief from our acts, and there is the sincere and genuine conviction that if you wish to defend something absolutely and fully, you should be willing to strike the person who raises a hand to destroy it with everything you have.
Defending Justice to One’s Last Soul-Breath
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Aeon’s manifestation of Aguray Mat, the Flower of Sorrow,
delivering protection and buying TIME with their very being,
was witnessed by those who sheltered beneath the flaming petals
of their coruscating soul.
In repose, the Aeon’s gestures –
Anjali, the Offering of Oneself, Salutation.
Ardhapataka, The Temple Tower
From a world away, with tear-stained eyes,
the Dancer saluted the great Aeon with –
Hridaya Mudra, the gesture of the Spiritual Heart,
Karuna Mudra, the gesture of Compassion and Empathy,
Prana Mudra, the gesture of Life Force,
Padma Mudra, the Lotus Seal,
Palli Mudra, the gesture of the Shelter,
Purna Hridaya Mudra, the gesture of the Full Heart.
“Hear me O’ Gods,
I Call Upon you,
Witness this moment.
Witness your faithful guardian.
Witness their passing !

That’s just gogagog being a gusana, they’ll come around once allison starts winning.
THE angel.
Exemplary.
Bearer of the word DUTY.
Booo hooo boo hoo, same old same old. I’m so fucking bored!
Wait- WAIT! How DARE you make me experience new things!
C’mon Gog, make a friend for once XD
bring on the jeeps god damn you
*shakes fist, defiantly*
also it is very pleasing to see Gog get her arm twisted.
worm is so unused to having arms. (which aren’t made of worms and can harmlessly disintegrate.) doesn’t know what to do about it.
c’mon, oldest demiurge, second scariest demiurge, Be Helpful. You’re Required.
Is there anything you’re still unused to?

Where even are the archives, anyway?
Take a deep breath and climb the tallest set of stairs you can find until your feet are sore, then breathe out and turn left.
Dave should be there. He likes to greet newcomers.
Telling you to fight like it matters. Like there’s nothing else but to win. Do not hold back for tomorrow.
Everything I love is dying.
pebbles, sticks
river, drips.
You’d best draw quick
Your struggle must be a terrible fire, which only grows as you pass it to others.
Let it be fed beyond the boundaries of the feeble souls of so-called Princes, Emperors and ‘Heroes’.
Strength beyond Strength.
Remember this.
And awaken to your fate.
– Zoss , towards Allison Ruth
A Terrible Fire indeed.

Go go grandpa bonfire! Roast some more marshmallows!
Like a beacon in the gathering night
Nooo not my boy
Reach Heaven Through Kindness
The best is yet to come.
I am really, really curious about what Allison is planning. Or rather, if she even has a plan in the first place.
Looking back at the whole comic, I think I know which it is.

I love this comic so much.
THERE GOES MY HERO! WATCH HIM AS HE GOES!
#coming or going #soitsgoingthen
were it only that we could all be so lucky to burn so bright for something we hold as truth.
Princess, find your Ebon name and save Grandpa at the exact second he’d otherwise burn out with another angel demon wombo combo.
Better to burn out brightly than fade away to grey.
oh so he’s like DEAD dead
