Parley's notion of not-teleporting and looking for other survivors pays of already with two new friends, it seems. |

Or three, unless the boy's legs just got removed by a falling rock.

The one on the right looks like kid from Foley House, judging by the marks on their forehead. Ex fairy or animal, perhaps?

Nah they're the obvious fakes to misdirect us from the fake Eglamore and Parley. Who are there to distract us from Annie being the real fake. |

You'd expect that faeries butt to be about where the green-haired one's head is, but that would mean they have superlong thighs and very short shins for it to look like it does. |

Ah page is finally here! Was it late for anyone else? Or has the US changed tome zones again and I only realise late because I'm in Europe?

Now that I think of it, these two fairies (or whatever) are not frozen. Not sure if that means everything's unfrozen now but it might. Ah page is finally here! Was it late for anyone else? Or has the US changed tome zones again and I only realise late because I'm in Europe? It was late. Showed up around 4:44 est I think. |

What's interesting is that they look like ex fairies... but then they shouldn't have been in the forest in the first place.

If you see it as if the girl's left arm is where the boy's waist is it make more sense, I think. The boy is just a little taller than the girl. |

We know Chester wasn't moved, and are still close to the border, so maybe Foley was left unmoved as well. Though, I am deeply suspicious that they're Loup. |

After complaining about the Shadow Men, that one guy and Parley discuss getting out. Parley thinks she can teleport the three of them out, but finding Cvet or any other survivors (she's pretty certain Cvet is OK) would require Smitty's help. Annie confirms that she hasn't been in contact with Renard up to now, but she's going to let him know what's been going on. Eglamore thinks it might be good to do a reccy of the area before heading home. Annie then hears a strange noise; apparently there are a couple of ... people who have just dug their way into the tunnel. Who and what are they? They look like fairies, only, well, we don't see them in the same frame as the other characters, so it's hard to guess at their size. But their ears are pointed, and one has a dot on their forehead, so they definitely could be fairies. The last time we saw a fairy of any kind was back in chapter 61, and those were human bodies with fairy souls in them. It's been since chapter 58 since we saw a proper fairy. The experience of the Forest's regional fairies since Loup's arrival has no doubt been unpleasant – either they were frozen in time with the rest of the place, or they were unable to interact with the frozen Forest. But the Forest isn't frozen anymore (The Forest Released), and that means there are probably other Forest denizens that are buried beneath tons of soil, rock, and wood. Oof. Loup probably just killed most of the Forest's life, as he clearly has no regard for the suffering of others. What isn't dead is probably dying. For fairies who were wanting to become human, this would be good – they just passed their test. But it isn't good, because we don't know where their totems containing their souls are. And then there are the ones who didn't want to pass the test. Anyway, here are these two. Who are they, and what role will they play? Do they even know where their totems are? Can they find them? For that matter, where are Coyote and Ysengrin's totems? Can totems be destroyed? |

Just thought people should be reminded that. |

I'm actually going to take the long shot here and suppose that these dorks aren't Forest faeries or Court ex-faeries, but some other type of fae-adjacent creature from the Forest. Gnomes, maybe?

I find it a little puzzling, considering the enormity of the Forest Tsunami, that so many people survived intact. Annie, That Guy & Parley, Cvet apparently, and now fairy-ish folks.... all completely undamaged?! (Well, we don't know about Cvet yet...)
A bit of wild-ish spec: maybe the Forest wave didn't kill anyone and wasn't MEANT to. Instead it was merely designed to.... invade the Court/smash the shield bubble? Delay/distract/sow chaos in the Court's plans?

Anyone else think that Annie's nose looks weird in the fifth panel? It's probably just a trick of the dim light in the cave-in.

This would make a dark piece of irony, since one of Loup's chief reasons for attacking the Court is that it was endangering the Forest. It looks like, if he does wipe out the Court and prevent it from activating the Omega Device, it'll be a Pyrrhic victory. |

Maybe Loup isn't as good at killing as he would like, either because like everyone that isn't Coyete, he can't use Coyetes powers perfectly or because Coyete built a level of safety into Loup from the start. |

Loup being the peaceful being he is, is obviously proposing a political marriage with Annie to stop the fighting. These 2 kids are part of the "bride price", house servants for Annie to do manual labour for her and help her get ready for the wedding.
I know what you are thinking... pedophile, after all Loup is less than a year old and Annie is much older, but for the sake of stopping needless bloodshed (especially Loups) rules must be bent.

With that much earth, rock & wood falling on you from 100 foot heights, www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2512its very difficult not to injure/kill things. Loup would have to work pretty hard to keep everyone safe in that chaos, ... or at least there's someone working hard to to do so. There is something strange going on here.... |
