after his father tried to kidnap a rockshaper and take him back to Greymung.
Oh, is that what he was doing! I'm now rereading the series and actually just got up to that issue of Siege earlier today, so that's good timing. :D But I think part of the problem with interpreting the flashback is that we don't really get much explanation for what's happening in the various panels. Most of the context can be filled in based on educated guesses and reading between the lines of Winnowill's narration, but I wasn't able to figure out what it was, exactly, that broke things. That helps a lot.
The panel with Winnowill curled up with baby Two-Edge is so darling. Poor kid. (Now that I'm rereading the series as an adult rather than a kid, I'm all too aware that Two-Edge is the very definition of a Tragic Mulatto character, but at least he has some in-canon reasons for being that way, other than just "the two parts of his heritage don't get along" -- though that is also part of it, based on the last few issues of the original quest.)
