Terrific! I love the abruptness of it all… like NEENER NEENER you don't get to see what is going to happen between those two! The art is gorgeous! Now what about Bactine???

Panel 3 gives me chills. I love it when you make Zedwig all sinister-like!

whoa, Zedwig looks really evil. I feel so bad for Fang right now hahahha XD!!! I don't think I wanna know what crazy Zed has planned for him :-s!!!

Never, ever thought I'd feel bad for Fang but… yeah.

Before anyone starts feeling sympathetic for Fangline, but you have to remember all the terrible crimes he committed (murdering his own father, executing anyone with Schloeffel blond hair, annexing lands and killing countless of mages, etc, etc).

Oh yeah, this is karma finally knocking on Fangline's door… and it's gonna hit him hard.

Holy crap, is that the last we'll ever see of those two? Where did Zedwig take them? Awesome page, especially panel three!

I'm not convinced that Z's own crimes were just due to mind-control, so I'm hoping he's not about to get a free pass.

We know it's not over YET, but it's coming so close. *sniffle* *grin*

I love the end of this page. I mean, it's just *poof* they're gone, with Sang left to be king. Yay for Sang! And personally I rather feel Fangline will deserve everything he gets.

I wish I knew that teleport spell. Looks fun!

Yeah, I want to giggle maniacally, but it's 2am, and everyone else is asleep. >.>

I think it's so funny that Fang is wearing the same expression that Zedwig used to wear on a constant basis, while Zedwig is now delightfully sinister. It's like they completely switched facial expressions. Lovely. XD

Can't wait for NaNoWiMo, Colby! (Or whatever it is, I forget.)

now they go to have bum fun!!!!! ….. I mean agonising torture OwO

Zedwig has Fang in the sweet embrace of REVENGE! awesome.

But it's–it's the last we'll ever see of Fang and Zedwig! Now we can't make fun of them, or remark upon their 'fatal' attraction…and it's not exactly the big battle some of us might have expected…ah, well, at least Sangwine gets to take the throne without too much muss and fuss. He probably didn't want to fight, just tried to steel himself for it, and…well, at least it'll be peaceful from now on. Except for the aftermath, the finding out of who lives, who dies, who's going to rule, and who's going to fly in love and get married…

“…it's not exactly the big battle some of us might have expected…ah, well, at least Sangwine gets to take the throne without too much muss and fuss.”

I have to wonder where you've been for the entirety of this and the last chapter (and part of the previous chapter). XD It's been messy, and -everyone- has had to fight and/or die and/or be maimed, some in messier ways than others.

it reminds me of when two guys who hate each other are tossed in the same prison cell… male bonding!! on the other hand, this is a really sinister twist. i almost hope that sang never sees that man-turned-weapon again. or, at least give him 30 years to get it all out of his system.

sanguine will really have a fresh slate to start with. all his family are completely gone. he and Hope are all that remain of the old regime. i say all this because i get a lonely sort of impression from the last panel. i wonder if he was hoping that zedwig would just finish off fang and then stay there.

OOOOH!!! eeevil Zedwig face and yes, what about Bactine?

Herm…Zedwig was less maniacal and insane than I thought. Fang's “What have you done?” implied that Zed would go on a mad rampage and do much damage to all with his newfound freedom. Fang HAD to die, but I was kind of expecting Zedwig to get offed from behind. People (and elves) that get megalomania in storylines often have that happen to them. Announcing that you are going to eternally torment someone also puts one on the “die” list most of the time. But…the mechanics of that might not work because Fang would have to be dead before Zed went, and Zedwig specifically said that he had to suffer first. (If Zed died before Fang, then his appearance would be entirely pointless. The only way I could imagine Zed dying is after he killed Fang, he turns, or appears to turn, on Sang, so either Al'Bert or Bactine have a reason to kill him)

On a completely different note – what is the truth pendant going to do? The crotchety wizard gave it to him for a reason (every good king needs one)! If it doesn't play an important part, could you please explain to me what it does? Thanks!

DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT VAGUE ZEDWIG SPOILERS

“Zedwig was less maniacal and insane than I thought. Fang's “What have you done?” implied that Zed would go on a mad rampage and do much damage to all with his newfound freedom.”

Ahhh you mean in this current scene! Well, the truth is that Zedwig regained most of his sanity the instant his captivity was lifted. He still has issues, a whole lot of issues, deep-rooted trauma issues yes, and he still has a bit of loose cannon going on, but without his forced captivity to torment him, he's “feeling MUCH better, now.”

As far as Fang's “What have you done!”, well, who does Fang ever think about other than himself? He knew now he was going to be in deep crap and there was no longer anything to be done for it.

“Announcing that you are going to eternally torment someone also puts one on the “die” list most of the time.”

He doesn't intend to eternally torment Fang. He's going to do what he said he's going to do in the last page, and eternal torment isn't part of that. Yes, I already have written the outline of exactly what he's going to do and what occurs, and it's actually rather reasonable… well, most of it. He's a reasonable person at heart… traditionally, but he's been messed with a little too long.

The pendant of truth:

It does something, and the something it does has been hinted at in the past, and will be hinted at more in the future. It's very important, but not in the way one might expect. Is that vague enough, I don't know!

I agree with Lissy … the whole page is kinda lonely for Sang …
but panel 3 .. WOW. what a last glimpse of those two. I know Colby says Zedwig has regained most of his sanity, but what a role reversal in that panel – just look at their expressions!! I also love the disappearing portal in the last panel. Very cool.

And thus comes the end of Fangline Schloffel, tyrant of Scholeffelina. A fitting end, indeed.

Well done, Mrs. Purcell. Well, done.

OMG! Zedwig looks so sinisterly evil in that panel! I almost feel sorry for Fang…. But I don't know if I feel even more sorry for Sang. Bactine! We need Bactine! …. I STILL wanna know what Sangwine's middle name is!!! PLZ tell me!

Good point… But I think he's just exiled himself… :/ that count…?

Wow… Just wow. Amazing page, but, well, wow.

I love how Zedwig is getting his revenge, but a little voice in my head is nagging that two wrongs doesn't make a right.

Nnnngh, am I the only one sort of scared of Zedwig at the moment?

Panel three is so CREEPY!

Nope, most of us are afraid of him at least a little. We've all seen what he can do, after all.

Hi! Long time reader, first time comment-er and all that jazz. Wonderful work, as always, and beautiously dramatic.
To the point, I have a question which may or may not be spoilerish, but I'd like to ask anyway out of sheer, burning curiosity:

Do we get to see either Fang or Zedwig again before the story's end?

*somewhere in the far reaches of the wilderness*
Zed: Fang, fetch me that glass of kool aid.
Fang: Yes oh mighty Zedwig
Zed: *dumps it on Fang without tasting it* That is horrible. You never could make a decent glass of Kool aid could you? You are pitiful. Now, rub my feet.
Fang: Yes oh mighty Zedwig.
Zed: Ah, that's fabulous *insert evil laughter here*

Well, that's how I picture Fang's torture anyway. I think the most painful thing for him would be forced servitude; to be treated like a subordinant. hehehe…I think Zedwig is the kind of person who would pick up on things like that…

Haha! If that were to happen, I think Zedwig would be asking for pina coladas rather than cool aid

Sang is all like, “Okie dokes….” and Fang's all like, “Ow. D: ” and Zed's all like, “AH MUNNA EET CHOO!!!!!!”

8D

O.O help fang… i'm scared now for u… ZED JUST KILL HIM PLZ!!!!
and sang i mean he has to feel sorta bad for him, just a little, right? plz?
anyways, amazing!!! I LOVE the third panel!!! zed looks soooo murderous, tho… i think maybe someone lost a couple fangirls, zed!!!! (not me of course) ^-^

me neither i think i'm going crazy i'm like laughing in a scared way… yeah like histerically right now….

ah true

idk he might go crazy when he finds bactine dying on the porch… i think zed should come back and take sang to da underworld and help him find bactine… just like in Hercules!!!!!!

idk there seemed to be so many different sweet embraces before… like the i wanna kill you but i can't because of stupid jewelry thing

Definitely pina coladas.

wow thats not much of a spoiler… lol good thing i read it then lol

I'll answer your question, but let me emphasize…

—- do not read below if you don't want to know —-

No.

*BUT*

This isn't the last time I'll be drawing them (just the last time in this storyline). I'm also going to write what happens from this point between Fang and Zedwig for NaNoWriMo this year (November).

hope is a fairy, tho…

yeah we do need to figure that out… lol

Yes, it's been burning inside me! lol

Thanks very much! I'll be sure to hang around come November~

Hogarth? Jasmine? Cinderella? LOL

YAY!!! i'm not alone!

What? Where did he – go!?

I will just imagine that the vent far far away become a couple and lived happily ever after. and ignore every other possibility else. ^^

My perverted mind can't stop imagening Zedwig torturing Fanglne in an… interesting way xD Don't kill me for thinking that ^^'

um you're thinking of orfeus and euridice

Oh em gee! His coolness/mystery levels are through the roof.
I don't reckon Zedwig is crazy or evil: he's just suffered terribly for a long time.
I also don't reckon Zedwig has “eternal torment for Fang” on his to do list- I reckon he's a good guy at heart. : )
Fang's a jerk. lol.
