Spring Cleaning (Patreon)

As it's been decades since the Nightfolk "de-cursed" the Tieflings that lived in the Human Kingdoms of Terrelai and turned them into Imps, the cozy old homes that the Tieflings used to live in have long been abandoned. And although the Reality Shift a few years ago made the Tieflings into much more humble people, their magical talents were still strong and extensive. And their homes were exposed to much of it...

In a terrible rainstorm, our Eggtagonist Human serendipitously discovers one of the abandoned Tiefling villages and takes shelter within one of the subterranean little cubbyholes. He also finds that although old and dusty, the little home is by all accounts in a fairly good state. The furniture is sturdy and solid, the wood-fire stove still has dry wood piled next to it and the dishes and cooking equipment are all whole. Although they are very filthy. But as luck would have it, if he just melts some snow on the stove he could clean them up in no time! And even more fortuitously, the larder was enchanted with a preservation charm that kept most of the food in a good state.

"Time's a'wasting!" The Human proclaimed and started to clean the home so vigorously that they hardly noticed how tight the apron started fitting around their chest. And they had to remember to duck underneath the iron-wrought chandelier or else their horns would get stuck.

"Wait, when did I grow horns?" She thought to herself as she tied her hair into a bun while looking in a mirror. Not that it mattered, there was still dust to sweep away. Not to mention the snow she dragged in with her hooves from the outside.

Soon enough, the old abandoned cubbyhole looked anything but abandoned. And it's new owner looked nothing like she had when she first entered. Now an adorably homely-looking Tiefling lady instead.

[Seventh Realm, human male to female Tiefling. In this we see what Tieflings looked like after the Reality Shift, but before most of them were "de-cursed" by the Nightfolk/Halflings. This is also what Tieflings look like in the Orcish Khanates and north of the Galrian Kingdoms.]

I'm really sorry that my output has been really slow this month. As usual I don't like to whinge about these things but my other job has been horribly mismanaged by our boss who in her 30 years of experience decided that we wouldn't need summer temp workers during this vacation period and that my vacation request wasn't worthy of being remembered.

I also have to admit that I've been feeling very, very out of phase when it comes to my art this month so I'm probably going to try something different with the next comic.

As always, thanks for your patience and I hope you like this comic <3
