WOW! A VERY powerful page. Great that you show that Vivianna isn’t just an all-out badass, but she does care for the consequences. Kudos!
Should’ve brought a glove in that bag of hers…
*SCREECH!*
“What was that!?”
*Rushes up to find a rather interesting scene involving a broken window, and open safe, a rainbow dagger on the floor, and a woman with her hand cut off*
Viviana: “I caught someone trying to steal from the safe and tried to stop them, but they cut my hand off and escaped through the window!”
And that’s why she’s the leader of the Shadowdancers.
Now we get see what sort of stuff Viviana is made of.
@ illeatyourself:
No, that’s why her plan is fail-safe.
Who needs hands anyway… If the worst comes to worst then she may just actually marry Ilias and no be just a fake fiancee… =)
Hmm Vivi, I think as a thief you would surely need your hands, how would you still w/o hands?? –oh wait. . .
@ goldenrhino:
Somehow I don’t think gloves would help much.
Anyway, great page.
Viviana choked! I didn’t think she was the type!
Apparently, you do.

Nay,
Having moments of self-doubt is not “choking”. Now if she were to give up, THAT would be choking.
She hasn’t given up yet.
I wonder if it’s significant that Islamic law (in some cultures, at some times) specified that the penalty for theft is… cutting off the right hand.
I bet people are beggining to wonder just where Ilias’ “fiance” is
The guy in the upper left is Baron Steppenwolf von Ponytail. He once saved a drowning infant from a river by diving in to save it without regard to the magical dry-cleaning cost, an act for which the infant’s mother did curse and berate him, whining as she was dragged off by the city guards about how he had ruined her perfectly good throw. Later he managed to shock the magic world by proving irrefuteably that 2 + 2 could indeed equal 5 if you punched your accountant hard enough in the face, disproving Erahneknurd’s theory of “Purple Stream Application in a Closed Pig Pen”.
Being affluent, his current hobby is to attend lavish parties where he likes to walk up and down the stairs, allowing him to alternate between seeing the other guests both as his venerable equals, and also as “little toads to be crushed under heel”. On occasion he is known to sob weakly in the corner if found to be attending a party in a single-story estate.

The interesting fact is that in some Islamic countries this law exists even today… But in the past this law exists not only in Islamic countries. For example in Russia there was also a law like that hundreds of years ago.
Who needs hands? *Claps.

“The fact that the cut-off hand left inside the magic safe is strangely similar to my remaining arm is purely coincidental. As is the fact that the length is a perfect match to my missing hand.” xP
She looks so scared here… I’m afraid of what Plan C is.. .-.
@ Mythril:
I think her hand just would have disintegrated
