Part 1/4  (mf nosex)

"You have a destiny."

Elshana absorbed the words of her master.  She had known it for all her life, 
but to hear him speak those words was the final culmination of her life's work.  
Elshana had spent the last ten years proving herself and preparing herself for 
this day, for her master's final acknowledgement of her purpose in life.

Master Morgan looked down at the young woman before him as she accepted his 
words with the grace that marked her as Ashari, as a chosen one.  Elshana had 
been sent to him when she was but seven, sent because the local priestess had 
seen the spark within her.  Morgan had spent the next ten years helping his 
pupil turn that spark into a flame, and temper it with wisdom and control.  He 
had trained Ashari most of his life, and few had possessed the spirit and the 
raw power Elshana carried inside her.  Morgan knew the challenge that awaited 
her however, the same challenge that had consumed all Ashari before her.  
Elshana had a dangerous path to take, one that she would walk without guidance, 
but it was only an Ashari that could complete the task that lay ahead of her, 
only an Ashari could save the land of Hosul from the darkness of Telain.

Elshana knew of the dangers ahead, of the path she must walk to save her people.  
It was her duty to her family and to herself to fight this battle.  The Ashari 
had once stood guard over the whole of Hosul, guarding the land from the 
barbarians to the east and south.  Then came Telain and the legion of Ashari 
fell before him and Hosul stood defense less against him.  Little was known of 
Telain, as no one who traveled to his land returned.  Only the story of his 
confrontation with the King of Hosul many centuries ago says anything about the 
man.  He was said to be as handsome as any man in the whole of Hosul and that 
his eyes could sway a woman's soul.  Telain had came to seek the king's 
surrender, and when the King refused, Telain took hold of the Ashari guards of 
the castle and led them away.  Since that time, the Ashari had been sent to 
reclaim their lost sisters and vanquish Telain.  None had ever returned from the 
quest, but no Ashari could remain in Hosul while her sisters were under evil's 
spell.  Elshana was just the latest Ashari to begin the quest, and she anxiously 
awaited her chance to challenge Telain and free the Ashari and Hosul from his 
grasp.

Morgan looked down at the young woman again, holding out his arms.  He closed 
his eyes and opened his hands to complete the incantation and Elshana's gifts 
appeared in his hands.  "Take these items, Elshana.  You're journey will be long 
and difficult and I have these words of warning for you.  Beware the dark man of 
the highway and never forget your true feelings for him.  Remember as well that 
love is the expression of the mind and not the flesh, trust your heart, Elshana, 
and you shall fulfill your destiny."

Elshana bowed her head in thanks for his words of warning, quickly burning them 
into her soul as she took the items offered.  Morgan gave her a pendant, a small 
pouch and a short sword.  Elshana recognized the items as soon as they appeared 
in her Master's hands.  The pendant was the mark of Ashari, and a focus for her 
power.  The pouch contained a sacred mixture of elements, a source of energy for 
an Ashari as she traveled far from home and the power of her homelands.  Finally 
the sword, it was more than just a weapon, but a wand and focus for her powers 
as well.  While some spells could be cast by words or a wave of the hand, the 
most powerful spells needed a stronger focus then just the pendant and the sword 
provided that focus. 

"I have done all I can for you, Elshana, take with you my warnings and my 
lessons.  You are Ashari and you are prepared for what awaits you.  Good luck." 
Morgan spoke his final words to his pupil.  He gazed upon her one more time with 
longing and hope.  She was about to begin a journey so many had never returned 
from, and her Master could only wish her well.  He waited for her eyes to meet 
his one last time and he then dissolved into the mist, returning to his home and 
setting his charge free on her journey.

Elshana stood there pensively for a moment, letting the significance of Morgan's 
departure diminish.  She would miss her teacher, he had been with her for most 
of her life, but now she had to begin her journey.  Elshana placed the pendent 
around her neck and strapped on the sword and pouch.  She was alone on the open 
plains, in the empty spaces that divided the remaining lands of Hosul from 
Telain's kingdom.  Elshana had nothing but her master's gifts and the clothes on 
her back as she set off on her journey.  It was already mid day and she had many 
miles to go before she would be able to sleep.  Elshana needed to be at the 
border of Telain's land before setting down to sleep and it was going to be a 
long walk.

Elshana enjoyed herself as she strolled through the open rolling fields of 
Hosul.  It was already fall, and the fields were tall with grass, which waved 
gently with a cool breeze.  Line of toppled stones ran through the fields, the 
only evidence that this had once been plentiful farmland.  Elshana confidently 
walked on her way to her fate.  She had been in training most of her life, 
learning how to be Ashari.  It was hard work, and she struggled with the tests 
set before her.  Only the most worthy, the most dedicated, could be sent into 
the domain of darkness, and Elshana wanted more than anything to prove herself 
capable of the task.  No matter how difficult the challenge, she persevered and 
prevailed.  Now those many hard years had paid off, and the young woman was on 
her way to save her people.

As dusk approached, Elshana noticed smoke from behind a hill ahead of her.  She 
approached with caution, already she was close to the border, and did not wish 
to alert any of Telain's subjects so soon.  As Elshana reached the top of the 
hill she crawled to its peak, being careful not to reveal herself to anyone 
nearby.  In the valley below was a simple farm, a small house with a pigpen and 
a few small buildings scattered about.  Not wanting to risk herself, Elshana 
cast a discovery spell, and peered into the spiritual energy of the farm and 
it's inhabitants.  She was relieved by the results, she was still in Hosul and 
these people were her people.  Elshana was still surprised by the powers she now 
possessed.  It had only been two years ago that she was introduced to the magic 
of the Ashari, and the power was still hard for her to fully comprehend.  

Satisfied of her safety, Elshana strode down the hill towards the farm, 
determined to reach the house before the sun set.  She barely made it, and 
knocked on the door of the home just as the last of the suns rays passed below 
the horizon.  Elshana hoped to spend her last night in Hosul with her people, 
one last night of peace before she walked into darkness.

Elshana stood back and waited patiently as she heard someone shuffle over to the 
door.  She bowed her head humbly as a weathered old man pulled open the door.

"Well, aren't you a lovely site for mi' sore ol' eyes.  I'm sure you ain't 
standin' on my door step for the fun of it, why don't you step inside so I can 
have a better look at ya." Greeted the wrinkled old man, grinning with a 
toothless smile as he looked over Elshana with a lecherous stare.

Elshana blushed as she felt his gaze trace her body.  In her many years of 
training, her master was the only man she had seen, and he had never reacted 
this way around her.  Elshana knew she had grown into a lovely young lady, but 
her training had kept her from considering the ramifications of her flowering 
femininity.  Indeed she was a beautiful young woman.  Her face was soft and 
round with a small button nose.  Her eyes were a soft brown that nearly matched 
that of her long hair that framed her face and flowed down to nearly the small 
of her back.  Her body was equally lovely, curving gently from her ample breasts 
to her slender waist and finally flaring at her hips.  

"MORT!  Don't be scarin' off the girl, can't you see she's Ashari.  Now, show 
her a little respect." Yelled an old woman as she shoved her husband away from 
the door and turned to Elshana.  "Don't mind him, every time one of you Ashari 
stops by he takes leave of his senses.  We don't get many visitors this close to 
the border 'cept for your sisters.  I'm sure you'd like to rest for the night 
before beginning your quest so come on in."

Elshana bowed in gratitude.  "Thank you, ma'am.  I appreciate your kindness."

"None of that, call me Naru and come inside before you let in too much of that 
fall air." Naru scoffed and pulled the girl inside by the arm.  "Now, I'm sure 
you haven't had anything to eat since you set off, I'll get you a bowl of stew 
off the fire."

Elshana stood there slightly stunned at her hosts.  Mort was still appreciating 
her curves as his wife drew a bowl of warm stew from a kettle beside the 
fireplace.  Elshana had certainly never expected this kind of welcome, and these 
were far different people then those she remembered from her childhood.  Mort 
and Naru were unlike anyone she had known, and she wasn't certain at all how to 
handle them.

"Mort!  If you don't stop starin' I'm going to have to poke you're eyes out!" 
Naru yelled, and then handed Elshana the stew.  "Here you go, dear."

"It's not like I have anything worth starin' at here!"  Mort yelled back with a 
toothless grin.  

"So you're saying I'm a hag, are ya?  Well, I say you're sleepin' with the pigs 
tonight!" 

"I didn't know you're sisters were coming by!"

Elshana just watched in awed silence, eating her stew as the couple continued 
their banter.  At first, Elshana though they were fighting, but quickly realized 
it was their peculiar way of showing their love.  She didn't pretend to 
understand it, but saw no need to interject herself into their conversation 
either.  In fact, she enjoyed the stew too much to bother interrupting the 
couple as they continued to poke at each other.

By the time Elshana had finished off the last drop of broth, the couple had 
ended their argument, and Mort was snoring loudly on their bed.  Naru tidied up 
the room and then sat down beside her young guest. 

"We don't have much in the way of comforts, but you can use that mat to sleep 
on.  Mort and I'll be up early in the morning to feed the animals, so you'd best 
get some sleep yourself."  Naru warned as she set off for bed.

"Thank you, Naru." Elshana was grateful for the stew and a warm place to sleep.  
In the days ahead, she wouldn't have such easy access to even these basics.  

"I'm happy to help, dear." Naru replied as she lay down to bed beside her 
snoring husband.

Elshana sat and considered the scene for a moment before she pulled out the mat 
and lay down to sleep.  As she drifted off, the young Ashari thought this was a 
very strange way to begin her quest.

***


The next morning, Elshana was woken by the smell of bacon and eggs cooking.  She 
lay there for a few minutes enjoying the smell before pulling herself up.  
Elshana had slept amazingly well for being in such a strange place and she felt 
well rested and ready for the trials that awaited her.

"Good morning, dear.  Sit yourself down and I'll serve you up a fine breakfast." 
Naru said as she made up a plate for her guest.

Elshana did as she was told and eagerly enjoyed the hot meal.  

"I trust you slept well?"  Naru commented as she sat down with her own plate.

"Yes, Naru." Elshana replied simply.  

"Good, now let me give you a piece of advice.  I know you're going into Telain's 
Kingdom and its best if you don't go showin' that you're Ashari.  Wear the 
pendant under your shirt and don't go using your magic when anyone can see.  
Mort goes over the border from time to time and they don't take kindly to 
Ashari."  Naru warned.  She had hosted countless Ashari over the years on their 
way to Telain, and every time she hoped the young woman she sheltered would 
return.  

"Thank you for the warning, Naru." Elshana bowed her head in thanks.  In truth 
she hadn't even though about taking such precautions.  The thought that being 
Ashari could be considered a bad thing just hadn't occurred to her, but she 
realized quickly that she had many more lessons to learn before she could 
successfully defeat Telain.

Naru acknowledged with only a nod of her head left Elshana alone in the house.  
Elshana finished the meal and then went outside to bid farewell to her hosts.  
As she passed through the door, she felt something flow through her, and quickly 
turned around.  The well-kept little house was now run down, and looking for all 
appearances as if no one had lived there for years.  The rest of the farm was in 
similar disarray, looking long since abandoned.  

Elshana stood there in shock, then slowly backed away from the building and the 
strange feeling that was coming from it.  Morgan had told her stories of ghosts 
that took in weary travelers only to disappear the next day.  She had never 
fully believed the stories until now, as she stood outside the clearly abandoned 
farm that had seemed well lived in the night before.  The thought sent shivers 
coursing through her, but Elshana still bowed her head in thanks to the two 
spirits that had given her shelter the night before.

Elshana took the advice Naru had given her as well, placing the pendant under 
her shirt as she continued on and across the border into Telain's land.  The 
border was far more tangible than she had expected.  Elshana came across it in 
another abandoned field, a cold, dark feeling suddenly engulfed her as she 
walked.  She stood there for a moment, recognizing that she had stepped out of 
Hosul.  Elshana turned her head and looked forward and back.  To the naked eye, 
nothing seemed amiss, but she could feel the difference between her homeland and 
that of her enemy.  

Elshana appreciated the difference for only a moment before she continued on, 
heading for a thick patch of woods ahead of her.  As she approached the edge of 
the field, she saw a weather beaten path forged between the trees.  Lacking any 
better choices, she decided to follow it and find where it led.  Nothing was 
known of Telain's land, and every Ashari was forced to find their own way in his 
domain as they sought their fate.  Elshana was no different, and warily started 
on her journey as she descended into the thick woods ahead.

The woods seemed to go on without end and by mid day Elshana was well familiar 
with the sights and sounds of the forest she was traversing.  The woodland 
noises and the darkness of the shaded path combined to make her a bit jumpy.  
She was a stranger in this land and didn't know its dangers.  The fact that she 
knew trouble was waiting for her somewhere ahead did little to help her contain 
her fear.  Instead, Elshana concentrated on the noises around her, identifying 
them and tracking them, to help take her mind off what lay ahead.  

Hearing the sound of crunching brush beside her, Elshana drew her sword and 
swung around.  A very surprised young man stood there with the point of her 
sword jabbed into his throat.  As he stood there, clearly unwilling to provoke 
her, Elshana studied the man before her.  She figured he was not much older than 
herself, handsome but fresh, and clearly unarmed.  "Who are you and what is your 
purpose here?"

"I'm called Orin, and I don't see what business you have asking my purpose." The 
young man replied with as much confidence as could be expected with a sword 
against his throat.

"Well, Orin, it's not wise to defy a lady who has a sword to your throat.  Why 
are you here?" Elshana asked again, pressing her sword slightly harder against 
his throat.  Her master's warning was loudly ringing in her ears, and she wasn't 
about to let her guard down yet.

Orin considered the woman before him for a moment before deciding it was not a 
good idea to defy her.  "I've came in search of my sister, she disappeared a 
week ago and I was sent to find her.  My family was afraid she may have gotten 
lost and stumbled into Telain's kingdom so I have came after her."

Elshana let her mind touch his aura, and confirmed that he wasn't trying to 
deceive her.  She pulled the sword away from his throat and returned it to its 
sheath.  "I'm Elshana, it isn't wise to travel these roads alone and unarmed."

"Tell me about it, it's not every day a beautiful woman puts a sword to your 
throat.  My I ask what you're doing here, Elshana?" Orin asked, relieved that he 
no longer had a sword at his neck.  

Elshana blushed at that, not expecting the compliment.  Still, she knew little 
of this man, and had no wish to reveal too much of her quest just yet.  "No, I 
can't tell you that.  I can tell you to turn around and return to your home.  
I'll keep an eye out for your sister and send her back as well.  It isn't safe 
for you to travel deeper into this land."

Orin considered the options for just a moment.  He already assumed Elshana was 
Ashari, there were no other reasons that a young woman would travel into this 
land or have the obvious skill and control with a sword as she had amply shown.  
"I told my family I would not return without her, and I will not break my word.  
Besides, it can't be safe for a girl like you to be traveling in this land armed 
or otherwise."

Elshana scoffed at that thought, but realized that for a normal girl this would 
be true, and unless she wanted to tell him that she was Ashari, she wouldn't be 
able to convince him that she would be able to take care of herself.  Besides, 
she hadn't had the company of men in some time, and she was curious about them.  
"Alright, just don't get in my way."

"You'll never even know I'm here."  Orin replied, pleased that she wasn't 
pushing him away.  He wouldn't have listened to her anyway, but was glad that he 
could stay at her side.  Even if she was Ashari, she could use an extra hand, 
and she was quite fetching as well.  

"Good."  Elshana said, and quickly returned to the path.  "I suggest we get 
going if we have any chance of finding some place to stay for the night."

The two travelers then set off together and delved further into the dark woods.  
Elshana was content to walk behind him as they strolled down the path.  It gave 
her both the chance to study him and left her in the right place to defend 
herself if her tried anything.  By dusk they were still in the woods, but they 
found a small clearing and settled down for the night.  Orin had brought a small 
pouch with basic supplies and soon they were dining on bread and meat over a 
warm fire.

"If you can't tell me anything about why you're here can you at least tell me 
about who you are?"  Orin asked as he ate.  Their conversation had been very 
sparse so far, and only about the possible perils in the woods surrounding them.

"I'm a blacksmith's daughter from the town of Lorin.  There really isn't much to 
tell, I've been in school for most of my life and now I'm taking this journey." 
Elshana answered, careful not to reveal too much about herself.  Unfortunately, 
she didn't have a great deal of experience with which to lie, so she settled 
with keeping her past brief and uninteresting.  

Orin nodded his head in understanding, not really expecting a better answer from 
her.  "Can I assume that it was an all girls school you attended?"

"Yes, why do you ask?" Elshana replied.

"Well, you don't seem very comfortable with me, and a lovely girl like yourself 
would normally be married with a couple children already.  Not going off on some 
journey into Telain's Kingdom." Orin replied simply.  

Elshana blushed again at the thought.  In all her years of training she had 
never really thought of herself as a woman, pretty or otherwise.  She hadn't 
really considered having a family either, the quest ahead of her had consumed 
those desires and she had forgotten them over time.

"I just don't know you, Orin, and in this land I don't trust everything I see." 
Elshana responded, trying to skirt the questions of her femininity.  In truth, 
she didn't know how to handle him, the masculine side of his aura was beyond her 
full comprehension, having not dealt with a man before.  Because of this, she 
kept herself at arm's length to him and studied him as best she could.

Orin nodded again and they finished their meal in silence.  After that they lay 
down on opposite sides of the fire and drifted off to sleep to the sounds of the 
forest at night and the crackling of their fire.

Part 2/4 (mf mc nc)


The next day the pair traveled through the remainder of the forest and by mid 
day had came to the edge of a small town.  It was a small village of only a 
couple dozen houses, a blacksmith, and an inn.  Both being hungry and a little 
tired, Elshana and Orin decided to try the inn.  Elshana wasn't certain that 
mingling with the people of Telain's Kingdom was a good idea, but decided it was 
best to find out now before traveling deeper into their land.  

The inn was fairly busy for an afternoon, but the two travelers easily found 
seats near the door.  Around them was what looked to be almost all the adult 
townsfolk scattered amongst the tables.  Elshana thought that was rather odd, 
but dismissed the thought as they were brought a couple bowls of wonderful 
smelling stew.  The pair enjoyed the food in silence as they both studied the 
people around them.  No one had paid the two visitors any attention, even the 
serving girl had ignored them, save collecting coin for the meal.  Elshana 
thought that was rather strange, especially for such a small border town, but 
was relieved by it as well.  If this was the case every where, she would be able 
to conduct her quest and still enjoy a good meal and a bed from time to time.

Just as they finished their meal, the serving girl came back out carrying a 
small bell.  Elshana watched the girl stroll into the middle of the room with a 
gentle sway of her hips.  She didn't understand what this could be, and quickly 
surmised that it must be some local custom.  The girl looked around the room for 
a moment before she smiled and rang the bell.  Elshana felt the vibration flow 
through her, felt the power the bell had just released.  She realized that the 
bell held some kind of magic, and that she had been in its path.

The behavior from the inn's other patrons quickly grabbed Elshana's attention 
away from the magic bell.  The instant the bell rang out, all the women pulled 
off their clothes and knelt before the men beside them.  Elshana was shocked as 
she watched women young and old fall to their knees.  As they did, their male 
companions barked out orders and Elshana watched as all of the women eagerly 
obeyed the commands.

One young girl descended upon a man's lap, grinning stupidly as she pulled down 
his trousers.  Elshana watched as the girl pulled out his member and engulfed 
the thick shaft with her mouth.  Elshana had never seen a naked man before that 
moment, and was shocked at the display before her.  She also felt a nagging pull 
on her mind as her hands unconsciously drew up to her shirt.  She tried to focus 
on the pull, to contain and extinguish it.

Elshana's concentration was broken by a cry of passion from another woman.  
Elshana turned to see a mature woman being impaled on a man's cock.  The woman 
was lying on a table, a look of ecstasy across her face as her pussy was filled.  
Elshana watched with stunned awe as the woman was fucked before her, moaning as 
her partner mauled her breasts.  She didn't even notice that her hands had 
already loosened her shirt and was slowly pulling it back as the orgy continued 
all around her.  

Elshana had led a shelter life when it came to sex, and had never even known 
that her plump mound held such an opening.  Her tender self-explorations had 
always been halted by her maidenhood, though she had no idea that such a passage 
existed past that gate.  As Elshana watched the women around her being used, her 
own long ignored passions began to build.  She didn't understand it as she felt 
a strange tingling between her legs coupled with a growing emptiness in her 
loins.  Elshana was already being whisked away by the spell as her hands pulled 
back her shirt, revealing her pert, round breasts to anyone who was watching.

Orin was watching the scene with equally shock.  He was not nearly so sheltered 
sexually, understanding the basics of the game fully, though he had yet to lay 
with a woman.  He watched in awe, studying every act and the curves of every 
young woman lying bare around him.  Orin didn't even notice his companion's 
capture by the bell's magic as he surveyed the writhing flesh before him.

Elshana was whisked back to reality as she felt two hands cup her waist and 
pulled her up.  

"You don't mind my taking the little lass for a spin do ya, son?"  Asked the man 
behind her with a gruff voice.

The situation took a moment to sink in to Elshana as her body readied itself for 
the stranger.  The realization of what was going on allowed her to fight against 
her budding passion, however and she spun around.  Holding out her palm, Elshana 
summed her powers without thinking and tossed the man across the room.  
Realizing what she had just done, she turned to Orin and grabbed his arm.  
"We've got to get out of here, now!"

It took her several tugs at his arm before Orin finally turned and followed her 
out of the inn.  Her actions had not gone unnoticed however and several of the 
men pulled themselves away from their partners and moved to follow the travelers 
out the door.

As she passed through the door, Elshana felt as if a weight had been lifted from 
her thoughts and she quickly realized that her shirt was still open and 
displaying her breasts.  She rapidly closed the shirt but not before Orin had 
the chance to appreciate them.  Elshana reddened as she fastened the shirt, but 
the sounds of commotion behind them roused her from her embarrassment and she 
ran out of town as quickly as she could with Orin in tow.

"What was going on in there?" Orin asked, feeling a bit shell shocked himself, 
though he had thoroughly enjoyed the scene.

"That bell had some kind of magic, I felt it when it ringed." Elshana replied as 
they ran towards another patch of woods.  The men behind them quickly fell 
behind, and the two were soon out of danger and safely hiding in the woods.  

"It's a good thing you fought it off, I don't think they would have let us go 
once they found out you were Ashari." Orin commented as they rested.

"How did you know?" Elshana replied before she had a chance to consider those 
words.  She quickly realized how foolish it was to think he wouldn't figure it 
out.

"Between your resisting that spell and the fact that you're traveling into 
Telain's Kingdom, it was pretty obvious, Elshana.  Don't worry, your secret's 
safe with me, I just want to find my sister and go home, and I think I'm going 
to need your help to pull it off." Orin replied.  He knew little about the 
Ashari besides rumor and story, but he knew they controlled magic, and that was 
going to be very useful.

"Okay."  Elshana sat thinking for a moment.  "What are we going to do now?  If 
every town is like this, we're going to have to avoid every village on our way.  
If they even suspect I'm Ashari, they'll probably be watching for us too."  

"Can you conjure up food with your magic?  If we can eat there isn't any need 
for us to even risk coming close to another village." Orin asked.  

"Yes, but only food that didn't come from an animal.  I suppose we can get by on 
that." Elshana answered.  She wasn't very comfortable using her magic for food, 
but it seemed a wiser choice than risking going into another village.  It wasn't 
against any rules to use her magic this way, but it smacked of self-reward, and 
that was something magic couldn't be used for.  

"Good, we can stretch out the last of my meat for a few days.  After that we can 
hunt or fish if we need to." 

They rested for a few more minutes, listening carefully for the sounds of 
pursuers and grateful that none could be heard.  It had been a close call but 
they were safe for now.  Elshana assumed they would warn the rest of Telain's 
Kingdom, and she only hoped that little stop wouldn't result in the end of her 
quest.  There was nothing more she could do about it yet, and so they started 
off again, strolling deeper into the forest.  

As they walked further into the trees, Elshana began to notice a subtle power 
flowing through the land.  When she had first left Hosul, she had noticed her 
homelands power fade away and now she felt the power of Telain's Kingdom.  As 
she continued, Elshana began to sense a subtly to the energy, a direction of 
strength leading her towards the source of he power.  She realized that 
following the beacon would lead her to Telain and her Ashari sisters, and she 
set herself in that direction, heading for her destiny.

As they made camp for the night, Elshana decided to try satisfying her curiosity 
over the events at the inn.  "Orin, do you mind if I ask you something?"

"Go right ahead." Orin replied as he munched on a piece of bread.

Elshana fumbled with just how to ask her question, not sure at all how to begin.  
"Back at the inn, what were they doing?"

Orin sat back, stunned both by the question and the innocence it conveyed.  He 
could hardly believe a lovely young woman could be so ignorant about such 
things.  "Do you know anything about sex, Elshana?"

The girl could only shake her head no, not even knowing the word, though she 
assumed it had something to do with the scenes she had witnessed back at the 
inn.

Orin thought for a moment before deciding how to proceed.  He quickly fumbled 
his ways through the basics of lovemaking, surprised as Elshana seemed to absorb 
every word attentively with only curiosity and not apprehension.

"So I guess you liked looking at my breasts." Elshana smiled wryly, already 
grasping the game.  Her strange reaction in the inn also made sense to her know, 
as she had been enchanted to join in the orgy and her body was preparing to be 
used.  Elshana shivered slightly at the thought, though she wasn't sure if it 
was from arousal or apprehension.

Orin only smiled back and nodded his head.  He had enjoyed her pert cream color 
mounds and their pink little nipples.  Excluding the other women at the inn, 
they were the first breasts he remembered seeing bare and were certainly his 
favorites.  Orin wondered just how far this conversation was going to go, and 
was already hard from their earlier discussion.

Elshana considered herself carefully and decided that she didn't want to provoke 
Orin into doing something she'd regret.  As he explained it, sexual passion 
could lay waste to a person's reason as they focused on sex, and she wasn't 
ready to go that far yet, or provoke Orin into forcing himself upon her.  

"Okay, I think we'd better get some sleep, we've got a long way to go tomorrow." 
Orin said as he rolled over.  He saw Elshana's self-assessment and decided it 
wasn't the time to pursue her more intimately.  Given her frank ability to 
discuss such matters, Orin didn't figure she had many inhibitions, but didn't 
want to risk upsetting her either.  If she did choose to lay with him it would 
be far more enjoyable than if he pushed her into coupling now against her better 
judgement.

Elshana was grateful for her companion's self control and lay down for her own 
sleep.  She considered the dangers ahead and the new discoveries of her own body 
as she drifted off to another pleasant rest in the woods of Telain's Kingdom.

***


Elshana and Orin continued on their journey for several days, heading ever 
closer to Telain.  Every day, Elshana felt his power grow closer and she 
continued to explore the ripples of energy flowing from him.  She knew it would 
not be long before she stood before him and would face her destiny.

Much of the journey was made in silence to avoid accidentally alerting local 
folk of their passing.  They crept quietly past several more villages, though 
sometimes they would sit on the edge of clearing and watch what went on.  
Elshana would reach out with her senses and listen and watch the goings on of 
the townsfolk.  Orin assumed this as he watched her meditate but never fully 
grasped how complete her observations were.  

Elshana watched and listened for anything that said the locals knew of them, and 
she also kept watch for anything relating to the ritual they had observed in the 
first village.  The villages they came to didn't seem to be alerted to their 
presence, which lifted Elshana's spirits.  She didn't want to risk going into 
another village, but it was good to know they weren't being watched for.  

As Elshana reached out to observe the forth village they came upon, she noticed 
that the townsfolk had gather much as the folk of the first town many days ago.  
She focused her attention intently upon every facet she could to learn more 
about the strange ritual, beyond just the sexual rites.  She hadn't learned 
anything before a serving girl came out with a bell and began another magic 
induced orgy.  Being out of spell's power, Elshana now had the chance to observe 
the events without falling victim to the magic.  Her own curiosity got the 
better of her and she shifted her attention from couple to couple as the orgy 
continued.  Her attention finally focused on one couple, both young and virile.  
The girl was about her age, with long dark hair, ample breasts and a nicely 
curved sexy form that was lying on top of a table.  The girl was completely 
consumed by lust, and Elshana felt her own fires light just looking into the 
eyes of the girl as she was absorbed in an all consuming passion.  Her partner 
was also quite handsome and Elshana couldn't help but focus on his proud shaft 
as it plunged repeatedly into the girl's folds.  Elshana couldn't help but feel 
aroused as she watched, and listened both to the sounds of the general orgy and 
the cries of pleasure from the couple she was focused on.  She couldn't help but 
imagine herself in that position, with Orin plunging into her, and she felt her 
own passions spark at the thought.  

Elshana didn't notice when on of her hands dropped between her legs and began to 
caress her folds through her clothes.  Orin did however, and quietly watched her 
with growing interest.  He assumed quite quickly just what she was watching so 
intently.  He didn't know how she completely she could observe the events in the 
town's inn, but Orin had well since guessed what was going on inside.  He smiled 
inwardly as he watched the lovely Ashari masturbate before him.  

The orgy continued for some time, and Elshana continued to watch just as 
intently.  The couple she had been watching climaxed after a bit of heavy 
thrusting and screams of passion.  Elshana then watched in amazement as the girl 
pulled herself away and quickly found another waiting man.  The girl wrapped her 
naked flesh around him and quickly aroused his shaft with a careful caress.  
After captivating his interest, she leaned over a table and turned back to the 
man, calling for him to take her and waving her ass seductively.  The man didn't 
make her wait long, and Elshana gasped as she watched him sink his length into 
the waiting girl.  The girl let out a cry of passion and thanks and spurred the 
man on to use her feminine charms.  Elshana watched as this continued for much 
of the after noon.  The girl gave herself wantonly to seven more men, each time 
behaving like a sex-crazed animal.  The rest of the women were no different, and 
as Elshana watched the town women whore out their bodies she realized that they 
were all rather pretty.  She was quite surprised by this, as one would expect 
some homely ladies in a town of this size, but even the ugliest of the women 
were lovely and shapely.  Elshana could only assume that this was from some 
magic, and was rather awed by that kind of power.  

Finally the orgy ended in one communal climax, and the sexual energy that flowed 
caught Elshana rather off guard.  She felt her own passions suddenly flash as 
well, and she quaked with pleasure and moaned slightly, completely forgetting 
her companion.  With that it was over, and Elshana watched with interest as all 
of the women seamed to suddenly awaken.  Most of the women dashed for their 
clothing and quickly covered themselves, a feeling of shame and dread flowing 
from them.  The rest seemed more resigned, and Elshana sensed a surrender of 
spirit in them.  Finally a small group of girls, including the one Elshana had 
watched, stood stoic, neither surrendering nor feeling shamed by the magic.  
Elshana was a bit surprised by this, and quickly focused her attention.  A 
moment later she had retrieved the location of the girl's house and pleased that 
it was a farmstead both away from the town and along their path.  Elshana was 
hoping to find out more about the magic of the bell and hopefully a bit more 
about the hold that Telain maintained over his dominion.  With that learned, she 
finally pulled back her attention and returned her senses fully to her body.  
Elshana was still somewhat aroused, and she shocked to find her hand between her 
legs and a noticeable dampness on the cloth she had forced into her mound.  She 
quickly realized what she must have done, and quickly turned a very deep shade 
of red as she looked over to a smirking Orin.

A simple look shared all the feelings and thoughts they needed to.  Besides, 
Elshana was in no mood to discuss her display with him quite yet, and Orin was 
wise enough not to tease or even comment.  Without a word, they started off 
again, travelling in the woods that surrounded the town and off in the direction 
of the homestead.  They strayed far into the woods to be sure to avoid the 
townsfolk, and marched on till they reached a patch of grass along a riverbank.  

Elshana was feeling rather sweaty and smelt an odd musk from her clothes and 
decided now was as good a time as any to take care of it.  "I'm going to wash my 
clothes and bathe, if you can stand guard without peaking."

Orin laughed at that.  "It'll be hard but I can keep my eyes to myself."

Elshana smiled at that.  She was growing used to Orin's less than veiled 
compliments over their journey, and was quickly coming to like the flattery.  
With that taken care of, she quickly strolled down to a small outcropping of 
trees along the river, putting them between her and Orin.  With due haste she 
stripped off her soiled clothes and rinsed them quickly in the river's fresh 
water.  She felt a bit strange standing naked along the riverbank, but it was a 
enjoyably natural feeling as well.  Elshana finished rinsing her clothes and 
threw them over a branch.  They were made of a fast drying cloth and would be 
fresh and dry by the time she finished bathing.

The water was cool against her skin, but Elshana felt refreshed as the river 
water washed away the dirt and grime she had collected over her journey.  The 
feeling of the water flowing over her naked flesh was very relaxing as well.  
She had never felt quite so in tune with nature as she did at that moment, as 
she gently splashed around on the edge of the river.  She opened herself up to 
the world around her, and she felt the flow of power within Telain's kingdom.  
Certainly there was a dark foreboding feeling permeating his land, but as she 
opened herself up, Elshana felt an undercurrent below this darkness.  It was a 
strange energy to her senses, though familiar as well.  It took her a moment to 
realize it was a less intense form of the same energy that she had felt 
emanating from the magic bell.  

As Elshana continued to cleanse herself in the river's clean water, she 
continued to explore this strange new energy flowing around her.  She didn't 
even notice as her hands began to pay more attention to her sensitive breasts 
and feminine folds as she wiped off the dirt clinging to her skin.  It wasn't 
until her roaming hands firmly cupped a breast and her mound simultaneously that 
Elshana realized that state she was in.  She felt strange warmth inside her and 
a growing yearning in her loins.  She quickly realized that she must be getting 
aroused, and her curiosity drove her to continue her self-exploration.  

Orin waited intently on the other side of the trees, keeping a lookout for any 
unwelcome visitors.  He was seriously tempted to sneak a peak at his lovely 
companion, but dismissed the thought.  He was already certain that Elshana was 
warming up to him, and it wouldn't be long before she shared her charms 
willingly, and Orin had no intention of delaying that.  It wasn't until he began 
to hear light moans from the other side of the trees that he began to rethink 
his decision.

Elshana couldn't contain herself.  She felt so strange and good at the same 
time, and her hands seemed to be working their own magic on her sensitive flesh.  
She tried to stifle her passionate noises, but she couldn't stop from making 
them.  Her thoughts began to turn to the scenes she had witnessed just a few 
hours ago and Elshana's remaining self control faded away.  She was moaning 
openly now as her hands massaged her sensitive flesh, but she still couldn't ebb 
the feeling of emptiness from between her legs.  

It was then that Elshana heard a rustling of brush from the shore and she looked 
up to see Orin looking at her with a strange expression.  She realized the scene 
she had created for him, her nude form standing waste deep in the river, clearly 
playing with herself.  She stood there dumbfounded for a moment, as her hands 
continued their work, unsure of what to do.  Her body cried out with a need 
Elshana had never felt before, but her mind wasn't certain if she should give 
in.  The battle was short lived however and her curiosity and arousal won out.

She pulled her hands to her sides with some difficulty and turned to her peeping 
companion.  "Well, now that you've seen me you may as well join me down here and 
wash off your own stench."

"Are you sure?" Orin replied, a bit uncertain, after all Elshana was still 
Ashari and he didn't know what she could do to him if she felt some form of 
revenge was due.

Elshana just stood there with a wry and hungry look on her face as she smiled 
slightly.  Orin didn't make her wait long and soon he was splashing into the 
water as naked as she was.  He was careful not to get to close as he washed off, 
though he was somewhat surprised that she continued to wash beside him without 
any further concern for her nudity.

Elshana was quickly growing impatient with Orin, she was trying her best to be 
inviting.  She could sense his almost undivided attention on her, but she needed 
more than just the brushing of his leering gaze upon her flesh.  Pushing down 
the last bit of uncertainty, she waded over to him and pressed her breasts 
against his back and whispered into his ear.  "Do you mind if I help?"

"Um, okay." Orin replied taken aback by Elshana's sudden assertiveness and the 
feeling of her naked flesh pressed against his back.  His own desires wouldn't 
let him turn her down however and he enjoyed the feeling of her delicate hands 
running over his body.

Elshana barely kept herself from smothering Orin, but she contented herself with 
a determined exploration of his body.  Thanks to the earlier scenes she had 
watched, Elshana knew what to expect, but she had never touched a man so 
intimately.  She ran her hands over his muscular chest and flat stomach, careful 
not to descend to quickly to the item of her greatest curiosity which hung 
between his legs.  After a few minutes of exploring his upper body, her hands 
descended and found his erect member waiting.  Orin moaned as her hands wrapped 
around his shaft, carefully exploring the sensitive flesh.  Elshana again 
wondered how such a large shaft could fit inside her, but the still burning ache 
between her legs pushed her on.  

Elshana pulled back and swung herself around, and pulled Orin to her.  She saw a 
look of surprise and pleasure in his eyes as she paused a moment before 
embracing and kissing him passionately.  They stood there for several minutes, 
warmly embracing in the cool water of the river, their naked bodies pressed 
together happily.  Elshana was moved by the feeling inside her, it was so right 
to be here like this, pressing her willing naked flesh against a handsome man.  
She could hardly bear to pull herself away from that wonderful moment, but the 
ache from her loins called out to be soothed and Elshana could not resist that 
need.

They waded back out the river, hand in hand, and eagerly fell to the ground on 
the riverbank embracing again with same passion as before.  Elshana was on the 
bottom, unconsciously spreading her legs for Orin to help him rest atop her.  
Their hands began to explore the other's body and they both let out moans from 
their joined lips as their hands caressed the other.  Elshana moaned as she felt 
Orin cup one breast and then the other.  She had never felt another's hand on 
those tender globes, and she was dismayed when he pulled his hands away to 
continue their exploration.  When his roaming hands found her aching mound she 
barely kept her lips to his as she let out another soft cry of passion.  Orin's 
finger's explored her tender flesh with care, sparking pleasure as he gently ran 
his fingers over her aroused nether lips.  

Finally, Elshana reached down to her own prize and wrapped her delicate fingers 
around Orin's hard shaft.  She sensed his surprise when she shifted her hips to 
perfectly position herself for mounting.  The ache needed to be soothed, and 
Elshana wanted it.  With a bit of careful attention, she spread her legs and 
guided the bulging head of Orin's member to her entrance.  Then she looked up 
into his eyes, communicating her love and her need without words.  

Orin smiled warmly back, they understood each other intimately at that moment, 
laying naked on the riverbank about to consummate a love they had yet to admit 
aloud.  Elshana gasped as she felt Orin push forward, parting her tender flesh 
and sinking into her unexplored depths.  The sensation was beyond words, Elshana 
had never felt something so wonderful and strange in all her days.  A short pain 
pulled her back from the bliss, making her strangely aware of being so filled.  
Orin then rested, fully inside Elshana's welcoming flesh.  The sensation was 
beyond their experience, and all they could do was kiss passionately again as 
their bodies were so intimately joined.

After another few minutes of kissing, Orin pulled back and withdrew himself 
slowly from Elshana's depths.  She gasped at the sensation, absorbed by an 
internal vision of her internal folds collapsing as his shaft pulled back.  He 
pulled back until he again sat at her gates, resting only a moment before 
plunging back into her tender warmth.  Elshana moaned loudly as she felt his 
member spear her again.  She could scarcely believe how good it felt.  As Orin 
pulled back again, Elshana did as well and she thrust her hips forward to meet 
his next thrust, gasping again from the wondrous feeling.

Soon they were humping against each other with abandon, both moaning and 
grunting in pleasure as they coupled.  Elshana felt a growing passion inside 
her, growing with every filling thrust of Orin's shaft inside her.  She was 
completely lost in the sensation, absorbed by the wondrous feeling as she 
embraced her lover.  Finally, the budding passion bloomed and Elshana cried out 
with a new vigor her entire body shivering with pleasure.  She was lost to bliss 
in that moment and the world fell away.  Elshana didn't even notice Orin's final 
thrust or being filled with his seed.  She was absorbed in pleasure, wrapping 
herself tightly to Orin and kissing him with mindless abandon.  

The couple laid still for a long while after that, basking in the waning passion 
that had gripped them, enjoying the gentle breeze across their skin.  It was 
nearly dark again before Elshana decided to get up, shaking off the slight nap 
she had taken in Orin's arms.  She rolled on top of him playfully and kissed him 
gently on the forehead to wake him up.

"Come on, we should get going." Elshana chimed softly.  She melted a bit inside 
as he smiled back up at her.  With that she rolled off again and scampered over 
to her clothes.  Modesty wasn't a concern now, but the cool evening air was and 
Elshana quickly wrapped herself back up as Orin watched sleepily.  

Orin pulled himself up a moment later and donned his own clothes.  As they 
walked back to the path, Elshana pulled herself up to his side.

"Thanks, Orin." Elshana smiled sweetly and kissed him on the cheek.  She wasn't 
quite sure just how to thank him fully for the wonderful feelings they had just 
shared.

Orin gripped her hand and returned the kiss.  They continued along in silence, 
simply enjoying being together and the sights, sounds and smells of the woods 
around them.  

As she went to sleep that evening, Elshana considered her new feelings for Orin.  
At first she had tolerated his presence, but now she couldn't even consider what 
it would be like on this journey without him.  The dangers ahead worried her 
however.  Soon she would have to confront Telain, and Orin had no defense 
against Telain's sorcery.  Elshana began to wonder just what she could do to 
protect him.  The next day they would be at the farm of the girl from the inn, 
and Elshana hoped to find the answer to some of those questions there.  

The next day began at dawn like all the others, except that the two travelers 
had spent the evening in each other's arms instead of on opposite sides of the 
fire.  It took Elshana a moment to realize why she had an arm wrapped around her 
when she woke up, but quickly remember and snuggled against Orin's warm chest.  
It was far more comfortable sleeping together than alone, she thought, though it 
did slow her desire to get moving.  Finally, she decided it was time and pulled 
away from Orin's sleeping form and pulled together something for breakfast from 
their packs.  Orin was always a slow riser, and usually Elshana jostled him 
awake after eating her own breakfast, but now she felt compelled to fix him 
something as well.

She woke him with a gentle kiss and they ate in a warm silence.  Elshana 
explained where they were going quickly and soon they were on their way again 
towards the home of the girl.  Elshana didn't know what to expect, but she hoped 
to learn more of the mysteries of Telain's land before being forced to confront 
him, and she had sensed that this girl would help them.

It was mid-day before they reached the edge of the farm, and Elshana was careful 
to sense for any occupants besides the girl.  Again, she reached out with her 
mind and surveyed the small homestead.  It was no more than a small house and a 
few pens for chickens and pigs along with a couple horses and a few patches of 
plowed land.  Luck was with them, and the girl was alone in the house, and no 
one else was close enough for Elshana to sense.  With that discerned, they 
cautiously walked up to the house, not wanting to risk scaring off the girl.

As they walked up to the door, they were surprised when it swung open before 
them, with the girl standing watch just inside.  

"Come in, Ashari, I am Walani.  I've been expecting you.  Though I am surprised 
by your companion.  I'm sure you both would like a hot meal." The girl motioned 
the two inside.  

"How did you know we were coming?" Elshana asked.  She followed the girl in to 
the house and took a place at the wood table in the main room.  Orin followed 
behind quietly, content to let Elshana lead the way.

"In the days before Telain came I was a seer.  I've lost most of my skills since 
then, but I can still sense when magic is used around me.  I have encountered 
Ashari before, and spoke with them much like I will with you.  I sensed your 
magic yesterday and I've been waiting since.  My husband will not return till 
the evening, so we have until then." Walani answered as she poured two bowls of 
stew from a kettle over the fire.  

"But Telain has been here for centuries!" Elshana objected.

"Yes that is true, eat the stew and I'll explain." Walani began.  "I know you 
have witnessed the effects of the Gulin Bell, it is the means by which Telain 
came to rule this land and how I can still be here today.  The bell releases a 
spell that controls the women within its presence and sends us into a sexual 
heat we can not control.  The bell harnesses our passionate energies for Telain 
and effects more permanent changes upon the women under its spell.  I stand 
before you as a beautiful girl due to its powers.  When I was first introduced 
to the bell's power I was a withering old woman, and after only a few chimes I 
regained my youth.  Since then I have not aged a day.  The bell harbors a more 
sinister power as well, for I can not disobey a man nor seek to harm one since I 
first heard the chime.  I have become little more than chattel since Telain 
came, as have all the women of this land.  We are passed from man to man, as 
servants and wives until our novelty wears thin and we are passed along again.  
I believe that the men are controlled as well, though only so far as to forge 
their loyalty to Telain."

Elshana listened attentively as she ate her stew.  She heard the ringing of 
disgust and frustration in Walani's voice as she described her fate.  This 
worried Elshana as well, she had no idea what she could do against such powers, 
and she knew she had heard the chime of the bell as well and felt its power.  
She did not know if the seed of her own failure had already been sown and that 
she simply was awaiting the final movement that would spell her doom.

Walani saw the trepidation in her guest's expression.  "I can not say if you can 
defeat this power.  I have seen several Ashari over the years and Telain has 
never lost his dominion.  Still, you are free and so long as that is so, there 
is hope.  If you do not forget yourself and you task, it is possible to defeat 
him, Ashari."

Elshana nodded meekly.  She could sense the age and the weariness in Walani.  
Elshana could scarcely imagine an existence such as Walani had endured, but that 
fueled her determination to fight.  Her master had always warned that fear and 
uncertainty lead to defeat, and Elshana knew she could not surrender now.

They talked for some time, but little important information was left to share.  
Walani had never been trained in sorcery, and didn't know or understand the 
powers at work, she could only sense ripples in the magic currents around her.  
Elshana realized she possessed the most important point of knowledge, that 
Telain's power flowed from the aroused passions of his people.  She did not know 
how to use this yet, but she knew it was a crucial key.

Finally, the day grew near its end and the pair of travelers set off again early 
enough to escape the notice of Walani's husband.  They walked back into the 
woods, both silently reflecting on Walani's warnings and the fate she had 
endured.  They also knew that somewhere in Telain's land Orin's sister had 
likely fallen prey to the bell, and was succumbing to the same fate.  That fact 
set a dark mood over the pair as they continued on their way towards the focus 
of Telain's power and the destiny that awaited them there.

The next few days were quiet as well.  Elshana was absorbed in her own 
calculation, trying to figure out how to defeat the enemy before her.  Orin was 
quiet also, determined not to interrupt Elshana's thoughts and sullen at the 
fate of his sister.  Unless Elshana could defeat Telain, there was no hope for 
his sister, and very likely Elshana would join the ranks of Telain's chattel 
women.  

Finally, they reached the edge of Telain's estate.  Elshana could feel a 
stronger current of his power flowing all around the castle which was still 
little more than a speck on the horizon.  Orin set off to find a river and some 
fish, while Elshana struck out to find some berries before they descended into 
the heart of Telain's realm.

As she walked down the path, picking off the ripe berries around, Elshana felt a 
strange pull behind her and she turn back towards the path she had just walked 
down.  Standing before her was a robed man, no taller than her, smiling merrily 
at her with the look of a master hunter in his eyes.

"Hello there, Elshana, I must say that Morgan has never disappointed me in the 
Ashari he sends me.  You have come a long way, and I'm pleased at the strength 
you've shown.  Most Ashari couldn't even resist the first bell.  Now, it is time 
for me to take my pleasure however, so please be so kind as to show me the 
fullness of you beauty dear girl." Telain greeted, sending out a surge of power 
towards the unprepared Ashari.

Elshana stood there aghast for a moment at his words before the wave of his 
magic reached her.  It was like the power of his bell, but stronger.  She knew 
what it was, and what her surrender meant and with that Elshana focused all her 
strength against the pull within her.  "I'll never give in!"

"Oh, so the dear girl thinks she can fight me."  Telain smiled smugly.  "You 
have no idea of my powers, Elshana, but I have little time to play today so I 
will make it fully clear to you."

Another wave of power swept through her, this time more intensely.  Elshana 
couldn't concentrate any longer, the compulsion within her was more than she 
could fight.  Her hands swept across her body with determined speed, disrobing 
for her enemy with barely a second thought.  Elshana knew it was wrong, and she 
tried to stop herself, but her body was beyond her control.  Within moments she 
stood before Telain completely naked, with her hands at her side.  She could 
only fume inside as his eyes explored her lovely curves.  

"Very nice, I can hardly wait to introduce you fully to your new life.  Time 
grows short however, and we must be going." Telain raised his hands and the pair 
disappeared from the wooded path.

Hours later Orin would find Elshana's discarded clothes and belongings along 
that path.  He quickly surmised her fate, and fell upon the path to the castle, 
determined to find her, and do his best to free her.

Part 3/4 (mf mc nc)


The feeling of hands coursing over her body roused Elshana from a strange 
slumber.  As her senses slowly came back to her, all she could do was rest and 
enjoy the feelings that were being stirred within her.  Her body was already 
beginning to ache with arousal.  Even as Elshana remembered where she must be, 
she had to struggle against her own desire to open her eyes and look around.

The hands caressing her body stopped as she surveyed her surroundings.  Elshana 
was surrounded by four lovely teenaged girls each as naked as she was and each 
caressing her sensitive flesh.  Each of the girls had a strangely vacuous and 
aroused look on their faces.  Elshana opened her mouth to ask a question and the 
girl to her right descended upon her parted lips.  A moment later, Elshana was 
being kissed passionately, and she couldn't resist returning the gesture.  As 
their lips pressed together, the other girls descended upon Elshana's exposed 
flesh.  Elshana moaned against the girls' lips as she felt both her nipples 
suckled on and her nether lips licked.  The girls continued their work on 
Elshana's body with practiced skill, playing her like a fiddle.  

Elshana was quickly lost in sensation, her entire body alight with pleasure and 
her thoughts drowned out by arousal.  She existed in a sea of hands and mouths, 
being caressed and licked and suckled.  Elshana could only writhe and moan 
against the onslaught of wonderful pleasure.  Time seemed to stand still, and 
she felt as if she was suspended in a moment of pure ecstasy.

Even as she was swept away by the wondrous feelings being sparked within her, 
Elshana held on with a small part of her rational mind.  She could feel the 
sexual energy being channeled into her from the girls around her.  Elshana 
realized that it was more than just their touch that was fueling her passions, 
but it didn't matter.  The sensations were to wonderful to seek escape from, 
rather she embraced it, dropping her defenses to the pleasure from her 
companions hands and from the energy being sent into her being.

There was no telling how long she existed in that state of ecstasy, engulfed in 
pleasure.  It was in this timeless state that Elshana felt the budding of a new 
pleasure within her.  She had experienced an orgasm before, but nothing like the 
one brewing inside her.  She could feel her body building to this release, and 
then the dam broke.  Elshana cried out in pleasure, her entire body radiating 
the same sexual energy that had just been fed into her.  The sensation was 
beyond description, all she could do was lay back and experience the waves of 
pure pleasure coursing through her.  

Elshana enjoyed the afterglow for several minutes as her keepers continued to 
caress her body, though far more casually now.  She could scarcely believe such 
pleasure was possible.  She was also afraid, she hadn't been able to resist even 
slightly, and she knew that Telain was even more powerful than these charges 
around her.  With that thought, Elshana took a closer look at the girls still 
gently exploring her body.  She didn't recognize three of the girls, but the one 
who had kissed her was familiar.  It was Liah, the last Ashari to go on the 
quest before Elshana.  

"Liah, what happened to you?" Elshana asked.  They had known each other before 
Liah had left, they hadn't been close friends but they had been sisters as all 
Ashari were.  Elshana still remembered her as a strong and confident girl, and 
was dismayed to see Liah here like this.

Liah smiled broadly.  "The Master freed me.  It's wonderful, Elshana, you'll 
see, he asked us to prepare you and then he will free you too."

"What did he free you from?" Elshana was already concerned just by the fawning 
tone in Liah's voice.  

"From worry, or work.  The Master has freed us all from that.  Now we exist just 
from pleasure.  I know you'll love it, Elshana, just like all our sisters do.  I 
know it's hard for you to see that now, but you'll understand when the Master 
sets you free." Liah replied, her voice wrapped in a dreamy tone that matched 
her nearly blank, if blissful, expression.

"But what of the quest, Liah, how could you surrender to Telain?" Elshana asked, 
trying to reach deeper into Liah's thoughts.  If she could just spark a part of 
the old Liah, perhaps there was still some hope to escape or defeat Telain.

Liah hung her head solemnly, pitying her charge.  "None of that matters, the 
Master showed all of us how wrong it was to fight him.  He'll help you 
understand as well, Elshana.  Soon, you'll see how good it is to serve him and 
be freed from all concern."

That was all Elshana could get from Liah.  She asked a few more questions, but 
Liah was unmoved in her devotion to her new life and subjugation to Telain.  
Elshana didn't know what had been done to Liah or the other girls around her, 
but she knew it was beyond her power to save them at the moment.  She couldn't 
even move away from their casually roaming hands.  All Elshana could do was lay 
on the bed, surrounded by fawning girls, and await the fate before her.

She didn't have to wait long.  A ripple coursed though the energy in the room 
and the girls pulled away.

"He is ready for you now, Elshana, go to him" Liah said in awe.

Elshana turned to object, but instead found herself rising from the bed she had 
been on.  She could feel the girls controlling her, and sending her towards the 
room's door, and presumably on to an existence as Telain's latest captive.

Elshana wasn't disappointed or relieved when she walked through the door to find 
another bedroom with Telain standing at the center, fully clothed and clearly 
waiting for her.  She was self conscious of the fact that she was standing 
before such an evil man completely naked and defenseless.  All Elshana had left 
was her will power, and she knew it wouldn't be enough against his power.

Telain stood there, admiring the well-formed body of his latest Ashari, a smug 
smile across his lips.  "You are remarkable, Elshana, lovely and strong.  I 
should have you know that by now Liah was begging for me to take her, to become 
my servant, but you still hold fast.  I do enjoy that.  Still, your fate is 
inedible now, dear girl.  Please make yourself comfortable on the bed and 
prepare yourself for me."

Elshana felt compelled to obey him.  She struggled against it, but she couldn't 
stop herself.  It was as if she was of two minds, instinctively she wanted to 
obey him, but rationally she fought back.  She wasn't certain what he meant by 
preparing herself, but as soon as she considered the question, her head seemed 
to fill with both the knowledge and the desire to do so.

Elshana walked to the bed, and sat on the edge.  For some reason she felt the 
need to smile warmly at her captor as she pulled herself to the middle of the 
bed and onto her back.  As she propped herself up on her elbows and spread her 
legs, Elshana watched Telain undress.  She gasped as he directed a flow of magic 
into her already prone form.  Her body was aflame with passion as she felt his 
power stoking her desire and arousal, her entire form called out to be used.  
Even as her body was fully under Telain's control, her thoughts were still her 
own, though now embattled by the desire to simply give into to the wonderful 
sensations being sparked within her.  Again she found her haven, the spark 
within her that had allowed her to resist before.  Elshana knew her time was 
short as she watched her captor remove the last of his garments and felt her 
loins aching to be filled.  She focused all of her mental strength on the 
shelter within her, wrapping her thoughts, her very consciousness into it.  In 
that moment, Elshana became to beings, one Ashari, pure of thought and purpose, 
and one slave, existing only for the pleasure of herself and her master.

Telain noticed a change in his new prize as he stood above her, appraising 
Elshana's lovely passion wracked form.  In that moment, he sensed her resistance 
ebb, and watched as her eyes took up a sparkle of acceptance similar to that of 
all his other Ashari.  Telain paused for a moment over her trembling, naked form 
considering her sudden surrender before descending upon her waiting form.

Elshana felt the duality of her perception as she watched Telain's bared form 
descend upon her.  She could sense her body's desire for this dark man as he 
moved atop her, and the fact that her body embraced him willingly.  It was a 
strange feeling for her as she watched her body make love to her enemy.  She 
could sense the waves of passion flowing through her, the wonderful feelings of 
Telain's hands cupping her breasts and her mound, but she was also detached, 
unaffected by the feelings coursing through her body, and controlling her form.  
With that, Elshana relaxed, and simply watched passively as her physical form 
passionately embraced the lord of this domain.

Telain took his time exploring the youthful form of his latest catch, enjoying 
her passionate moans as he cupped her firm orbs or parted her tender nether lips 
with a teasing finger.  Like all Ashari before her, Elshana was lovely and her 
body well formed.  Telain took great pleasure in that fact, knowing that the 
very magic that gave him his power would forever keep this morsel of female 
beauty forever as lovely as she was right now.

"You are lovely, Elshana, and you shall forever be as you are now.  I will save 
you from the ravages of age, and worry, as I have for all your sisters." Telain 
explained as he positioned himself between her waiting legs, staring intently 
into the eyes of his newest slave as he positioned his shaft against her 
opening.  "Are you ready to join your sisters, to be free as all Ashari are 
meant to be?"

Elshana watched as her body was overcame by passion as her nether lips were 
tickled by the head of Telain's shaft, aching to have it fill her.  She 
regretted that this was the only way, but did not resist her body's need or it's 
actions.  All Elshana could do was watch as she answered him.  "Yes, oh please 
set me free!"

She moaned loudly as Telain thrusted inside her.  Her dripping slit harboring no 
resistance to his plunging shaft, rather her hips pushed back to help him fill 
her.  As his harry sack rested on the sensitive flesh beneath her splayed 
opening, Elshana reached up and embraced Telain passionately, wrapping her legs 
around him and kissing him deeply.  

While their embrace continued, Elshana felt a growing flood of energy flowing 
into her form.  Cautiously she reached out, sensing the presence of her Ashari 
sisters standing around the bed and channeling sexual energy into her inflamed 
form.  With that warning, Elshana pulled her mind tighter around her shelter, 
holding on with every bit of strength to keep from being washed away and fully 
becoming one of Telain's captive Ashari.

Her body was in heaven, awash in pure arousal, absolute passion, and fully 
joined in the most wondrous way with a man.  When he began to pull back, the 
sensation of his shaft moving with her tender flesh was beyond description, she 
cried out at the wonder and the pure joy of the feeling as he retreated to her 
entrance.  A moment later all her thoughts were absorbed by the even more 
intense feeling of being filled again, of having her tender, aroused flesh 
parted.  As the pair began a slow humping motion, it was all Elshana could do to 
endure the all encompassing pleasure being focused upon her.  She was lost in 
the sensation, little more than an animal in heat as she moaned, grunted, and 
squealed as her body was so wondrously used by this evil lord.  

Time lost all meaning to her body and her mind as they coupled passionately on 
that bed, surrounded by a room full of nude Ashari.  Their movements and 
sensations had all become fluid, her body joined so intimately and fully with 
Telain.  They moved together in perfect form, meeting thrusts perfects, 
squeezing and thrusting at all the right moments to keeping adding to the fire 
consuming them.  Elshana could feel the energy coursing into her, stoked by her 
sisters, her captor and her own inflamed form.  Her body had surrendered to 
being used, to being fully open to this man and the wonderful feeling he 
skillfully managed with her.  

With a sudden fury, Elshana felt Telain passions peak as he pounded furiously 
into her willing folds.  She felt his seed spurt into her, and felt his released 
passions course through her.  Her own release came as his seed blasted into her, 
and she cried out again.  Her body was glowing with energy, her body engulfed by 
pleasure and passion beyond her ability to understand.  Elshana could only 
embrace it as it coursed through her.  She quaked with passion as her body 
flowed with sexual energy.  

As her orgasm slowly abated and the energy flowed from her, Elshana rested in 
Telain's arms.  Her mind slowly reasserted itself, though careful not to try 
taking back control of her body.  She could feel the sexual energy still flowing 
within her.  Even though it wasn't as strong as it had been, Elshana knew that 
she would succumb fully to Telain's control if she attempted to regain herself 
now.  Rather she watched her body embrace her captor in their post coupling 
rest.  Elshana could sense her bodies complete surrender to Telain, and that for 
the time being she would be his slave in flesh if not in mind.

The couple stayed like that for some time, recovering from the glorious coupling 
they had both enjoyed.  Elshana could not deny the absolute rapture that Telain 
had generated inside her, and was only glad she had found shelter from the store 
so she could save herself from complete surrender.  Still, a part of her wished 
she could have experienced it fully, but that would be too much of a price to 
pay for even that pleasure.

Finally, Telain roused himself and pulled off of the bed.  He watched as Elshana 
rolled over to watch him as he walked across the room.  Within her fawning 
expression, he thought he could sense something else, but he couldn't determine 
what it was.  Still, it disturbed him, as did something else about his new 
Ashari.  

"Rise, Elshana, and I welcome you to your new life.  It is time for you to be 
introduced to my castle." Telain ordered, and was pleased to watch the naked 
girl comply swiftly and merrily.  He took stock of the lovely young woman again 
as she stood proudly before him, unabashedly displaying her charms for him.  She 
was lovely, as were her sisters, and Telain felt the same attraction to her as 
he had to the first Ashari he had seen so long ago.  That girl was still housed 
within the his castle, and still as lovely as the day he had taken her for the 
first time, though he no longer thought much of her except when he took a new 
charge.  

Telain dressed again as Elshana watched, and he stepped over to a small stand, 
taking a pendant and chain in hand.  He walked over to Elshana and handed her 
the chain.  

"Place this pendant around your neck, my dear." Telain ordered.  Elshana 
followed without comment or even a pause to think.  The pendant was little more 
than a small yellowish crystal in a simple setting that bound it to the chain.  
The chain was fairly long as well, and as Elshana clasped the chain, the crystal 
rested at the top of the valley between her breasts.  

"This pendant will help you fully bind to me.  I could sense a part of you 
holding back as we embraced Elshana.  This pendant will hold all of your 
passion's energy within you until you fully embrace your new life.  Once you 
have done that you will be truly one with you sisters and with me, Elshana." 
Telain explained.

Elshana was of two minds about this, while she feared her shelter would fall, 
her body wished for the pendants help in quashing the last of her free will.  

"Thank you."  She chimed her body fully grateful for his kindness.

Telain simply smiled in response while he reached out to fondle one of Elshana's 
open breasts.  The girl moaned openly at the caress, thrusting her chest out to 
allow him better access to her pert orbs.  Telain continued this for a few 
moments, staring into Elshana's eyes, as she looked back with adoration and a 
newly budding arousal.  He stopped as the crystal began to glow ever so slightly 
in response to Elshana's renewed passions.

Elshana noticed the effect of the crystal as Telain pulled his hand back.  Even 
with his caresses gone, her fires didn't abate.  Her body was ready for more, 
craving the sensations she had been subjected too.  Elshana's mind was more 
wary, and again she stole herself against the coming onslaught.  She didn't know 
the power of the crystal fully, but she feared it would wear down at her with a 
raging flood of passion that even her shelter would fall victim to.  When that 
happened, Elshana knew she would become as mindless and servile as the rest of 
the Ashari now were.  Still there was nothing she could do for now.  She lacked 
the power to reaffirm control over her body and defeat Telain.  With that 
Elshana knew she had only a passive defense, that she would have to steal 
herself away, hoping for an opportunity to defeat Telain or escape before her 
mind joined her body in surrendering to Telain.

"Come, Elshana, it is time for you to meet my court." He beckoned, striding 
confidently out of the room.  Elshana didn't hesitate a moment, walking 
dutifully behind him, proudly displaying her sumptuous, young and entirely naked 
form.  

She followed him through several winding passageways.  Through every hall she 
noticed the magnificence of his wealth, as the walls were lined with tapestries, 
sculpture and paintings of a quality Elshana had never seen.  The few members of 
his court that they passed were similarly dressed in the finest of fabrics and 
tailoring.  As they passed these displays, Elshana could only wonder just how 
much Telain appreciated the raw beauty he had surrounded himself with.

Finally they reached what could only be described as Telain's throne room.  The 
room was decorated much as the halls, with the finest pieces of art decorating 
the walls on all sides.  The entire room was made of marble, from the floors to 
the walls and the ceiling, as well as supporting pillars that rounded the room.  
A carpeted path cut through the center of the room, leading from the main 
entrance to Telain's throne at the far end of the room.  On each side of the 
carpet was an arced table, curved so that everyone seated at the table would be 
pointing directly at Telain's throne.  His throne was the final piece of 
brilliance in the room, its frame was made of gold, magnificently crafted, with 
red cushions of the finest cloth.  The entire room was a testimony to 
extravagance and power, and there was no doubt just whose power it made homage 
to.

As the pair walked in the assembled court hushed instantly, all their eyes 
following their lord and the naked girl behind him.  Elshana could sense their 
reverence, wondering how much of it was real and how much a creation of Telain's 
manipulation.  Still, there were greater concerns for the moment, as she 
prepared herself for the coming onslaught she knew was about to be unleashed 
upon her.  While she took up position beside him at the throne she surveyed the 
room.  Telain's court was made up mostly of handsome men, all looking no more 
than thirty, though Elshana knew some must be much older.  She also noticed a 
slew of young women mixed amongst the men, all naked and all clearly recovering 
from intimate couplings they had been enjoying before their Lord arrived.  
Elshana wondered how many of them were Ashari, and quickly surmised that most if 
not all of them were by a quick sensing of their auras.

"Loyal subjects, I bring with me joyous news.  Another sister of the Ashari has 
joined us, to help us fulfill our mission in bringing peace and joy to the land.  
Let us welcome our latest sister, Elshana." Telain pronounced before his 
assembled court.  A heartfelt cheer went up from the crowd as Telain lead 
Elshana to the center of the hall and presented her to his subjects.  After a 
few minutes of general applause, Telain hushed them with a wave of his hand and 
placed his hand on Elshana's shoulder.  "Our new sister has a favor to ask of 
you, please hear her and aid her as you all can."

Elshana felt the wave of energy flow through her from Telain, carrying a new 
impulse to her body.  "I ask all of you to help me to fully join in the freedom 
our master offers.  He was kind to offer me this chance to serve him, but a part 
of me still resists the joy he has given my sisters.  Please aid me in accepting 
my new master and my new life."

As she finished her pleading, she felt a wave of pure arousal hit her from all 
sides.  Her consciousness was nearly overcame by the sudden attack and Elshana 
barely was able to fully retreat back into her mental shelter as several member 
of the court moved to embrace her.  Before Elshana could even react she was 
embraced by several of Telain's subjects.  She was gently laid upon her back by 
two strong men as she was quickly surrounded.  As she found herself resting upon 
a pile of pillows she found her entire body under pleasurable assault.  She felt 
hands and mouths exploring and caressing her sensitive flesh.  It was all she 
could to moan in pleasure as hands massaged every part of her body, and lips 
suckling at her most tender points.  Elshana couldn't even open her eyes, being 
completely absorbed in the sea of hands coursing over her body.  Even her 
earlier session with several Ashari earlier was nothing compared to the feelings 
being stoked within her.  Worse still was the power of the crystal still 
dangling around her neck.  Elshana could feel its power magnifying the 
sensation, reinforcing her own passion.  Even as she held firm in her mind, she 
wondered how long she could resist this torrent flowing through her body before 
she gave in and became another of Telain's slaves.

Her thoughts were stirred again as she felt some of the hands withdraw, opening 
her lower body to a new assault.  She wondered idly what was to happen for only 
a moment when she felt someone descend upon her and sensed the probing of a 
shaft at her gates.  Her body cried out with passion and pushed against the 
probing member, helping to firmly seat his head within her.  Elshana moaned as 
her companion completed their coupling, filling her wonderfully.  She 
immediately began to hump herself against him and his impaling shaft, grunting 
with an animal passion that was quickly consuming her.  Her lover responded 
quickly to her needs, and built up to a rapid pace of thrusts into her searing 
folds.  The feelings were just too much for her now as she was wildly embracing 
the stranger moving within her.  Her mind closed itself completely from the 
sensations of her flesh, and her body lapsed into a wondrous sexual bliss 
spurred on by Telain's court and his crystal.

Elshana had no idea how long her passion induced coupling continued when her 
mind awoke some time later.  Her body still burned with an uncontrollable 
passion.  Her loins ached with need, even as she could feel a thick trail of 
seed flowing from her folds.  Her breasts cried out to be caressed as her entire 
body screamed out to be touched and massaged.  It was only after this assault of 
sensation did Elshana realize she was standing next to Telain's throne with her 
hands and feet lashed to a frame standing around her, leaving her spread eagle 
to the gathered court.

As she took in her latest predicament Elshana quickly realized what was 
happening.  Her own body was fighting against her, the part of her that had 
already surrendered was fighting for full control.  The passion that Telain's 
court had stoked within her flesh was now fully contained within the crystal, 
reflecting back into Elshana's aching flesh.  She was only beginning to realize 
that her flesh had been locked in a torment of pleasure, building towards a 
release that could only come with her complete surrender to Telain.  So now, she 
was in a battle of will with herself, fighting against the pleasure wracked body 
that ached for a release that could only come when Elshana fully joined her 
sisters as Telain's slave.

The battle continued in a timeless fog to Elshana.  She knew she was in trouble, 
the crystal was unrelenting, but her will was finite.  Her body was also 
ravenous.  Her entire body ached with arousal, yearning and fighting for release 
almost as strongly as Elshana fought against it.  Still, the nagging thoughts 
pulled at her resolve.  She had to fight against thoughts of acceptance, of 
thinking that perhaps an existence of mindless pleasure would be worth the 
price.  Elshana wasn't ready to give in however, and she continued to hang 
there, panting and dripping with arousal as she fought to retain her self and 
her mission.

Occasionally, she would be lifted out of the fog by new sensations.  Elshana 
felt new hands caress her, and new shafts part her folds with glorious thrusts.  
Each new encounter only stoking the flame hotter, and making the ache that much 
more evident as her mound hung open and the lingering moisture of a suckling 
mouth dried from her nipples.  Every time she held on against the new 
sensations, the still growing desire of her flesh, but each time that hold 
became more tenuous.  Elshana had came to realize that she would not escape this 
fate, but she still could not give in, so long as she had the strength to 
resist.

The torment of her bodies untamed passion kept her in a timeless daze as she 
fought to retain control.  Elshana had no idea how long she hung there in 
Telain's throne room, as her inner struggle continued, punctuated only by the 
invasion of another of his subjects upon her yearning flesh.  The ache of her 
body was so intense that it began to pierce her final barrier, calling upon her 
to offer herself.  Elshana could feel the empty burning of her loins, and could 
feel herself slowly joining her body in calling for her tender folds to be 
parted again by a man's shaft.  She wanted to fight it, but the arousal was to 
strong, and her willpower was drained by the constant assault of pleasure on her 
body.  Slowly Elshana began to whimper, and cautiously moved herself into a more 
open posture to be taken.  Even as she struggled to retain control, her mind and 
body were beginning to work together again, both seeking fulfillment and 
release.  Elshana didn't know how long it took, but she watched her whimpers 
slowly build to gibberish, and then finally to a single word.

"Please." She sobbed, barely holding onto to control.  Elshana wanted release, 
need release, even knowing the price.

In what seemed like an instant and an eternity, Elshana felt her chin being 
lifted and she looked into Telain's eyes.  "Please what?"

Elshana shuddered even at this slight touch, her loins calling even louder to be 
filled.  She knew what she wanted, what she needed at that moment.  "I need you 
inside me, please."

"Of course my dear, you had only to ask." Telain remarked with a tone of 
darkness ringing in his words.  

Elshana shuddered again, this time at his tone, knowing that she was about to be 
taken in mind and spirit.  Even as she felt his hands cup her waist, she 
couldn't help but arch her back and spread her legs as far as she could.  
Elshana could barely contain her need as she felt the tip of his shaft rub 
against her inflamed nether lips.  She moved her hips to meet him and helped him 
to position the head of his shaft within her gates.  This was the end of her 
mission and Elshana knew it.  She couldn't resist any longer however, the 
feelings coursing through her had consumed her will and she knew that by the 
time Telain had finished this round of coupling with her, she would be his as 
were all the other Ashari here.

Telain lingered at her gates for a moment, allowing his pet one last moment of 
contemplation before her final conversion.  

"You have been strong of will, Elshana, more powerful than I had imagined.  You 
will serve me well in your new life, and take an honored place among your 
sisters." 

With that Elshana felt Telain thrust forward, wonderfully parting her tender, 
aroused folds, filling her completely in one thrust.  Elshana moaned in passion, 
her mind reeling from the wonderful sensation flooding her spirit.  She knew 
what she was about to become, and what she was at that moment.  Her mind's eye 
reached out at that moment and looked back through the eyes of one of Telain's 
court.  She was leaning forward, her arms still strapped to the frame above her, 
her breasts dangling from her chest.  Her hair was slick with sweat, cascading 
over her shoulders, her back, and over her face.  Her legs were well parted and 
her back was arched to accept Telain's shaft.  Finally, Elshana looked into her 
own eyes, and saw the mindless lust that she had seen earlier in the eyes of her 
sisters.  Even as she knew she should be disturbed by the scene she presented, 
Elshana felt a new wave of passion course through her at her state.  She was 
about to become little more than animal, absorbed in passion and arousal, and 
she could not stop herself from wanting it.  Even as she had this moment, she 
felt the shaft within her pulsing and preparing to complete her journey.

Elshana began to wiggle her hips against Telain's shaft, and tried using her 
unskilled vaginal muscles against him as well to provoke him to take her.  She 
could sense her barriers falling in her mind as she did so, as her entire being 
continued to shape itself for him.  Even as she ached to have Telain pumping his 
shaft within her, she could feel his power warping her mind as every wall fell.  
Her very reason for being was being shifted, her every motivation was recreated, 
and each one was being wrapped around Telain.  Elshana watched as her mind was 
being changed and she was both powerless and unwilling to stop it.  She knew 
this was her last chance to fight him, but it was already too late, even as she 
wanted her freedom her spirit was already shifted to that of Telain's slave.  
Elshana could feel her thoughts being rerouted, her very thoughts of resistance 
being fed back towards Telain.  Her will to resist was finally sparked by a 
strange notion, that Telain would enjoy here futile acts of final resistance, 
and would be pleased with her.

"No, please, let me go." Elshana cried out feebly, aching for Telain to stop 
her.  She moved away from him, pulling off of his shaft even as she wanted it 
plunging inside her.  Elshana pulled at the straps holding her hands in place, 
thrashing against their hold as she felt her Master's cock slide even further 
from her.  She regretted the necessity of pulling away from his glorious shaft, 
but she wanted him to have the thrill of quelling her resistance.  Elshana could 
only look forward to the ravishing she was hopefully about to receive from her 
Master.

A diminishing part of her looked on these new thoughts with horror, realizing 
the depths she was about to descend to.  Elshana could feel these last wisps of 
resistance being squelched within her even as her physical resistance grew 
bolder.   As she moved to pull away again, now with only the head of Telain's 
shaft within her, she felt her Master's hands wrap firmly around her waist 
again, holding her firm even as her upper body still pulled at her straps.  
Elshana barely held back a squeal of delight at being restrained and at the fact 
that her Master still rested within her.  

"No, don't!"  Elshana cried out more forcefully as she felt her Master press 
himself into her again.  

"Nooo!" She moaned as she was mounted again.  Elshana felt all but the final 
walls fall within her as she cherished the sensation of her Master's shaft 
parting her again.  Her inner muscles caressed him even as she put on the 
charade of resistance, knowing that her struggles pleased him.  Elshana knew she 
was about to join her Ashari sisters, and she could hardly wait, but she held 
back her final surrender, shoring up her last bit of true resistance for a 
perfectly timed surrender.  She considered the irony of her action for only a 
moment as her Master's plunging shaft brought her to more important matters.

"No, please, don't," Elshana repeated between pants as Telain pumped into her.  
Her show of resistance was now reduced to simple vocal resistance, as she could 
no longer contain her body's need to reciprocate her Master's motions.  Elshana 
held onto the straps to support herself as she pushed back against Telain with 
his every thrust, her attention focused on caressing her Master's shaft as it 
moved within her.  As their motions fell into unison, Elshana felt her Master's 
hands move up from her hips, over her stomach and finally to cup her bouncing 
breasts.  She moaned loudly as he cupped her soft orbs, tweaking and pinching 
her tender nipples.  

Elshana was nearly overwhelmed by the passions coursing through her.  Her body 
still ached from the arousal that had been trapped within it.  Now she was 
completely absorbed by it, awash in the feelings of not only being used by her 
Master, but wanting her master to use her.  Every thrust within her was a 
testament to her worth, that her Master found her worthy of his shaft, and her 
own ability to please him.  Nothing mattered to Elshana except that now, 
pleasing her Master was everything, and that meant focusing her own attention on 
his shaft, being sure to caress it as it moved in side her.  

As Elshana reveled in her new existence, speared by the shaft of her enemy and 
Master, she could feel his passion begin to peak.  With that Elshana tore down 
the walls around the last point of resistance within her.  She felt a thrill of 
passion flow through her as she saw this last piece of her free will scream in 
horror before being absorbed.  Elshana felt herself whole again for the first 
time since coming to this place, and she reveled in her new life as a pleasure 
slave for that instant as she felt the crystal release it's stored energy.

The moment was perfect, Elshana felt her Master's shaft spurt his seed into her 
just as she broke down the last walls inside her, and released the flood of 
sexual energy from the crystal.  She felt her entire being plunge into a almost 
unending bliss as the crystal released it's charge.  Elshana was in heaven, her 
body still impaled on her Master's shaft, his seed flowing into her, fulfilling 
her as she felt her own release course through her.  Her conscious mind simply 
went blank as the energy flowed through her body, releasing her from her torment 
and her old life.  In that moment of pure pleasure Elshana felt herself reborn, 
recast as willing slave and lover of Telain.  The power coursed through her 
completely, and she did not notice as she was pulled down and laid across a row 
of pillows at the feet of Telain's throne.  As she fell into an exhaustion-
induced nap, Elshana's only thought was regret that her Master's shaft had left 
her.

Part 4/4 (mf mc nc)


It was some time before Elshana awoke again, having needed a long rest to 
recover from her ordeal.  When she awoke she found herself still laying at the 
feet of Telain's throne, and she melted inside as she looked up to see her 
wonderful Master resting comfortably in his seat of power.  Elshana awoke 
slowly, still recovering from her earlier torment.  She felt strange as she 
looked upon her Master with wonder and adoration.  She knew it was natural to be 
so devoted to her Master, and she quickly stifled the strange feeling within her 
so she could bask in his presence.

"Ah, you're awake.  Good, I have something to show you." Telain waved his arm as 
an order to his guards and two of them pulled open the main doors to the hall.

"What is it?" Elshana reveled in the attention she was being given by her 
Master.  That he would have something for her so soon after taking her was a 
wonderful kindness she would never expect.

"It will be a few minutes, my dear.  I am patient with my prey." Telain replied.

Elshana simply cooed with joy, more overwhelmed by her Master's thoughtfulness 
then with whatever he intended to show her.  It didn't matter if he wanted to 
show her a pile of horse manure, all that mattered was that her Master thought 
enough to show her.  As she waited, she could only wonder how she had not seen 
this before, that being a slave to Telain was a wonderful thing to be cherished 
and grateful, not something to resist.

Orin was furiously fighting the guards as they pulled him into the throne room.  
He had spent the days since Elshana's abduction making his way carefully to 
Telain's castle and formulating a plan to save her.  His hopes had been crushed 
when he made it to the castle and was unable to find a way in, that was until 
Telain's guards found him and dragged him into the castle.  

"Ah, here is our new guest now, I do believe you know him, Elshana." Telain 
remarked as Orin was pulled before the throne.

Elshana stole one last adoring look upon her master before turning over on her 
pillows to see who Telain was referring too.  She felt the familiar warmth of 
Orin's presence almost before setting her eyes upon him.  She realized how much 
she had missed his company, but she also noticed her feelings towards him were 
strange.  Still, she was happy that Telain had brought him before her.  "Yes, 
master, it's Orin, I was helping him to find his sister and take her home."

Orin looked up at Elshana with dismay.  Not only was she completely naked at 
Telain's feet, her clear deference to the man told him that she had lost her 
battle already.  "What have you done to Elshana?  Release her, now!"

"Quite impetuous of you, making demands like that.  Still, you have shown some 
strength in venturing into my kingdom so I will grant you half of what you asked 
for.  Elshana is now my servant, as are all Ashari who enter my realm.  She will 
be part of my court until the end of my days, won't you, dear?" Telain rubbed 
his hand over Elshana's upper arm.

"Oh, yes, Master, I'll never leave you."  Elshana cooed, warmed by her Master's 
touch.

Telain smiled wickedly down to his captive as he began to wave his palm in a 
circle through the air.  The air shimmered for a moment and then darkened in the 
area around Telain's circling motion.  "As for your sister, I think it's only 
fair you should know her fate.  She wandered onto the farm of one of my subjects 
and was brought to my court.  As she was not Ashari, I had no personal use for 
her, but one of my lords wished to have her as a bride.  Normally they ask for 
one of my Ashari, so I was more than pleased to use the Bell upon her and bond 
her with that lord."  The darkened air gave way to an image as Telain spoke.  

Orin could only watch with horror as he was shown his sister naked and fully 
engaged in coupling with a man.  Orin saw the mix of pleasure and torment in her 
expression as her image rocked in concert with her partners thrusts. 

"They do make a lovely couple, don't they?" Telain grinned again as he let the 
image of the pair fade away.  
Orin was incensed, and he pulled at the grip of Telain's guards with all his 
strength, hoping that he could get free and have the chance to strangle this 
evil man with his bare hands.  The guards' grip didn't slacken however and Orin 
felt and odd immobilizing force spread through his body as he watched Telain 
wave his hand.

"Well, that was rather impolite, but I do suppose I can excuse it for now.  I do 
need to decide what to do with you. "  With that Telain turned to Elshana.  
"What do you think, Elshana, would you like Orin to become a servant of the 
court and held take care of you and the other Ashari?"

"Yes, Master, he would make a great servant." Elshana beamed, happy that her 
master would consult her and that Orin would be with her.

"I'm glad you approve, however I can't have a rebellious young man as a servant 
to my Ashari.  He will have to be made a gelding, I think.  Would you like to do 
the job, my dear?" Telain asked.  His control over men was weak, a nearly 
nonexistent if they were not already loyal to him.  Telain had found that 
geldings were not so immune to his powers, and many of his courts servants were 
mindless geldings that had once been strong willed opposition.

"I would love to, thank you, Master."  Elshana chimed, her very essence ringing 
with joy at being given such attention by her master.  She barely even 
considered what she was being called upon to do, instead she basked in being 
asked to do something for him.

"Good, we shall do it now."  Telain remarked and with a wave of his hand the 
court went into motion.  A table was pulled up before the throne, and a special 
knife handed to Elshana.  Orin tried to struggle as the guards pulled him onto 
the table and tied him down, spread eagle.

Elshana approached Orin with determination to fulfill her Master's request.  
Orin looked into her eyes as she stepped closer, seeing in them a thoughtless 
blissful look that disturbed him greatly.  He shivered as Elshana pulled up 
along side him and looked down, smiling warmly as she reached to remove his 
shirt.  Orin was unable to do anything but watch as she cut down the center of 
his chest and then pulled the cloth back to each side.  This was the moment of 
final chances and he knew if his last plan failed he would spend the rest of his 
existence as a sexless gelding, mindlessly serving Telain.

A wave of energy flowed through Elshana as she pulled apart Orin's shirt and her 
hand grazed a small medallion lying on his chest.  Her entire body shuddered as 
she looked down to see her Ashari pendant and she grabbed it and a small pouch 
beside it without thinking.  

Orin held his breath as he watched Elshana take hold of her Ashari talismans, 
fully attentive of her puzzled expression as she considered the items now 
resting in her open palm.  Thoughtlessly, she pulled open the pouch and dropped 
a single finger inside, touching not only the dried earth within, but a familiar 
sense.  

At that moment, Elshana released a blood-curdling scream that echoed throughout 
the chamber, tones of pain, horror, and distress flowed from her lips.  The soil 
of her home reconnected Elshana with the root of her powers, a magic that 
existed at odds with that of Telain which now flowed through her.  The true 
Elshana awoke again as her strength was revived, but Telain's power still 
coursed through her mind.  

Orin watched in awe as Elshana began to glow as her scream subsided.  Her face 
still held an expression of agony and struggle, but Orin was reassured by the 
look of fear on Telain's face.  Whatever could cause him to worry was something 
Orin was glad for.  He was worried for Elshana though, even more so as the aura 
surrounding her grew brighter and a whirlwind began to whip up around her.  

Telain was not about to let his latest prize go without a fight, and quickly 
entered into the battle of wills in Elshana's mind.  The turbulence and sheer 
power within her staggered even him, but he pressed forward, determined to 
squelch any resistance she offered.

Elshana quickly realized what was happening, and that this was her last chance 
to save herself, and her sisters.  Telain had entered her mind, a move of 
desperation and overconfidence on his part.  Elshana had the upper hand for that 
singular moment that he was unaware of the extent of her reawakening.  She 
focused all of her strength as she felt him survey her mind and struck with all 
the power she had.  Telain fell back for a moment stunned, then push forth 
again, determined not to surrender yet.  They were on equal footing now, and 
while their physical forms stood across the room, Elshana and Telain held each 
other in a death grip in their minds.

Even Orin could feel the raw magic in the air as they fought.  Beyond that, he 
could see the physical manifestations of their titanic battle, an orangish glow 
surrounded them both, and a near vortex of coursing wind surrounded them.  His 
keepers had fallen back in surprise at the scene before them and Orin slipped 
back to a safer distance from the conflict.  

As he backed up he felt himself engulfed in a sea of naked women, the Ashari had 
descended upon his still virile male form for their own enjoyment while their 
master fought on.  Orin was pulled onto his back and stripped bare in moments.  
He felt a woman's lips slip over his member and quickly suckle him to attention.  
As she worked, Orin's hands were each held over a different girls well formed 
breast, and his body was massaged by a dozen feminine hands.  Orin was so 
completely absorbed by the ravenous women that he didn't even notice as 
Elshana's talismans were removed from around his neck.  He could barely keep all 
of the sensations straight in his head when the Ashari suckling him pulled her 
mouth away and straddled him.  Orin could only moan in ecstasy as her tight warm 
passage descended upon his eager shaft.  All thoughts of the battle raging only 
feet away were completely swept from his mind as Orin experienced the full 
delights of being the center of attention for Telain's aroused Ashari.

Elshana was enjoying herself far less.  Her initial strike had weakened Telain 
considerably, but now they stood even as they slowly tired each other in this 
mammoth battle.  Elshana feared they would remain locked together like this 
until the last, neither being able to tip the balance until they had both 
breathed their last breath.  She couldn't surrender however, the images of the 
last few days and especially the last hour fresh in her mind.  Telain would have 
to destroy her completely, for Elshana couldn't bear to go back to an existence 
like that.

It was at that moment that Elshana felt a new, strange wave of power pass 
through her.  Telain pulled back from her mind almost instantly, and she 
collapsed to the floor in relief.  As she rested Elshana heard the familiar 
sounds of coupling coming from only a few feet away, and she could feel a 
growing intensity of power swelling from the same point.  She turned around to 
see the source of this new magic, and gasped with both shock and understanding.

Orin was in heaven as he thrust into the lovely woman resting atop his body.  
The other Ashari had pulled away as she had begun to take him inside and now he 
was focused entirely on the woman making love to him.  She was a ravishing 
beauty, her face was soft and lovely, accented by the cutest button nose and 
framed by long flowing auburn hair that cascaded over her shoulders, parting to 
let her ample pert breasts peak out at him.  Orin let his hands roam freely over 
her silk smooth skin as they kept up their lovers pace.  It was only when she 
leaned over to kiss him that Orin noticed Elshana's pendant and bag hanging from 
her neck.  He was beyond concern for that as he deeply kissed his unnamed lover.  
It was only as she rose again that Orin noticed a glowing aura surround her, his 
own passion seam to increase as he watched her writhe in pleasure above him, 
bouncing in time with his own thrusts.  

Elshana watched as her lover and an Ashari passionately mated only feet away 
from her.  In her still sensitive state she could feel her own body begin to 
react to the sexual energy flowing from the girl moaning as she impaled herself 
on Orin's shaft.  There was something else in the energy flowing from that 
Ashari, though Elshana couldn't identify it as her own thoughts became even more 
passionate and aroused.  She couldn't stop herself from mindlessly caressing her 
mound and breasts as she watched Orin's member disappear into another woman's 
pussy.

It was then that Elshana noticed Telain again, collapsed on the steps to his 
throne, and mindlessly handling his own shaft.  Elshana couldn't deny her own 
needs and quickly crawled over to the dark enemy of herself and her sister.  His 
member was ready and her loins called out to be filled.  Elshana didn't even 
stop to consider her actions as she straddled Telain's shaft and lowered 
herself.  She moaned in feminine satisfaction as her nether lips were parted and 
her passage filled with Telain's ample width.  Elshana had no sooner filled 
herself completely than she pulled off and began to ride his shaft.  Telain 
reacted just as instinctively, thrust back against her movements.  After only a 
couple thrusts, Elshana found herself leaning over and passionately kissing 
Telain, enjoying fully the sensations of his shaft moving inside her and her 
soft breasts shifting on his muscled chest.  

The rest of the throne room had descended into a similar orgy, consumed by a 
mindless passion.  As their arousal grew, so did the soft glow from Orin's 
partner.  In minutes her soft glow had turned into a bright flare, and a strong 
glow emanated from every inflamed Ashari in the room.  

Finally Orin could accept no more pleasure, his senses were inflamed and his 
passion fully stoked.  He grasped hold of his lover hips and pulled her down 
firmly as his own climax passed through him and he filled the girl with his 
seed.  Even as he felt his fluids spurting into her, her tender passage massaged 
him with a skill that Orin could scarcely believe, focusing his entire being in 
that one moment on the joining of their two bodies.  

The cascade followed only a moment later, Orin's partner reached her own 
magnificent climax as she felt his seed flow into her.  The link that bound her 
to her sister's carried the pleasure to every Ashari in the throne room and 
within the palace walls.  It also carried something much more insidious, a link 
back to the homeland of all Ashari and the source of their true power.  

As with the times before, Elshana felt the power of all her sisters flow into 
her.  As the cascading energy coursed through her, she couldn't help but reach 
her own release, clamping down on Telain's shaft and eliciting a flood of his 
seed into her depths.  As she her passion peaked, Elshana felt the reflected 
power of her magic's source course into her and she knew what she had to do.  
Even as Telain's member still spurted his seed into her, Elshana reached out 
with the combined power of her sisters.  The man who had only moments before 
been her master was now writhing in agony as Elshana meticulously isolated 
Telain from his powers.

Elshana felt something snap in the fabric of energy surrounding her as she 
removed the last of Telain's control over his magic.  The sudden release of his 
powers sent the stored energy of centuries flowing back into Telain's lands in a 
sudden wave.  Not one of his subjects was unaware of the exact moment of 
Telain's fall from his throne.  Thousands of minds were once again free, and now 
sought the revenge and escape so long denied them.  Intimately tied to the 
sensations unleashed in his kingdom, Elshana shuddered at the many acts of 
viscous revenge acted out by the long enslaved women of Telain's kingdom upon 
their keepers.  

As the moment faded, Elshana realized with a start that she was still joined 
with Telain and that his shaft had regained its erection within her.  Her body 
still ached a bit for another good coupling but she had no desire to give Telain 
any more pleasure.  As she lifted herself off of him, she was surprised that he 
didn't respond.  While his seed was dribbling from her, Elshana looked down at 
the shell of a man that had once been the enemy of all Ashari.  A disturbingly 
vacuous smile and black look was all that was left of Telain.  As Elshana looked 
down at him, she felt an arm move around her back and over her waist as a 
feminine form pressed against her.

"He has paid his price for all he's done in this land." 

Elshna looked over at the woman who had been joined with Orin only minutes 
before.  While Elshana felt a twinge of jealousy, she couldn't help but feel an 
even greater affinity for this woman.  It was the strange sensation of being in 
the presence of a master Ashari.

The woman smiled warmly back at Elshana's confused expression.  "I am Yavi, I 
was the master of the Guard of Hosul before Telain came so long ago.  Now that 
this land is free we will have to return and rebuild both this land and ours."

Orin reached Elshana's side a moment later and the two lovers's kissed, 
passionately and lovingly.  The quest was over, Telain was defeated, and Orin's 
sister freed of his spell, as were all the women of this land.  Even as they 
stood over the smiling remnants of their enemy Elshana and Orin were already 
silently considering their future together in a new era of freedom and peace.
