You know, as we’ve seen with Weyland, it is possible using magic to literally and deliberately retcon reality. What if the lie that was used to create Maga’s order actually created the Dragon via the same sort of magical retcon?
She doesn’t say that that Dragon doesn’t exist – she says that the Dragon they swore allegiance to doesn’t. I take that as a figure of speech… that the Dragon unquestionably exists, but it’s not what they thought it was.
Oh i read a story like that wher aliens introduce us to our myths and legends the MC watches Jehovah on a late night talk show try to exsplain that while omnipitant hes limited in what he can do by human dogma
Chekhov’s gun has also yet to be fired. Back at the very beginning, well before we learned that stories could change the world, there were several mentions of a fantasy author who wrote about monsters like those that invaded the first world before they existed there: http://www.useswordonmonster.com/?comic=2013-05-03
There is basically zero chance that was scenery. I am thinking that author is trying to push the dragon around and the dragon is fighting back.
The irony would be if the Dragon is forcing Aaron to write a comic strip about an author writing how the world changes by writing a story about adventures facing a dragon that changes reality . . .
Gah, these priests make me so mad. “We’re arresting you when you’re not even on our property because you’re near our temple and we decided arbitrarily that you were trying to steal something you claim you didn’t even know was here and made no effort to get at. In fact, we’re putting you closer to it NOW by throwing you in our prison than if we’d just let you wander off and kept an eye out for you returning!”
The narrative domination magics must be running so thick that a drunkard with a migraine would be thinking more clearly.
Wow. Betrayal after betrayal visited upon Maga. I hope we’re going to get some more background on what’s going on.
I think exposition is coming, it’s been a few chapters since we got any so we’re about due.
And yet, Oz fought with the Dragon at one point.

I notice that Maga doesn’t deny that she’s a thief, just that she’s not there as a thief.
Well this whoel adventure began with Maga getting caught stealing diamonds…so….
We met Maga at a jewel heist, so ya, been a thief.
I note that the guy on the left is dual-wielding Keyblades.
They’re also the sigil of his order, so.

That was a combined slam at JRR Tolkien and George Martin, mainly used to set tone for the strip. I seriously doubt it will be mentioned again.

Clearly their true holy symbol is the Idiot Ball.
Doesn’t that describe most rulers and organizations in fiction?
