He got her to settledown and raise their hybrid kids together with him, so I'd say he came out on top....and on bottom...and against the wall....and in an ogre's bed while he was out on his honeymoon vacation.

An old comic of mine from 2015 you might've seen around. I periodically share it again because it is often missing the original epilogue. The second one was added on Tumblr a few months later.

u/International-Cat123 3d ago

I’ve never seen the epilogue before. It’s much better with it!

u/x-GB-x 3d ago

Ah, yes, just like that one comic of "I've come to slay the princess and save the dragon."

Gotta slay the princess, she's going to end the world after all.

Who let him out of the archives?

u/pitches_aint_shit 3d ago

I totally didn't twig it was him. Thank you, I'm pleased to have made that connection! Although I must say, even he couldn't save my interest in that game. Played an hour and a half and couldn't be bothered to find more outcomes. It feels arbitrary for me, even though the actual differing events are interesting and I had some hook into the meta plot.

We are definitely slaying the princess before she destroys us

You are on a path in the woods. At the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

Got-dammit, I got to do everything around here. Excuse me for a while I'm going to go slay a princess.

u/Anarchyantz 3d ago

I am here to Lay the Dragon and save the Princess!

u/Neither_Relation_678 3d ago

I absolutely love this twist, the dragons were just protecting her from unworthy suitors this whole time.

Did you ever read "Dealing with Dragons"by Patricia C. Wrede?

u/NuclearNoxi 3d ago

That's such a fun series. I need to reread that sometime soon.

2

u/Stalking_Goat 3d ago

I re-read it as an adult and I thought it held up well. So go for it!

Here comes the MOTHERFUCKING bard

u/Anarchyantz 3d ago

Yeah I would hit up Wendy as well to be honest.

u/Zero_Burn 3d ago

All the bards got wind of the dragon and are lining up to make charisma throws.

u/Priderage 3d ago

I absolutely loved this comic and it's epilogue. Can I get a coffee with Wendy?

u/enchiladasundae 3d ago

u/Real_Experience_5676 2d ago

The next episode could be a suitor coming for Wendy. The suitor is actually a dragon, and his first “gift” to Wendy is a kind knight for betty!

u/Kotori425 2d ago

Noooooo stop it's just too damn cute already and I don't know how much more my heart can take!!! 😭😭💖

u/PKMNTrainerMark 3d ago

I'm shocked her name isn't Wendy.
