First sidecomic of my Terraria series featuring the new version of Dez the Lamia! I really liked how this turned out-and I had a really interesting story idea for this one. Terraria is another favorite game I want to celebrate, having spent 1500+ hours, but never really 'finished' because of restarting with mods and long breaks! Bleh! One of these days I will finish the game!

Story:
When you start out, you have nothing... except a friendly Guide NPC. As many stories go, friendships deepen and grow into something more, especially with the bonding over terrible struggles. Love blossoms. But in this world, the Guide knew a truth: "To save the world, plunge it into darkness". In order for the player to progress through the game into Hardmode, you have to fight the Wall of Flesh in the Underworld. To summon that monstrocity, you have to cast a voodoo doll of the Guide into lava... sacrificing him.

In my version of the story, the Guide was a player who realized this truth: to fight great evil, a sacrifice would be needed. He realized he couldn't bring forth this evil without someone to fight it, and he certainly wasn't about to sacrifice an innocent to do this himself. So, he chose to be the sacrifice and help another hero take on the evil. He didn't expect to fall in love though, and couldn't bare to tell her the truth until there was no turning back.

There will be a part 2 to this!
