I perceive Judgement

[Mordrion]

Summer, 13th, 515

Mordrion arranged the bones he had maledicted in the order he would combine them into the necklace. The skull was in the middle, which would be the lowest and most frontal part of the necklace. To each side of it were the longest of the four leg bones. Then the shoulder bones and at the outermost point the two shorter leg bones. The shoulder and leg bones had already been prepared for the necklace with the cuts and holes he had made in them. The skull, with the eye sockets, provided natural anchors for the necklace so it didn't need any help from Mordrion in that regard.

From his bag, Mordrion took a long piece of string, thicker than what was used to sew things with as that would most likely not support the weight of the bones hanging from it, even small bones such as the Gibbat's. Mordrion unrolled the string and stretched it out over the bones with both hands, cutting it off at the end once he had roughly two armlengths of it. While it was too long for a normal necklace, the string would lose much of it length tying around the various pieces of bone, hopefully leaving enough to tie it around a man's neck.

Mordrion picked the string up on one end and took the skull carefully in his other hand. He put the string through the eye socket and under the skull. At first he thought of moving it out through the other socket and be done with it but the four eyed skull was looking at him. Even from death, the empty sockets seemed to tell him that that would be the lazy and, ultimately, flawed solution for his creation. There were four sockets and it felt like the Gibbat was telling him that

Mordrion put the skull upside down on the work bench and measured the string by stretching it out between his hands and picking what seemed like the middle between his lips. The middle point he put in the middle of the skull, holding it in place with one hand while the other pulled the string through the smallest eye socket, back out and tying it around the socket twice, left first, then he switched hands and did the same with the right socket. From the smaller sockets he moved the string through the larger sockets back inside the skull and pulled them around and out again. The strings were pushed back in and through the larger eye sockets two more times.

Leaving the left side for now, Mordrion took the end of the right part of the string and put it through the string he had just tied around the eye and pulled slowly on it until the string wrapped around itself. Testing his project, he lifted the string up so that the skull dangled from it. It seemed to hold. He repeated the process with the left socket as well, tying the string around it twice and then pulling it through it self to tighten the knot on the bone. Another dangling test later and the maledictor was happy with the results.

He left roughly a thumb of space between the skull and the next part of the necklace. Once again leaving the left side for later, Mordrion started on the right side of the necklace, taking up
