And it will be quite a tale indeed. My god this needs to be a live action movie! Some of the best writers ever on this webcomic and one fantastic artist! Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 12:13AM Reply

Drose, Ira and Katie didnt do ALL the work, as much of a good job as they do/did, they have support.

As for quite a tale, totally just set the "next button" to go back 50 pages, but have a sub function to change the comics borders to a giant speech bubble ;) Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 12:35PM

The Council's gone, Cyril is perhaps the most senior mage around. Go, Cyril! Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 01:05AM Reply

Cyril IS on the council. Yeesh, when will you guys finally acknowledge that? :P Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 05:17AM

Nay, Sheikah. Cyril IS the Council! Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 12:31PM

MattxAus replied:

Most senior mage*. The guy never got back to change the records to say he is now a council member. Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 12:36PM

And so Cyril starts to tell them everything:

Well the question is will the soldiers believe Cyril? And, will the hold Cyril responsible? Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 03:28AM Reply

I'm starting to think that Cyril is the main character of this web comic. Who else thinks that's a legitimate statement? Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 03:53AM Reply

Sheikah replied:

It seemed pretty obvious to me, I can't really see who else it could have been...
Though I suppose it's one of those stories with a whole lot of main characters, and one of them is the MAIN main character, but the fact sometimes seems ambiguous because of all the other 'mains' getting their own occasional spotlight. Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 05:20AM

I meant Main main character when i said that so yeah i agree with you :) Posted on May 21st, 2013 at 05:43AM

Ruby replied:

Yeah, honestly, I consider that a flaw with this comic (I mean, they're hard to find, but I found one) since there is no definite main character, I had trouble identifying and rooting for the story. I didn't know who to bond with, you know? Posted on May 21st, 2013 at 09:23PM

Sheikah replied:

Lots of stories give you multiple facets to follow, they expect you to either sort of pick one or follow them all. It's not as confusing as it sounds, either. Posted on May 22nd, 2013 at 02:00PM

MattxAus replied:

I believe the master puppeteer of this twisted tale is none other than... THE ORC.
no one would suspect a wounded berserker warrior orc as the mastermind mage, pulling the strings of the council and demons everywhere. IT'S THE PERFECT COVER! Posted on May 23rd, 2013 at 03:53AM

So the brainwashed students had some kind of magic connection to the creature and when it died their brains started getting 404 errors? Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 09:49AM Reply

It would appear they were quite conscious while under the spell. A prisoner in their own bodies. I can see there being trauma induced. Posted on May 20th, 2013 at 12:33PM

OMG your so right i could totally see him having the voice from the Marine captain's son in None Piece (one piece abridged)! XD Posted on May 21st, 2013 at 05:48AM

Am I the only one that has only now noticed Cyril's hair?

Well apparently hes just got one strip of black hair going down the middle. What an odd way to style your hair for a mage in this time period. Posted on May 22nd, 2013 at 03:44AM

MattxAus replied:

naw hes got a head of hair, just it has a significant advance of hair in the center of his forehead, kinda like an M shape. most people have something similar, at least early on. anyway, go to http://aikoniacomic.com/cast.php and click on the grey tab, look for cyril.

Sheikah replied:

I've often speculated on what his hair looks like at the back, as we never see him with his hood down. I figured he has short hair, but who knows, maybe he's got a ponytail under there. Posted on May 22nd, 2013 at 02:03PM

MattxAus replied:

Maybe he has a glorious mane right down to the small of his back, due to an alchemical accident at age 6? Posted on May 23rd, 2013 at 03:50AM

ShadowDragoonFTW replied:

That "M-shaped significant advancement of hair" is called a Widow's Peak.

MattxAus replied:

ah so that's what it is called. i remember someone a few years ago mentioning something about hair types, and it being called an "angel" something-a-rather, but i guess not. Posted on May 23rd, 2013 at 11:32PM
