Kor Lachnis and Gorshash enter. Kor Lachnis is laughing and clapping

KOR LACHNIS: <HA-HA! It is as I said! The true Erogenian seed survives! Is she not magnificent, Gorshash? All she needed was a moment’s opportunity and she unchained herself and made a victim of that piece of waste.>
PANEL 2

GORSHASH: <Yes, lord - it is as you said, and as I warned - this family is formidable.>

KOR LACHNIS: <Yes, well, formidable or not, she cannot be free. This has been highly entertaining, Moon Queen, but back into chains thou must go. Thou art yet my prisoner, and I have plans in which thou must play a part. Let us lock her magickally as well this time, eh, Owner Gorshash?>

PANEL 3
IPOLA: <No. I will not be chained again, and I will not be made a pawn of anything you plan. I’ve had just about enough of this place for one day. I will leave - alive or dead, but you will not have any power over me.>


PANEL 4
KOR LACHNIS: <Prattle on! Thou speak’st as if this were a choice thou could’st make!>

Kor Lachnis aims a bolt at Ipola to paralyze her.

KOR LACHNIS:Thuu Duthracani!

PANEL 5
IPOLA: Eyal!
To his surprise, she bats it aside.
PANEL 6
IPOLA Paio!
She aims a bolt of moonfire at Kor Lachnis

IPOLA: <What’s your name?>
ESHTAKK: <I’m gonna … do you. >
IPOLA: <Well … Let’s hope we can find an alternative to raping me, shall we? What do they call you?>
ESHTAKK: <You can call me “Owner.”>
PANEL 2
IPOLA NARR: Ah, so that’s how you want it, eh?
IPOLA: <I will not call you “owner.” If any is Owner, then it is Kor Lachnis, am I right? He gives the orders here, not you.>
ESHTAK:: <All I have to do is not cut you or break you - but I can hurt! You call me what I say!>
PANEL 3
IPOLA: <Please, don’t do this. You can …>
ESHTAK: <Heh! You’re going to beg? I like it when they beg …>
PANEL 4
IPOLA: < Please don’t..>
ESHTAKK: <I’ll stop your mouth!>
PANEL 5
He forces himself on her and forces her mouth open.
He snakes his tongue deep into her mouth
She BITES on the tongue and with a vicious sideways movement of her head, RIPS it from him.
