"The Demon's fragments search for one of their number," Elina says out loud, continuing to stare. "One that is missing." Ahead of her the mural glows faintly from within, it's enchantments still at work, though she is protected from their effects by her spectacles. Still, the magical aura of the altar heightens her senses; the Scholar feels she is close to a discovery, and it is the discipline of her mind that slows and paces itself to follow the train of thought.

"A symbol is required. A symbol that can be inscribed, rune-like, to grant power. A symbol, unknown, even to the Demon itself, and a missing fragment, over which the symbol will grant some satisfying influence, but worthless without that identifying fragment. All symbols of record for the Demon are recorded in Theronaskos' texts--the creature, Jervil, would have seen them and therefore apparently discarded them, or used them in other ways. So, the place I should be searching is the place Jervil was not aware of. Perhaps another reading of that journal will help?" The Scholar shakes her head in self-answering. "If the creature, Jervil, made the final adjustments to the mural at Zirena's... suggestion, then that would mean the Seeress saw in vision something that would play a role in the Demon's future. Something that would influence its horological model." The Scholar pauses, frowning. "Or something that had already played a role in the Demon's horological model. These elements on the mural seem to represent events both past and future, if the real blood splattered there is any indication."

Elina forces herself to think past the pounding of her heart--she is close to something important and she knows it. "So, it was something in the past, perhaps, as well as in the future. Something forgotten. Something the creature, Jervil, overlooked. Something I've overloo-..."

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

While things may be fairly obvious to the viewer at this point, to Elina, things are just coming together. Regardless, I've had a chance to rip these images out pretty quickly. As long as it can continue, I'm going to keep posting them as I finish them.

Elina was drawn using Emily's references from Feathered-pics . Thanks a bunch, Emily!

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.
