Ch3 22
He doesn’t look angry at all. Also, Hasera is now covered in Abyssal Wyrm goo. I’m sure that stuff is easy to get out of hair. Funny how Lark seems completely void of the stuff… Probably has something to do with that protection spell Hasera put on him, am I right?
Let’s hope those innards sell enough to pay for the house.
And when did Hasera put a protection spell on him?
Obviously right before the monster ate Lark – otherwise, he’d be dead… … Right?
Perhaps Lark’s curse came with a protection spell attached, but he always attributed his protection (from all those perils) to his Guardians.
Pretty much what I was thinking. Everywhere he goes he finds danger, but he’s perfectly protected against it.
Given that the gods of this world all seem to be two-sides-of-the-coin deities, it would fit perfectly for him to have both a blessing and a curse… or for Cursed With Awesome and Blessed With Suck to be common tropes in general.
Mind you, that could be more reason why Hass is a good choice of Guardian… if he really needs one at all, that is.
These are some of the mysteries to be unraveled throughout the entirety of the story. For now, I can guarantee you this: it has to do with the Gods.
A all-around protection spell seems a bit much. That would almost completely make his curse an additional blessing. Beating the monster would just be his daily exercise. Then he gets his free drinks, and women. He shouldn’t have that much protection. But he climbs out merely short a set of clothes, and without any blood or other mess. Of course our artist might have been sloppy, or just likes drawing a half-naked Lark, but it is more likely something is going on.
One idea might be that he takes the luck from his assistant, who usually doesn’t survive the battle as a result. In that case, our girl is lucky to be alive, but maybe she is unable/unwilling to give up all her luck or maybe her own battleskills win the fight before all her luck is exhausted.
But Lark has some kryptonite around.
Well that’s the thing – it’s entirely possible that it WAS considered to be a blessing. Maybe whichever god granted it (if that’s the source) thought fighting all the time was a good thing and Lark disagrees, possibly because of the collateral damage. Or perhaps the blessing is that he can defeat any monster without being harmed and always be in the right place and the right time to fight the monster.
Or maybe Lark is unknowingly the resurrection of Que’Lan, and the three gods that offed him are trying to finish the job.
*Pulls back some bushes and starts scribbling notes down*
Well there we have it: he has reappeared. That was a fair amount of pages!
Ahhhhh ahahahahahah…. YEAH protection spell… (wth are you talking about Lark?)
And no. That’s NOT grape flavored.
How do you know that abyssal wurm ichor isn’t grape flavoured?
Protection spell…..right….um so I don’t how to break this to you, but I can’t heal or do protections spells, but hey I can make pretty ice sculptures. Silver linings and all. That is how I imagine that all going.
Actually, we only know she can’t do healing spells. Nothing in the early part of this story hints she cannot do protection spells. I am, however, half-expecting her to say (or to at least think) that she didn’t cast such a spell on Lark. I’m also half-expecting she will be too embarrassed to admit she didn’t think of doing that. Even though Jim here has tried to get folks here to think she did. Only one way to find out what happens next, about that…
Actually back at the beginning of Chapter 2 (http://myherocomic.com/comic/ch2-04) Lu states, “Right no Protection Spells”, indicating that Hass can’t preform them either.
OK, I stand corrected (I had only reviewed just the first chapter, for any mention of protection spells).
I don’t want to know what you’ve got under your arms Lark.
