Hehehe.   "You're the worst mom ever!"  "Meep."

(mmrrr.  Did I do this right?)

Side effects...nah

[Sunny]

Such a familiar amulet causes the side-effects. Makes me wonder in conjunction to Abel's Story if Abel or his offspring might be affected by said Side Affects. :o

Lorenda, Destroyer of Cities and a Queen by her own Hoof!

Lorenda, Destroyer of Cities and a Queen by her own Hoof!      

And not too shabby a dresser. 

[Reese Tora]

Well, that answers a question in the other thread about how common transformation amulets are...

[Vraptor140]

That answers some questions about her mood. But her expression in the third panel just gives me that feeling of something going wrong.

[thegayhare]

So Kria's mom was only half right when she told her "Those things will stunt your growth"

While they do stunt growth it's in your kids

Actualy this effect makes sense to me

Kria's been wearing that amulet for how many years?  The amulet's effect is to render the bearer being like.  In Kria's case thats hiding of the wings.  So decades of constent exposure to magical energy designed to allow her to pass as a being resulted in the magical build up altering her offspring so they can more easily pass as beings.  The demonic wing trait couldn't be eliminated at this stage but it's been minimised.  Depending on the strength of the magical amulet I'd even sujest that Lorenda's ofspring might have even smaller wing spans

Long term probably means after using it for a couple years, not just one afternoon.  In a way it actually worked in Lorenda's favor, and it probably one of the main reasons Lorenda now defies Kria, since she recieves less influence and power from her demonic side.

(mmrrr.  Did I do this right?)

Your date follows ISO 8601, so I'd say yes.

Anyways, I think that Lorenda's wings and the amulet will turn out to be unrelated.  It will turn out that the studies that linked amulet use to side effects will have been flawed and based on test subjects wearing the equivalent of 500 amulets at once.

[Aridas]

Kria bought the wrong brand

But at least she's looking on the bright side (panel 3, for those of you without a clue)

[Manawolf]

Once again, her choices have most likely caused the opposite to happen.

[Fex]

hehe I like kria's expressions the first one rocks =3

Just don't come come down with hoof in mouth or mad cow disease

It probably shouldn't be an issue in this case since the terminology is 'long term', which in Kria's case would have been the past 400(+/-) years. Abel did not have near so long an exposure.

[Manawolf]

As I said, an afternoon, or a few hours, usually doesn't constitute "long term."

[LoneHowler]

Black_angel called it in the other thread "Aww...Freak out"

Hmmmm..... I wonder if she's freaking that her morphing amulet might have something to do with the size of Lorenda's wings? As far as we've seen, she's only removed it once...

[kaskar]

              You can see Kria's mindset here from two sides, Since Kria likes to go out and rampage, she has little time with her daughter. Now, if Lorenda is a bit unhappy now, they can go and let off steam rampaging, which was how Kria would have wanted it ...

[Zedd]

Side effects for a tiny winged halfbreed? Not really..But if she becomes the new overlordess...Just watch your step everyones...She'll kill us all

And I bet if she becomes the new overlordess, she will get a patch to make her wings full sized, and custom made ...   fitted ....

I do like the last pane, but I'm kind of curious as to how a lesser demon like Kria would go about destroying cities which I think are often protected by other, more powerful Creatures...

In any case it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

[kaskar]

          In this , I felt it it could have been cities of beings. Is Lost Lake , or even the Twinks city safe ? Will we see an assanation in the mall ?

Kria's stages of acceptance:

Panel One: uh-oh
Panel Two: oh frig!
Panel Three: hmmmm...

[kaskar]

        Everyone seems to forget that Lorenda was gestated all the time while the Amulet was with Kria, along with being breast fed, and all through her childhood and early adolecence, near it . If that isn't a contamination risk, what is ?

hell hath no fury like a cow scorned.

[kaskar]

              So you can see here, that a lesser demon, or even a determined but educated being, could bring cities to destruction. No wonder the Creature Council is a bit worried . But what happens if Kria's and Lorenda's loyalties go instead to Jyrras ?  The balance of power is like a pendulum, swinging back and forth ...

[GabrielsThoughts]

Lorenda has already destroyed seven cities for some unknown reason, and I'm curios why?

Also, how can Kria be certain that it is a side effect of her amulets magic. Perhaps Lorenda's father was also a demon and the fault lies with him, we all know she didn't let him live long enough to tell her any of his family history.
