Trapped in the tower: a cat burglars sexual plight. (Closed for Mairu.)

[Ravenloft]

Florin the magnificent, they called him, and with good reason. His deeds and feats of magic were very well known far and wide. He had accumulated a vast fortune as well, from all the evil lords and monsters he once helped slay.

But now... now he stayed in his tower, tired and alone, his days of adventure behind him, most of his friends too old to fight by his side or dead now. He kept himself young and vital with his magic though.

He spent his days crafting magical devices of all shapes and sizes. Some he sold to young adventures, like he once was, others were personal projects, never meant for the use of outsiders. Strange and wonderful things, wicked and dreadful things. Things that would make the right woman beg for more... all of them... untested... until today!

It would appear that someone had broken into his home, trying to steal from him, only they meddled with the wrong wizard! A trap was sprung and a magic alarm alerted Florin of the intruder and where they were!

They had sprung a particularly inventive trap, it would seem. Evards black tentacles! With Florins own particular bent on it! When he made it to the chambers his thief had been caught, he was pleased to see it was a woman, and that the tentacles programed actions had already begun.

He programed them to drag anyone that triggered them to a cot and restrain them there as they went about stripping their captive of any weapons, gear, or clothing that held a magical enchantment! He was particularly proud of this spell and only ever taught it to one other friend who was now dead.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A female thief come to cart off with some of my magical trinkets, perhaps? A... cat burglar, skulking around my house in the night?" He rushed over to her as she struggled to free herself to no avail. Looking hef over, he liked what he saw, she had a very nice body and her eyes were full of vulnerability and fear as he stared sternly down at her holdin his staff of lordly might at his side, giving it a quick tap upon the stony floor to command hef attention.

"You are wise to regard me with fear, little thief. I am dreadful, am I not? The slayer of pazuzu, the demon lord of the fifth circle of the nine hells! Yes, what chance does a little cat burglar like yourself have against my power?" He leaned close to her ear. "Speak quickly and speak true, little kitten, what did you think you would find here, if not my wrath?" It was all a show, to intimidate her into the truth, he had no intention of harming her.

In fact, he was already planning on keeping her, to teach hef the error of her ways and to show her the path to goodness. One years servitude under a geas should suffice, he thought as he admired her young flesh. She apparently had procured a number of magical items even before she made the mistake of trying to steal from him as she had been stripped down to a simple cotton chemise that did little to hide her femininity. The more she struggled, the more his black tentacles creeped along her tender flesh, binding her fast to the cot.

They slithered up her thighs under her chemise as she kicked and thrashed. "Easy now, calm yourself girl! The more you struggle the tighter they will hold you." He warned her, placing a hand on her stomach to try and still her frantic thrashing.

 

[Mairu]

Sasha really felt stupid right now. Stupid and though she would never admit it, very afraid. Okay lets start at the beginning. Sasha was an orphan child and after being in a rundown orphanage for 18 years and then kicked out Sasha had been on the streets. Not for long though. See there was this man who came to her offering her a job and a place to stay, only she had to steal stuff. She refused, until a week later when she was starving, and went and accepted.

Now she had been doing this for about 3 months and though she had thought the guy crazy for her to try and steal from a wizard, he said the wizard was old and wouldn't be any trouble. Yeah right. Then why was she trapped in tentacles! Well anyway that brings us to what was presently happening.

"No, no no. Get off me!" Ugh Sasha hated these things! Disgusting, though also a tiny bit arousing. Sliding all over her body, taking everything magical she owned, and restraining her to the cot. Yeah, she was freaking out. The tentacles had left her in only her chemise and she was strugging when she heard the wizard. Uh-oh. This day couldn't get any worse, ugh! Wait did he just call her a cat burglar?! "For your information I'm not a cat!" Though secretly she had always wondered what a tail and ears would feel like. Okay this guy thought he was all that, so Sasha ignored him for the most part until he asked what she hoped to find. " I HOPED TO FIND WHAT I WAS TOLD TO STEAL!" Sasha continued to struggle even though the tentacles were getting tight and her fear was growing to big amounts. Then he put his hand on her stomach and even though she mostly stilled, in fear and shock, she recoiled where he touched her, silently hypervenilating.

 

[Ravenloft]

When the first thing out of the thieves mouth was a snide remark, Florins eyes flared with dangerous light and his hand on her belly discharged a ball of magical energy into her fragile little body. It was s simple alteration spell that would change her, at least partially into that which she claimed not to be. It had been meant as a punishment for speaking so rudely to him, not the fulfillment of her secret wish. "Oh, but you are, at least in part, now, my snide little cat burglar. And I shall address you as kitten from now on. It would be wise of you to hold your tongue until asked a question from now on... kitten. It is within my power to transform you completely into what you claim not to be after all."

"Ah, now we are getting somewhere..." he mused, watching over her as the tentacles creeped up between her legs. What on earth were they after now? She couldn't possibly have something magical hidden... inside of her, could she? What kind of dirty girl was she? He tried to hide his look of surprise as he spoke. "Tell me who sent you and what you were sent to steal, little kitten and I shall lessen your punishment for breaking into my home and disturbing me at such a late hour..." he offered her, watching as he suspected those black tentacles were entering her downy soft core right about now from the shocked and horrified expression on her face. "Oh, you poor kitten... calm yourself... they are simply retrieving something that belongs to me, I believe... it will be over soon." He reached up to sooth the young woman's alabaster brow as she panicked from the sudden penetration.

Those tentacles swirled around inside of her, searching for the source of magic she had hidden inside of herself, a dirty little trick she had learned from other thieves and had modified to her being a woman. Surely no one would dare to check there! ...until now... it was terrible imbarassing to be molested so.

Just as the tentacles were about to make her squeal in pleasure, they found what they were after. A simple gem, a ruby, polished smooth and round. In it, Florin could place any spell he wished. It was one of his prized possessions. And as the tentacles coiled out of her and went to drop the precious stones into the palm of her hand, he found himself chuckling. "Dirty kitten... hiding things inside of you..." he seemed more tickled by her misdeeds now than angry.

"Well... if that is where you desire to hide your I'll gotten gains... than who am I to stop you?" He began to chant, removing the dangerous spell that had been placed inside the stone and replacing it with one more appropriate for the... situation. It was an elegant splicing of two spells actually... geas and... a minor quaking spell... more of a tingling vibration spell really. "There now, that should do nicely for one such as you..." he handed the little gem back to the awaiting black tentacles and mentally commanded them to reinsert it deep inside of the girl.

"Allow me to explain what is being done to you, kitten, that gem is now imbued with a geas spell, you are to do as I say for one year. If not, the other spell will trigger, deep inside of you... you may like it, you may not, but in any case, I promise you, you won't get far before the power of the spell drops you to your knees." He chuckled, quite pleased with himself as he watched her eyes grow wide with fear. "Oh... don't fret, just obey and you will be unmolested, I assure you."

The black tentacles rooted and squirmed around inside of her, placing the smooth gem deep enough and secure enough inside of her that it would stay, held there through the power of the geas. Once it was done, the tentacles departed her warm depths, leaving her feeling empty and achy.

"Now... stand up, kitten." He ordered, rapping his staff against the floor, banishing the tentacles. "You must be hungry..." he turned away from her and led her out of the room, grumbling under his breath about having one more mouth to feed. He apparently did not like leaving his tower very much. "People... people bother me." He muttered then chuckled, perhaps a bit madly.

 

[Mairu]

Sasha gasped as a ball of energy grew at her belly and something changed inside of her and her head went back. Next thing she knew, her body was starting THAT process. Yippee, she got to take a trip inside herself. Wasn't this just a wonderful thing. Sasha then heard the wizard and grimaced. So he had changed her, lucky her. Thankfully to whatever it was it wouldn't take as long as it normally would to change. It had already started even. Then she felt the tentacles and before she could respond to the wizards question electric currents went out from her, not under her control. "D-dammnnnnn iiiiitttttt!!! GAAHHH!!!!!!!!" The electric currents, little blue electric things that they looked to anyone else, went out from her, expanding and growing, shocking the wizard and pushing them back as Sasha grew weak, her head falling backwards, her eyes dulling. When the electric currents finally gave up Sasha was limp, the tentacles having retrieved the gem. "Answer. Gem." That was all Sasha muttered as the wizard did whatever he did with the gem, small electric currents trying weakly to stop the tentacles before they went out and slithered away, Sasha limp on the cot, the bruises where the tentacles had held her already healing.

Sasha didn't hear as he ordered her to stand but after black snug shirt and black pants appeard she rolled out of the cot and weakly stood up, leaning on it before following the wizard but soon fell backwards, her arms going up to go over her chest and her eyes closed. Next thing Sasha knew, she was laying down, looking at a butterfly that had landed on a blade of grass and smiled. See Sasha didn't ever actually sleep. When her body was weak she locked inside herself, into her mind. Right now she was inside her mind, and the image was a meadow. The image changed a lot. She then sat up and lifted her hand and the butterfly flitted over to her finger. "Seems I'm resting for now eh? Isn't that right Evie?" Sasha then turned around to smile at a girl with black hair like hers but purple eyes where Sasha's were blue. Evie was a side of Sasha that was split from her because of an enchantment. "I told you not to trust that man. Now I tell you to stay with the wizard, but I also warn you, that guy is coming to kill you." Sasha knew. This was why she had a grim face as the butterfly flitted away. "My other powers? Did they unlock?" Sasha had felt that magic and wondered if the wizard had done more than he had meant to. "Yes, the enchantment that sealed your shifter side is now gone and you will begin to become who you were always meant to be. Also that wizard is the one who trained your mother." Sasha was surprised for a second before nodding. It seemed Evie and her would soon be one. Interesting and nice. "I see" Sasha then felt herself being pulled back to the real world and waved goodbye. Next thing Sasha's arms went back to her sides and she opened her eyes and looked at the wizard. "Do you have any questions for me? I'll answer as best I can if you do."

 

[Ravenloft]

Torin was taken by surprise by the interactions of his magic with... whatever magic this girl posessed. He received a shock that pushed him back several feet before he managed to ward it off. So, it was the gem she was after... foolish girl. Someone appeared to have set her up, knowing more about her than she appeared to. He suspected she was meant to die in her attempt to steal it.

Before he could do anything to help her, the girl fell into some sort of fuge state back on the cot. Sighing heavily, Torin went over to her and examined her closely. She was still alive but it felt as though her spirit was elsewhere and he read her aura, finding it full of magical energy. More, in fact to account for anything he had done to her.what was this girl? To be born with such untapped potential?

Within minutes, the girl regained consciousness and looked up at him, offering to answer his questions. "Ah, good... first, what are you? I seem to have inadvertently broken some sort of seal cast upon you... be warned, despite your raw power, I am more than capable of destroying you, if you dare to challenge me." He was a bit wary of her now, having read her aura. "Second, are you hungry? And lastly... who sent you, and should I be expecting them any time soon?"

 

[Mairu]

Sasha sat up as the wizard said his questions and listened sighing. "Well there is no need to tell you by name I guess, since you are going to call me kitten. Anyway I guess I'm a shifter that was locked in an enchantment. Your magic broke that enchantment over me and now, very slowly, I will become the me that was locked away. Also don't worry about destroying me, I'm going to be killed anyway, by the man who sent me. So just let me go, you don't have to worry about me anymore, I'm already dead." Sasha's stomach then growled and she sighed. "About food.... if you wish to feed me fine but I'm used to not eating and again I'll be dead soon." Sasha had a sad face and looked at him. He actually was sort of nice looking and he was powerful. Hmph. Most girls would want to be with him, just to have that power. Sasha though, didn't want any part. She just wanted to be left alone. Why couldn't she just live her life in peace. Then she heard her name outside and she froze before sighing and after seeing a window jumped and punched it before leaping out, landing on her feet and shivering at the vibrations. She then saw the man with a sword, aimed right at her neck. "Here to kill me eh?" Sasha then saw the sword come towards her and right before it her neck the electric currents went out, protecting her. "Well isn't that a pity." Sasha sighed and watched the man grit his teeth and get ready again.

 

[Ravenloft]

"You're right, of course, I will most asuredly continue calling you kitten, but tell me your name anyway." He knew down in front of her, placing his staff of power across his lap. "A shifter... of course... I knew a few of your kind... long ago. I thought them extinct, but you must have been hidden. How very interesting." He caught her chin in his hand suddenly as she spoke of being killed. "Nonsense, you are now my servant and as such, you are under my protection. No one will kill you, not while you belong to me."

He let her go with a little nudge of his slender finger tips. "No more talk of death now, girl. You will be fed and sheltered. I need you healthy and strong if you are to be of any use to me." He stood back up and made his way back toward the door. Howeverm, someone called out from the outside of the tower. And again, the girl reacted foolishly, leaping without thinking, shattering one of his tower windows. "Stop!" He shouted, triggering her geas, to punish her foolish behavior.

Torin cast flight on himself and rushed through the broken window just in time to witness her fending off her would be assassin with a crackling electric aura. "Impressive, kitten!" He complimented her, then turned toward the man, chanting a spell, letting the magical energies at his command crackle and spark from his fingertips. "The one who sent you, I presume? Come to finish the job? Sir, you would be wise to leave before we turn you to ash and smoke. Tarry one moment longer and I will not hesitate in bringing you to your inglorious end! This girl is mine! You cannot have her!"

He held his spell, waiting for the man to make one wrong move before he unleashed it at the fullest force he could muster. Enough to turn one as inexperienced as him to dust, he was certain.

 

[Mairu]

Sasha was surprised when the wizard came out and even more surprised at his words. Even more strange was the warmth she felt and decided she would stay with him as she looked to the man who gritted his teeth and then ran off. Sasha then went up to the wizard. "I'll be in the room with the cot. I'll accept any punishment you give." Sasha then leaped again and after coming to a stop in the air pushed against the tower with her foot and into the room with the cot, sitting on it.

 

[Ravenloft]

Torin laughed ad the coward fled. "Death awaits you if you ever dare return, fool!" He shouted after him, turning toward Sasha. She excused herself and prepared for her 'punishment', not even giving him a chance to catch her as she jumped back inside. This insolence would have to be dealt with, else he would exhaust himself, trying to keep her corralled inside, where he could keep an eye on her.

Swooping in, held aloft by his flight spell, he landed in front of her with his hands on his hips. "You can't be rushing off like that, kitten, it makes it difficult to keep an eye on you. Who knows what else you'll try to snatch with that snatch of yours?" He joked, making a jesture with his right hand, triggering the gem inside of her, making it vibrate violently. "You seem to be asking for punishment... so be it." The vibrations deep inside of her pussy seemed to respond to the motions of his finger tips as if he were conducting an orchestra of magical energy.

"You might want to lay back before you fall down, kitten." He warned her, moving his hand forward, sending powerful surges up and down the length of her love canal. "I am going to have to make you beg, I'm afraid, it appears to be the only way to get through to you..." he grinned darkly, happy that she had given him an excuse to show her just exactly what her folly had gotten her into. He had no intention of stopping until she begged him. Begged him to either let her cum, or to stop because it was too much for her. In any case, she would have to beg.

 

[Mairu]

Sasha watched as Torin came in and listened before gasping at the pleasure triggered by the gem, making her gasp for air at first and then at his suggestion lay down, her clothes disappearing and her legs spreading as she moaned at the pleasure the gem was giving, but soon she learned why the begging. When she was about to cum it gave in just a little and soon she was just being held at a standstill, writhing at the heat. "Ohhhh Godddddd." Sasha started to sweat with the pressure, wanting to cum, but not being able to and even as she closed her legs and tossed and turned the pleasure-pain kept on going. Finally she gave in. "Oh please I'll be good, just please let me cum. PLEASEEEE!" At this point her body started giving off electric currents and for some strange reason it calmed it just enough that she wouldn't snap from the pleasure, her body covered in sweat and her eyes glazed. Then just as the currents kept her on thw edge of snapping her cat ears and tail came out.

 

[Ravenloft]

Torin moved to a position where he could keep an eye on Sasha's exposed vulva, using it and the finer details he could sense through his magical link to the gem tormenting her poor pussy to know just when to withdraw just enough to keep her right at the edge without release. He chortle and danced his fingers about, enjoying the show. She was very responsive to his magic and the oozing juices she was seeping began to froth into a thick white cream, he worked her pussy so well with the gem.

He chuckled even more when she tried snapping her legs shut to gain some sort of reprieve, but it was for naught as his control over her pussy was absolute. Nothing she could do would be able to stop him from pleasuring her whenever and wherever he wanted to. It was to be her leash, the collar with which he could bring her to her knees and the wax nothing, nothing she could do to change that now.

He was wary of her crackling aura, but carefully drew near, kneeling to whisper into her newly formed cats ear. "Now you see, you belong to me..." His voice was low and hungry and his breath hot against her ear. He stood back up and trailed his right hand down her body, from breast, over her belly, to cup the aching hot, drooling lips of her pussy. With that final touch, he forced her over the edge and slid his fingers inside to enjoy the strong spasms he was forcing upon her sex.

 

[Mairu]

When Torin touched her everything crashed and as Sasha screamed her currents blasted outward strongly before she fell limp in the cot, almost like she was dead except for the small rise and lower of her chest everything was still. She was completely out of it. In her mind she was curled up into a ball shaking, tail curled over her knees and Evie was softly stroking her hair as Sasha whimpered. After a minute Sasha's body got enough life into it to curl into this defensive ball, her cat ears flat against her head. Sasha didn't feel anything till about an hour later when she came from her mind and the ears came from their flat position. Sasha stayed in her ball though as she took in her surroundings, now slightly afraid of the wizard, so many emotions flowing within her and her knew ears flicked nervously as her body shook.

 

[Ravenloft]

At first, Torin was worried he'd damaged the girl, she was so still and unresponsive. But after a thorough examination of her aurea, he discerned that he had just put her back into that fuge state she had slipped into before. It was concerning, bug he knew she would come out of it eventually.

He took the time to prepare them a meal and make her a suitable cat bed to sleep in next to his large four post and curtained bed. He couldn't let this one out of his sight, or he wouldnt. He enjoyed her too much. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the dining room table where he carefully placed her in her seat and gently stroked his fingers through her hair. "Wake up, kitten, there's food and a bed waiting for you." He whispered, watching her face for some sign of conciousness returning to her. "Where did you go?" He asked softly as she opened her eyes.

 

[Mairu]

Sasha almost jumped out of her seat when she saw the wizard and immediately clothes appeared on her, a hole in the pants for her tail as she came out of her ball but shrank away from the wizard. "J-just into my m-mind. N-nowhere special." She knew it was probably unfair to the wizard to be this way but on other thing about cats had been given to her. Their skittishness, and now because of what happened with the gem, she was skittish around the wizard, cat version of nervous with heightened reactions. Her new ears just kept flicking back and forth nervously as she saw the food and ate, wanting to run away almost.

 

[Ravenloft]

"Oh now... what is this for? This skittishness is unbecoming of you, kitten. After all, I have protected you, given you a meal and a place to sleep. Is this any way to act around your master? Relax, and do as I command and you will be well taken care of. Disobey or try to flee me and you will be punished again."

With that, he got up and went to his seat to eat. After taking a few bites of the rich, meaty stew he'd prepared for them, he spoke again. "Into your mind? Intreaguing, and how is it you do that? What purpose does it serve? "

 

[Mairu]

Sasha was trying to calm down now but the fear was imbedded deeply. Not just because of the wizard but because of the guy before. He didn't give second chances easily, one mess up and you got beat up, show fear snd you got best harder. So much fear built that by the time he asked her about her mind she dropped her fork and shaking visibly she curled into a ball, her hands clutching her head as the shaking turned into spasms, her wide eyes staring into something the wizard couldn't see. "P-p-please....H-hold....." Sasha tried to get out the three little words of please hold me but started crying before she could, her crying that would make any drop to the floor in pain. Just like the currents and going into her mind it was a defensive measure.

 

[Ravenloft]

Torin stood quickly and rushed to Sasha's side, catching her in his arms before she fell to the ground. He cradled her in his lap as they sunk to the floor and he tried to sooth her. "Easy now, kitten, it will be okay, you just need to relax, let it out..." this girl didn't do anything half way, did she? He thought. In a strange way, he was charmed by the force of her emotions. It didn't hurt that she had tried to ask to be held either. He didn't mind nurturing this girl one bit, perhaps showing her some tenderness might make her more comfortable with him.

He held her and hummed to her, stroking her hair, telling her it will be alright, nothing would harm her in his home. She would be safe here. "So you go on and cry, kitten, it's okay, you are safe here. Let it out, I understand."

 

[Mairu]

Sasha was still crying as Torin came over, almost sobbing. When Torin held her it only became louder, feeling now that should could and pressed close. Her hands then left her head and went to his shirt clutching at it as she cried. Then something weird happened as Torin held her. Little blue things started to appear and as they glowed they looked like tiny transparent people and went and pressed to Sasha. They also went and looked all over Torin like he was an alien, making sounds like little whispers. Actually they were called wisps becuase of the whispering that was their talking. Sasha started to calm down with Torin and the wisps and as she stopped crying she lifted her hand and some of the wisps came, the whispering a little loud and Sasha put a finger to her lips and the wisps settled down. Sasha then turned to Torin with a guilty look. "Sorry about that, also can you see the blue transparent things? I was told it's an inherited gift but I didn't know my mom or Dad so....." Sasha then let out one whispering sound and they all vanished except for one and Sasha gently picked it up. She then put it on her shoulder where it clung, looking like a tiny child, a girl to be specific.

 

[Ravenloft]

Torin's heart went out to this girl, whatever it was that tormented her must have been awful indeed, she sobbed so hard. "Whatever it is, dear girl, you needn't fear any longer, I shall care for you and protect you..." he offered as he saw these strange beings begin to appear and go to her. He recognized them as wisps and smiled. "My, you even have little friends here, to protect you, kitten..."

"Yes, of course I see them, and you're right, only the child of a fey or one blessed by them could see such things. I knew a woman so blessed, once, a long time ago... you... remind me of her... but she died..." he offered a finger to the little spirit to smell, giving it the chance to see he was a friend. "Lovely... how lovely..." he sighed, admiring her and her little friend. "Still, you have yet to tell me about this place you go, when you fall unconscious."

 

[Mairu]

Sasha smiled and listened until he talked about the place she went when she went unconscious. "Well how about I show you? If I hold onto your arm and use the wisps I can take you there. A warning though,don't try to hurt the other girl there, or you will regret it. No offense but she is were my power comes from and that's only a smidge of what she can do." Sasha then grabbed his arm and the wisps began glowing and tons of them dove into her, tons of them. Then a blue light began to take over her and once it had it quickly took over him.

Sasha quickly woke up and went over to Evie, where she was standing next to the wizard. "This should be fun" Evie chuckled. "Evie don't joke like that, remember what happened last time you joked like that with someone here?" Sasha looked at Evie with a grim expression and her arms folded, standing on the other side. "Yes, yes I know. I'll stop for now." Sasha breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you." Sasha then turned her head toward the wizard who just woke and looked around at the meadow and lake with the forest surrounding and Sasha and Evie grinned and spoke in unison. "Welcome to our world Wizard."

 

[Ravenloft]

"Alright, i..." Torin didn't have a chance to prepare for the jaunt into Sasha's other world, the place within her mind that she went to hide and to heal. "Well, that was sudden... next time, give me a chance to prepare myself, won't you, please? " He asked politely, looking around her inner world, taking it all in.

"Evie, what a lovely name, I once knew another Evie... she was as beautiful as she was powerful. Fun, you say? What sort of fun?" He looked at the two girls, they seemed like sisters, but if what Sasha said was true, they were actually one and the same, it confused him to see her split into two separate beings like this.

"No, it's okay, I mean you no harm, either of you. If there is actual fun to be had, I would be a willing participant in it." He looked around again as they greeted him in unison to their world. "Thank you, my lovelies, and what a world it is! It would appear to be crafted of dream stuff and subtle magick. What do you two do hers?"

 

[Mairu]

Evie's eyes sparkled at the chance of fun and the space flickered before Sasha smacked her uptop the head. "Don't even dare, even he wouldn't be able to best your maze. "But-" Sasha shook her head and glared and Evie sighed. Fiiiinnnne." Sasha breathed a sigh of relief at that "Thank you. Now Wizard if you want to try my maze I'll let you, at least I don't put monsters in it every 10 seconds and change it every 5. And before you say anything, I've counted." Evie giggled at that. It's true and it's fun to see the people try to figure it out, but only Sasha has." Sasha then nodded. It was flight. You used flight to fly up and then go to the end where Evie would be waiting and Sasha if it was another person.

Evie laughed and patted the Wizard on the back when he said he knew another Evie. "Of course you did. I would hope you wouldn't have forgotten Sasha's mother. It's actually where I took the name from." Sasha then heard him say about fun again and shook her head and then thought. "Fine if you want fun so much. Evie do it." Evie grinned and nodded before her eyes glowed. Next thing the wizard saw was a maze with him at the beginning and Sasha and Evie floated above him and Evie spoke. "It's simple, just get to us." Evie and Sasha began to float away, Evie leaving out that there were no rules, as she usually did. He would have everything he had in the real world, like magic.

Soon Sasha and Evie were at the top of a tower at the end, eating and drinking, watching as the monsters started to appear and the maze started to change.

 

[Ravenloft]

"Something tells me that your idea of fun isn't the most normal." Torin chuckled as Sasha smacked the twinkle out of Evie eyes. "I'm up for anything you cold throw at me though." He boasted, quite certain that his experience and vast magical knowledge was more than enough to see him through this.

He looked down at little Evie as she patted him on his shoulder. "So it is you, the daughter of the singer of souls, Evie, the fair-hearted! You look much like her, but how can that be, you should be much, much older by now..." this was the first time in a looong time that Torin had met with any uncertainty or confusion. "No matter, that can be pondered later, now... for the fun."

He looked up at the two from his place in the maze that was suddenly formed around him and chuckled. "Very well, be seeing you very soon, my dear ladies!"

He heard the beasties right around the corner and hid, casting a spell of location upon the gem seated securely deep inside of Sashas body. It was then a simple matter to dimension door right to the pair of them just as they sat down to tea and wait for him to arrive. "Ladies!" He called to them from the other end of their table. He poured himself some tea and picked out a tasty sweet roll to eat. "So nice of you to provide lunch!"

 

[Mairu]

Evie now had her hand on Sasha's belly and could feel the gem and growled. She may not be Sasha's mother but she felt like one. After making her face expressionless, masking her anger, she spoke. "Of course, the next one will not be so easy, as I am now making you powerless." With that she snapped her fingers, and this being their world he could no longer use magic. For anything, on anyone and for now had no control or power over the gem in Sasha's body. "This will test how good you are without your magic, if you succeed I'll let you have your gem in her, if you don't and surrender I will have it removed, do you understand?" Evie then smiled and without waiting for an answer snapped her fingers again.

Next thing the wizard saw was him sitting on a fireproof rock, meaning it wouldn't melt. That was good because surrounding him was lava, with seemingly no end. Sasha was now floating in the air looking bored with Evie next to her and Evie spoke. "Now pay very close attention, this is part one of your test. You are going to be floated on this rock to an entrance to an island with a dragon trying to kill you with fire balls, this sword," Sasha handed him a sliver sword with red elegant marks all over it. "Will deflect these balls. At anytime the sword drops into the lava you lose. Also you may surrender but that isn't any fu right? If you reach the island I will give you the next part of your test. See you later!" Evie giggled and bot her and Sasha both vanished.

"Powerless?" Torin didn't like the sound of this. "I see... and how do you propose to remove it when it's not really even within this projection of Sasha, here? What you feel is merely a symbol of the physical object inside of her, safe and securely back in her body in the real world, out of your reach. You can only remove the shadow image of it here... sure, she will be free of my geas in this world of yours, but not in the waking world. Quite frankly, my dear, I don't see any reason to acquiesce to your little game... But I will, if only to show you I am more than just my magic."

He stood up on the rock which Evie had placed him on and steadied himself against the precarious Bob and sway of the floating stone. He accepted the silver blade and nodded, testing it's weight and balance in his hand as she instructed him on his mission. He nodded with a clenched jaw, swords weren't really his weapon of choice, but if it did what she said it would, he felt he would be alright. "I see, and how does it do so? Does it absorbe fire? It is far from capable of shielding me from the entire brunt of a dragons breath, if it does not..." he was tempted to test the blade on the lava, but was uncertain how much heat it could actually endure. The war in not to drop it in the lava suggested that it could only stop fire.

with a sigh and a shrug at Evie and Sasha's departure. "Well, here goes nothing..." he said to himself, scanning the surrounding area for some sign of the dragon in the pool of lava. "Where are you hiding, lizard brain?" He whispered, holding the blade out in front of him, to protect himself.
