Actually it’s a coincidence. That’s not what “irony” means. Irony is “an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.”

A little technical are we? You know what they mean, so why do you have to point it out? Really?

…because that’s not what irony means. Coincidence/Literality and irony are pretty darn near being opposite terms. It’s worse than, say, mistaking a spider for a bug or calling a four year old a baby. It’s more like calling blue a “warm color” or calling midnight afternoon or saying “I ain’t never saw no gooses”. The terms are related by both being literary terms but that’s the only commonality. Sv Rouge only brought it up in conversation (when the moment was appropriate) merely to educate, not to be rude. It’s a sweet thing to do to impart knowledge when you have it rather than to hoard it and let people continue to sound uneducated when they are obviously not. It’s a common mistake, but at the same time, it’s still a mistake and, you know what? I’ll bet there are people who have read this comment stream, who could give less than a rin about English grammar, that now know more about irony than most English majors. Howzat for ironic? :)

Which I never said was a bad thing, and blue can be a warm color!! <:-O
13 is an unlucky number for her family, it seems. Is 13 when something happens as part of puberty? Maybe it’s like the bracelet, something she believes, but isn’t really true. . .
Poor Meela.
The number 13 has always been considered to be an unlucky number so maybe that’s why. But I think something bad is going to happen. Like the people who killed her family is supposed to kill her on her birthday maybe.
I am seriously wondering though and considering a couple of people’s theory that her clan might have some sort of curse or pact with the demons. Being Feral has some demon power inside him (his red eye) I wonder if that’s what connects them, how Meela has seen Feral’s past. Like whatever pact her clan has it binds them to the demons which is why her powers are a bit wonky (and she wonders if Holland will figure it out) and also her worrying about turning 13 and having to leave. It would explain why her family was killed too, that they’re feared for their connection to demons… I don’t know I’m just antsy for the reveal.
Watch we have to wait at least a month to find out. AAAAH!
I think the problem is rather simple. Meela’s training with Feral is coming to end on her Birthday. Meela leaving friends would be pretty sad by itself, leaving on her birthday is nothing short of cruel.
Feral! Don’t just sit there! Go see what the poor girl is so sad about! And give her another good whack on the head if she tries to get out of telling you! WE ALL WANT TO KNOW!!!!!
I was taught to actually do a cliffy almost on each page because it makes the reader want to know what happens next and yes this is ONE MAJOR CLIFFY! Can’t wait for next Friday! <333 Makes me want to huggle her! and the last panel is just amazing the expressions are great.
The first thing that came to me is that those random outburst is maybe linked to her 13th birthday….and she wants to be with them, but she’ll be exposing to them whatever this phenomenon is. Hmm.. CLIFFHANGERRRS.
That’s a very good question! When you will lok at page 2, you will see, that Meela is very small. https://www.straysonline.com/2007/11/11142007/
Her brother have a bracelet on his hand, so it mean, that they parents are already dead. So… he was looking after Meela’s for some time (as she will turn 13 soon). But how old he was when he died, and why he died… I have no idea.

MMMMM, perhaps Mella is a demon and her 13th birthday is when her demon side breaks out >:D
Like when Feral went nute when she tried to wake him up in the Inn. Evil has corrupted thier hearts!!!!

O.O Not cool, guys, not cool… WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK TO FIND OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING??! >.<
Seriously, though, great work. Haven't been this hooked on something in a long time.

that last panel. THE LIGHTING OMFG HASIUGFBSUODB
Dragonia
Why 13? Why is that bad? Tell us Meela! TELL US! >.<
Alvara101
I think there might be a thing with her family that when you reach the age of 13 then you have to go and find your own way in life. or shometin… :\

I get more and more sure of this theory with each page!

What if they got their plot ideas from our comments? 0_0

I think the problem is rather simple. Meela’s training with Feral is coming to end on her Birthday. Meela leaving friends would be pretty sad by itself, leaving on her birthday is nothing short of cruel.
Ikaru
I don’t think it is anything that simple. Especially because she is worried about Holland figuring something out about her magic flare-ups.
ArkaniusXII
Maybe Meele unleashes some kind of familiar unique to her clan?
Bluerosebud
But…Meela said earlier she didn’t have a clan. It was too hard to get into one, her brother said. Maybe this mystery is why?
Laine
Maybe they used to be in a clan? Or maybe it’s just their family?
Nokota
Maybe this has something to do with her magic flareups? some kinda family curse or something like that?
Ebeth+Bliza
Poor Meela :( 13’s always been a good number for me…
Inaar
Is it bad I really want that fourth panel as a background without the text… <.<
Jae
I wouldn’t mind the 5th panel as a wallpaper. Or maybe some sort of collaboration between the 4th and 5th.

Feral! Don’t just sit there! Go see what the poor girl is so sad about! And give her another good whack on the head if she tries to get out of telling you! WE ALL WANT TO KNOW!!!!!

umm its my 13th birthday is that bad?
Mary
Do you turn into a wolf? Do you have to leave all your friends?
No? Then for you, probably not.
(Many happy returns of the day!)
heilix
ou… Meela what’s wrong? you poor poor thing :(
whats the secret? Ô.ó
WOW is Meela almost 13??? what will happen then?
I can’t wait for next Friday ~
VelkynKarma
Hrm…..this is interesting. I wonder what she’s talking about.
Also…anybody else think it’s a bad idea to howl and announce your position when there’s a big angry kitty after you?
~VelkynKarma
thelightedDarkness
I agree,
(Wonder whatever happened to him……….)
Jae
Aw, crap, I forgot about Kitty! D:
Blue-Starr
Oh great. Not the angry kitty! Feral! Get yer butt in gear and go get Meela before bad things happen!
TheLoneDucky
Is there a curse related to being thirteen?
I could’ve sworn she was older than thirteen….
Mary
Modern living retards maturing. Cultures where kids get more responsibility younger see them grow up quicker.
Ivor
Oh noes – shes going to turn into a TEENAGER! :)

Aw man, I don’t know what’s wrong, but Meela needs a hug. :(
Barkeron
Hm, is that a new form she magicked into or is it just because of the lacking daylight?
Anyway, I wonder what will happen next.
Zanary
Was wondering about this, too.
Celesse
It’s not a new form, she just shifted to her wolf form.

how old was Meela’s brother when he died?
