Looks like Feral had a girlfriend. Possibly more. Interesting… wonder what happened there. Incidentally, I was watching Prince of Tennis, and noticed Meela looked an awful lot like Kintarō Tōyama. Mayhap some influence there?
Oh, please, this is DEFINITIELY NOT Piper… I don’t understand, why some people keep saying that this girl (as I understand called Vihky) is Piper. Come on… :/
And yeah, Syddles, seeing Feral with so happy expression is amazing. I love it very much <333
I like how you earlier explained how Meela’s parents met, so we wouldn’t have conspiracy theories about the pair being her parents. Also: yes, Yuen looks so much like Feral.
How exactly are those vowels (the “ae” in eylinae and “eo” in Meoley) pronounced? Are they diphthongs, or do they represent monophthongs that English doesn’t have, like Korean romanization?
It could just be the angle/distance/color-filter/etc, but in panel 3 it looks like “Yuen’s” right eye is darker than his left… But when we saw Young-Yuen, he had a R-Yellow and L-Green eye. So maybe it’s already red by this point? Or, again, I could just be imagining things.
Yeah, I read back through the comments and you’re right about the yellow eye, but on this page it looks like he might already have a darker right eye (the one which would be red). As I said above, it could just be as simple as the angle and the outline being half a pixel too thick.
YES! YOUNG FERAL! Okay, so Meela has effectively split off from Yuen. That makes sense. He looks so innocent and happy…^ ^ I guess now we’re all hoping that this isn’t a relative of Avela!
I’m wondering where he is, though. I thought his diary stated he was taken in by Mal’s family, but didn’t he have to leave the clan or Korin would kill him?
Look at Yuen/Feral’s arms in panel 4. Quite muscular! :)
I love Meela’s look of surprise in panel 2.
It is interesting that Vihki has never opened her eyes… And the colors of her hair are QUITE similar to Avela’s…. Though only Vihki’s bangs are blonde/lighter instead of the whole top of the head, and then the bottom is darker fading back into light, like Avela. However, her clan mark is different….
I would really hope she’s not related to Avela, or incest abounds!
Maybe it’s just that that’s how Lupian hair colors grow in, like if their fur has different tones? Or some type of hair dye is available in this fantasy world with jeans and finely sewn clothing.
I think that it is probably your first guess, that if the individual has multiple tones in their fur, their hair will reflect that. Which I think is totally cool. ^_^
I’m going to guess that this is the clan that took Yuen in when he first ran away from home. There’s a high probability that it was Mal’s clan, since their dialogue as kids indicated that they were of different clans. I think someone else already suggested it, but maybe Vihki is a relative of Mal? His sister, mayhap? :D
That could very well be. Hmmm…. Yuen in a relationship with his best buddy’s sister…? I love those sorts of things. But I’m not getting my hopes up. I have to say that I am curious about what happened to Mal.
It’s already been established in the storyline and by the authors he is—unless you mean he hasn’t been renamed Feral—and that doesn’t happen until after Holland meets him.

I love how you made her translucent! And man, even the single color shading is spectacular! o_O
Elvira
Ok. Yuen is so Feral… Look at the features!!!!
CookieLoveXO
But what if it’s Feral’s parents?! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN
Elvira
Oooh…. Maybe…. Good point. Very good point.

Celesse
Nope, I don’t watch tennis, so if there is a resemblance it’s coincidental.
SlopDoggy
It’s the anime, Celesse-sama. Not actual tennis. :P But all right.

I sort of see the resemblence…
Nokota
That girl, while clearly not her, looks a LOT like a certain fox we know, which may explain why Feral has a soft spot for her…
Mirza
Well.. that’s a bit weird, but nice feeling to see Feral TALKING O___O
Sitraxis
Now, the only mystery left is that how did he get that red eye? O____O
Syddles
I find it less strange that Feral’s talking than that he’s giving us a flat out smile! No strings attached!
Mekito
And a smooch!
SeleneWerewolf
I don’t think its Piper. Look at the tail. Long stripe on top, no white tip. I thought for brief moment it might be Meela’s mom, but also wrong tail.
Mirza

Random Fan
I don’t think they were saying she was Piper, just that she bared a resemblance ^-^
Rebsie
Ok what language is yuen speaking looks like sim language??!
An really good work guys I really like this page!!!!!
Algy
It’s just Lupian language.
Westly
I’m curious on how you pronounce it! :D
Algy
Eylinae is “‘Ey-lih-‘ney” :)
The 9. Street of Em's
YUEN IS HER FATHER!!! I know it!!
Mirza
Her father is Rollin, not Yuen/Feral.
Pascat
Her father is Rollin down the slope!
Baneena
When I read this comment I laughed waaaay more than I should have…and throughout the day when I remember it I just randomly burst out laughing!
Z
*whispers* Rollin in the deep~
HaloOkami
Ha! I didn’t think of that til now Z XD HaloOkami
The 9. Street of Em's
Gooosh… *face palm* I’m so stupid…

How exactly are those vowels (the “ae” in eylinae and “eo” in Meoley) pronounced? Are they diphthongs, or do they represent monophthongs that English doesn’t have, like Korean romanization?
Celesse
They are pronounced like this:
Eylinae – Aae-lihn-ae (The first and last syllables are pronounced like the letter A, so basically A-lin-a)
Meoley – May-oh-lay
Sofy
Ohhhh ok. I always thought Moeley was pronounced Molee..xD
Bluerosebud
I thought it was Mee-oh-lee. May-oh-lay sounds much nicer :)
DreamBoyMal
Cool. I’d been saying it as “Mee-o-lee” myself for the longest time. XD
Ruheya
oh gosh he looks so happy, I kinda don’t want to find out what made him so stern looking and grumpy
Treason
It’s Feral!!!

Bluerosebud
I think the “r-yellow” and “l-green” thing on that page was just because he was morphing out of looking like Meela, who did have yellow eyes.
Mandie
He would have a scar as well if he already has his red eye I think.
Also, I agree with Bluerosebud on the yellow/green thing.
Genell
then again, the scar could be caused by however he got mysteriously torn up and caused all the other scars,
the red eye could be caused by some other reason altogether.
guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Jae

That SO has to be Feral.

DreamBoyMal
There’s no way this is the same clan/village–I’m sure Yuen wouldn’t have even lived to be a teenager had he stuck around his old haunts.
Last time we saw Yuen, he was running away from home, which I think serves as a pretty clear transition to both a new time and place in his life.
Tybel
It seems they were something like engaged O.o look at they’re matching bracelets!
Cinni-mon
I think that’s more like a symbol of being boyfriend/girlfriend.
Tybel
their*
x.x
Kayla
And now I’m glad she’s not standing in Yuen’s place. This would’ve been horribly awkward otherwise.
Clamps
While this mystery girl ever open her eyes? Find out next week on Strays.
Clamps
This mystery chick also has a clan tattoo :D
KaelinaLuvsLomaris
Look at Yuen/Feral’s arms in panel 4. Quite muscular! :)
I love Meela’s look of surprise in panel 2.
It is interesting that Vihki has never opened her eyes… And the colors of her hair are QUITE similar to Avela’s….

That could very well be. Hmmm…. Yuen in a relationship with his best buddy’s sister…? I love those sorts of things. But I’m not getting my hopes up. I have to say that I am curious about what happened to Mal.
Sofy
FERALS HAPPY. AWWW HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING THAT CUTE.
Dotcom
Hmmm… Older, but still a kid (though a well-built one) as he was a young teen when Holland met him (and he had his injuries).
Dotcom
Wondering if this pretty young lady is a relative of Mal’s.
VelkynKarma
Is anyone else totally weirded out just seeing Feral actually TALKING? Lol.
Interesting…Can’t wait to see where this goes. :)
~VelkynKarma
Fiolek
And I only wonder, how this girl can just walk like that with her eyes closed all the time :P
She has to have a good nose :)
DreamBoyMal
It’s possible that she could be blind…
Random Fan
I really love how she’s not see-through until after that girl runs through her, like we don’t realize she’s not there until Meela does.
Bells
The girls tail looks like meela and she may have yello eyes like meela, mayby Feral has a soft spot for meela because of this
SilverPocky
I don’t believe that Yuen is Feral just yet, maybe a few more pages in we’ll have proof?
Dotcom
It’s already been established in the storyline and by the authors he is—unless you mean he hasn’t been renamed Feral—and that doesn’t happen until after Holland meets him.
RiaInMadness
Eylinae kinda looks blind….like she has yet to open her eyes since she came on… She even ran to him with her eyes closed.
DreamBoyMal
The author’s note states that “eylinae” is just a traditional greeting, so it’s looking to me like her name is Vihki. =)
Spearfrost
Interesting how Meela hitches a ride into Feral’s dreams when they sleep so close together.
Keenawolfwoman
Ack! Feral talking! Can’t wait for the next page!
Keep up the great work!!! XD
Jacklin Wolfgang
Omg O.o
It’s totally feral but who’s that girl??? Could it be piper???
Bluerosebud
Nah, he just called her Vihki.
Dendva
This boy is Feral?!? 0__0
Dotcom
Wild! They both have the lucky bracelets. I wonder if they shared a tribe with Meela’s father or if he had a run-in with either of them.
