197 – A Request
Darn, I forgot how I did the textures or brushes in page 156’s background. Oh well!
Thanks to BlueDavrial for trying out different words in the transliterator I’m using. Now I changed the symbols in the first panel from “sero” (zero, duh) to “bago”, which can mean “new” or “before” in Filipino. It didn’t even occur to me after all this time that Filipino doesn’t really have an original word for zero until this page!

Transcript
Haliya: Not even my followers know this, but the Bakunawa is actually my cousin, and the zeroth moon goddess representing the New Moon.
Haliya: I want to get her back to her long-neglected duties as a moon and underworld goddess. And while I'm still committed to stopping her for good, I'm reluctant to kill family, if possible.
Hibi: Oh dear...
Haliya: So if you can help me come up with a plan before my followers find her...
Cruz: Oof, I don't know if we can help...
Tammy: We can try at least!
Keith: Uh, is something important going on?
(Still can't see/hear Haliya)
(Myan is bored)
Oh I know! Offer up Keith for the night! I mean the guy seems to be real popular with ladies, at least with the mask wearing cultist types, and he doesn’t have to do anything beyond a dinner and a movie…maybe.
I’ve got a plan.
Let’s ask her nicely.
Maybe she just wants some attention and love.
Why don’t they… hiss and make up
Ah, godly relations are always a tangled mess. Having an eternal opponent who also happens to be a cousin/sibling that shares part of your duties. Mind, I think it is used to explain certain changes, such as the waxing and waning of the Moon in this case, but still gotta be hell on family gatherings.
Having power and maybe being ageless (if not immortal) complicates a lot of things
