Hello everyone! Hope you all had a nice week! :)
There isn't much to say this week, just going to remind you that we have 3 wallpapers up on Facebook and deviantArt. Also, we need a few more likes to reach one thousands likes on Facebook! So please share our page with your friends! We'll try and think of some reward if we get to one thousand! :D

NOTE: It may not be very clear, but in the first panel, it's Solaris talking. We'll try and edit that page to make it more obvious, sorry :/

Earlier on, did Solaris summon some sort of otherworldly creature that possessed Ariel's body? That's the only explanation that seems to make sense to me.

Reminds me of Giratina and the distortion world >_> *cough*

Can you submit fan art if you aren't on DA? If so, then how? Just wondering. Posted on January 10th, 2011 at 04:11AM Reply

I think they are going to have a fan-art gallery in a section of this website pretty soon (or at least, they mentioned it in previous posts) and you should be able to post your fan-art there. Posted on January 10th, 2011 at 11:30AM

I should have mentioned that before. You can send us your fanart by email it to "fanart@aikoniacomic.com" or by uploading them on facebook or anywhere you want and link it to us through our facebook page. Posted on January 10th, 2011 at 11:34AM

My current theory still remains at demonic possession. Assuming that Solaris made a pact with demons for power, the dialogue still makes a lot of sense. Posted on January 10th, 2011 at 03:33PM Reply

Brian said:
Hmm...

Solaris was created by some entity from the plane of magic. Although considering these events, it's possible it's not native from such a place. Either way, Solaris is using Ariel as a vessel for it no doubt. This creature and Solaris may very well have been planning this for quite a while. So in a way it's conspiracy, although there's definitely some possession in the matter.

So it's a bit of possession and conspiracy too.

I'm wondering what creature could be possibly controlling Ariel's body. Posted on January 10th, 2011 at 07:20PM Reply

Wait wait wait, Cyd is wearing sandals, she's wearing sandals, and yet in http://www.aikoniacomic.com/index.php?id=18 she's wearing strange-looking boots. What?

I look at these things, because I have nothing better to do with my life. Posted on January 10th, 2011 at 09:35PM Reply

Fantasia said:
I have some thing to point out here;
"Ariel has served on the council longer than anyone else, besides Solaris."
That is the first line of Ariel's cast page. My guess is that Solaris is not an average human being and is somehow connected to the other plane from which he came and brought along a high power being with him. Then all said being had to do was inhabit a human and start serving under Solaris. What if Ariel isn't really Ariel? What is she's some kind of powerful other being who took over some helpless human who doesn't even know she's possessed and hasn't been able to have full control until Solaris had his dark magic party and killed Syd. (Though I still can't for the life of me figure out why Syd was in their way and deserved to be killed)

Annnnnd now strange Ariel has made her appearance and she can walk up walls. Look look! Her feet are glowing blue the same color of her dragon pet/thing!

Another thing that no one mentioned, what are you starting tonight you strange evil other worldly beings, Solaris and Ariel? Posted on January 10th, 2011 at 11:31PM Reply

Points of interest:

Well I'm finding hilarious how no one seem to suspect a thing so far... They just made a DENT on a marble pillar. Surely someone is going to remark it.

I posted a comment on the one where Syd turns to stone, but I realised that nobody's reading them anymore. Because only idiots would post them. Yay for copy/paste.

"I may have missed this in the comments, but everybody is so wrapped up with Syd that they're not noticing the magic going on. The mage with the red-rimmed robes is shooting magic at the blue-rimmed made and HE'S the one turning Syd to stone.

With a tum sound." Posted on January 13th, 2011 at 03:13PM Reply

no one is going to mention that she said "IT WAS I WHO CREATED YOU!" mebbe that means Solaris isnt a human being and is just some sort of magical creature made by demon-Ariel
