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

"The Cat Whisperer's necessary ingredient was cold water," the Hellbinder explains aloud. "When added to the runing mixture, it gave the ink its potency to prevail against the natural inclination of her sorcery. You yourself are responsible for the discovery, Scholarling, and for that, we will reward you with the knowledge of the ingredient necessary for the siphoning rune you will wear."

The Scholar stares ahead, wide-eyed, spent, and unable to do more than watch and listen as a spectator as the Hellbinder begins to work on her. With size-belying agility, the brush is dipped into the inkwell which emits a sharp hint of acrid smoke that tickles her nose. Gingerly, the massive hand lowers the brush toward the flesh of Elina's pelvis, released from its extra ropes now that her mind's resistance is quelled.

"Ashes from burnt records is the answer. The sorcery is made stronger if the burning is done by your own hand as well, and thanks to your pyromortis spell cast in defense at our person, it was a simple matter to keep the inferno burning long enough to return to the workroom and incinerate a paper bearing a single name repeated over and over." Trapped in her body, and her body trapped in the being's grasp, Elina senses the creature pausing the brush a finger's width from her skin. "Can you guess the name, Scholarling?"

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

If you've read and looked at the rest of the Bookbinding chapter, you know the name and the paper the Hellbinder is referring to. This also explains what the big fellow was doing while Elina was struggling with the hand and the gremlin. A future scene will explain why the fire didn't hurt him, if I haven't explained that already. Just a couple pages left!

Elina was drawn with the awesome reference material provided by Emily at Feathered-pics . Thanks, Emily!

I relied on a number of references for this, the main one not being currently included in Emily's gallery.

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.
