This is a surprising page. These people are not only FAR more technologically advanced than the tigers or dragons but they have multiple species living in harmony.
And dating! Sounds like Arnet and Zmia are an unlikely item!
The plot thickens!
Let’s hope Shaleigh’s public speaking skills are up to the job!
I also just realised, Riah and Shie still have their cloaks, could they maybe access the hub by themselves?
Someone’s paying attention!
I thought we were going to be looking at a magically advanced civilization, looks like it’s technologically advanced too. I also appreciate the logic of letting the seemingly resolved situation sort itself out off-screen, or else we might ave been there for another 12 pages. +1
Thanks! When I wrote page 589, I knew I was winding down the chapter, but when Elektra delivered her line about “hope,” I realized that that was a fitting note to end on and decided to move on to what I had lined up next. Shaleigh’s presentation to the Conclave had been teased for a while I wanted to deliver on it!
This looks… VERY modern. The bar graphs, the exit sign, the fire extinguisher… Doooooon’t tell me that the realm where tigers and dragons are at war is some kind simulation. Pleeeeeease.
If it is, its characters are remarkably lifelike and even tangible!
I hope not. That’s a molecule away from “…and it was all a dream!”
Eh, I can say this because it’s not a spoiler: it’s neither a simulation nor a dream. Everything that’s happened so far both in the main story and on Draconia Lane has actually happened. Hope that helps! ^__^
It does help. 😀
interesting a conference keep doing the good work.
Thanks! Let’s hope Shaleigh’s PowerPoint skills are ready to go!
Miss Shaleigh, please take the stand.
So, Shaleigh and crew’s world is far more modern than anything the Dragons and Tigers can dream of. Projectors, electric lights, and more. The hall marks of a forward society.
But despite this the spotlight will fall on a familiar face. One candidate has already been shot down by the rapid regards of the regulators. Shaleigh is the next one to step up.
Can she stand tall, or will she face a long fall?
Let’s hope the vexing vixen’s public speaking skills are on point!
In this one comic, I suddenly and instantly feel bad for Zmia. Clearly so enthused with what she is presenting, seeming to have found success from that upward graph trend, only to be cut off before she could even finish delivering it! And from context, the idea of an ‘Endowment’ not being renewed sounds REALLY heavy. This feels like more than just a college or doctorate dissertation – being ‘discharged’ sounds life-altering. I know that narratively this is intended to set the stage and show the stakes for Shaleigh needing to show the results of all her meddling, but Zmia’s tearful face makes me wish it coulda been shown in some other way. What happens to people who fail to make the grade, here…?
Do you think Arnet will try to comfort her? Maybe that’ll let us find out more!
Hopefully she will try to comfort her, though what we hear may only make us feel more sorry for the snake lady! Cruel victim of a narrative trope…
I was wondering what was Zmia plan is
I don’t think she was planning to have her endowment revoked, so let’s hope she can form a new plan!
what is the sweet snakes dream is
So when we talk “Realms”, are we meaning Dimensions? Alternate worlds? Obviously not time travel as the same characters exist in both the main story and in Draconia Lane. I shouldn’t start myself down a theorizing rabbit hole, that’s not very respectful of the Author, because this is your story, not mine, I’m just along for the ride. I just get stupidly curious when things get even remotely SciFi or Politically Conspiracist.
Well, in regards to time, something might be going on judging by Shaleigh’s reaction to Render’s rapid maturation. Think her presentation to the Conclave will cover that?
Bated breath! Also, first time Shaleigh decloaked and in her full glory? Yes please.
Uh okay… Modern University auditorium? From Tiger/Dragon bed action, to political intrigue, to high stakes infiltration, combat stand off to this… Whelp I need a drink and white board to work this out.
