Title: 2026-03-01 - DMFA 2167 - A good telling off

The flight panel is really nice.
As an aside, I have only just noticed that one of Tashatani's eyes has been closed the whole time.

Ahh, Chazore was there for a reason. I forgot she was Jy's bodyguard!

Also I feel bad for Tash having to sit through ten minutes of "u hafta go now kthxbai"

I must have missed the Insectis swarm Tash spoke of.

When Tash is first introduced a few pages back, we are seeing Jy thank her for driving them away.

I mean implicitly at some point she signed her life away for the purpose of essentially traumatizing Pyroduck so I don't feel that bad for her. If Chaz could somehow keep her away from Lost Lake as well it would be a net gain for everyone involved.

Well... a net gain for everyone not aligned with Hizell.

The thing is, it seems more likely than not she has no choice but to sign her life away. Easy to imagine she'd be killed AND her sisters punished or something if she refused.

From page 1767, Kria believes that these mythos have some kind of death cult to Hizell, so they are likely to be happier about sacrificing themselves than a more rational individual - even without the empathic link.
I have wondered if Hizell is doing on a smaller scale what M'Chek did to Hishaan... harvesting souls from the mythos when they die.

It's not her refusing if she can't get to Pyroduck in the first place. Hence why it's a net gain.
Granted if she can't go rogue while on the territory of a anti-hizill foreign power (presumably due to the hive mind stopping her) that would go a fair ways to explaining Des's 'incapable of independant thought' comment.

It certainly would paint the dragon elders as a whole in a darker light. Then you would have to wonder how many dragon elders did the practice themselves. But the same could probably be said about other Creatures at that point who ran a city as a ruler of one.

As for the linked methos, from all the scenes we've seen of them, they certainly seem to be individuals. I imagine the link being used like pear pressure and family responsibility on steroids.
