Bloodline 219
Edit: Updated and now there’s a error message at the top. I’ll fix it after I sleep.
There’s a lot going on in this page, so it took a while. It’s nice to get that lively feel in a page though, it’s not something I can usually do with my weekly schedule. Also in regards to the late update, New fun game + time consuming page + family stuff swept out the last leg of my buffer, so I’ll have some catching up to do this next few days XD
I’m also planning on updating the characters page soon. The chapter 2 page will be chapter 2+3, and I’ll be updating portraits and adding characters (Like Veera and Elane). I’ll announce it here when it’s ready!
In other words, there are more demons than just Flint looking for her. Great…
Good luck Ember!
So there are those keeping an eye on Ember this entire time. I wonder if those that were keeping an eye on her were maybe helping Ember behind the scenes. Seeing when she and Bernin left they knew very little of the outside world, though Bernin ran into Cormac’s group he was able to quickly settle in with them where/what did Ember do for the past three years? Perhaps some odd jobs time to time so she is able to afford food, and a roof over her head?
When Ember and Bernin first left did they even know what a reader is? How did Ember evade readers when she first stumbled into her first town? Perhaps she was lucky at first and there were no readers around, but she still had to evade them for three years so that’s maybe why I think if some Non-demon voice followers were watching her perhaps they were also working behind the scenes in keeping them away from her.
However one part I am wondering is when I assume it’s Lupa saying this: “end any Tennin branches.” does that mean if Bernin, Ember, or Cole have any children there is a chance they will not have demon blood in them? So what Elane said about Ember isn’t entirely true? Or at least this isn’t well known to the Tennin.
Also on a side note, I can’t wait for the character updates for Chapter 2 & 3. I am definitely looking forward in knowing more about Veera, and Elane. So I can come up with more crackpot theories.
I thought maybe it meant the demons don’t want any children born from one of their powerful bloodlines brought up as Tennin because they could become a threat. So if any of them have a child the demons want to either secure the child’s loyalty or kill it. Which is pretty much their attitude towards Flint’s children as well.
But are they really a Tennin? Take Bernin for example right now he is considered a Tennin, but as we know if Flint scratches Bernin with that claw it would awaken his demon blood. I doubt the claw will have the same effect on lets say Cormac as he has no demon lineage. So Bernin can sort of be like a sleeper agent, though he can still attempt to resist like Ember, but he’ll be raising red flags to any and all readers around him despite his intentions.
I was wondering if say Bernin got together with a Tennin and had a child; would that child have any demon blood? As Bernin hasn’t had his demon side awaken meaning it is “inactive” would that create Memeelis branch without any demon blood thus a Tennin line?
Whoops… this was meant to reply to jbw, but I forgot to click the reply button…
So this feels extremely relevant to the comic’s title…
