The Monster Under the Bed
“Embrace your fear.”
“Great, now I need to stage a jailbreak! “
That third pannel, the face the look,
Man! How have you improved! Good stuff, it tells everything we need to know about the girl without needing any context.
You got good, real good.
Practice does that!
If Tim found out he would attempt to go to Nox to rescue Shadow.
WHEN! Tim finds out what Shadow’s curent predicment is, his parents (Ruth {a.ka. Ruthless or Lady Blackheart} & Tom will also know.
I predict a rescue party of at least those three and maybe also Spencer (who may also be having a relationship with a cute Noxian from under HIS bed} and Craig.
There will be conflict.
I reckon that Ruth is going to be boiling and will use that encyclopaedia that she’s holding for Shadow.
There’s lots of big words in that book. Hope she uses the right ones.
It’s the words in arcane and mystickal languages that trip you up.
You MUST practise those tongue-twisters in a non-crucial environment because if you fuck one up during a spell, it can be fatal or worse.
That’s one reason practitioners are often regarded as strange and uncomfortable to be around, we mutter in unknown tongues as we’re shopping for groceries.
Innagadadavida baby!
I was more thinking Hrglaf Hralglafson, but Iron Butterfly is always (still) good.
Mxthal.
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey.
A kiddleytivey too woodenchoo. ( Back to 1944, I see)
Let’s face it, when Ruth finds out about Shadow’s imprisonment, she’s going to kick Nightmare’s ass. And the Night Mother’s ass. In fact, I’m willing to bet that everyone involved is getting their ass kicked. I’ll provide the following JonTron quote to emphasize that:
“Yes, do not worry! The beatings will come! You will be beat! There is no escape.”
You left out Terminus who well may be more of a villain than Nightmare.
I predict that Tom will give Wormy Termy “special attention” because Termy has nefarious designs on Shadow, Tom’s future (although he doesn’t know it yet) daughter-in-law to be!
Oh, Terminus won’t be getting his ass kicked. He deserves something which I like to call “The Red Forman.”
If you know, then you know.
I bet everyone in Shadow,s rescue party will go Xena Warrior Princess
and kick some serious ass.
Err…Uuuuum…I just know that Terminus has an unbeatable, evil plan. Tom, Ruthless, Tim and the rest of the good guys will fall prey to his evil machinations.
And what about Terminus’ plan on opening the forbidden doit?
If you meant a “fobidden door”. Womy already knows that he needs the blood of a hybrid because the door to “The Core” has a blood lock.
The only hybrid of which he’s aware is Tim (because Nightmare told him what she overheard Shadow telling Middy [this sounds more and more like high school gossip])
There are other possibities that Terminus may not have considered.
Tim has a human father and a Noxian mother (T+HF+NM) but Terminus has been trying with Anna (U=NF+HM)
That genetic mix may be infertile (no offspring at all!) or may produce a genetic mule (further infertility) but it may be that Tim (or his father Tom) could produce Hybrid children witth any (or all!) Noxian females.
Tom would have to survive the Wrath of Ruth if he starts to explore the possibility.
