love the imagery of the crackling and flashes of light in the first panel, you know the moment that our loving, happy Garreth has completely snapped, and becomes as he has said a monster.
A vicious circle, where he thought he lived among honest men, but was betrayed, so now he takes their lives. as when he asked those men to sacrifice their own sister/Daughter to save their own lives, the same as he asked Sebastian, he is trying to give them a chance that his sister did not get. to do the right thing.
is that part of the curse?, besides the whole disfigurement and trying to find the honest man, maybe he HAS to kill them as he did in the past?? the curse may turn on him if he does not???
this is so better than anything on Television.
can not wait for the next update
Thank you, and yes. Garreth wasn’t really even processing fiancée=sister yet, and then he finds Beatrice dead. At that stage it was even odds if the reaction would be lashing outward or inward, but THEN he figures out his only remaining family (again, hasn’t processed the whole ‘sister’ thing) was behind her death, and. Well.
Beast definitely has a thing about betrayal and truth – that was why Beast was so hard on Sebastian when he arrived, and why it took so long for Sebastian to get through to him. However, no, the killing of the father and son (and others) wasn’t driven by the curse. The curse causes a confrontation if anything is stolen/taken(like the rose or the silverware), but because it doesn’t FORCE Beast to take any specific action AFTER the confrontation (remember, broken spell) Beast just keeps lashing out if he sees them as lying or betraying someone. Beast is trying to do right by their female relative in a twisted kind of way, but…
**winces** This is not gonna be pretty, not from any direction. I keep picturing Sebastian’s face as the tale’s being told, and he must be stark white by now. Damn, Mati, you don’t pull any punches; this is horrible and tremendously well done.
Thank you, and no, definitely not pretty. Beast isn’t trying to pretty things up or absolve himself of his actions either, so Sebastian is getting the full raw impact of what happened and what Beast did. In this instance, the narrator is painfully true to his own point of view – that is, not omnipotent, but truthful.
Garreth going crazy is definitely not a good thing and I feel every kind of horrible for him, but those fuckers totally deserve what they’re about to get. *bloodlust*
well, he is surprised now.
