***********************************************

Following Deirdre's trial at the mural, Jervil chained her to a worktable and sought out the secret of her shape-changing abilities. Time was growing short, and he knew it. So, too, did Annalae and Callista know it, and the day following Deirdre's capture, the two women approached Jervil in the midst of his research. With the former courtesan's deadly Cat-Shade looming close, Anna suggested that these latest acquisitions were worth more than the handful of captives remaining in Callista's quota. Callista appraised the uniqueness of the fox-girl's powers and attributes and their value to Jervil's research, and claimed that she had more than delivered on her end of the bargain between them.

Jervil listened warily, more frustrated with the interruption at this critical time than with the thought of losing Callista's services. But he had a counter-offer in hand--an idea that occurred to him during Avora's frustrating subjection to the mural. "One more will suffice, and I will withdraw my claim on you," the rat-man responded. "I have learned of a Seeress living outside the city. She will prove most useful to me if brought here, and it is my understanding that bringing her here might be most... satisfying... for the two of you as well..."

***********************************************

Those are some nice lines of battle drawn up between the two sides, I think.

The model used for Deirdre has been identified as one of the models having posed for Viator-Defessus . Annalae was drawn using the reference provided by Lindsey. Callista was drawn using the photos of fetishfaerie-stock . And, finally, the three cats were drawn using the reference material provided by Nubs, Hister, and Mr. Paws, none of whom are real cats that I'm aware of, but possess the names I would give real cats if I had them.

Finally, like a few of the others in this storyline, this image has its own title independent of the chapter it's in. "Renegotiation" will be available as a print if anyone wants it. I'll upload it later today. Total Time Spent on this Baby: 19 hours, 25 minutes.

Enjoy!

Note: Bookbinding and Demon's Due are a work of fantasy and fiction. The artist/creator in no way condones real mistreatment of this kind toward any woman or man, by living person, gremlin, plant, assassin, ratman, viscous fluid, programmed device, animated home furnishings, or otherworldly spiritual beings. Furthermore, the artist opposes the marginalizing and restriction of women in general by any institution, political and/or religious, including those which have individual women amongst their membership touting/promoting their own happiness within that institution as evidence that ALL women should feel the same way. This includes the religion I was raised in and which I have utterly discarded from my life over this and other issues.
