Mary's Downfall

Trace transforming Mary (Raine's mother and ex-Grand Templar) into a white wolf like Euchre as his twisted idea of poetic justice during the overthrow of the Templar. Once changed, Mary was suddenly unable to use magic without crystals and thus unable to fight back any longer. Suggested by SpeedLimit!

Her life is ruined as Trace just stares down at her blankly... This aint even the worst thing hes done!

Lexio

Man, that is brutal... but I agree. I can imagine her process being similar

Silent Thunder

Damn, this is dark. Would love to see more.

Tevin Escobar

1. This would make a great backstory for the comic. 2. This would be awesome in color.

UnawfulPlayz

I would like to see this, too! I wouldn’t mind sacrificing sketches or side comic updates for that. :)

FuryoftheStars

Glad we're finally seeing more of the untold past in the story <3

Steve Gloria

It's at those moments that I wish to a full re-drawing of the firsts pages >w> !! (But it would really deeply slow down the updates TwT)

Man that page takes me back! You've improved so much over the years Tom! It's so cool to see!

Keimori

No you're right, there is a page where it shows Trace turning Mary into a keidran and calling for the guards and lying to them by saying Mary was a keidran trying to steal some of the Grand Templars cloths if I remember correctly.

To see how he took the Templar from being a school/semi independent organization that focused on magic, to being a secret police force that basically runs the entire nation, making the king a puppet leader, and having quite large and advanced fighting force.

Supreme Leader Porg

Part of the bleeding was from wht appeared to be a fight beforehand, but that doesn't make it any less painful unfortunately for her

Supreme Leader Porg

Am I crazy, or was there a sketch/page somewhere where it was Trace after just transforming Mary where he called for the guards saying something like there's a wolf trying in the grand templars clothes. I thought it was in the flashback scene in chapter 3, but I guess it's not. Am I just remembering something that isn't real or?

Supreme Leader Porg

Tchaikovsky for new templar. No magic, just a huge symphony... And 21 CANNONS

Ghost 0-2

Yeah, she definitely ended up being much less of a bitch as she initially appeared. Even though in this picture she's... literally a bitch.

Argonwolf

I hope this gets colored

Colonel Fox

Is me or I would like to see a side comic of hold things like how he overtook the old templar

chill

Keith Keiser

wow

Jeez

Caleb H.

ouch that gotta hurt, even bleeding because of it

AdventurerWill

LOL.

Mary: AUTOBOTS, TRANSFORM! (Turns into a giant robot.) Trace: Oh crap, I cast the wrong transformation spell on her!

SCD

It is page 52 of the comic. Trace was having a flashback.

noxamillion

Euchre doesn't seem to suffer any pain from his Perfect Transformation, and Raine doesn't either. I'd suggest the pain we're seeing here is either from the battle she just fought with Trace (no doubt the cause of the blood from her mouth), or Trace changed the spell to cause a painful transformation. One could argue that Evil!Trace appears to have not only mastered but improved on Euchre's original spell, as Euchre hasn't shown the ability to permanently transform others, or perform partial transformations (like Trace did to Karen).

steelabjur

This looks extremely unpleasant. Poor Mary! She is far from a saint, but still. We laugh about transformation when Nora does it... at least Nora's work isn't cruel. Don't forget that Mary worked with Neutral to get her human form back.

Ordithus

And again, a beautifully expressive sketch by Tom.👍😍 Damn I wish I could draw faces that well... That the transformation is painful is just natural since one's jaws and legs get completely deformed. Which is why I believe that old Trace must have had a good side to him when he made the collar, since it apparently has an extra spell cast on it to dull the pain of the transformation. Because of that it would be nice if Tom if he could somehow analyze or dissect at least some of the finer details of some of Trace's spells. But that's just an idea of mine :)

Miftox 01

I'm surprised Mary didn't brainwash Raine into seeking revenge against Trace no matter what... or did some kind of possession on her daughter who she no longer viewed as a daughter for being tainted with keidran blood to be made into a super mage/soldier to kill Trace...

Doubtful but that would've been a beautiful twist of irony.

Inglorious Bastard

That sure does look particularly painful

Keith Keiser

D:

Thunderclap421

i wouldn't say that, i heard she was a bigger monster than old trace was.

Kevin Cason

Poor Mary.

DiDiDi-X

I wouldn't mind seeing this one get colored.

LadyDragoness Serpant

It's gonna be a little funny if she's been planning for years to get revenge on Trace by turning him into a Keidran and when they finally meet up again that's actually what he wants.

ArcadeDragon

Yep, been reading since 04 and the progress over the past decade and a half has been astounding. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!

ArcadeDragon

I have a feeling that's going to change. The group is heading straight to her, and she doesn't seem the type to let go of grudges easily. I don't think she'll care that new Trace is essentially a different person, she'll want revenge.

ArcadeDragon

Clicked the link and was blown away by the amazing progress in art skill since I started reading years ago. Gosh, I forgot that had even happened!

InkFire

Really happy to see this get redrawn. It's a pretty pivotal moment of backstory for the comic and one of the casts least well known members.

Quinn Malachite

It looked painful before. Now with the impressive art skills, ouch! The darker side of transformations here.

Calvin-Skye

Tom needs to do a history recap because I don't remember any of this stuff.
