4	''[[http://www.serpamiaflare.com Serpamia Flare]]'' is a fantasy webcomic created by rufiangel. The comic starts with the coincidental meeting between Kylie, a cool knight, and Cain, a hapless cleric. They strike up a partnership to get through a monster-filled cave together, and the story follows their journeys from there. Early character concepts and the first half or so of Chapter One was published onto Website/DeviantArt in 2003, but the strip went into hiatus several years later. It was picked up again in 2013 with a regular update schedule and has continued well past Chapter One since.
