Hera watched with open curiosity as Rommelisch practiced his voodoo.

"Does Valten know you do this stuff?" she asked, supposing he did. Maybe they could put a hex on him, and Helghast too. Wouldnt that be fun. It would have to involve Crestmere to some degree. Make them all bark like dogs or something. But her mind was wandering, perhaps she was bleeding more than she realised. Hera refocused on the runes Zedrich was drawing, recognising some of them.

"I know those signs" she said, leaning forward. "I had an amulet with similar markings." Rommelisch snuffed a short laugh. They were, in fact, exactly the ones of Hera's amulet, he knew.

"Where did you learn these markings?" she asked, pressing her shirt cuff against her bleeding palm to stop the bleed.
