The Heretic Knowledge Vault:Current events

From The Heretic Knowledge Vault

SPOILERIFIC! Read the comic first!

As of 3 May 2007, the action is still somewhere in the boonies of Veracia, where Sarine and Jon (and Ellis) have acquired a somewhat unwilling fellow traveler: Jon's sister Sara, whom they subdued in the grand melee with her instructor, the late Warrel. She's been turned loose by Sarine, after an angry exchange between Jon and Sara in which a great deal of rage from Sara emerged, having to do with Jon leaving her to rot in an orphanage until she was rescued by the Ensigerum. (Jon basically shrugs his shoulders at this, reasoning that he didn't even know that Sara was in that "hell hole" until it was too late.) Sarine and Sara are currently engaged in a merry duel of sorts, the real purpose, not to mention seriousness, of which is not settled yet.

Back in the Ensigerum village, Anita and Paul have had a tete-a-tete on Ensigerum strategy, during which Anita has characteristically jumped to all manner of bogus conclusions about collaborations or confrontations (or maybe both at once) among the Gewehr, Veracian Church, elves, and who knows who else. Her response is equally in character: kill 'em all. We also learn that the Ensigerum have noticed an increase in the number of elves wandering around in human territories doing who-knows-what. (Of course, we, the detached readers/Greek chorus, know they're looking for Ian and Meji, who are still safely ensconced in Santuariel, but Anita doesn't know that.)

On the Santuariel front, all is quiet, but their time is coming, no doubt.
