Glory is the first big collaboration between
Foxena and myself. She does the linework, and I make it a comic. Basically I draw the panels and do the toning and shading and tweak and move and wiggle people around and just comic it up. I also write the script.
As mentioned on the previous page, Verse did not come out of that unharmed and would very much like to staunch the burning chunk of molten metal in their hand. Someone asked if the latin is part of Verse's spell and it is not. It is Verse giving thanks where thanks are due. It's always polite to say thank you.
Fox did such cool drippy water effects for the water pouring on the hand and I hated putting the light effects over it. But I preserved what I could.

The bringing, offerring and sharing of a drink or quenching of cold water is, as I understand in many if not all Christian beliefs, both a gift and due of tremendously hospitality and courtesy, and by many Christians considered a basic obligation to the thirsty they meet in their travels or to guests in their home, second only to the offerring of the hospitality itself.
The thanking of God and blessing to His name is for relief of heat and thirst, but also to duly merit affirmation of that blessing, in both the receipt and the giving, as I have understood it professed to me and witnessed in practice.

The tradition of hospitality, including the trust of an open door and dry floor, shelter and a drink of cold water, I posit goes back far further than organized and collated religion, and more importantly is merited in belief, not that almost every major monotheistic, polytheistic or agnotheistic religion that I can think of has not built that tradition solidly and deeply into that of their pret coda and belief system.
It's one of the oldest 'social contracts' we share as a self-aware, sentient form of life, and I believe that our nature as social animals and the sharing of resources and meals together, acting on in reaction to genuine need in other humans and living things and meeting those needs, goes back as far as our ability to recognize the presence, the worth and merited value of others.
So beyond, before and behind hospitality, there is recognition, of other life and its worthiness and purpose, a parallel extension of our defined and developed self-awareness, directed outwards to our environment and its inhabitants in response to the recognition of our own selves.

Very true. It's not about reaching out to someone because you know they're at the end of their life or their will to live, it's being part of the reason they don't take that final step, or part of what draws them back into the togetherness that's waiting, if they choose to.
It's not that life or living is perfect, nor humanity itself, but what it is together is precious and it is strong, when we're strong together within it. I believe it should be a relay race, or a marathon that ideally everyone can run if they wish to, and likewise finish because they want to get to the end of that journey within the great journey they travel through life.

True. In one of my stories, my protagonist saves the life of a feral that everyone in the village where he is a slave normally kill on sight. However, later in the story, the feral proves to be a valuable ally to the protagonist and the family to whom he is enslaved. The feral (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/32887122/) known as a Kootona, is a rather large felid similar to a mix of a lion and a tiger.
