By the way! The immensely talented Spellu (of the amazing Black Gate:INTS fame) sent me a belated birthday gift today, and it is BEAUTIFUL~~~ :D <333
Gosh isn't it amazing? <3 You can see the bigger version in the gallery~! :D <333 Thank you so much Spellu for expending your talent for this gorgeous Nemi piece~!! ;w;* <333 (Definitely check out BG if you haven't already O_O)
See you guys on Friday! :)
(Please click to go to the DA journal entry that describes this in more detail :) There are also side-by-side panel comparisons in this journal if you'd like to see the difference between the old and redrawn strips!)
Well, given the history of people in power... probably greed, self interest, or the removal of a rival power.
We do have evidence that he is not a very pleasant person, and given what we know it would be a huge plot twist for him to be working for a goal like saving the world from the people with the power to destroy it (see Lethians.) I suppose it would be possible, but that would take a lot of explaining of other actions so far...
Madou you have so many emoticons, how did you hide them all? XD
I think Abel might believe that Lethians can counteract whatever it is he plans, so he's getting rid of them asap. I dunno what his plans are, but it probably involves floods and stuff. Maybe. *grasping at nonexistent straws*
Also, remember what I said a long time ago about people getting their legs chopped if anyone so much as harms a hair on Seia's head? It's still a valid threat.
He hides a lot of them under my cats. The other day I couldn't find my gosh-darn phone for ages and then I eventually found it under my sleeping cat. MADOU!
Anyway, you and I both know those straws aren't quite nonexistent but XDDD hmmm possibly ;D
And, well... Seia should be fine, he's untouchable! Right? ...Right?
.*_____________*.
Bad, tricky, hooded person, bad!
(I.still.love.you.dont.worry)
I really wonder what's going on now.
This is a test, right? If she uses Lethiance, then he wants her to save the world? Because she's the only one who can? :o I hope I'm not stupid here :P
Oh no...OH NO. Madou I don't like your plans. RUN KYLIE. D: I agree with MST3K, this is probably going to be like opening an exploding door, or if she doesn't agree to, I fear for more beat-down. The emotions are so strong on this page, T_T man I feel for Kylie...
From the beginning I kind of figured his goal was to force her to use her lethiace so that part isn't all that suppressing. It fits with my theary that something purposely caused her to slip up and kill her village back then and/or it wasn't her fault. I'm less confident as to why someone would do that unless my crazy theory about her brother being Able is correct. Either way her bro is deff part of the reason.
I'm much more surprised to hear the Silver Mage (Able) has been offing ice mages and the ONLY TWO LEFT ALIVE are her and Seia (who has the maufia after him). So ALL the Ice users in the entire gild have been off-ed and no one noticed??? Wtf? Who is running this army? Or is Kylie just really out of the loop and Seia just never bothered to warn her? How is she just now leaning of this?
Okay, we don't know how many ice users there even were in the guild. And how many of those were caught on mission without witnesses to report who actually got to them. So there might not have been that many to begin with. And those killed before might have been considered fallen to the usual dangers of the job by the guild.
I don't recall how many elemental types are in SF, however assuming it's the normal 4 and that ice is distributed evenly with the other 3 that means ONE FOUTH of the guild has been off-ed. No mater the size that's type of death rate is not "normal" and worth looking into in and of itself. As soon as someone dose it'd be pretty apparent pretty quickly that they are all ice users. After that it shouldn't take much imagination to put two and two together and figure out it's purposeful and you should probably warn the last two ice users in existence.
True, we don't know how large the guild is, however the smaller the guild the more everyone knows everyone else and the more it should be apparent to everyone that something abnormal is happening. The larger the clan the bigger the death count and the more waves it should make. Either way I don't see them missing this.
Hahaha, okay Headgamer, I'll give some brief answers and then let the following chapter explain it in more detail. But first, there are more than four types of lethiaces, and second, the elements are not evenly distributed among the Knights, and third, there is more than one branch of Lethian Guild HQs. Hope this helps you understand better why things may not be as transparent as you are supposing. :) but all that aside, is Madou even telling the truth? Lol. Anyway hope that helps!
So basically a bunch of my assumptions are wrong (as happens with assumptions). XD But that dose make more sense. :)
And for some reason I'm inclined to believe Madou is telling the truth (at least mostly). This is of course despite the fact he spend most of this chapter leading the party in to a trap so don't ask me why I do.
We know from the law of main characters that there is something special about Kylie and for all extensive purposes Madou will be helping Kylie by restoring her ice lethiace. He's definitely up to something that's not 100% allied with Able's plans or else he'd have TPed Cain and not messed with Kylie. We just have no idea what his motivations are... Yet. Regardless he's fast becoming one of my favorite characters next to Cain.
OoooooOOOOOooh!! This is so exciting! So many questions to be answered. :O And somehow I'm getting the vibe that Madou might not be too firmly on Abel's side. Hmmm... He definitely has his own agenda too.
...and lots of emoticons... XD
...so he tries to get her to use her lethiace - I hope she will freeze him a bit '^_^
So, why does abel want to destroy the lethians??? O_O
Hmm, why DOES Abel want to destroy the Lethian Knights? Any takers on this one? :P
We do have evidence that he is not a very pleasant person, and given what we know it would be a huge plot twist for him to be working for a goal like saving the world from the people with the power to destroy it (see Lethians.)

What are you up to, Madou? Ohhh, I must know!
Oh no Rufi don't you dare kill off Madou here D: Nuuuu
As to whether Madou dies that's really up to him. He's staking his life on this >_>!!
I think Abel might believe that Lethians can counteract whatever it is he plans, so he's getting rid of them asap. I dunno what his plans are, but it probably involves floods and stuff. Maybe. *grasping at nonexistent straws*

And, well... Seia should be fine, he's untouchable! Right? ...Right?
You can do it Kylie! Obliterate him!!! You just have to BO-lieve! XD
And there's a lot more where that one came from! Believe that!
Hmm, she sure has the power to obliterate him. And the whole area. XD
Bad, tricky, hooded person, bad!
(I.still.love.you.dont.worry)
I really wonder what's going on now.
This is a test, right? If she uses Lethiance, then he wants her to save the world? Because she's the only one who can? :o I hope I'm not stupid here :P
Hmm~ a test... perhaps. ;D What could he be testing her for...?
O___O
XD;;;;
Like unlocking an exploding door.
Or maybe I'm just going to shake this bottle of soda up and leave the cap closed XD
(AND PLOT DEVICE)!!Awww Spellu, I'm glad you're feeling for Kylie~! >.< She needs all the support she can get for what's coming next ;D
And is this shock enough for Kylie to overcome her control problems? It might prove enough of a counterpoint to her memories.
Kylie's pretty shocked alright. Will that help or make it worse? :P
But maybe not evil.

As for how much Seia knows, well... We'll see... ;)
(Thanks Lukkai XD)
Kidding aside, think of it as one of his quirks :)
Plus, hands off of Seia Abel! >:|
To be technical, Abel won't put his hands anywhere near Seia... XD;;;
