I highly doubt that anything short of the Mothers could stop a Nemfected Mab.Murphy stopped Maeve with a handgun.
"I am Mab. The stars will rain from the sky before Mab fulfills not her word."
Pull iron filings out of a body with a rare earth magnet? Would hurt like heck, but she'd heal.
Here is a wild thought, Mab or any other Fae will look you in the eye and tell you they cannot lie. Now that may be true, in which case bargaining with them shouldn't be all that dangerous, but it is.Of course that includes Molly now.
So why is that? This is a wild theory that came to me while I was watching a special about King Tut..This is oddly close to what Harry warned Maeve about. Once you can lie, you start lying to yourself.
Don't ask me why.But here it is, when you are bargaining with a Fae, it is like looking in a mirror. We see our reflection, we think we are seeing truth, but the image is backwards.. So the Fae might indeed be telling the truth, but we lie to ourselvesas we hear it, or in another words it amounts to a lot of wishful thinking. That's why it is so dangerous to bargain with the Fae...
I'll go you one better. We know WHEN Mab will lie. The last book is called Empty Night. A sky without stars.
I offer a WAG:
In this quote, Mab isn't saying "I will never lie."
She is saying, "I'm not lying... yet. But I will... after the Stars fall from the sky."
When a Fae makes a promise in a bargain, he or she binds himself or herself to the promise. As we saw in Summer Knight, Harry had bound himself to Lea for three promises in exchange for whatever she gave him to fight Justine.. However Mab was able to take over that contract, then promises were then moved to her. In the case of Ethinu, Harry needed blood and had to say the right words to bind her, but she wasn't bound to Harry, she was bound to the prison.Harry bound Ethniu. He beat her will to resist the binding. Not Demonreach. The prison is just where she is bound.
Go back and read Battle Ground, the part where Molly is walking around in a fireman's coat after the battle. Molly even said that Harry has bound a queen right after he makes the demand.
Harry didn't "bind" Lady Molly to pay; that came as a surprise to him.
