I'd protest. The OTHER guy was also a magic user. His eyes glowed even when he wasn't about to die, go check back. (Note: If you're going to say 'when he was attacked' note that Flora's eyes didn't glow when one of those dragons nearly got her, too.)
HIS eyes glowed when HE was using magic. As for the last couple times, figure that he was using a spell, and then trying to use a spell before he died.
Oh, and the tower is still the same.

Couldn't it just be so, that their eyes glows just for the sake of getting a evil look? Or it might be as Sage is saying, that the power is flowing from trace's hand though her body, and for some reason it appeares in her eyes. Trace's eyes glowing cause of him using the power and in Floras cause of the power hurting her, or well it might help her to... who knows, i just cant w8 untill wendsday, sad thing its a loooong day tommorow. And yes Jarchra u got a point ^^. The one thing i wonder most is... well if the red hairtops and red eyes resemble him being evil... he's normal for some mere time or what? Or does he just disguese himself? TOM?

Now i thought i made that really clear, at least VimoZ got it... - Trace's Hand is glowing yellow -- and her eyes are glowing the same yellow -- we know the other guy could use magic -- I dont think Flora can use magic. My English isnt that bad I'm sure... i see it this way - He grabs her by the neck - no glowing eyes - next panel her eyes are glowing yellow and Trace's hand is glowing yellow -- anyways for dramatic effect i would have made Keidran magic a different color than what the templars use ^_^ Hey Tom - wanna shed some light on the ideas of Keidrans using magic? Is it even possible?

You guys keep talking about scars on Flora, I thought I went over this thing pretty thoroughly but I don't remember that. Where are you seeing this? Anyway,I share everybody's concern over Flora's fate, but easy,fellas. MentalFreak9 mentioned in the list of possibilities that Trace could kill Flora. Guess so, if Tom wants to get out of this at the top of his game*shrug*in which there might be an epilogue,then we all go away. Was just checking my comic ranking and noticed Tom's is at #20 in all of Keenspace with .926% of all pages viewed on this server being Two Kinds. Now that is almost one percent. In case you think this is a trifle, let me add that there is at present 5783 comics on Keenspace. I wouldn't throw that away! He's just a great cliffhanger writer. I'd stake a bundle on it. -Rann

Flora is alive in that book as well which automatically says she doesn't die now. Go read it, it's a good story.

I got your point alright, I just completely disagree with it. ;D As for it being 'the same color,' well, recall that whenever someone uses magic around here (even the hunt/kill form might be considered channeling magic,) their eyes glow bright yellow, the color never varies. (Think Black Mages, except not so continuous. ^_^)
Really, I think your idea that he's pumping magic into their heads is rather far-fetched in comparison. Sure, it MAY be possible... However, if I were that guy, I certainly would have tried to defend myself with magic when I was being cornered by those dragon heads. Unsuccessful as that proved.

No, understood entirely. Your position is that Trace is screwing around with her brain.
I disagree, cuz so far glowing eyes mean magic use. In all likelihood, the glowing arm means his arm is far, far stronger than normal. (Around here, there are visible signs of when magic is in use.)
If this time it means he's firing stuff into her head, it'd be the first time it meant that, for sure.

Could be Trace is looking inside her head for some reason. Assuming he isn't about to use a creative way of killing her, he could plan on giving her the mind of a slave.

Ah, thanks Chibi ! I was looking in the comic, not here in the forum. That prologue is...troubling. But a lot of stories,like life, seldom go exactly the way we would have them go. All the same, I will consume every comic Tom does until he finishes the story! -Rann

Wow, you really have great taste, Alex. I've now seen you on the forums of three of my favorite comics (Twokinds, Wotch, Jack).
There's definitely some transferance of power, but which way? As others have noted, glowing eyes mean one of two things; utilizing of inner strength or mental alteration. I'm going to assume Kiedrans can't use magic, or else there wouldn't be such a power imbalance between them and humans. I suppose Flora could be unique, but, I feel, a much more likely possibility is that the necklace is supplying, either directly or by creating a feed on Trace's powers, the magic. Personally, I'd go with Trace messing with Flora's mind, though. The question in that scenario is whether he is manipulating, adding, or uncovering.

Well that settles that. Should of known, mind controlled females was WAY too kinky for a stripped of this rating. (And I don't consider that a bad thing.)
So Flora's race can do like the were-wolves and take on a more animalistic form, that explains the eyes at least. (But it doesn't explain Trace's hand. Maybe the artist just screwed up that one and doesn't want to admit it?)
Well, maybe now that the tower had gone boom, maybe Trace will lose himself again. However, this does kinda defeat the entire purpose of the experiment, or what it was SUPPOSED to be about rather than terminating a rival. Flora is the thing Trace is fighting for, the thing that's supposed to bring out his real full power.

I was wrong about him using magic to effect her but according to Tom her eyes were yellow because she was in pain - and im thinking that Trace isnt the strongest person around in human streangth and was probably using magic to enhance his streanght to lift flora like that- Also i dont think the eyes have anything to do with Hunt and kill mode ^_^ *Note how her eyes are that color when shes under a lot of emotional stress either feeling pain, or rage. When she goes into her H/K mode her eyes are normal -- when she is really angry at him and on the ground her eyes are yellow... then again - H/K mode is probly triggered by emotion and or just will...
Anyways none of this matters now -- what matters now is -- what will happen tomarrow(Fri)? ^_^

Flora is the thing Trace is fighting for, the thing that's supposed to bring out his real full power. I'm not sure where ou got some of your ideas, but here: Trace's arm is glowing because he is using magic, and his arm is the focus of the power. AND Nuetral doesn't care about Traace - only Flora, and her all 'bring balance to the races' thing. AND finally, earlier in the comics, it was said that for Trace to use his real power, someone he cared about would have to be in danger. That would be when Keith first saw Flora and drew his sword on her. *Bows*
