Catharsis, part 1
This episode was not supposed to have a cliffhanger ending, but given the gravity of what sheās confessing, I couldnāt fit it all into one page; it needed some room to breathe. >!Patrons have seen the second part already.!<
The last panel is a bit dramatic, but I was trying to do a thing with it. I think it worked out pretty OK.
What exactly is her secret?
- The bride, āKayraā, is secretly a changeling - a construct made of mud and sticks that was built to replace a stolen child over two decades ago.
- (That stolen child is the real Kayra and one of this seriesās main characters; she was raised by hags, taught witchcraft, and grew up to become one herself.)
- Changelings are normally supposed to expire (or ādieā) after a few months, but this one not only survivedā¦ she grew up. And has spent her whole life masquerading as a human.
- Now sheās about to get marriedā¦ and despite multiple attempts, she still hasnāt managed to confess her secret to her betrothed.
- The ceremony has already started. But before this goes any further, she needs to get it off her chest.
Believe it or not, Love and Hex is a comedy, not a drama. It started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/existential horror story. Itās on Webtoon and other platforms. Also r/LoveAndHex. And you can find a version with a full transcript on my website.
(And Patreon if you want to skip the wait for the next part.)
Thereās also a book! Youāll find it on Amazon (just use your countryās site).
