Actually, it wasn’t the same people that ate her children. Most of these orcs haven’t been even born back then, their only “crime” was that they were of the same race as the actual culprits….
Obviously didn’t mean Snark and his sister personally ate her children, butt they descended from those who did
Is Rack supposed to just go “Oh well, never mind then, I will just go play with my children…”
I’m with Dreadder: we all would have a lot of unfair paying to do. That’s one reason why immortality is so bad: it feels guilty, even if it’s just guilt of not doing enough good. Of course assuming one is empathetic, psychopaths probably don’t feel any guilt nor shame, only endless selfish desire.
@Maju No, immortality sucks because first you watch everyone you love grow old and die, then you realize that you’re growing older and older without being able to die because everyone screws up the wish. It’s not “I wish I could live forever” it’s “I wish I could be forever young and in my sexual prime, built like a Greek god and hung like a porn star. Oh, and still my original sexual orientation.” Otherwise you just keep aging and shrinking until you’re the size of a cricket and wander off into the woods to be alone for eternity.
@anifreik: that’s only if (1) others are not immortal and (2) immortality does not prevent physical decay (what is a contradiction). I was thinking rather in regular immortality: as if you (and your loved ones, everybody maybe) would be frozen in the physical optimum of around 30 y.o. (for humans) and the intellectual acme of c. 40 y.o. Even in that ideal case, you’d still carry the guilt and shame of all the errors you unavoidably commit, of all the pains you could not ease, of all the selfishness, laziness, wroth, carelessness, etc. (as long as you are empathetic).
Yeah, we do, and most actually do pay it, not just go “Oh, it wasn’t me who burnt down the forest so we could build a fifty room mansion, it was great-grandpa, we just have been living in it for the last three generations and profiting from the land!”
Eg, we had a cat who shot (and killed for a while) his enemy a rat, but in the end they worked together to help defeat the greater world destroying danger. Miss Dragon has shown ability to grow beyond the lust for petty revenge like Mr. Cat, so is potential ally in future.
I think Chasta is also right… i mean.. she said there were some people in the cave and that dragon girl killed them ( or was it accidently?) . What best option do you think the Dragon girl should be given?. Mercy/forgive? or Sacrifice for those people?..
But to me .. i dont know :/ i kinda feel sad on both ways..
Well, it’s not about retribution, or crime and punishment, it’s about cutting your losses and minimizing further casualties. I believe red dragon no longer poses any threat to anyone except Dracomage, so killing her serves no purpose.
She’s quick to forget those defenseless “people” were a about to either kill and eat her, and the people who saved her life, or force her to be a breeding slave with no free will, not to mention the people they had already, killed, eaten and enslaved. raukus’s revenge may have been misguided, but those creatures deserved to die. And now so does she.
Has anybody actually checked the cave to see just how many people were turned to ash?
When the last thing you remember after a forced centuries long nap is your unborn children being eaten by savages, let’s see how good a morning you’re having without coffee.
Chasta strikes me as a murderous bigot. A cute one, but still…
I’m still wondering if Rackus’ eye will be healed … guess I’ll find out with the next panel

heck, she might not WANT to be saved. she did ask to be slain.
Delve was trying to change her mind…but she didnt say her mind was changed.
Well … if you want to punish someone who is dying and wants to die, saving them is basically only option you have …
I don’t think Arka should do it. I’m with Chasta on this: she killed a lot of people just for misplaced revenge.
The same people who literally ate her unhatched children!
What fucking protection did they have? o_O
At least they had a life!

So the children should pay for the crimes of their ancestors? If we go by that logic, then we all have a lot of paying to do…

I think the problem is even though she is a dragon and dangerous, they may need her in the future to stop the greater world destroying danger.

Chasta’s revenge was just as pointless as red dragon’s revenge. Can we please call it even and shake hands?

Ha.. ,make sense 🙁

Well if she changes back into a dragon……

Chasta’s reason was even worse: her ancestors laughed at her when died, because a dragon ate her!
…I guess being eaten by a dragon does effect how willing you are to forgive them…
And I think she maybe a new enemy now…
Especially if sexy orc lady agrees to heal!
Lol, “sexy orc lady”, THOSE are three words you almost never see together…
Mission Accomplished!
Nice going, Top Bro! I hope they save her!
Please draw some more drow, coz they are sexy!
Wish granted!
