   ;Things have changed察my dear Danifae察─Zinnirit said。 ;I am no longer your mother's House mage察subject to the whims of her spoiled daughters。;
   ;You expect me to pay拭─she asked。
   ;You expect something for nothing拭
   Danifae let one of her eyebrows twitch in response。 That barely perceptible gesture made the old wizard look away。 She took a deep breath and concentrated on that corner of her mind in which the Binding hid。
   ;I know why you've e察─Zinnirit pressed。 ;It's always there察isn't it拭
   Seeing no reason to lie察Danifae said察 It is。 It's been there every second since I fell into the hands of House Melarn。;
   ;It's an insidious enchantment that binds you 。 。 。; said the old drow察 binds you in a way that only a drow could imagine。 While the Binding is in effect察you will never be free。 If your mistress 。 。 。 拭
   ;Halisstra Melarn。;
   ;If Halisstra Melarn dies察so goes Danifae察─he continued。 ;If she calls for you察you'll go to her。 No question察no hesitation察no choice。 You can never´much as you might like to察even as a method of suicide´raise your hand to her。 The Binding won't let your body move in a way that would result in your mistress's death。;
   ;You understand well察─she whispered察 but not pletely。 In many ways察it's the Binding that fuels me。 That spell keeps me alive察keeps me vital察keeps me listening察watching察and learning。 That spell察and my desire to break its hold察is what I live for。;
   Danifae saw fear flash across the old wizard's eyes。
   ;You weren't the only member of our House to be brought to Ched Nasad察─he said。 ;After that last raid´the one that destroyed the redoubt察that destroyed the family´others were taken by Ched Nasad's Houses察and the rest were scattered over a wide swath of the Underdark。 Those who lived察anyway察and that was precious few。;
   ;Zinnirit Yauntyrr made it to Sschindylryn察─she continued for him察 and did quite well here。 That never surprised me。 You were a talented spellcaster。 No one could teleport like you。 You were the master。 And teleporting isn't all you're good at。
   ;You're ready察─she said。 ;I know you。;
   ;What will you do when you're free拭─he asked。
   Danifae smiled at him and stepped closer。 They could touch each other if either lifted an arm。
   ;All right察─the old mage breathed。 ;I don't need to know察do I拭
   Danifae offered no response。 She stood waiting。
   ;I will have to touch you察─the wizard said。
   Danifae nodded and stepped closer still´close enough that she could smell the old man's breath此cinnamon and pipeweed。
   ;It will hurt察─he said even as his hand was reaching up to her。 He placed the tips of his first and second fingers on her forehead。 His touch was dry and cool。 Strange words poured from his mouth。 It might have been Draconic he was speaking but a dialect she couldn't quite pin down。 After a full minute he stopped and lowered his hand。 His red´orange eyes locked on hers。 Danifae did not pull away察much as she wanted to。
   ;Tell me察─he whispered察 that you want to be through with it。;;I want it gone察─she said。 Her voice seemed too loud察too sharp to her own ears。 ;I want to be free of the Binding。;
   No sooner had that last syllable left her lips than her chest tightened察then her legs察her arms察her feet察her hands察her neck察her jaw察her fingers and toes´each one。 Every muscle in her body cramped and seemed to rip into shreds under her skin。 She might have screamed察but her throat was clamped shut。 Her lungs tried to force what air was left in them up and out through her closed throat察past her clenched jaws察between her grinding teeth。 She went blind with pain。
   It was over。
   Her body loosened so quickly and so pletely that she collapsed。 Vomit poured from her察and her vision was a swirling blur。 Her eyes watered察her nose ran察and she came within half a second of wetting herself。
   That was over too。
   Danifae was shaking as she stood。 She mastered the barrage of emotions that assaulted her´everything from humiliation to homicidal rage´with a single thought
   I'm free。
   She wiped her mouth on her sleeve and stepped away from her own sick。 Zinnirit followed察reaching out to steady her in case she fell again察but she avoided his touch察and he seemed as reluctant to touch her。
   ;I can't feel her察─Danifae said even as she realized that the connection was truly gone。
   ;She won't feel you either察─said the mage。 ;She'll probably think you died 。 。 。 wherever she is。;
   Danifae nodded and collected herself。 Part of her wanted to shriek with delight察to dance and sing like some sun´cursed surface elf察but she did not。 There was still one more thing she needed。 The battle´captive turned free drow blinked the tears from her eyes and looked at the old mage's hands。
   Zinnirit wore many rings察but Danifae was looking for one in particular察and she recognized it immediately。 On the second finger of Zinnirit's left hand was a band of intertwined platinum and copper traced with delicate Draconic script。
   ;You kept it察─she said。
   He looked at her with narrowed eyes and shook his head。
   ;That ring察─she explained。 ;My mother's ring。;
   Zinnirit nodded察unsure。
   ;You enchanted that for her yourself察didn't you拭─she asked。
   Zinnirit nodded again。
   ;Wherever she might go察─Danifae mused察 that ring would return her home to her private chamber in House Yauntyrr in far Eryndlyn。 I remember she used it once when we were in Llacerellyn。 The ring took us both home when an idle threat turned into an assassination attempt and someone sent an elemental after her。
   ;You've never used it拭You've never tried to go back拭
   ;There's nothing there察─the mage answered too quickly。 ;Nothing to return to。 I retuned the ring years ago to bring me back here。;
   ;Still察have you ever had necessity to use it拭─she asked。 ;Has it ever brought you back here from some distant cave拭
   Zinnirit shook his head。
   ;Never stepped through your own gates拭
   The old drow shook his head again and said察 I have nowhere to go。;
   Danifae tipped her head to one side and let the tiniest smile of appreciation slide across her lips。
   ;You poor thing察─she whispered。 ;All these years 。。。 so lonely察waiting for one last chance to serve a daughter of House Yauntyrr。;
   Danifae reached out and took Zinnirit's hand。 The mage flinched at her touch but didn't pull away。
   She lifted his hand to her lips and kissed it。 Considering she'd just thrown up all over his floor察Zinnirit winced at the gesture察but still allowed it。 Danifae pressed the old drow's hand to her cheek。 It felt warmer察less dry。
   ;Dear Zinnirit察─she whispered察looking the old mage in the eye察 what has bee of you拭
   ;I'm a thousand years old察─the mage replied。 ;At least察I think I am。 I have no House察just these three gates and whatever meager tolls I can charge。 I'm a stranger in a strange city察with no House to protect me察no matron mother to serve。 What has bee of me拭I can barely remember 'me'。;
   Danifae kissed his hand again and whispered察 You remember me察don't you察House Mage拭
   He didn't reply but didn't take his hand away。
   ;You remember our lessons察─she said察punctuating her words with the gentle brush of her lips against his hand。 ;Our special lessons拭
   She took his finger into her mouth and let her tongue play over it。 The old drow's skin was dry and tasteless then there was the tang of metal against her lips。
   ;I didn't。 。 。; the mage mumbled。 ;I don't 。 。 。;
   Danifae slipped the ring off his finger察slowly teasing his flesh with her lips all the way。 She tucked the ring under her tongue before kissing the back of his hand again。
   ;I do察─she said。
   Danifae twisted the old drow's arm down and around hard and fast enough that more than one bone snapped in more than one place。 Zinnirit gasped in pain and surprise and didn't even try to stop Danifae from turning him around。 She brought her other hand up and cupped his chin。 She was standing behind him察his broken arm twisted painfully behin
