Why would Umbria have a child of prophecy now? It's a peaceful country; it doesn't need a child of prophecy, especially since they often cause more problems than they solve, a fact Aylia would be well aware of. By the way, this strip (Strip #500) ends my continuing tradition of the multiples-of-100 strips (see Strips #100,#200,#300, and #400); sniff. Well, it had to happen sometime, since I never did it on purpose, but it's still a little sad! Ah, well; at least I like this strip a lot.
