Directions of Destiny

Now this is an intesting way of making his golemness known. I like the way you did this ^^

annoh..first post? w00

yes yes.. *interesting
bah >_<

Dare I say it? It's Mini-Mei!

<_< >_>

Interesting point of revelation to Azalea. Also: everyone looking cool. :)

Damn. Great work.
I was so proud to know that zerstorer meant destroyer in German, and now you've gone and changed to Greek! no fair!
Still, the artwork is of a much higher quality this time around, and the plot is unravelling in an even more exciting way.

"Of course, one would presume a golem to be destroyed after a wound straight to the heart... but... as I'm sure you are quite aware, Azalea... golems do not have hearts to begin with."

Dougal just gets cooler by the minute! :D Without doubt my favourite character in this comic.

I hope we'll see more of the battles soon...

The vote incentives this week are TOO ADORABLE. Awwww, little Ryan in overalls and little Mei with IBKOD. *_____*

And great update too. :D

Ekshatos sounds better then Zerstörer.

Ooh, I just love these pages ^_^ I really like how Douglas reveals himself. (And the vote incentives make me squee!)

Mmmmhh... Douglas looks really.. um, 'BL material' XD WOOH!

So Douglas has a will eh? Well great update i like how you made him known but it still doesnt explain why Azalea standing behind the tree and not helping.

Woo i wasnt expecting that. 0.o
Is Azalea with Douglas or behind the tree? And the thing with douglas a flashback?....i need to read it again.

Hrm. You tantalize! But I love the way you've done the story alongside the battle, and then Douglas just undressing in front of Azalea.

Holy sexiness! Douglas...OMG!!!

The Libelle pics in this chapter look like great bookmarks.

I love these child pics.

AND YOU'VE SHIPPED MY PRINTS!!!! AHHHH!!!!

I'm so sad I won't be able to see you at AE with Dina Situ. I love both of you. GRAAHHH!

There's a good bookmark of Xin too with his dragon thing. I thought your heart was more to the left not in the center but whatever.

yay! awesome update!! he's like freaky!!!

Technically even though he was wounded in the heart, that might not be where the scar was formed. Like, if he was shot from an angle (or even shot at all, I don't know the details). Oh heck, I'm no doctor.

I-I mostly just thought the scar looked better in the center of his chest than a little to the side. () EITHER WAY, apparently it's not hitting any hearts, so whatever! Teehee >_>()()

*o*
I love Xin.

Ohohoh... Douglas is HAWT. Even with that gigantor scar.

Hey hey hey, maybe it was a cut from the SIDE.
It only LOOKS like it's in the center, but it's ANGLED. haHA!!
... that wouldn't be straight then, though... ehh.

Ok... Azalea?
Where I come from, if a creepy guy (that you didn't like in the first place) with crazy feathers /leaves on his head starts MONOLOGUING, and then takes off his shirt, it's time to break out the pepper spray. Or, I suppose, the giant awesome magic cat.

All right, sorry, just being crazy. A little.
I don't mean no harm XP

^_^ Hans your comic ROCKS!
Have fun at AnimeEXPO~!!

Whoa. Douglas both scares the bejesus out of my and makes me love him because of his insanity. I want another update!

Little Mei and baby/version 1.0(?) ibkod are adorable too.

Monologuing and then stripping in front of the princess of a five-star institute is so much fun X]

Seriously, it is.

This comic is so awesome! Be even cooler as an anime. Now THAT would be spectacular.

Monologuing? To me it looks like he's talking to Azalea all the time...

But those feathers ARE weird.

While monologuing / stripping is certainly among the most awesome of pastimes, I am going to debunk the rumour that any such thing occurs on these pages through a reconstruction of the script (helpfully rendered in Charlie Brown adult-speak).

Douglas: Wahwah. Wah?
Azalea: Wah wah wah wah.
Douglas: Wah wah?
Azalea: Wah wah wah, wahwah wah wah... wahwah.
Douglas: Wahwah...
Azalea: Wah wah. Wah wah wah wah wah...
Douglas: Wah! Wah wah wah wah, wah wahwah... wah wah wah wah.

1.5 sentence statement at the end of a conversation =/= monologue

This is geometry.

But actually, the real reason I wanted to comment was just so I could brag that I had already seen / licked the panel of shirtless Douglas weeks before any of you even knew that it existed. before any of you even knew that it existed.

I'm pretty sure the heart IS more or less at the center of your chest--however, since your left side is the side that pumps out the blood, it's where you listen for it...?

I think??

O ya, I forgot about that! The heart is a midline organ! :D

Also wtf my <3 disappeared even though I wrote it in ASCII

HOMG Doug's exposing himself!

He's fired and tagged on Google:Sexual Predator!

...the police in my city actually have that in their cars. It's pretty funny.

* Totally an Azalea/Eskhatos shipper now! * * Totally an Azalea/Eskhatos shipper now! *

O.O wow...awesome.
I like the way Dougal made his golum-ness known.

Ya know, I think Eskhantos/Douglas is more intimidating in his "human" form than he is in his "golem" form. Maybe it has something to do with his hair do and change of color. I dunno. Or the leaves. Has to be the leaves. Ya know, I think Eskhantos/Douglas is more intimidating in his "human" form than he is in his "golem" form. Maybe it has something to do with his hair do and change of color.

Yeah, the leaves just make you want to stir fry his head and eat it with ramen.

Whoo! Things are moving now! ^^! Wonderful!! :D =D

Douglas had better watch out for leaf-eating herbivorous animals when he's in golem form...*CRUNCH*

D-Douglas had better watch out for me when he's in any form. *slurp*

They should just raise an army of caterpillars and sick it on him in his sleep. Then Silla can have whatever's left. I just noticed that it's a new month and the votes start over. Everyone to the polls!

No sloppy seconds! D:<

I like the new flashback. I think it makes it more interesting this way, as well as explaining a whole lot more. But I wonder, if Azalea knows that golems don't have hearts, then either she doesn't have a heart (or something weird like that because she's the child of her parents) or she knows her mother didn't have a heart because she was a golem (thus knowing golems personally) or even both. It was only a remark in passing by Douglas, but he knows that she knows, and her knowledge must come from somewhere.

:)

PS: And yes, everyone looks pretty cool, scars and battle positions and all :).

*haunts hans in teh AX*
haaaans i want j00r mangas ;_;

Akung what the crap are you saying?

The golem seems to have some connection to Azalea's mother - actually, in the old version it almost seemed like it was created from her. Yet, in this new version it was created hundreds of years ago, thus implying that she was a golem when she gave Azalea birth, perhaps being able to shapshift or something. This is how I understood it...

However, I'm inclined to believe that in this new version the connection between Azalea's mother and Douglas is different.

In Predirection, the Golem-Mage War was still fought 200 years ago. Ergo, Zerstorer is about that old.

Btw, what's with all this about Magnolia being (or somehow related to/involved with) a golem? Am I the only one that didn't get that impression from anything I've read thus far?

No because I'm not getting it either. I'm still not sure what everyone is saying but it kind of sounds like Douglas being a golem lets him shapeshift so that his previous form was actually Magnolia. Or that Magnolia is just another golem and when she gave birth to Azalea she either does or doesn't have a heart. That also makes me think about how when Azalea got sick Douglas took care of her and Luka said that before Magnolia always took care of her and now I'm starting to confuse myself. Thinking is a hard task.

Fweeee!!! I'll see you at AX tomorrow! ;D I saw you on monday but I didn't realize you were doing free sketches, so now I'll ask for one! :3 See you tuesday!

Thank you Hans! I love my Xin with IBCOD (Cow of Doom)!!! You're the bestestest!

Fantastic!!! Way better than Predirection!!! Suspense is killing me . . . Is there an early update on the horizon?

I don't understand that Douglas/Magnolia/Golem stuff, and all those previous posts are seriously confusing me. Can anyone clarify?

I wish I could tell you something anonymous but I don't understand it muhself. But I feel no shame in feeling confused and stupid.
