Lupa does what she can to protect the surviving children of Orinn. In them she sees the people she knew, and the home she cared about. Saying good bye to Ember is hard for her to do, especially since Sela who she sees in Ember, was someone who was weak and needed protecting.
I do wonder, with everything that Lupa has been saying and doing (and now with W0lfmare’s comment that seems to lend truth/credibility to it all), if Lupa is a demon simply out of circumstances? I wonder if she turned to the The Voice for strength during/after the attack on their village, and thus she’s a demon for the strength it brings to protect those that she cares about more than anything else? I feel like that would explain so much about her, like her being at odds with many of the other demons.
I wonder if red text is genuine thought of her demon part, and it was not just a more subtle temptation.
I really like the art style of this webcomic.
Thanks!
I forgot the guards told Lupa to leave and wondered why she was staying outside at first. I’m guessing Lupa has another plan for protecting Ember since what we’ve seen so far suggests she wouldn’t stand a chance against Risaac. Or Lupa knows something about Ember that we don’t.
Lupa looks sad at the last panel. I Guess she didn’t want to let Ember go, but something told her to or at the very least knows she has to let her go. I wonder does Lupa have her associates like Flint does? Perhaps she can have them keep an eye on her at a distant, and intervene only when necessary. Lupa needs to not dwell in the past and focus on the present. Ember is still a target even with her hidden potential she is still vulnerable.
Risaac will be back and now that he is known he will probably be more direct in his interactions. There isn’t need much for the whole cloak and dagger since Ember will probably recognize him now. I do wonder what has he been doing to Ember in the past? How long was Risaac was shadowing Ember for? Was he keep some Tennins away from her and directing some nasty like Denrim to her and try and force Ember to give into her demon blood in desperation? He is probably now a bigger threat to her now more then ever.
