Scyde feels like a character that is a tad too far gone for a redemption arc and instead will have to be “removed” out of the way for change to happen.
She’s definitely complex, that’s for sure!
Don’t like the look of that splash of red in the last panel.
If the lyrics of Scyde’s theme are any indication of her mindset, I worry for Kilani here.
“You only get respect when you’re kickin’ ass!”
Man do you think scyde and elektra would have regret later on remember they both have blood on there hands
Depends on whose blood it is. If it’s Kilani’s blood, it may cause a ton of headaches for the Dragons!
I keep forgetting… How do the dragons know Kilani has a royal dispensation? Is it something she’s wearing?
Yup! Commander Sear was the first to explicitly point it out (“Those vestments!”) and Elektra has corroborated it (“Those lucky rags!”). To see their reactions, it sounds like the consequences of hurting Kilani might be pretty stiff!
can,t wait to see eone and kilani meet and formed a alliance
I wonder what would the earth dragons do if they found the evidence where scyde and elektra battled ?
Oooooh, the last time Scyde and Elektra battled, it did not end particularly well for a certain Earth Dragon.
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Kilani has captured everyone’s attention and prevented a pouring of blood from staining the landscape. But her efforts are mostly put off by Elektra and Scyde who just want her to slide out of there and not interfere. When Scyde questions Kilani on the halting of hostilities the answer she receives incenses her further until Kilani cuts in that she’s the only wall between them and death of their kin. If a single Tiger is killed their blood and the blame for their death will fall on Scyde’s shoulders.
Is incurring bloodguilt enough to stay Scyde scythe or will the tiger’s deathly determination mean another massacre is about to unfold? What of Elektra? Will she be shocked into surrender or charge ahead?
And will Elektra’s action align with that of the fiery flock that now fills the sky?
I see my aptitude for alliteration is all the rage now.
Alliteration’s always accepted and appreciated!
Something about Elektra telling Kilani to “shoo” is just something else, lol
She came up with that bit of dialogue herself! XD
Doesn’t look like Scyde’s too happy about being criticised. Will she throw aside her pride for the good of her tribe, or will she give in to need for sweet revenge? (Or whatever she and Elektra have going on, hehe)
As we’ve recently learned, Elektra’s relationship with Scyde is, let’s say, layered.
If Lady Red’s earlier behavior is any indication, the royal dispensation doesn’t just mean that dragon’s cant attack her – it means they are responsible for her safety. So if Scyde gets scythe-happy here, suddenly it’s the fault of all the dragons present for not preventing it…
Wouldn’t THAT be a look, dragons having to swoop in to save her – or even to apply healing, if there are any light dragons in the flock? Minds boggling on both sides!
That’d be a kicker, alright! Right now, though, it sounds like the rule is that Kilani shan’t be killed or injured, whether directly or via collateral damage, by Dragonkind, thus prompting Elektra’s relatively polite demands to have Kilani vamoose so that Elektra and Scyde can properly fight. Elektra said it herself when she mentioned not wanting to jeopardize her already-precarious standing with the Imperial Palace. And as for the Tigers, they want Kilani to stand trial for desertion and they can’t do that if she’s deceased, so both sides have an interest, albeit a begrudging one, in keeping Kilani alive.
And then a certain fox comes out of nowhere and-
Shaleigh would know better than getting in between a horde of Tigers and a sky full of Dragons, wouldn’t she?
So Kilani is trying to order Scyde around, while the latter is in perfect position to slice her traitor head right off her shoulders. Surely that won’t go anywhere bad.
Kilani’s definitely punching above her weight class!
