Drowtales/Tear Jerker

• Vaelia's backstory, all of it.
• In this scene, Mel's anger at her situation, especially here, is really heartrending.
• Shinae, when Chrys'tel decides to leave, even handing her her crown. It's hard not to feel sorry for her in when it happens, even though the situation is partly self-inflicted

Shinae: You are not to go on your own. I am supposed to be your shadow. We were finally getting back to the good days...

• • Later, her despair upon accidentally breaking Chrys'tel's crown.
• This scene of Vaelia and Ariel, which really shows how deep their bond is.

Vaelia: I cannot become immortal, darkling. I only become dead, ghost. Same fate for children I can make.

• Naal'suul and Kiel'ndia, especially since this is Naal's Not So Stoic moment when she shows fear of her eventual death.
• After being missing for years of comic time, Ariel finally finds Faen. And it is not pretty.
• "Farewell... my... friend" Naal's death and the ensuing pages are nothing short of heartrending, especially Kiel's scream of frustration.
  • Following that, Kiel's breakdown is just as bad, and probably the only time you'll ever see a Breaking the Fourth Wall moment played for tragedy.
• This. Page. As well as the next two.
• Nau'kheol asking where Yami'ni and Jiaan are right after they jump from the ancient ship, since it's very likely that they're both dead.
