Whenever you touch your drawing tablet, it will randomly switch off and then back on. (Oh wait, that's just me dealing with static in the winter.)

Maybe Brand learned a few things from Suzocon. That's a smart way to at least get one brood out from under Vetra's shadow. By acting the tyrant they expect Saida to be, Brand made them... more free.

Well played Raybrand. You'll make a knight out of yourself yet.

Ehh, not going to lie i am not a huge fan of this. As Brand is kinda Forcing The entire community to split up. Like sure they might be free. But they will never see their friends and family again. Its like Brand is forcing them to go into self impose exile. Forcing them to wonder the world without a home with the fear of a curse placed upon them. A curse that Makes it so they can never touch another person.

And the worst bit is. He did not pass this threw sadia. I noticed something as these past comics kinda shown. Sadia is getting more and more Uncomfortable with brand. Least when they talk about anything that upsets him. She rarely seems to look at him. Always either looking away or having a very scrunched up defensive posture. Maybe this is because she feels same about her own society. Or that his anger is starting to get to her. or maybe i am reading into it to much, hard to say really.

Still i don't think Forcing them into self imposed exile is a way to fix this things. Also if he keeps this up he might Accidentally Fry one of the birds.

Is the new free colony to know where the order came from or is it a secret from them also to protect Saida?

Hmm, i don't really know to be honest. As to me i don't think this is to Actual Help saida. As Brand really really really really hates the queltz. I think this entire thing is purely out of spite. As where are these Birds going to take the eggs? Their in the middle of an ocean.

Side note, I really don't think Sadia is or ever was a tyrant. When we first saw her she was so happy and friendly. Just wanting to help people. She was even willing to get Brands wings back the correct way, by trying to be diplomatic and talk to the queen. Sadia is going to be so upset at what is going on right now. As regardless of the reason for this. Brand is kinda tormenting the birds of this village. Like not to belabor a point but can you imagine being forced to take an egg and Fly out into the horizon, with the thought that you will Never see your family again. because if you do you will be cursed, forever.

Talk about missing the point...

Its not that Saida is a tyrant. It's that they EXPECT her to be one. Brand is simply giving them what they expect, and even his threat of a curse is a rediculous one. That doesn't stop them from taking it seriously.

Also, if this works, it begins the undermining of Vetra. A free Ave colony is not going to take kindly to being threatened and might actually fight back. At the least it gives her something ELSE to worry about besides our heroes.

Might it blow up? Yep. But sometimes you have to take risks.

Kinda feel like rewriting this. As i want to Allow you to understand what i am getting at. As Brand Might not be the best person for this.

Look, we all know that The Queltz are up to something. What exactly they are doing with the orb is unknown. Are they trying to reunite it with the Uber god and end existance. Who knows, but we can only go on with What we actual know. And that is the birds Do not hate the Queltz. In fact every time we see them they are Almost unnaturally happy. Worst bit is, Their are Birds who have authority over the Queltz, Least the younger ones. This is why i do not think they Actual view them as tyrants or evil. In fact one could argue getting to live in a floating palace, meeting the gods and getting to live a life of relative luxury. Might actual be a sweat gig if you think about it.

That said, who is the one saying this? Who is the one saying the birds are Slaves? Who is the one doing everything? Brand, a Volcano dragon with a very long history of hatred for the Queltz. He hated them sense the first time they were introduced. He hated the whole Gemstone for Rain thing. He hated everything about them. He even hated sadia for a good portion of the story. As if you recall Sadia was the one who attacked him when he freed her from the cage. In short Brand thinks they are pure evil. Hell just look at what he thinks of Sadia?

He is pretending to be sadia true nature. A tyrannical evil lighting snake that yells at people to get what they want. When we all know Sadia is one of, If not the nicest person in Rainburn. Even her brother knew that. Yet you see Brand Yell at people because he is in all honesty Kinda bad at social stuff. So when he messes up he Just yells at them. Like hey do not question what i am saying. Something i think Sadia would Never actual say.

Combine this with the fact that His plan to Save the eggs. Is to Not only force the birds of the tribe to Take them and Run away. But do so without even telling where they are going. In other words she is forcing them to go into exile. Without even a plan how to even do it. Just hey Find me a bunch of birds to take the eggs and Never speak of this again.

And the worst bit is, He never told anyone else about his plan. He is not willing to let anyone else have a say in this. He is so Self confident that this will work. That he clearly has not thought this threw. And we all know how poorly that is going to be. As i Doubt the queltz losing a few eggs will amount to anything. As for all we know they have a 50 other islands filled with birds. And the birds left in exile will be so scared that they will get cursed. That they ironically will become more oppressed by brand then they were by Queen Verra.
