Firstly, Happy New Year!! May it be the best ever!! (if only wishing it would make it so!)
So, Previous Page, Jamie commented that it may be crueler to maim someone, leaving them to die, than to just kill them outright. El Cid suggested it's probably better to just kill them period (bash heads in)!! Not gonna disagree with either of those, but characters don't always do what be we think should be done! While Rhiaan seems like she could kill if needed (and maybe has), she certainly doesn't want to, and seems to want to leave a way out for the injured (although with a certain awareness of superiority)! As said, doing what maybe should be done doesn't always happen (plus, was the fight, which she seemed eager to get into, even necessary - see next page).
And what the Heck just happened with this Kai-Pact thing!! No matter what it does, seems very un-hygienic right?! (but be aware that biology, and knowledge of it, might not be quite the same as in our world)! In any case, you'll see Kai-Pacts a good bit more in the coming pages!! (and you can always peek in on the glossary if you want more detail about them)
Life and Good Dreams!

Hmm. "She felt a strand of his essence tie with hers" sounds familiar...

Haha love the pact process, it's almost kissing but not quite. :)

Kai pact... is it kinda an indirect kiss?... French, perhaps?...
KimLuster at 6:46AM, Jan. 4, 2018
Haha sure let's go with that!

It'll be like you never met me... except the scars and lifelong lingering recurring pain.
KimLuster at 9:03AM, Jan. 2, 2018
Uh... I fell... ;)
El Cid at 7:07AM, Jan. 2, 2018
And happy New Year!
KimLuster at 9:03AM, Jan. 2, 2018
ditto :D

I guess everyone's going to have a different interpretation of "with great power, comes great responsibility." One could argue that, if these creeps heal up and then go on to slaughter a few dozen families over the coming years, it's at least partially her fault, as she had the power to prevent it and no apparent social obligation to give them clemency. But I guess you could also say that would be playing God, and that's not her job either.

True! From a certain point of view, Batman, able to end the Joker many times and not doing so, is responsible for many of the murders the Joker committed afterwards! But once you start thinking that way, you're gonna become a Tyrant (so they say...)

Happy 2018! And if I were her, I wouldn't be so lenient on him! But you know, it's probably part of the culture so I'm not one to nitpick I guess :S...
KimLuster at 9:01AM, Jan. 2, 2018
Ha, no not really - she just can't bring her self to go all 'Punisher' on people... I'd probably be like that too

Have a great new year.
plymayer at 9:11PM, Jan. 1, 2018
She's too kind to those who would not be.
KimLuster at 9:00AM, Jan. 2, 2018
Yeah! Seems that's always the case! and Happy New Year to you too!

Interesting this...pact. You're character designs are very realistic
KimLuster at 8:59AM, Jan. 2, 2018
Thanks! You'll see more of this Kai-stuff later on!
jerrie at 8:30AM, Jan. 1, 2018
love the description of the battle! great stuff
KimLuster at 8:59AM, Jan. 2, 2018
Thanks!

Kai-pact does have some historical precedents and the touching of spit is a bit more hygienic than the intermixing of blood.
KimLuster at 8:59AM, Jan. 2, 2018
Thanks! I looked up some of that stuff - very interesting! And in this culture, some sort of bonding really does occur!
bravo1102 at 8:05AM, Jan. 1, 2018
Great depiction of a culture both alien and familiar.
