37th of Winter, 513 AV
The room was so familiar, it looked almost like she had never left it in all honesty. Amaryllis hadn't asked many questions when Anna had requested to use her room in the Palsa Hydrasa, simply what she would be doing. When the Sorceress had answered to Glyphing that she would prefer to keep from prying eyes the Embalmer had stared at her for a long while. In the end she had granted the request, however Anna felt that either Amaryllis suspected what she was making or simply didn't overly care as long as the Palsa Hydrasa wasn't brought down.
Anna was surrounded by parchment and inkwells, which were carefully separated into two different sections. The ones to her right appeared expensive and elegant looking, rich and powerful and the ink was scented oddly to Anna's nose. The ones on her left were ordinary and cheap, common things she could find in the Common Labs. They were simple things, not for her ultimate task today.
The Sorceress lightly touched her cheek, wincing slightly as she touched the cold burn there. The dark haired woman felt rage rise in her mind once more as she recalled the events of last night, how Kouri had marked her like this and tormented her. She had been the victim of abuse, though it was all worth it for this end goal. Kouri had agreed to sign an Oath Anna would create, a Grand Oath upon the divine halls of the Ukalas. In return she expected the sorceress to sign one of her own, one that would ensure Anna would never betray her again.
What the girl did not realize likely, was that Anna had the means to fake the results of a Grand Oath. All she needed was an official looking document in a language Kouri could not read, Nader Canoch and then a Glyph set to activate when she signed in her own blood. Anna should have felt bad about deceiving the ghostly child, but she found it hard to feel sympathetic towards her after the abuse she had received. Kouri needed to be brought to heel, betrayal of her trust or not.
Anna was currently working on her side of the agreement, simply writing line after line of gibberish in Nader Canoch. It was given some form and format, and occasionally she put in a Glyph here or there to keep up appearances. The Sorceress pushed aside reservations, reciting a litany to Rhysol's glory under her breath. It was his work she did tonight, betrayal and chaos in his name. Kouri would become his tool, she had already lured her in with lies now it was time to set the stage for more.
Her brush worked at the lines until the document was mostly filled, which was when she drew an x with a line next to it. This would be where her signature would go, to be placed in her own blood. Next to that she Anna placed her true work for the document, starting on a small stylized inverted triangle. This made up her Focus Glyph, she drew it with all due skill and speed next to the signature line.
The tall woman finished that Glyph quickly enough and from there she started on a ring of stylized geometric symbols around the Focus. This made up her Barrier Glyph, and was given the concepts of 'containing' and 'holding'. This would make certain the magic she would place within the Glyph would be contained until she activated the Trigger. Her hand moved quickly and skillfully, her brush teasing at the parchment easily and almost instinctively.
Next to her Barrier Anna placed a jumble of geometric symbols, her Trigger for all intents and purposes. This was always the most difficult Glyph to create, as it required thought on her part. She needed the Trigger to be specific here, to make it activate under the exact parameters that would give the illusion of a Grand Oath being accepted. After a bit if thinking Anna nodded to herself, adding a line of Nader Canoch beneath it.
This task done, Anna placed her brush aside and idly pulled at the tapestry of her being and tugged at her Djed. She breathed out and created a tiny purple gaseous cloud of res, willing it downwards towards the Glyph. From here she willed a transmutation, a very small breeze that was almost imperceptible filling the Glyph and priming the Glyph.
She sighed and placed the document aside, her false Oath completed she pulled over another mundane document and dipped her brush in the common ink. She needed to go through some drafts before actually creating the Oath. Her final product needed to be perfect and binding, to make certain Kouri would be hers.

When this document is signed with the name 'Annalisa Marin' in the blood of said Annalisa Marin, the Trigger will activate, lowering the Barrier and releasing the magic contained within.
