Description

Another tribute to Don Lawrence's "Storm" by Apri Kusbiantoro, featuring our OC Cerina, the daughter of Storm and Ember, visiting the Water Planet (which we've seen in "Vandaahl the Destroyer") together with her mother. Cerina shows her control over water by making waves, a power she inherited because of the powers of her father Storm, the Anomaly, and the very light Anomalic function of her mother Ember, who of course also travelled through time in "The Legend of Yggdrasil". The one-eyed walruses were taken from a 1984 poster published in Eppo Magazine which announced the then new story "The Hounds of Marduk".
