Amiable Dorsai

But he has a plan. Which means bringing in Luke. Who finds his Magic crippling and thinks of himself as a victim. He's about to meet his tormentor. Will Luke be the first to blame Hope for Pandora's crimes?

...for some reason. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5761

I've got all my Quatloos on some sort of Magical Incident at college that introduced the both to Magic and Dad to a career path that led to his current job. I still think both were involved with DGB at some point.

Oh Dan, you're such a tease! Pizza nearly ordered, major mystery still unsolved. Besides the obvious, what were the Dunkels up to before Elliot came along?

Ah, Nanase remembers how this works. I like the approach, letting Hope know that this group of mortals, at least, does not hold her responsible for Pandora's bad behavior may go a long way towards her healing. But would they consider Voltaire responsible for Ragnarok's crimes? I would, the difference being Volty's lack of remorse. Now pass the Magic pizza.

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/falsekings-096 Wow! How much guilt did Pandora hide away? And will it make it better or worse when Ellen recounts her origin story?

Makes more sense than my immediate thoughts, "Shame" does not appear to have been something Pandora was good at.

It's interesting that she chose to lock away this particular memory, Shame for how she treated Magus? For attempting to make Tedd's father a murderer?

Whoops, that's what I get for posting when I really had my attention elsewhere. Sorry about that.

Such a daddy's girl. Princess Ellen certainly is... forthright, isn't she? So where does this leave The Prince and the Family Treats Him Like a Pauper?

Is this why Pandora knew so much about the Dewitchery Diamond? I suppose I should have put this together earlier. Maybe this orders, if not dates, events. Ragnorok creates the werewolf curse. A werewolf kills Abraham's mentor, who had created a giant diamond around a scale that Ragnorok shed at some point. A nobleman kills the werewolf that got the mentor, but is bitten and becomes a werewolf. In an effort to cure the nobleman, Abraham uses his mentor's bauble to create the Dewitchery Diamond, which works to the extent that the curse is lifted, but creates a new, more dangerous werewolf who kills the nobleman and goes on to spread his curse to others who become permanent wolves who spread their curse like a plague. One of these wolves kills Blaike, and Pandora gets involved. Pandora can't kill the werewolves directly, so she organizes the rest of the Immortals to confront and ultimately kill Ragnorak. All the werewolves die when Raggy does, Pandora goes on to live way too long, and contrives to get Magus to use the Diamond to cure Elliot and create Ellen. Does that make sense?

Hoo boy! Dragon power, ijuin FTW! Presumably, Ashley will trigger the same reaction from Hope. Will Hope's oath keep her from telling them about what has her so upset?

Boy, did I have a wrong number. Princess Ellen knows her duty and plans to do it! And seems o be a bit put put over certain.. assumptions that have been made.

I've often wondered about the knock on effects of all the secrecy. Not knowing what a parental unit does to support you seems very sad. Hope looks frightened by meeting Ellen, she must have been taking a peek into the Pandora Memory Archive. This could be good.
