Setanta is on his way to Emain Macha on a Samaïn night. Unaware of the dark thing pursuing him, he stops by a beautiful pond to have a drink. Now, what are those shapes raising from the water ?

oh....wow. This is just getting better and better for us, and if I'm right about those spirits....bad for Setanta. Ghost/sidh(assuming due to the glow) in front, and boar+wild men sidh to the back....and poor Setanta with a shield and sliotar smack dab in the middle...

Future echoes?

It'll be interesting to see the rest of his childhood...I'd like to see him enter his ríastrad.

Yea, they've got the same glow as the sidhe. But they're much larger no? Actual human sized?
And they're all looking up? at the expression of the 2nd lowest spectre in the last panel! XD

Also, 3rd panel; lower portion. Pirates Of the Caribbean! Yar!

@Orangeman : The ones whos expression is ALMOST a "WTF?" ? yah, i got a nice chuckle outa that one..

And, orangeman, i can't be entirely sure, but i've heard a few sources say,(again, i can't be entirely sure, might just be my own fantasies) that the human spirit can become akin to the fairy folk, or Sidh. That, or Cath Mirlik have chosen to have a green flame framed black body represent the fairy folk/spirit beings, these ones being warriors of some sort or another, if the helmet topped looking heads, and the hilt of a sword in the third panel would indicate,

@Stephen Flint
Interesting explanation. Makes alot of sense; skull-like faces, spears and swords. Didnt notice the helmet at first though. I thought those were swirly black flames popping from his head.

Fallen warriors it would seem?

@all of you
We're back at our respective places after a 3 days "break" in Paris at an excellent Comic Con. And what a pleasure, when switching up our laptops, to be able to read this exchange of points of view.

We're delighted to have such keen-eyed readers. You've come to the right conclusion.
Those are "fallen warriors", as Orangeman says, and exactly for the reasons Stephen points out. And yup, Setanta is in a tight corner. He's not yet Cu Chulainn. He hasn't yet met with Scatach, he still has soooo much to learn. He's a young kid. But... rest assured that people at Emain Macha just won't understand what has befallen them..
And as you've guessed, all things black with greenish glow are related. Obviously they're part of the magical world. (and in our vision, there aren't many faeries there, not 20th century funny/cute faeries anyway)

@ Fionn, Riastad You'll have that in due time. And foretastes too

Thank you all for your support !!

I think i speak for all when i say that were glad we could make your day after a very excellent Comic Con weekend. I think, after the events of meeting fallen warriors and angry sidh of all sorts, a bunch of haughty teenage boys are going to be a cakewalk for our little brute, woe to the warriors-in-training at Emain Macha.
