oh the first shot is great and interesting!

and the last shot makes me want to cry

Anxiety is killing me. Feels like the GoT effect turned into an anthro webcomic. ......what .....will......happen.
Congrats for such an enjoyable work. !

The Cathazra are coming! *Que music*

damn

I'm guessing Amon is gonna be drugged by the leopard and be sent to the Dark Continent

I think the discussion of narcotics is not just Amon’s current condition under the Divine, but an arrangement for a true escape.

That’s my guess.

"Khajiit has wares, if you have the coin..." ;-p

The drugs they say
Are made in Mataa' Atel Shanivaar

poor amon is likely addicted, doesn't want to show it to those that try to care.

Well he was sexually abused since he was six.
So it's quite understandable that he ended up with drugs.
To numb the pain and escape his misery for at least a short period.

If you get drugged when you are six when being raped and forcefed Divine to keep you calm and silent. Then yes.

is he a drug dealer?

Haunting words.

"We Journey until we're lost"

Truth be told, Amon is lost, not wandering, but simply lost.

Is this the "Purveyor" ?

yep

Where is the Purveyor from? I don’t recognize him. Does Amon have some history with him?

Just this image I did a long time ago - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13729648/

Ah, thanks!

Absolutely.

The plot thickens .3. *eats popcorn*

Funnily , I just realized from the last box that Amon has two eye colours. It's awesome!

Deep talk.

damnnnn the cliffhanger

Rukis
I noticed that both of them have a similar nose stub.
Is there a hidden reason, or is it just coincidental?

Ooh nice catch! Maybe its a 'secret code' for divine users and dealers to recognize each other?

The leopard also has one on his brow, on the same side as the nose stub. Maybe that's part of the code (if there is one?)

Ohh good rebel Amon. That Black Leopard is a turn on and Amon is certainly looking like a fine catch now. e interesting to see him "Collect his payment".

Oh that's interesting...

Very saddening.

I don't want Amon to die. He knows that he can't be saved, and he's willing to die. But he'll die a slave. Doesn't he care about that?

What a page! The perspective in the first panel is fantastic, and the dialogue - A1, as ever. Amon comes across as so very old and weary here.

"We journey until we're lost."
Existential nihilism in a nutshell, we just keep going until we lose ourselves.

Gonna get drugged up to wash away his sorrows, seems like.

He's so fucked when he's inevitably parted with this addiction.

*gasps* Those canines in the second panel... they have... HAIR!

Maybe that's the reason why Amon looks so baffled.
The new fashion fad on the island.
Get a wig with a hair color different than your fur, and put it on top of your head.

Reminds me some of a Monty Python sketch.

Man, I could TOTALLY see a bunch of rich anthros being all over the idea of 'fake manes' in exotic colors. The newest trend in high society fashion. . . .

For real though, they're cameos. A lot of people's fursonas have hair *shrug*. What can I say?

I figured that was me, looking quite dapper. ^^

Nah there's just another character who looks a lot like yours : P You're in two shots, the dancer up there, and on a future page hanging out with the other tramps. . . er. . . dancers

I am totally down with that. *tailswish*

Oo.

Scent of the divine?

Rukis congratulations on bringing the story this far!

It not only turned into a wonderfull chapter thus far, but as a person who delves into these people their lives, I am loving the small nuances and hints you drop about in the last few pages. Especially for Amon, whilst Dhaval and Isolde also got a few, I cannot stress how much this has been an enjoyment!



From Amon's regrets he has made throughout his life, of which the Purveyor is one of them. To his admittance of love to Luther and unable to coop with it because of his past experiences, but also what the future holds. To seeing him waver with Dhaval in a sense, mostly as he sees himself in Dhaval too much and wishes to shelter him. But he knows he cannot… And to only start to realise that indeed Dhaval is there to replace him, as Amon his begun to loose his usefullness to Manjusha, partially at the behest of her mother as well.

To Isolde who showcases her feelings about Amon to Dhaval in a way and hints that Amon had a hand in her getting out of the indentured life. Yet she cannot wait forever for Amon to come to his senses on what he needs to do, starting to believe he is lost. Trying to help him, but having lost the will to do so.

To the story of Luther whome we all know, trying to understand Amon, yet with the jackal refusing unable to do so.



I know the above might have a few spoilers, but these can all be read currently. And maybe I am even wrong on a few things!... Although I doubt you'll say if any of these are 100% correct. However!


Amon:
- The Purveyor is one of Amon's previous regets, which is signalled by the nose stub… Also the person whome sells Amon drugs. Perhaps a previous lover? As signalled by Amon.
- Lord Rezanu was the man whome forcefed Amon the Divine when he was six during his first purchase (and subsequent?), who thankfully died.
- Later on Isolde comes into play when Amon is 5 years older, the two develop a somewhat romantic relationship, as far as that is able to go... With Amon eventually buying out Isolde? (As Isolde mentions that Amon has done such a thing before... Perhaps Isolde's first night? And subsequently her freedom?)
- Don Coros was the man who nearly broke Amon's back when he was in his late 20's, making the whore less usefull at his job and rely more on Divine to help his back problems.
- He purchased Dhaval's first night to preven the horrors he went through to be put upon the tiger.
- Realising Dhaval is his replacement, yet still trying to take care of him… Not wanting the guy to be stuck in this hell like he is. (As said: "Ones hell is by his own creation, unable to leave, yet destined to prevent others from entering."
- Has fallen in love with Luther and dares not admit it out of fear of having the same thing happening to him all over... Or to Luther as has been the case with the Purveyor (?)
- Sold by his mother to pay of a debt of a stolen item, only for his mother to have died of disease.
- His father to have been so near to him, to reclaim him, only to have never met the man anymore past age 3(give or take)… Betrayed by Manjusha's mother.
- To have Rajne 'honour' her deal with Amon's father Kedar, only to put him in a slow hell opposed to the fields.

Man reading this over... And I didn't even put all the theories and facts in, the above is heavy!... Are we sure Amon isn't superanthro?!

I just realised that "The Divine" is actually Opium.

That's how they make opium...

Its something a lot stronger. Hallucinogen/psychotropic flower most likely.

We jurney until we lost...

Just like Kadar did.
