Looks like Vera is as excited to get to a scene change as I am to draw a scene change!

Per me si va nella cittá dolente
Per me si va nell’etterno dolore
Per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch’entrate
She does have a point that time has been a-wasting. Still, this move is going to be incredibly risky. Eyes peeled everyone!
They’ve been going in circles for like…16 pages!
and the bingo of “trust me while i am being actively untrustworthy” continue
this time with the “dont ask question, lets go”
This demon lack understanding about socials cues and empathy toward people with less information than she does about her own who and why . Which, to be fair, could be explained by her not having been able to leave Dis previously
Sneaking a dragon into the devil city. No biggie! :D
Bloodcarver mentioned the city in chapter 3, could that be why he’s glaring more daggers at Vera?
Strong little legs! Lithe upper body! <3
And a tongue that’s made for kissing!
So Vera gets out of Hell and moves to the Human world.
Where she is going to have one “Hell” of a time adjusting to Human society.
Am I the only one who has had the feeling for a long time that the “city” might actually be a certain gryphon’s birthplace?
I can only hope that folks in the city aren’t already going to be on the lookout for Michelle and Bloodcarver…
If the helmouths ae just open why can’t se just go trough one? Why does she need Michelle?
No doubt because of what’s guarding it.
She claims she’s too weak to opem=n one. Probably she’s too weak to useone even if it’s open. She needs Michelle and Bloodcarver even to go through an open Hellmouth.
I called it earlier, but I don’t think the Vera *only* wants to get to Earth. She needs someone to get her shelter and possibly food.
That or Vera can’t do it without some luck on her side.
That “no flying” rule is going to get tiresome really quick. Suggestion for the next scene:
They’re all standing overlooking the city. The dragon says, “well, that was a long and harrowing trip!”
Welp, I just caught up. That was amazing, and now I get to go back and re-read it to catch all (many) of the details I missed the first time around.
I note that Vera’s plan “bring everyone to the City to go through a well-known hellmouth there” is very similar to the plan “bring Michelle to the City and turn her in for social capital”. Plus, it’s likely that there are plenty of safer hellmouths around the perimeter of Dis. But the ones the dragons use are probably the most famous, so maybe Vera doesn’t know where the other ones are? On top of all that, Vera’s clearly very good at improvising, so she might be running both plans at once so she can pick the one that’s more likely to succeed at the last moment. Sooo many questions.
… speaking of hellmouths, where did the near-but-closed-ones go in the center panel? :-3
Another good question is why there supposedly aren’t any (usable) hellmouths between the boondocks (i.e., right here) and the very center. “We wanted to keep the dragons way out, but still had to give them hellmouths to use, so we installed a couple there, too” would be a neat explanation, but also effectively sinks the “the three of us can simply walk up to a downtown one” part of the plan.
… unless they’re literally integrated into the tunnels of a subway system? “Magic tunnels” demons use to commute to mortal-plane cities every morning? “Please check your disguise before the next station”? I’m putting too much thought into this … X-D
She might be running a Xanatos Gambit. Plan A, plan B, plan C… Plan C doesn’t have as good of a reward as plan A, but she still wins something.
