LOL, it talks. XD I still don’t get how Ctyx got a hold of the thing, as I thought it was last seen being worn by Tiffany… oh well. I guess the magic book told him.
To add on to my previous statement, that number is equivalent to the number of happy endings achieved by listening to sentient magic items asking you to help them.
so Mira’s either dead or in a coma or under a spell……………take ur pick,
either way Cytx, you should listen to a quote from a magical philosopher who once said:
“Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.” (HP2)
He drugged her? If you’ve got to drug someone into anything you are of to a bad start. Okay, sorry, sorry, just picking on a 11 year old’s poor use of vocabulary is kinda mean even for me. Of course now I’m gonna pick on a 11 year old for not realising a suddenly talking object[1] doesn’t have his best interest at heart. That one should be clear to anyone.
Am I the only one trying to work out the geography around the castle btw?

Let’s see, Hand from an evil wizard – check, Book from an evil wizard – check, Talking amulet from an evil wizard – check, Boy suddenly knowing things and acting completely out of character – check. I really can’t see anything good coming out of this.
Hehee, spelling errors are back. Quickly! Everyone correct him! Also, not creepy at all, Ctyx, not creepy at all. Actually, it could go creepier. If this was Sexy loosers, that is.
@Cryptic, actually, “drug” is the correct word to use. It’s the past participle form of “to drag.”
Poor Mira, either she’s dead, or some really close facsimile. I don’t envy poor Ctyx here. I wouldn’t trust that pendant either, but I don’t really see any better alternatives.
This is SLIGHTLY off topic, but whatever happened to that jackass of a werebear that killed the little girl in the first place? Last i saw of him, he was about to get fried by a fireball, but one of the Uberknights intercepted it for “diplomacy”
Anyone else think that the Amulet is gonna ask the kid to “resurrect” or free Faden from his current prison? (Though Faden possessing Mira’s body wouldn’t be out of the question either… )
It’s true, I trust the book more than the medallion – but then, I’ve just met the medallion, maybe once you get past the cavernous, sepulchral voice, it’s a really nice medallion. Cytx, OTOH, is taking the first steps down Evil Villain lane. “I’ve lost the woman I love, and I hold myself vaguely responsible” is the standard starting litany.
The title of the next book is ‘To The Wild North”?? This holds promise. Tiff and Peonie out of the stifling city, back into the wilds, where Tiff is in her barbarian element. Wait, they’re always calling Tiff’s people ‘northerners’, right? Maybe we get to meet more barbarians? And Tiff has to face being a woman in the society that made her a misogynist in the first place! Yes, I look forward to this.
Firststeps, Deanatay? Cytx is well beyond first step, he’s so far down the road that’s contact real estate agents in eviltown, looking for a studio apartment with nice views of mount-evil, and a short walk from the evil-mart, doom-park, and the duck pond.
Cytx Is not Yet Evil there IS HOPE! He has yet to bye a Cloak with a Hood!
But considering the treatment he gotten being nice, Hand cut off WereBear Killed his Girl chased By guards and hunted by mob Just because… Well I Know I be Calling Nation EvilWide Agent ! And buying Alka-Seltzer Spiked Duck food ,, Makes them Explode so i am told…
I agree with David but also Strangely CrypticMirror, What if your Choice Was Victim or Villain? Or as Friedrich Nietzsche put it “Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?”
Like I said I be calling that real estate agent in eviltown!
Finally get rid of one of the two demons (by which I mean the kids) now the last surviving demon wants to do necromancy to bring the other demon back to life. Demons are the stupidest things alive. Someone should rid the world of them for good.
Don’t worry about out monstering a monster, just nuke the frelling thing from orbit. You may become a mass murderer who kills people instantly and slowly over time due to the development of cancer but who cares you killed a monster and probably a lot of demons.
Ok I have to say this…I’ve been a long time reader of this webcomic and I’ve re-read it about eleventy-bajillion times…and twice now I have seen a comment that no one has followed up on, neither fellow partrons nor writer/artist of this awesome comic and that I agree with very much and would like clarified… JUST how in the HELL did that kid get the necklace off of Typhan-knee?
Be a Producer!Your name/title with an optional SFW hyperlink will be posted prominently HERE following the close of the month! You’ll also receive monthly mailings from Exiern’s author, Scott T. Hicken!
And with this, we conclude Peonie’s homecoming.
Next week starts the next storyline in the Exiern world, “To the Wild North.” I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as you have the story so far.
I was waiting for that shoe to drop.
LOL, it talks. XD I still don’t get how Ctyx got a hold of the thing, as I thought it was last seen being worn by Tiffany… oh well. I guess the magic book told him.
Ctyx had it here, but before that it had last been seen (unless I’m much mistaken) way back here, and was gone by the next page. Very strange.
Just out of curiosity, how many storylines/chapters have there been since the beginning?
Is Mira dead or not?? I am confused.
Because SO MANY stories with happy endings began with the statement, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to bring you back.” Genre savvy, this kid ain’t.
To add on to my previous statement, that number is equivalent to the number of happy endings achieved by listening to sentient magic items asking you to help them.
No boy, don’t do it! Pull out now while you still got a chance.

Indeed.
Though for the Sake of an undead Mira in the next Arc, I still am in favour of listening to it. Once.

It’s the Eye, but he found out about Vizene.
Let’s see, Hand from an evil wizard – check, Book from an evil wizard – check, Talking amulet from an evil wizard – check, Boy suddenly knowing things and acting completely out of character – check. I really can’t see anything good coming out of this.

Dum…Dum…Duuuuuuuuum!
@Azure, really? I thought it were “dragged”, and I speak pure dead proper I does, guv.
This is SLIGHTLY off topic, but whatever happened to that jackass of a werebear that killed the little girl in the first place? Last i saw of him, he was about to get fried by a fireball, but one of the Uberknights intercepted it for “diplomacy”

Why is there scientology ads on this website ?
http://adblockplus.org/en/ < is your friend Jer
@Azure. Nope, dude. “Drag” is not an irregular verb. The correct form should be “dragged.” The sentence is in simple past tense anyway.
Ctyx, the boy with an evil sorcerer’s hand, now is having a conversation with a talking blue vagina — this cannot end well.
Yes, “drug” is incorrect usage.
No, Cytx does not know this.
Uh Oh…when the creepy necklace starts talking to you, and in a spooky red font no less, it’s time to reconsider your life path.
It’s true, I trust the book more than the medallion – but then, I’ve just met the medallion, maybe once you get past the cavernous, sepulchral voice, it’s a really nice medallion.

Yes, I look forward to this.
In case you were wondering, the second line of the standard Evil Villain litany is “I will do anything – ANYTHING – to get her back.”
Third line: “And I will destroy ANYONE who gets in my way.”
Firststeps, Deanatay? Cytx is well beyond first step, he’s so far down the road that’s contact real estate agents in eviltown, looking for a studio apartment with nice views of mount-evil, and a short walk from the evil-mart, doom-park, and the duck pond.

Cytx hasn’t intentionally done anything “evil” yet, so I think really is only on first steps.
So far he has been a victim and then a puppet.
I agree with David but also Strangely CrypticMirror, What if your Choice Was Victim or Villain? Or as Friedrich Nietzsche put it “Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?”

You can out monster a monster without being a villain.
Finally get rid of one of the two demons (by which I mean the kids) now the last surviving demon wants to do necromancy to bring the other demon back to life. Demons are the stupidest things alive. Someone should rid the world of them for good.

Good God! It’s the Eye of Sauron!
The evil eye has speech in the Diablo I Font and Red on Black speechbubble. Now that is a sure sign of evil.
Also between the book and the eye he sure has enough company to talk too for the forseeable Future.
Ok I have to say this…I’ve been a long time reader of this webcomic and I’ve re-read it about eleventy-bajillion times…and twice now I have seen a comment that no one has followed up on, neither fellow partrons nor writer/artist of this awesome comic and that I agree with very much and would like clarified… JUST how in the HELL did that kid get the necklace off of Typhan-knee?
also first time poster…like evah…
The answer to your question about the necklace is “The Mandela Effect”.
So she really is dead then. Odd, since she was hurt way less than he was when he lost his hand.
Well, I’ve enjoyed this fractured chapter.
