Old muse looking for a home

[bellbound]

Just when I'd grown used to you leaving me alone.

So where are we off to this time? A town full of horrors worse than the Dead? A deadly enchanted forest? A game? I'm still to be collared, I see. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

That is fair, Mogget. Although I rather say that I see much and understand little. I have never seen an enchantment quite like that on your bell, or such sigils.

You may call me Lucia.

[bellbound]

Well met, Lucia. [If she knows there's an enchantment, that means she's magical too. Well, well.] Oh, the bell is quite unique, in its own way. The collar made just for me, you see.

[He turns his head, inviting her to look closer.]

[wizardofharmony]

[And she does. And what she sees stuns her.]

I - so your collar spells out. That is the most cunning summoner's circle I have ever seen...

[bellbound]

Yes, as a piece of craftsmanship goes, it is quite admirable. [He says that with a fair dose of irony. The collar has successfully kept him bound for millennia, so it's undoubtedly powerful.]

[wizardofharmony]

I suppose I would not appreciate it were I in your position, either.

Sol y Luna. What script is that? It's powerful.

[Lying down on his side, he stretches out comfortably.]

It's Charter magic. The magic that governs the Old Kingdom, my world.
