(Also, since today is Valentine’s Day, I saw fit to introduce a new tradition that nobody asked for, as well as add a new tab. So welcome the Extras tab (which will eventually contain holiday posts, guest art, etc.) As well as V-Day Smut! The NSFW label ain’t no joke. Only 18+, please.)

Panel 2
Niki: It wasn’t your fault.
Panel 3
Uba: I know that. Alexey says some magical force is changing the weather patterns. But we are a very traditional people. My father would never believe that.
Panel 4
Uba: For him, tradition is everything. You do things as your ancestors have always done. The gods provide for you when they are happy, and they deny you when they are angry. It’s a very simple system. And as long as you always follow tradition, they think, it works.
Panel 5
Bradley: Until it stops working.
Niki: What did your father do to appease them?
Uba: I don’t know. He never taught me how to talk with the gods. But whatever he did, it didn’t work.
