Alenia watched as Mao would return with the victim and now she only began to panic even more. She watched as Mao would approach her and instantly she would hug her and let out a squeak of fear. The familiar’s fur felt so soft and smooth, it bring her to some level of comfort but that comfort was ripped away when Pelintira suddenly dropped the knife before her. She looked down at it and immediately began to panic once more. She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t kill someone. She had given her word that she didn’t care but could she really do this? There was the promise of powerful magic as well but was it really worth it? Was this what she ha

Pelintira let Mao try to comfort Alenia as she looked over the girl. Young long brown hair, in a simple peasant’s dress. She helplessly struggled against the chains. “What is this this?! Where am I?!” Then then Elf’s face stood over her, an icy fear filled girl’s heart. “…No…no…not you…”. She had never seen the ancient witch, but legends and rumors of terror had spread about her throughout the region. The girl was certain where she was now and terrified of her fate. “…Relax, young one…”. Pelintira coldly comforted her. “You should feel honored. You have been chosen to help unlock the secrets of the universe.” She walked back over t

Mao had teleported outside the fortress only to fly to one of the villages next. Detecting a virgin was not very hard for her. Best even if she was a little menacing about it. When she found the one she needed, all she needed to do was get close to her and touch her to then teleport back to the study. Within her reach, there was no way for the girl to escape anyway. Upon not seeing any of the high witch or the young one, the next location was easy to determine. Not letting the time for her captive to take a look around, she instantly teleported away once more only to find herself where both were this time. Pulling the girl to the altar, she w

Before Alenia could protest forward, she felt Pelintira grab her and lead her to the magical circle and before she knew it she was whisked away to somewhere she did not know. As she looked at the alter and chains, she knew exactly what would be happening. She would fall to her knees and began to clutch her head, beginning to panic. “No… this can’t be happening… I-i don’t want… I don’t want to sacrifice anyone…” she muttered to herself. If she knew that this was involved, she would have never agreed to this.

Pelintira glanced at the girl still chained up on the altar. "You will have to wait for your moment of destiny." She put a finger on the girl's forehead and she fell into a deep sleep. Deep enough to not need food or water while she slept. Closer to suspended animation. She put the knife and other tools away. She was sure Alenia would come to her senses eventually. But she did not know how long it would take. They were both immortal though, and she had already lived a very long time. She could be very patient. But it was time for a lecture. One done out of care. It did not take long for her to reappear. "Let me be clear, I a

Mao's eyes widened as she found herself hugged by nothing less than a completely terrified girl. Normally, she never really got to touch anyone this closely or at least nobody ever touched her this closely but the catgirl would not push her away. Gently holding her as well, even she started to wonder if it was wise to push her this far. Pelintira was a master witch of her own making but this girl was fresh new at this and really not anywhere close to be capable of committing such act. Mao could solve this by simply taking her away but her hesitation was palpable. Witches had the freedom of learning whatever they liked, no matter what form of

Pelintira kept smiling at the young elf. “Looks like Mao already went to get one.” She put a had on Alenia’s shoulder. “You already opened the door. Don’t be scared. There are many opportunities here.” They were going to start with a big step, one Alenia might have felt unprepared for. But if she wanted to explore dark magic, she needed to develop a stomach for things she might find distasteful. “Besides, you might make a…friend out of this.” There were many options here. Magic that could be used from this starting point. “Come now”. She took her apprentice’s hand and a magic circle appeared below them. With a flash they were
