2: Envious
NSFW 29 views • Aug 04, 2025
The second issue descends deeper into the spiraling torment of Lucy Morningstar’s journey as she enters The Blair, a cursed forest where Envy feeds on insecurity and illusion. Haunted by whispers and echoes of self-doubt, Lucy's path becomes more psychological than physical—her memories fractured and her perception warped. As she trudges through the eerie woods, Lucy faces mirror-born monsters that twist her appearance and mimic her past regrets. A sinister version of herself appears, smirking and cruel, taunting her failures and questioning her strength. Pucklin warns her, “Not all shadows follow the light.” Meanwhile, her once-loyal hellhound, Gamora, momentarily turns against her—corrupted by the forest’s influence—forcing Lucy into a painful confrontation. The forest only grows darker as Lucy discovers scattered sigils, each one triggering fragmented visions of her childhood, her mother, and the life she was denied. With every step, Envy claws deeper into her psyche, threatening to unravel her from within. Issue #2 climaxes with Lucy reaching the Hollow Glade, where the Envy boss awaits—a fast, cunning demon that possesses allies and shifts identities mid-fight. But Lucy, hardened by the pain, overcomes the trickster in a brutal battle. The issue ends with Lucy gaining her second hellhound, Sodom, and receiving a haunting vision of her father—Lucifer himself—standing at the gates of her next trial. Themes: Identity, Doubt, Duality, Resentment New Additions: Second Hellhound: Sodom Ability Unlock: Mirror Breaker (destroys illusions) First hint of Lucifer’s presence Ominous reveal: beneath The Blair lies something older... and hungrier.
