Phix is invulnerable to all but other sphinxes in the Library, but I'm starting to get curious about Euryale's involvement.

Phix noted that even Brandi couldn't stop her in the Library, but plainly Brandi could poit M to safety, as could Bud.

Bud once told Brandi she didn't like Phix, because she was a celebrity for having done horrible things in the past. As usual with our favorite Common Sense Golem, she has a better handle on the graver dangers facing them than everybody else:

Jin of course is fragile now, but with a clear head must know better ways to guard M against the beings she faced in antiquity. And she is the teleportation grandmaster. The golems are supposed to be her posse, and they're noticeably absent.

For some reason, Euryale seems to have gotten the job of shepherding Monica here, above all these others. Maybe just as Phix is unreliable in this bloody situation, so too would be the former Chimera.

There's also Tepoz, but he's been enjoying his vacation of late.

I wouldn't bring Bud to the library though. Her resentment of Phix, let alone most other 'supernaturals', would probably end with her picking a fight.

Though now there's a problem. Brandi we know is too smart for her own good. And when Bud rants about Phix, Brandi makes comments like "I wouldn't wish her fate on anyone". It's a bit of a long shot, but Brandi may not have been referring to the imprisonment in the Library back here.

Actually, no - she's a Gorgon.

Which makes her the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, and the sister of Echidna, who was (or wasn't, depending on how you read the texts) the mother of Phix.

Holy guacamole!! I think you may have something there! Now I'm going to be wondering if Brandi has known about all of this all along...

A naturalist and philosopher wandering the Southwestern US, one topic he touches isthe struggle for life of desert flora with that of the rainforest. The battle of plant vs plant is every bit as forceful and devastating as they compete for light, water, and reproduction.

The fact that sphinxes have both feline and avian characteristics, means that the old expression about "the cat which ate the canary" can actually work both ways in a sphinx-on-sphinx deathmatch.

I think the issue is more about getting the clothes out of the blood - there's more blood than cloth in panel 2

Nope. The horns are not in Nudge's shape.
