"Now now," the spawn answered with a smug grin, "That's what I'm keeping your little princeling for.  But I can see you've not learned your place yet."<br/><br/>She gestured to the orcs who'd been watching the elf's use rather avidly.  "Hold her jaw," she ordered one and then directed the other to sieze the elf's tongue.<br/><br/>The greenskins moved eagerly, thick strong fingers clamping at Lauralana's jaw to try to force it open and then more grasping at her soft pink tongue to pull it sharply as if trying to pull it free of her mouth.<br/><br/>Halae smiled and ran the silver needle along her captive's tongue before pushing it through.  Unlike her previous work, this time she worked slowly, dimpling the flesh before breaking it and driving the sharp pain through with agonizing slowness.  Then the needle was withdrawn and the rod of dark metal pushed through the hole, stretching and tearing slightly before she touched the ball of matching metal to it's underside and setting off it's enchantment.<br/><br/>Both the orcs and Halae then released Lauralana and stepped back to enjoy watching her endure the flaring as the newest piercing fused itself to her magic and joined the others in sealing her power from her.
