A comic page I drew for 9/6. I had just found my Atlantis tape and watched it about three times in one day. I figured that if Zexion ever got his hands on the Shepard's Journal, he would go into spasms of linguistic frustration (and shadows of delight). It's been hard going. The thing that probably burned him the most about it was all the world-leaping he'd have to do to study the other "living" languages Atlantean roots. ("...and what's really amazing is that if you deconstructed Latin, overlaid it with a little Sumerian, throw in a dash of Thessalanoian, you'd be getting close to their basic grammatical structure. Or at least in the same ballpark. Which is almost exactly like certain obscure offshoots of Chocktaw! Well, obviously using Creek pronunciation, but you get the point, proving once and for all, that Atlantean trade routes accessed the new world centuries before the Bronze Age!" - Milo Thatch)

But here. Here is a wonderful opportunity! This...n00b happens to not only be able to read the language quickly, he can speak it in it's original inflection! (Students of hieroglyphs will understand-it's great to learn these dead languages, but you can only guess at what the words actually sounded like.)

Zexion can be effing scary.
