The cover to Lessons: [link]
Chapter two, Layline: [link]
Chapter one, Changes: [link]
What? No folkloric references? No random info about nature? I must be slipping. Um… I’m sorry I’ve failed you again, here, watch some poorly video taped wolves as compensation: [link]
Egads, cut it close on this page. That seems to be happening a lot lately, but life has been busy. I suppose it’s a spring thing. While folks south of the equator are slowing down for winter, here, things are warming up and getting set for spring. There’s hiking to be done, weeding to do, and of course, lots of limbs to remove from ice storms.
Okay, this is the last talking heads page for a wee bit, I promise. Unfortunately, I tend to run out of room a lot. You see, I don’t do these comic pages the “Right” way, with the ginormous scanner and huge pages. I just plot out the layout based upon the script, and print it out, before sketching out the line work. However, since a lot of what is going on is so dialogue based, I have to make room for all of that text too. Sadly, this results in talking heads sometimes. What can I say? I have to make this stuff on the cheap, and I’m as always, still learning.
Wheeelllp. End of act one for this chapter I guess. Anywho, I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter, Ostara, Passover, or other springtime celebration, and I’ll see ya all next Wednesday!
Eldritch updates on Wednesdays!

Eldritch is for Mature audiences, will contain violence and mild nudity, as well as adult situations, themes, and language. Some pages will be marked as such on sites such as Deviantart and may be unavailable to minors.
Eldritch, in part or in whole is not to be distributed without The author’s (Nashoba Hostina) express permission. The only places where this comic will be found in its entirety will be its blog: [link] or here on her deviantart page.
The author has everything planned out, and if something does not immediately make sense, it will later. If there are questions about what will happen, answers will not be given until the issues come up in the natural course of the plot. Plot advancement will be slow at times, and peppered with Psudoscience that does not advance the story much. These are not “Filler.” These are part of how life goes in this comic.
This is the Author’s story. If something is “Wrong” it is because the author intended it to be so, and thus, it is in fact, “Correct.” The author has done a lot of work and research and has a lot scripted and planned (Please give her the benefit of the doubt here, she does know what she’s doing). This means that ‘requested storylines’ and suggestions have no place in this comic. This also means, please do not share related ideas with her, or send her previews to your own works.
In short, do NOT send requests, share ideas with, or make suggestions to, the author.
However, should you IGNORE what is written above and insist on making requests, suggestions or sharing ideas in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER regarding this comic BE AWARE that in doing so you are GIVING the artist this idea, and should she already have a similar aspect to the comic already planned, or should she take the suggestion, you will NOT be compensated. (Sorry to have to add this since the last book guys, but some people seriously do not listen, and I don’t want someone to get mad at me later on).
While the specifics of Eldritch are © Nashoba Hostina, Regarding fanart, fanfiction and such: The author is always flattered when folks take the time to draw a picture of one of her characters for her. However, if you choose to do fanart, please, make it clear that the characters, world, etcetera are Nashoba Hostina’s creation, and kindly link back here, or to the comic’s blog. Then, whenever you post Fanart of Eldritch, please, please let the artist know! Under no circumstances should fanart of Eldritch be used for financial or material gain. No fanmade work is ever to be considered canon.
As a courtesy to your fellow readers, also, please do not make predictions about what will happen in the comments section of these pages. Saying you think you know what may happen is fine, but actually stating what you think will happen is not. Because if you happen to be right, that means you’re spoiling the other readers, and no one likes That Spoiler Guy. In a similar vein… be nice to one another, okay guys? Please?
The author sadly must have a day job, and since it takes supplies and LOTS of time to make this, cannot afford to do art all the time. Thus, Eldritch is done on the author’s free time, which means page quality may vary. Also, updates may be missed if the author has a busy week. She apologizes for the inconvenience.
This disclaimer and all prior forms of it are subject to retroactive change.
And, finally… if you don’t like it, don’t read it! No one’s forcing you to look at this :3 Go outside and play or something!
Thank you for reading!
Are you not quite Human? That's okay, that means you're a lot like the rest of us. So, if you're one of the Eldritch Folk, here's a stamp for you: [link]

"Oh, hush up now before I stuff a cookie in your muzzle." I don't know why but that line's stuck in my head all week...I guess just like Maggie, she can't stand long faces. ...Well, so to speak.

Well you kinda did make a reference in the page. Faith is becoming more accepting of her "condition" and starting to like it. In some versions of werewolf stories the "victim" stats off hating the transformations but latter learns to like it and even becomes addicted ether to an aspect of being a werewolf such as power or something more primal or natural such as the joy of being a beast depending on the source. I suppose then that this comic sorta fallows that archetype then but I'm getting ahead of myself. HaZA! nerd moment!

*chuckles* Nope, this isn't the chapter end. But since this chapter is longer than the others, it kind of takes place in two acts. This is basically the end of the first act.
