Chapter	Text
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	The room was dark. Not just ‘shadowed’ or ‘black’, but devoid of light. The cat—whom Nsiia had decided to call Yinah, made an uncertain sound.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	Yinah tried to climb over Nsiia to get away. The woman soothed the animal. But she did not approach the head.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	The room lit up. Yinah and Nsiia both blinked in the light. And Nsiia saw—around the room that there was color. It was a bare stone floor, windowless. But someone had drawn…a mural around the room?
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	The head watched as Nsiia walked around the room to the last part. It had disturbed Nsiia when she had first read the story. In this room? Yinah stared at the Golem’s head and never looked away. Nsiia felt the carved eyes on her back. But she read on.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	Nsiia felt another chill. Yinah was digging her claws into Nsiia’s skin, but the woman ignored the pain.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	Silence. Nsiia’s crawling skin tried to leave her body. Yinah yowled.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	Nsiia felt for her side. But she carried no weapon. Yinah was hissing. The Oracle blinked again, twice. A nod.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	The Empress had had enough. She grabbed the doorknob and thrust it open. Yinah uttered a scream of defiance as Nsiia slammed the door behind her. The head laughed as it was left in darkness. It heard voices on the other side, the guards, Nsiia’s, and then Femithain’s. It lay there.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	Yinah made a sound as it clung to Nsiia’s head. The former-[Empress] sighed. Femithain looked at the cat.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	“Yinah. You heard?”
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	“I would have done worse, but I thought of the grievance it would put you to. Yinah’s legs will never move again. Do not tell me—”
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	Nsiia looked up. Femithain offered Yinah a finger. The cat sniffed it and turned her head.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	That made sense. Nsiia rose. Calmer now, she carried Yinah with her as Femithain rejoined the gathering of First Crafters.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	The First Crafter sighed and drifted into the room. Nsiia looked down at Yinah, who had been captivated by the arms.
Interlude – Experiments in Golems	It was all Nsiia wanted. She rode back with him late into the night. Femithain was receiving [Messages]. One made him pause and he looked at Nsiia before coughing and inquiring whether Yinah would need anything.
