fully unleashed Zoe is peak form, so beautifully intimidating

so whatever that creature was is attacking humans with neighbours blood (would gorgons count as neighbours?). well we dont know if Meg had too, but thats the common thread between Zoe and Nathan at least. sorta like Jasmines "pet" who was attacking those with magical nature

By some of the things that happened with Zoe... his powers seem to be in a class of their own even for gorgons, and I think it has something to do with his father being human.

Difficult to know how much this is true, for starters we don't know if his "gorgon" blood comes from The Gorgons, and even which version of them, even Medusa has many different versions, knowing this series... all of them might be true in different levels.

But by how he was treated by some of the things they dealt with... he has some heritage with the divine side of those legends, and his father being human might have stimulated his mystical genes by being an unstable element.

Things are moving, this new arc will be interesting... but absolutely heartbreaking too i bet.

At this point, it is really just me being petty, but I really don't like this reader, and I feel a lot of people dropped this series since the change, it doesn't help that after some time the chapters are taken from MD and the comment sections from those chapters disappear too, so the engagement becomes kinda null.

The comic growl links are only being updated every other month which is annoying. Between that and all the time skips, I feel like there are big gaps in the story. I like the premise of this arc a lot more than the Philomela pity party. Japanese authors love the idea of a dragon living under England, but they always seem to forget they're are supposed to be 2 dragons. There's a lot of mythologies in England to draw on, but everything about House St. George confuses me.

Trying to tie the 11th century story of Saint George and the Dragon to the actual St. George, a Cappadocian enlisted into the Roman army who was martyred in Palestine in the early 4th century is even more confusing. This guy essentially tames a giant terrifying dragon and uses it to threaten a city into converting and building a church, but later he gets tortured for 7 years and executed for his faith without anyone mentioning the whole dragonslayer thing? The two stories don't really mesh. Does that mean Roman soldiers were killing giant dragons left and right? I guess they're close enough geographically to be the same person. The city of Silene that was plagued by the dragon is supposed to be West of the Nile, or originally it was in Cappadocia so maybe it occurred before he enlisted and that's why it was never brought up in any of the martyrdom narratives?

If the whole spreading Christianity, martyrdom, and sainthood part isn't related to Violet and Jasmine's family, then why is it House St. George? Why would a noble family descended from the most venerated martyred saint in Christianity have to create the College to protect sorcery from persecution by Christians? Why are they in England and not Cappadocia or Palestine? Clearly they went there with Christian worship of St. George, so why would those same worshippers persecute sorcerers like their own saint?
