(altered and put on display. isn't that a familiar story? not that they were put in cages, but the sorceresses in aretuza were all transformed and then debuted to the different kings they were to be assigned to. she hadn't been kidnapped but she had been sold.

the story feels all too familiar. was that why mammon had been drawn to her? because she's been altered like his favorite pets already? it's not something anyone other than geralt or jaskier would know about here...but she doesn't doubt that the lords of hell have their own ways of knowing things.

she offers the information now to tech as a sign of trust, but also because it might be a piece of the puzzle)

I was altered before -- it's part of the process of becoming a sorceress in my world. It may be coincidence, it may be part of why Mammon wanted me. I am a quarter elf and I was born...with a crooked spine. My eyes were one of the only things I kept. (that and the scars on her wrists)

We're supposed to be the most beautiful creatures on the Continent, our beauty a part of our power as much as our magic. But it had consequences, ones I didn't fully understand at the time. So knowing that's something he's into...could be useful.

(again, maybe it isn't. but they need to consider all options.)

I recognize the names of some of the monsters, even if I might not know how to look for them or hunt them down.

(her phone pings and she looks over the information.)

I could try -- I would need a large conduit of power to draw from if I wanted to pull it off, I don't think my normal magic would be powerful enough to ensnare a demon lord, loathe as I am to admit it.
