meanwhile, in paradise...
panel 1, we see the Moon Wizard looking at a tiny picture of Hot Knight and weeping, Star Wizard is looking over unnoticed. MW: "Oh GOD what have I done!? My little love gone forever!" panel 2: Star Wizard walks over, "What the HELL Moon!? STILL?" panel 1 - Moon Wizard: "Don't blame me! I didn't expect to fall in love and... No one ever does... Oh my aching HEART!" panel 2 - Moon Wizard collapses on the table, inconsolable "I should've never let you throw them in that Pit! I should've stopped the whole thing!!" panel 1: MW keeps sobbing, "WHYYYY!?" SW looks on panicked, "B-but you said it was casual!" panel 2: Moon Wizard flips the table and all the contents come crashing to the ground. Star Wizard is shocked.

Not sure what you want with us, but uh... A big, strapping looker like yourself, hiding down here in the darkness?

The Dark Wizard's voice booms off panel, "SILENCE!!!" panel 1 - The Dark Wizard: "You think you can quell my fury with silly flirtation?" panel 2 - DW continues: "Typical. People like you think they can get away with anything just because they're hot. Honestly, that irks me."

a riveting backstory...
panel 1 - Hot Knight lounges with Gorm and Olgi, telling them their story "So then, the Moon Wizard and the Star Wizard took me in as an apprentice, in exchange for some household labor." panel 2 - Hot Knight's recalling a memory, thinking bubble shows Moon Wizard leering over at Hot Knight as they sweep a floor in a sexy cleaning uniform. "And of course, I caught the Moon Wizard's eye pretty quickly. They probably shouldnt've given me that skimpy little cleaning uniform." panel 1 - Hot Knight is recalling a memory, thinking bubble showing the Star Wizard mixing potions while the Moon Wizard and Hot Knight kiss in the background. "We hit it off- what can I say? It was fun. The Star Wizard was none the wiser..." panel 2 - Hot Knight recalls a memory, thinking bubble showing Hot Knight looking at an amulet that looks like a bug under a class container, Moon Wizard sleeping in the background. "We had a good run, but I was after something bigger- an amulet that could give me more magic than those Wizards could teach." panel 1- Hot Knight points to the amulet, which is on their chest plate, Olgi and Gorm look at it closely. "So I took it and forged it into my armor! Looks pretty cool, right?" panel 2- Hot Knight wraps up their story "Anyway, they weren't too happy about that, so they cast me into the Pit for all eternity, and now here I am! And that's my story!" Olgi blushes and claps, Gorm looks at Olgi judgmentally.

panel 1, knight is lounging with annoyed look on face. "Phooey. Not my ideal first day of eternity, to say the least". panel 2, a gob is looking at the knight lounging talking to someone off screen "Hey Gorm, they threw someone else in the cage with us - and they're SUPER hot!" panel 1 - one gob is talking to other gob. "Gosh- I might be getting a crush. Dunno how you're not crushin' right now-" second gob responds "Pssh. I'm an intellectual. Intellectuals don't get crushes. You always were the weaker mind. No surprises there-". panel 2, knight walks into frame, "Evenin', cellmates! Wanna give me the grand tour of the new living quarters?" panel 1 - gob 1 watches as gob 2 runs up to knight enamored. gob 2 says "Wow, your eyes are amazing! Don't they just have really nice shape and color to their eyes, Olgi? Like I'm not trying to sound weird, but WOW!" panel 2 - Olgi is looking at Gorm, pissed. Grom keeps going "I just mean like, objectively speaking. Really not tryna be weird here. Just like, really nice light refraction on those globes. Really nice."

"Yeah!" the knight has a shit-eating grin on their face and is thinking they are a couple of screwballs. panel 1 - the knight says to the two guys "Well, you two have impeccable timing! I just dropped into town, and I was thinking I needed some firm-gripped escorts to show me the sites... Maybe stop for a drink too, while we're at it?" panel 2, the two characters aside behind the knight, who peers at them. bird guy- "Oh no! I think I'm getting a crush! I-I wanna let them go-" skeleton guy - "Be strong! It'll be worth the wait. Almost there..." panel 1- the two guys toss the knight into a giant cage. skeleton- "I know throwing hot people in cages is totally your thing!" bird guy - "WOO! Yeah!!!" panel 2 bird guy and skeleton are walking away from sad looking knight in a cage. bird guy - "It's totally my thing!" skeleton - "That's what friends are for, buddy."
