I liked this panel so much that I wanted to show it without the other ones obstructing it. At the same time, it didn't feel right making the real comic page just be this panel. Pacing is such a funky thing and I'm still learning.

I hope you like this towel clad Drake in the mirror. Don't worry, the mirror isn't actually made of one-way glass. It just liked the concept of looking through the back.

Drake wipes away the condensation from the mirror to get a better idea of what he looks like as a human. He comments on how his injuries could've been much worse. As he continues to examine himself he spies something strange~

(Hello readers! I hope you all had a lovely Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

Drake seems to be taking his human form predicament a bit better now. I wonder if this isn't the first time he has been polymorphed into another species?
His biggest concern now is that he has no idea how to fix it. Perhaps a hint lies in the strange marking on his back?
Anyhoo~ the next page will be a bonus image of the first panel by itself because I'm super proud of how it looks and got sad when I had to put other panels on top. There will still be another real page update in two weeks. So see you next time!)

Just as Drake finishes trying to recall all that happened before he was transported to Earth- his head started to feel dizzy again. So he opts to get out of the shower before he injures himself more via slipping.

He doesn't want to impose on Iris any more than he already has to. Plus, he doesn't want to get her tangled up in his strange fate.

The room is quite steamy. After drying himself off a bit he notices the mirror that has fogged over.

He has yet to see what he really looks like in this new human form~

(Holy Moly dear readers. Life is kicking my ass lately and it has not let up (family emergencies). I'm so sorry for all the delays. I'm doing my best to give you all a beautiful comic to read in a timely manner. I hope this page was worth the wait. Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. I appreciate each and every one of you that reads this little story of mine~)

Drake Remembers presenting the Ruined Crypt job request to his party members. He regrets ever taking it off the request board.

He recalls the rest of his party's tragic death and how he was prepared to die along with them. He voices his confusion as to why/how he is still alive while watching the bloody water go down the tub drain.

(Hello my faithful readers! sorry for the delay. My power had gone out for a while and it made finishing this page impossible till today. Anywhoodles, Drake will be leaving the shower soon. I promise. Then we can get back to seeing him and Iris interacting again. See you in two weeks~!)

Drake hops in the shower. He appreciates that the water does in fact get warm. Then he proceeds to pump a bunch of shampoo all over the place. He washes his hair and body. But when he goes to wash his wings... he is reminded that he has lost them. All of his draconic limbs are gone now. His mind seems to be spiraling to a dark place.

(Hello my precious readers!!! Sorry for the late upload. My workstation had been disrupted by rain leaking from the roof. So I was behind on the rendering stage for this very detailed page. I hope you all are enjoying the view regardless of sad dragon hours. There will only be one or two more pages of shower time for him. After that, it's Iris' turn! See you on two weeks for the next page~)

We open this chapter with the cover art showing Iris finishing her cleanup of the apartment and having a drink. Along with Drake in her apartment bathroom starting to undress.

The next page shows Drake taking off his braies (medieval boxers) and dropping them on top of his other soiled clothes. That last piece ends up covering up a smattering of shiny objects that fell out of his other clothes.

He is annoyed by how much the simple act of undressing is causing him so much pain.
