Elfheim vol. 4 #4 Night Wynd, 1993, b&w.
1 Elfheim vol. 4 #4 cover
Windy gets Leaf, Hawk, Dao, and Bran to him and Garth. Bran tells Leaf he knew he could do it and calls him pal as he leans against a curved wall. Hawk comments on Windy's outfit and both tell each other how much they missed each other. NOTE: the skinny old elf is still down in that chamber! Windy takes off the hat part of his outfit, which he calls stupid——it's a torment costume, with it on, Windy can't concentrate (how'd he get them here then?). It keeps him in a state of high agitation. He tells Hawk to kill Garth, who pleads for his life. Ichi flies over them, telling Garth that freeing Windblade will mean he will suffer. Ichi has Kibbi and a servant in torture suits as well and he makes Windy useless to Hawk right now. He tells them the demon Borgamul has taken him under his wing. Windy tells Hawk he is sorry, he can't help it. Ichi, totally naked again, says, "Don't fib, Windy. You love it. You're such a masochist." He tells the boys to line up so he can turn them into something useful. A boom hits the tower. The keep is under attack. Borgamul takes Ichi and his two torture suited boys——Kibbi and the servant back to his realm. Airships attack the border keep that guards the pass to Greenhaven. Windy feels this has to do with Turo since he always keeps a magic contact with him, sort of a link they share like he and Hawk. He sensed Turo danced a magic dance and put through some kind of ceremony. A great contact came into the world and then the contact ended. Nendo comes up from below, breaking out of the roof bricks. She tells him he cannot stop her while he wears that suit (but he did before!). She makes Bran and Leaf blow up to her balloons, "This always works." She grabs their legs and flies off. Next thing we know Leaf (yes it is a mistake as he just left!) and Dao pull the torment suit off of Windy. Why couldn't Windy just pull off the suit himself——his hands have been free. Windy gets them to the keep, Garth happy that they need him.
    Backup story: "Stardusters: School Daze" part 1.
  Backup story first page Skillyhope's posh private school has a teacher tell of a legend of a special crystal with powers as Tapiet (his hair in apony tail), Foxfire, and Koogie spy on the class and catch Star Fever. The janitor knows something so the trio follow him. The man goes to his master Horribin and another. The other man, Daywid, needs the star to save his brother Winny. He was cut down in his prime by a horrid ham sandwich (sort of like 1998's TEEN ANGEL on ABC was cut down by a hamburger left under someone's bed for a year––which the fool ate!). Foxfire tells Tapiet the man is the truant officer who is Horribin. Tapiet is wearing a one suspender one piece. Daywid will go back in time and strike that lethal lunch from Winny's hands. He moves back to find the hiding spot of Fox and Tapiet. They run but the guy chases Foxy. The man in the hat, the truant officer, runs at Tapiet. Tapiet feels some sort of electric energy from the Horribin man. Four tiny elves–fairies drop a rock on the head of Daywid to save Foxy who couldn't have lasted much longer running. One fairy tells him that the madman has hurt a lot of were–folk. Tapiet meets up with him. Foxfire tells Tapiet the man Horribin is human...sort of. The four dragonring dudes come and yell that the star is there's. Simon, Lee, Neji, and another boy (Perri?). Simon tells Foxy not to use his magic but Foxfire tells Simon he started it with his blast. An elf earred boy in a bow tie and suit says hi to Tapiet and tells him that Porkchop and he are gonna look for the star. Willis, a curly haired angelic blond boy and another boy with black hair (not Swift but maybe Ralph?) arrive and tells Perri they have their glider wings. Two small twin boys and another boy, possibly Ralph, are there, also ready to find the Star. Tapiet comments, "The Snodsquint Star Hunt. Heaven help Skillyhope!" Fox and Tapiet run with Koogie. The other boys fight while the janitor spies on them and readies to report back to his Master.
