Alt text: Sorry for the lateness (and this sorta boring page) the next ones will be coming much faster. I am recovering from illness.

Yeah, kinda figured it was Raine's transformation back again. At least she's taking it better this time.

EDIT: Yay, I got one! First post! *does a three-second happy dance*

[stumblinbear]

In my opinion, she looks better as a Keidran anyway.

Well, you could've done worse as I think this may have been the perfect opportunity to Troll the entire community and give us only one panel consisting of Sythe rushing out of the tent to see what's wrong and not let the story progressed any further.

How much faster will be coming out?

What was ailing you anyway? The flu? Food poisoning? One of those simple yet utterly annoying colds? Also, did whatever you have cause you to not even be able to make simple sketches?

[Tesla Foxtrot]

AAAAAANNND NOW! We need keidran translation...

[DariusL]

I'll have to agree with you.

[lemurvid]

Not sure why, but I'm getting a mild Scythe x Raine shipping vibe from this page. Not that Mrs. Nibbly would allow such a thing, of course.

Given that Raine was raised as a human among humans, it would be rather strange if she was writing in keidran. Even if she is literate in keidran, it probably wouldn't be the language she'd default to when jotting notes for herself. I would have suggested that they might be the written form of human, pointing out that there's nothing requiring 'human' to actually equal 'english' and that the usual assumption is that everything in the comic is being translated for our benefit, except for the fact that Tom has always had stuff like signs/etc written in english as well. So, absent that possibility, I imagine those are probably intended to represent magic runes or the 'language of magic' or something along those lines.

[The Rookie]

Two steps forward, one step back. At least she's made some progress with the transformation stuff

Oh God, Nibbly looks so proud of herself in that last pannel

[Zylver]

In my opinion, she looks better as a Keidran anyway.

I'll have to agree with you.

And my axe! Oh, wait- that's another story Still I approve as well!

[JayJayForce]

Just as I was starting to get worried, Tom updates
Looks like I wont be needing a Sangoma after all. Do you know how hard it is to find a genuine one in between all these phonies?

Thought it would be her transformations causing the ruckus. I really hope she starts shifting more often so we can see all of her beautiful forms. The Hybrid form may have been too much of a shock for some people though. You can only deal with so much just after waking up before you suffer brain fail.

Gah! Don't give him ideas!

Nibbly almost looks like she understood that. She is way to clever and adorable to be an ordinary squirrel.

One more thing.
Raine: WHERE IS THE ASSASSIN? Please tell me you've been keeping an eye on him and he's still safely unconscious and tied to a tree off panel.

I'd guess that's more likely the language of magic, as used by the Templars. Remember who Raine's mother is, and I'm sure I remember Trace using a similar script a couple of times when he uses magic.

It's similar to runes already inscribed on the manacles. I'm guessing she's working her way toward a ritual to repair the metal and hit the wall at the end. You can see she frantically scratched out the last section.

Yep. Language of Magic.

I think the literal translation is:

Code: Select all

Breakage be Undone, and let Form Original return.

Scratched out part:

Code: Select all

I do not like being sick.

I to agree that I think Raine is better in wolf form.

Nor Red.

Raine: WHERE IS THE ASSASSIN? Please tell me you've been keeping an eye on him and he's still safely unconscious and tied to a tree off panel.

I doubt she would be focused on her own face if he wasn't still tied to his tree and she can't be stupid enough to stop watching him to concentrate on making her fur disappear.
And I'm still wondering how they're going to obtain the answer they want.

[MuonNeutrino]

Possibly stupid question, but are you just speculating here or do you mean that it literally actually is a language and you have some kind of key to it? (If so, gimme! )
