Page 135: check - but only just. I apologise for the late posting hour and the hasty and less-than-stellar art (but would you believe I have recently had some equally hasty published work in my hands? That's no excuse for my own hasty stuff, but really...! *shakes head*). As it is, I'm happy I got to post at all...

I still need sleep. Which you can tell by the totally unintended innuendo in some of the stuff below :P.


***

A runaway slave boy begs Arthur to save his family from their Saxon masters. Cei doesn't trust the boy, but Arthur feels inspired. He decides to ride for Venta. And there he is going to do something everybody could have predicted. Some other people are going to try first though.




Concrit is still and always welcome :).

Great scene - and thank you for the link to the celtic sword from Rijksmuseum van Oudheden. I didn't know they could look this way.
Who are the Brothers trying to take the sword? And why don't they let their leader try first?
(And who are going to release the prisoner in the cellar?)

Most of the answers are to be found on page 136 ;).

As for the twins, they are Balin and Balan; they got named a few pages ago (129). If ever you get to read this whole thing in a more fluent way than blog post after blog post, things like names will be a LOT easier, I think :D...
