Meg didn’t exactly have an easy childhood and has a bit of a temper as a result. She’s not exactly proud of her past actions but that hasn’t turned her away from a life of thievery, either. Meg was not thrilled by Astor’s initial attempts at help but she soon came to see how valuable working with him was, especially when it came to stealing things. Once she started seeing the value in Astor’s help, Meg quickly realized what Astor’s game was and began to play along. From there they inadvertently became friends.
Meg has always fancied herself as street smart. Unfortunately for her, Meg’s abilities were actually due to her being a Demi lineage instead of her being good at reading situations. This lead to some unpleasant attention from the Soldiers of Hope who decided to bring her in once her Demi lineage status was confirmed. Meg, like most humans, is prejudiced against anything Demi in nature and was more than a little shocked and unnerved by the news that she is a Demi lineage. Of course being saved by someone you revile at the same time as your world view is being shattered makes the situation all that much more worse. Meg has come to trust Astor and know the person behind the mask, but grows increasingly annoyed with the masks he puts on when they interact with other people.

Astor, me thinketh you careth. In case you missed the message last week, the month of October will be a one update a week month starting this week. After October is over, the update schedule should go back up to two times a week.
Bjorn has no clue that the Monarch ordered the guards not to pursue. If Fae didn’t have extremely dumb luck*, there’d be a huge bounty on Bjorn and Fae’s heads right about now. While I’ve ended the last several chapters on pages like this one, this in not the last page in the chapter but… Continue reading 31
I’m so happy with the way the middle panel turned out. I’m not very comfortable with drawing backgrounds so whenever one turns out half way decent, I feel pretty good about my self. That us until I run up against the next background. I’m a bit relieved that the port city won’t show up again… Continue reading 32
If Meg knew Astor was listening, she would have said something much different.
Everyone loves Astor…according to Astor, anyway.
Too much joy has been proven to be the leading cause of grumpiness. True story. 😉
The problem with being dead is watching others grow old and die. Astor never wanted to be friends with Meg, but once Meg figured out his game the friendship was inevitable. Of course, why did Astor help Meg when he didn’t want a friend…he was kind of, sort of starting to tell the truth way… Continue reading 36
