Howdy, fellow Draconiacs!  RazorFox here.

So Kess had a few things to get off her chest.  Has Ennek spotted a crack in her armor, though?  Stay tuned…

Those of you looking for a soundtrack for this page can pull up “Cornflake Girl” by Tori Amos.

I want to thank those of you who expressed birthday wishes for me last week!  It was very thoughtful of you, and I greatly appreciate it.  We’ll see how this whole “34″ thing works out over the next twelve months.  I’ll report back with my findings in a year’s time.  ^__^

And that’s actually it for this week.  Tired.  Bed.  Now.  Take care, my fellow Draconiacs, and thanks for reading!

=RazorFox.

    Kilani really should have expected something like questions and other angry dragons so, yeah. probably should of had a backup plan to see if the races could get along. maybe a fruit basket could have been sent out.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Who doesn’t love a fruit basket, am I right? ^__^

  • Wolfheart811

    While I normally agree with Kilani in this issue, she could have done something to be the peacemaker. I mean, once Lumina was old enough to speak and understand the concept of war and peace, she could have tried to show that the tigers and dragons could live together, like they had. But no.

    In her defense, I will say that she can’t just walk to the palace with the princess. She would be killed. And that would be bad. However, she could have sent Lumina on her own and have her be a MESSENGER of peace.

    I hope that Lumina gets her memories back. And when that happens (if it ever does), may the gods have mercy on Oscura, because I don’t want to know what a Light Dragon’s temper tantrum looks like…

      All those pretty colors won’t be so pretty anymore.

      • EOTW

        You’ve proven time and time again that light dragons are one of your coolest creations. God help my computer screen from the horrors (and epicosity) of a light dragon’s fury!

        • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

          “Epicosity?” If that’s a word, then I guess I have to live up to it. I’m sure my Light Dragons won’t disappoint. ^__^

          • IG

            I’m sure it’ll be quite a light-show!

            Now where did I put those welding glasses?

      • Mr. E

        And let’s just hope my Tetsuo Shima theory DOESN’T come true.

        • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

          “Kaaa-neeeeee-daaaaaa!!”

  • MaveriKat

    Not gonna lie… I love panel Three. Just the appearance of “Flustered Mama” Kilani and “Inquisitive Teen” Lumina is too damn adorable.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      LOL! So glad you like that one, and yeah, it’s supposed to be a more adolescent rendition of “Chuki.” It’d be an extremely awkward “birds and the bees” conversation.

      “Well, baby Tigers come from (et cetera), but YOU came from an egg I found. That’s good enough, right?”

      • MaveriKat

        Ha! Would’ve been fun. Also, thanks for having told us there is meaning behind the name “Chuki”. So a gift from the enemies, huh?

        What would she have named her if the egg made her think, “Breakfast”?

  • silvermoon383

    Awww….baby Chuki is just so cute!

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      So glad she came out okay! I don’t often get to draw babies, and their proportions are really weird. Glad she came out cute! ^__^

      • Mr. E

        We all are, she is just TOO adorable! (€ ^uu^)

  • MrAMP

    *Jokingly*
    Do you think your dragon cuteness will have any affect on me? Wait a minute…it does! It’s too cute! It’s just too cute!!!

    Kidding aside, I guess Ennek might have stuck a “small” nerve there.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      We’ll see what exactly she struck soon enough… ~__^

      • MrAMP

        Shall I go ahead and prep for the CSI YEAH!!! yet?

        • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

          Dude, the CSI “Yeah” thing is always on standby when I’m around. ^__^

  • razorburn645

    Yup, Ennek is definitely my favourite Tiger now.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Ennek’s growing on me, too. Expect interesting things from her as times goes on. ~__^

  • EOTW

    I had no idea it was your birthday last week! Happy birthday! Was that line from Ennek “Kind of name you pick when you’re out of ideas” a jab at yourself for coming up with Chuki? Or am I reading too deeply?

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Eep! I already mentioned that in an earlier comment. Feel free to scroll up, but yes, it actually is a dig at how she got her Tiger name. Good catch! ^o^

      • EOTW

        My comment came before that one, so ^ THIS is the earlier comment. Not a big deal, I’m just a little OCD about it. XD

        • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

          Yeah, but I work from the top down when commenting, so while yours might have been posted first, it was responded to second.

  • DragonForLife

    The dropped crossed arms gestures that she did not mean it.

    On another note, dat pose on the top panel :3

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Glad you like it! You can actually find an uncensored version on my FA, DA, and Tumblr accounts. Check the links to the right of the comic. ~__^

      • DragonForLife

        UNCENCORED STUFF O.O

        WHY HATH THY NOT TOLD ME OF THAT BEFORETH?

        yay

  • mechafan1224

    Kess does raise some points but seems a little biased did Kilianni attempt really failed from the start, or did fail because everyone else like kess, Oscuria, etc who want the war to continue for revenge and whatever wanted it to fail. Also this chink in her armor might be a good thing maybe she will finally thinks thinks through like ok if i keep killling dragons for mom what will that accomplish, and what if all the dragons who come after me and my kind wanted revenge too.

    • Kobra

      Good points there, though I’m not shore Kess is that deep.

    • mechafan1224

      Also if she meets chuki face to face she miigght actually try to have a heart to heart. maybe that or go on a rant on how its all your fault.

      • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

        I wouldn’t give up on Kess yet. I certainly haven’t. ^__^

  • Kobra

    Was that rant of Kess’s suppose to have a point besides stating the obvious? That last part makes me think someone is in deep denile.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Might you be right? We shall find out… ~__^

    • Mr. E

      Yeah, I think she is definably hiding her true feelings about this war after witnessing Kilani’s breakdown. Lets hope Kess finds redemption soon or else things will go bad for EVERYONE.

  • Kobra

    So Ennek thinks that name for her was a cop put? I guess she could have come up with a better name?

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      It was actually a bit of a jab at myself. When Lumina was created, I already had the name “Lumina” in mind, but I wanted that to be the name Oscura gave her. I needed a name that Kilani would’ve given her. “Chuki” was chosen at the last minute to meet a deadline. The friend of an associate suggested it as allegedly being a Swahili word for “gift from my enemy.” I’ve never bothered to look it up, but racing to meet a deadline, I went with it. ^__^;;

  • Crabby

    I know that it’s just part of the rock formation in the background…However it kind of looks a little like something else between Kess’s legs on the lower panel there.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Hmmm… I’m reachin’ here, and I can kinda see what you’re talking about here, but not really. It’s just the rock formation. ^__^

  • Jerohan

    I, for one, stand with Kilani. She has shown great widsom and stength not by choosing to raise the sword, but to be the first to set it down.

    It is only a coward who kills their emotions so much that they can kill a child so easily. But is Kess so hardened? I wonder… would she have been able to walk away, or break the egg? In the end, I think that she, too, would not have had the heart. But we may never know.
    Or will we?

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      The future’s still unwritten. Kess may still surprise us. ~__^

  • Sheila

    I wonder……What if one of the dragon adopts a baby tiger?

    • http://www.facebook.com/albertt3 Albert Thompson

      yea , that what i am thinking

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Well, the whole breastfeeding thing might be a little hard to do. ^__^;

      • Kobra

        Nothing says you have to breast feed them.

    • Sheila

      Yeah, I just wonder the dragons’ views in Princess’s shoes about raising a tiger by one of them.

    • dundee402

      if i’m reading the story correctly, the dragons used too keep tigers as slaves in the passed. so a baby tiger being razed by a dragon probably wasn’t that uncommon, and depending on the owner, not so lovey dovey

  • http://twitter.com/alex_longfur alex_longfur

    Wow, hearts pouring out all around…

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Watch your step. There’s feels all over the ground. Don’t wantcha slippin’. ^__^

      • Mr. E

        *slip* whooAAAOh! *wham!* OWCH! (€ •m⊙)

  • MarcusV09

    Chuki, eh? I think I’ll go by calling her “Little Pomp”.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      “Little Pomp?” “Pomp” sounds like a sound effect. I’ll see if I can work “POMP!” into a future comic. ^__^

  • http://www.facebook.com/jack.winberry Jack Winberry

    such tension, so thick, like molasses. let’s hope forgiveness is in the near future.

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Time will tell…

  • Chocothunda

    Ennek may have slipped pass all of Kilani’s defenses with that one question. It’s a mass of frustration on Kess’ end, not knowing that your sis was raising a dragon behind your back. However, she did save them, and she didn’t spare any kind of knowledge or info (least, not any that I can think of off the top of my head.).

    Kess is right conflicted here :( .

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      And conflicted is what I’m going for. Sounds like I’ve hit the mark. Is there more to come? Stay tuned… ~__^

  • silvermoon383

    Random observation, but what happened to Ennek’s loincloth? Kess didn’t just toss it away for storytime did she?

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      It’s still there. It’s just not in any of the shots on this page. She’s not necessarily in a hurry to put it on. Tigers don’t do modesty. It’s not their thing. ^__^

  • http://www.facebook.com/BretABemis Bret Bemis

    Oh damn, I forgot! Happy birthday!

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Thanks, Bret! ^__^

      • Mr. E

        Happy Belated Birthday Razor! * (^o^)/ *

  • Kobra

    Why does Kess keep bringing up the fact that it was treason. She isn’t even part of the Tiger forces herself. So is it because she is just more concerned for Kilani?

    • http://draconia.katbox.net/ RazorFox

      Aiding the enemy is viewed as treason, regardless what kind of Tiger you are. I should include a mention of that in the comic, shouldn’t I?

      • Dorje Sylas

        I thought that was a given in a “war”. Aiding the enemy or harming your own side generally falls under that heading. Intentional or not. Military or civilian.

      • Kobra

        How was she aiding them? She took the princess and was keeping her from them. Not really aiding.

  • Surun the Scroll-writer

    A sad thing to hear that she speaks with such disdain. Perhaps Kilani’s decisions are not the wisest I admit. Even in this way that she makes such choices from her heart and that she has the right idea (peace between the tribes), admittingly it is threatening to her (and other Tigers’) safety with having taken the Princess Lumina. Though of course I do not fault her, Kess is sadly mistaken and I hope she realizes before its too late: That she loves her sister regardless of her choices.

    • Mr. E

      I agree with you bro, Kess needs to recognize her mistakes soon, or else it will consume her…

  • Kobra

    Perhaps this was about more than that. Perhaps this was just proof that a dragon and tiger can live together happily.

    • Mr. E

      Actually, I think that THIS is just a PART why the dragons and tigers can live together in peace. (€ •_•)

  • sulka

    So razor fox did you read my fan fiction or not

    • tjb123456

      he actually stated in an earlier comment that he doesn’t read the fanficts for fear of accidentally taking material of said fanficts. though that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want you to stop making them altogether.
