Chapter 7 – Lesson Time!

Valkyrie Cain walked up through the huge doors of Inferno's Mansion and went to the library. On the way she took out her Fingerless Gloves from her plastic bag. They fit her perfectly; she went through the last set of doors into the Library.

"Hello Miss Cain, How are you? Have you brought the things?"

Inferno asked wanting here to say yes.

She nodded.

"I understand Skulduggery Pleasant was your previous teacher."

She nodded again

"I understand that you are very close to bringing him back as well."

She didn't nod this time she spoke.

"Yes I only need one thing, which is…"

She hesitated for a moment and then said

"His real head, he won his current one in a poker game!"

Inferno's eyes widened then his eyebrow rose.

"Anyway, moving swiftly on, have you got the item?"

Valkyrie nodded and showed him her gloves.

"Very nice, they should do fine. Give them to me one minute."

She did as she was told; she took them off and handed them to him. He took them and went into another room.

Valkyrie used this time to look around. She looked at a book on a table. She couldn't read it as it was written in runes. She moved on from that and found a deep book it was padlocked and had a skull on the front and some more runes.

She was interrupted from looking at it properly as Inferno stepped back into the room.

"Her are your gloves back." He gave them back. "They now have a magical seal on them which permits the gloves to using necromancy and binding you to them." She smiled and put them on.

"Let us begin!" Valkyrie said with a smile.
