ᯓ★ SOME TRIVIA FOR OUR EX-GENERAL !
Oough I didn’t want to make the comic too long so I didn’t make Lilia explain how he met Mathura. They met when Lilia traveling all over the world, and his status as general had him the honor of meeting Mathura. Why did they do when they met? They drank, sung, partied, and got drunk💀
According to the news reports at the time, it was said that Mathura had sided with the enemy last-minute during a war. Not many details were explained, which made things suspicious, but at that time everyone believed Mathura was a traitor and he got exiled real fast.
Turns out, Anan’s father (or the current king) was corrupted and power hungry. He had been ordering Mathura to conquer the kingdoms nearby using methods Mathura didn’t agree with (which were annihilating those kingdoms who they considered their alliance). When Mathura realized his brother was no longer sensible, he fought with him but ultimately lost- resulting in him being throw away to the deep seas with a nasty scar across his chest.
Mathura lost his kindness after that, and became a grumpy old man we know today!
Anyway, Mathura was named “The Gentle General” because he was merciful to both his enemies and subordinates. He’s usually seen in the med bay, comforting his wounded comrades. They said his touch reminded them of their mother, so they’d call him that when they were delirious from their wounds sometimes.
ᯓ★ OVERALL TRIVIA!
The reason why Suchol dislikes nagas is because he was chased by one of them once😞 It scarred him so much so that it bled into his dislikes of overall snakes and eels of the like. Suchol was chased for a good 3 hours before he made it out of the water using his unique magic. That’s why you don’t go to the deep sea, boy😭
Thought I should say this so the naga that Suchol was chased by isn’t Nham (Mathura’s pet)!
Mathura lost his rose in the battle he fought with his brother, and has been forever agitated with this fact. To replicate the feeling, he forged an earring in the shape of a rose with the young yaksha in mind. It’s considered his emotional support object when he has nightmares.
Mathura cuts and braids his own hair, that’s why it’s always been shaggy. He dislikes his hair being touched in any way. I drew Lilia from memory so he looks wonky as hell😞🙏
