Howdy, New Readers! Thanks for reading Exiern!
Written by Scott T. Hicken with art by Antipus, the comic updates Mondays. Please check out the Archive to enjoy the earlier adventures of Typh and Peonie!
Exiern contains mature themes and is best for readers 18+.
Yes, it’s from an episode of South Park, where the gang have discovered some fairy folk (gnomes? elves? pixies?) have been stealing socks as the first step in their profit-making scheme.
What you said is obvious, I ask because I am genuinely confused. Basically I want to know is what I’m seeing there or am I reading to mich into this. I don’t THINK I am reading to mich into this, but the unicorn’s feelings are just ambiguous enough to be confusing to me and I’d REALLY like a second opinion here.
So does Typh have a Wolverine-like healing factor, or do they have a D&D-style cleric with healing magic in Peonie’s retinue? I ask because it feels (in the story’s timescale) like Typh got half their ribs broken only a couple hours prior to this scene. 😮
Unicorn horns have a reputation for purifying water, curing things poisoned, and generally healing. Note how quickly Typh bounced back from Faden’s Death song as soon as the unicorn came in contact with her. What I don’t understand is why the fishing village boy was not likewise healed.
It’s mixed here with envy and self-pity, but yes, Typh does care for its one-horned mount.
“At least one of us should be free”
I read it as “my life sucks and it’s not about to get any better anytime soon, but that’s no reason to bring you down with me. The least I can do is make sure YOU don’t end up caged between four walls.”
Bother? A celestial personification of Purity and Goodness, in some pantheons second only to angels and deva, deigns to travel with you, and you have the audacity to try and NAME it?? A few points:
– It HAS a name.
– You will never KNOW it’s name, to hear it’s heart-wrenchingly perfect tones would most likely destroy your brain.
– It would probably be INSULTED by whatever mortal gibberish of a nickname you tried to give it.
I think Tiff treats it with great respect – a barbarian’s respect, to be sure. She never coddles it, but does not presume to own it, either.
I worry that these port-folk may try to treat it like a horse. It’s a good way to get run through.
For the last two at least. What this about them being high in some pantheons now? Or are we talking about Kirins/Quilins?
In any case I think Tiff agrees with you about the rough treatment.
Regardless of whether the pantheon bits are accurate,
– It HAS a name.
– You will never KNOW its name. Assuming, of course, you don’t speak its language. Oh, right, you’re human, so you don’t have the auditory range to hear all of the phonemes in its language. Never mind about your linguistic skills then, you’ll never KNOW its name. You probably don’t even have the auditory range to hear all of its name. The parts that you can hear might drive you insane.
– It would almost certainly be INSULTED by whatever name you attempt to give it.
The knowledge is a tad obscure, but there is a connection between Jesus and unicorns, and unicorns are mentioned several times in the early King James Bibles.
At this point it is revealed that he is not actually a unicorn, but the evil transformer Unicron.
“You thought I was just an ordinary unicorn! But it was I, DIO!”
Unicron’s plan:
1. Assume the form of a horned horse and have a few adventures with a gender-swapped barbarian.
2. ???
3. Destroy worlds.
Um … part 2 is a bit vague …
But I Like The Results!
The World does need a little redecorating.
That’s the point of that trope: one of the middle stages is always left blank, with the last one typically “Profit”
Yes, it’s from an episode of South Park, where the gang have discovered some fairy folk (gnomes? elves? pixies?) have been stealing socks as the first step in their profit-making scheme.
I’m not sure you’re familiar with what Unicron is.
Unicron doesn’t redecorate worlds, he consumes them utterly. Unlike Galactus, who just skims the surface of nutrients.
Is it just me or is that unicorn actually attached to our MC? I mean besides the whole attracted to virgins thing.
Forget the fancy horse, it seems our MC has grown attached 😀

Guessing we will just have to wait, for all we know, Typh may have been about to have taken a long walk off of a short pier

There more Like D&D Bards but yes they can heal you in seconds.

I can’t believe it. Is Typh…crying? I didn’t realize she was so attached to that creature especially since she didn’t bother to give it a name.
They’ve been together for a long time now, it makes sense he’d be sad to part ways with the Unicorn.
