Not smart, Meela. Not smart.
No double update this week, but at least we got one page done. Our schedules are still packed, so we'll try to do the double updates when things ease up a bit.
that glowing blue rune on the ground, its a “sensor”, someone put it down to altert them of anyone entering that cave, so most likely, its someone who is expecting her to come there…. not good, not good at all.
This is a page worth staying up for. But then again the whole comic is worth staying up for.
Oh boy despite the pretty blue that rune doesn’t look good. The suspense man.
I found the instructions rather clear. If we have to run away from here, our enemies have found us. Coming back is useless because as said they found out we lived here!
Come on, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. No longer safe means no longer safe. Even more, Meela is older. I’d certainly hope that in remembering that time word for word she’d figure that no brainer out.
agree with Tk. he didn’t say NEVER come back here EVER. or this place will NEVER BE SAFE AGAIN. she may not have ever returned until now and assumed that by now it should indeed be safe. the tracker/trap possibility most likely would not have occurred to her. he needed to get more specific with his warning.
Read the description! Agly and Cel are/were in the middle of moving and house renovations, and to top it off went to a con. So I’m giving them a break.
Celesse said in an earlier comic that she accidentally made Meela look too young in the first few pages (with the flashback,) so your confusion is understandable. Judging by the other flashbacks, I want to say Meela was about four and Tannor was eleven or twelve.
AWESOME! And don’t worry about the double update, we are very grateful for the new page! THANK YOU THANK YOU THAN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Meela, you’re just making this story better and better!!! ::)
Yeahhh!!! I thought the same!!! like: If you are remembering exactly what happenened you shoulndt go in there, still she went so maybe she is giving herself away un purpose since all her family was killed and she doesnt want feral and holland to get hurt because of her.
And then, there’s the comment bellow:
“WHAT IF that rune summoned Feral and he was one of the enemies that her brother was talking about and he was trying to track down the last person in that family, and that’s Meela but he doesn’t know it’s her yet! :O MIND BLOWN AND WORRIED! Awwwww Meelaaaaa!!!!”
I too thought of that and it kinda makes sense, but at the same time, holland’s friend didn’t seem to recognize her at all even though he knows what she is and: holland’s friend –> holland –> feral = bounty or something like that, but then why were they getting so close to that place??? coincidence?
I forgot to say that indeed the rune looks somewhat like holland’s magic, in case the last part of the comment doesnt make any sense xD
Oriana
nvm, I just re-read the last page, and it seems she’s nos reaqlly listening at all
THIS IS KILLING ME!!!! I love this comic! :D

If the magic looks like Holland’s magic, it’s possible that, rather than implicating Holland, it may be implicating another Lyrian….Mithrennon, perhaps?

That was my first thought, too. Because why would you put a sensor there, but not a way to keep the target there? Meela has less than a second to get out of there!

“IT’S A TRAP!”

Why did that immediately make me think of A:TAS? xDD

Am I the only one here who doesn’t see a trap? :/

Run child
Run…..
Tk
i hate it when people give batshit crazy unspecific instructions.
how about “this place wont be safe, we can never return because of magic trackers by our hunters!”
Celesse
The reasons may have been vague, but the instructions were clear – Don’t come back. She didn’t listen.
No One
I found the instructions rather clear. If we have to run away from here, our enemies have found us. Coming back is useless because as said they found out we lived here!

Cakie
He said “CANNOT” which is more or less implied that she should NEVER return.
A Fangirl
He was talking to a 4-5 year old! And like it as not, memories like that get blurred. Plus, if you remember, he was never strict with her.
LicianDragon
Considering he’s talking to 4-5 yr old Meela, that’s a fairly reasonable explanation to give to a child. Had she been older it would have been firmer.
Mangakapoof
meela nooooo…. D; although, guys imagine if that rune summomed FERAL D:

Admiral Ackbar says: It’s a Tarp!!

No Sir, it is a play on words, google “It’s a Tarp” ;)
kitianna rumani
umm any one else having trouble seeing the page? it’s not loading for me for some reason.
Ninjix
I can’t see this page either, tried refreshing and restarting my computer but I still can’t see it.
I’m glad it’s not just me.
Ninjix
Never mind it’s seems you just have to refresh the page like 10 times.
eric
if you still can’t see it, go here

i just moved the pic to a different page, it should work for anyone now
MonsieurAwesome
Of Course it was a trap. WHY would it be anything other than a trap? WHY?
Loopy Lass
Uh oh, I’ve got a feeling that she won’t be alone for much longer. Feral hurry find Meela!

Heeeey
Didn’t you guys say there would be two story comics this week?
Irishxlily
Read the description :)
Dragon Heart
Afhhghahhgahag!! Why Meela why?? Tanner told you not to come back!!!! D:
Griffin
How old are Tannor and Meela here? How old were they when their father and brother were killed? I’m just curious and can’t figure it out…
Bluerosebud
Celesse said in an earlier comic that she accidentally made Meela look too young in the first few pages (with the flashback,) so your confusion is understandable. Judging by the other flashbacks, I want to say Meela was about four and Tannor was eleven or twelve.

*earlier comment ^ ^;
….I’m also assuming this is some time after the death.
KC
I have a bad feeling about all that. o n o
Sesshy
Am I the only one that thinks the rune looks like an eye that just opened up?
No
D: ohmyglob you’re right!
Fwanny
I guess I didn’t think about it like that, but now that I looked at it after you said that – it DOES look like an eye opening up! ::)
Fwanny
AWESOME! And don’t worry about the double update, we are very grateful for the new page! THANK YOU THANK YOU THAN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Meela, you’re just making this story better and better!!! ::)
dani
No matter how cute she is, i want to slap some serious sense into her right now. -__-
A Fangirl
Agreed.
Alva
Hmmm.. will we see an adult Mal the next pages?!
I’m curious about it.
Mary
Arggghhh!!! Not safe — Meela, what does this phrase mean to you?
Boo
Meela needs to improve her listening skills…
Yuki
Why hasn’t anyone thought that it looks like Holland’s magic?
OttosVictoria
I have the sneeking suspicion that she might have done this on purpose….
XD I love this comic!! The suspense keeps me involved!
Oriana
Yeahhh!!! I thought the same!!! like: If you are remembering exactly what happenened you shoulndt go in there, still she went so maybe she is giving herself away un purpose since all her family was killed and she doesnt want feral and holland to get hurt because of her.

THIS IS KILLING ME!!!! I love this comic! :D
Bluerosebud
If the magic looks like Holland’s magic, it’s possible that, rather than implicating Holland, it may be implicating another Lyrian….Mithrennon, perhaps?
WickedGrim
I second this idea of Lyrian!
Anon
WHAT IF that rune summoned Feral and he was one of the enemies that her brother was talking about and he was trying to track down the last person in that family, and that’s Meela but he doesn’t know it’s her yet! :O MIND BLOWN AND WORRIED! Awwwww Meelaaaaa!!!!
Jae
I wonder if that rune seals the opening so she can’t get out! D:
Quick, Meela, do it like in LoZ! Shoot the eye with an arrow to make it blink, then run like hell!
A Fangirl
That was my first thought, too. Because why would you put a sensor there, but not a way to keep the target there? Meela has less than a second to get out of there!
Lupianhunter
They see you Meela…. Lalalalala….. Better run or they’ll get you
Bee
Oh, the pacing on this page is perfect! :D
thelightedDarkness
GUYS! It looks a lot like an opened eye!
Meela is so bad at following directions… :C
UsagiOkami
Oh bad, oh bad, oh bad bad bad baaaad!!!! RUN MEELA!!!!!
