True Strength [Ruebia]

[Annalisa Marin]

17th of Summer, 513 AV Anna sat in the center of the place she now called her testing grounds, located a few bells to the northwest of Zeltiva proper, with her legs crossed and her eyes closed to the world around her. The scars of numerous earth reimancy tests littered the ground around her, with a large ditch and some broken trees located not far from her as evidence of a failed experiment of the past. Her cloak, boots, and backpack were located under a nearby tree and the shade of the leaves above her shifted as the branches moved with the light breeze. It was a beautiful day, and what better way to celebrate such a wonderful day than by meditating and preparing to manipulate res? Anna was slowly learning the best ways to properly meditate, how to control the breathing and how to block out the sounds around her to clear the mind. It was by no means a perfect understanding but it was one that was developing at a sure pace. It was still tricky to get the proper form down, but she was sure that she could get it eventually. Anna's breathing was slow and deliberate, each one clearing her mind of the distracting sounds of the wilderness around her. She had been at this for about ten chimes but patience was a part of the process as stubbornness would only cause problems later down the road. Her black hair was free and falling about her face and her expression was calm and collected, content one might say. The young professor wondered why she had not taken this form of calming exercise up sooner rather than later. It was definitely helpful when it came to focusing upon a goal that she had set in her mind, crucial one might say at this point. It was becoming a part of her normal routine before each practice so that she would have some clarity of thought. It was almost as important as when she glyphed her hand and feet to provide focus. Already she could feel the troubles of the world beginning to melt away as clarity came to her. She could see the shape she wanted to clearly in her mind, it was a simple thing really. A large rock really about the size of a hand, though the force behind it would have the strength of a fist. She already had a name in mind for the small construct, the Earthen Fist, a simple name for a simple weapon. Her fight with Tallis had taught her something, she needed to improve upon the basics first before the complex forms. A basic and quick mode of disabling an enemy would definitely be helpful in this instance. Anna opened her eyes once her meditation was complete and began the next part of her preparation for training, her stretches. This was another relatively new thing for her, however she was of the theory that a sound body and a sound mind made one much more capable in the long run. This theory was further reinforced by Tallis, just by getting close to her he had managed to effectively defeat her. That could never happen again, not ever. She spread her legs out and started stretching, reaching as far as she could to her right leg, stopping just below her ankle with her toes still out of reach and held that for a chime. The action caused her to feel the stretching of her muscles, it was still a little uncomfortable at times but she knew that she needed to maintain this kind of thing for it to ever feel natural. Anna switched legs and repeated the same process, holding her hand there for a chime before finally standing and stretching up as high as she could manage and holding that for another chime. After this she reached behind her back with one arm and held it down as far as she could managed to stretch it. She held this for a chime before switching arms and doing the same. Finally the young professor bent over and reached down to her toes as far as she could, her fingers falling well short of their intended goal. This annoyed her to some degree but then she was no acrobat. After holding this for a little while Anna sighed and moved to her back pack to prepare herself the same way she always did, through glyphing her hands and feet. Anna returned to the place she had sat not moments ago, brush in hand and ink at the ready for Glyphing. The young woman started with her right foot, drawing a circular pattern as she began her first focus. The creation of these was becoming much more easy for her, however with that there were now added complexities. No longer would she just be using focus glyphs but also Pathway runes to better affect the flow of res to her hands and feet. She finished her first glyph in about four chimes, a good time and the glyph itself looked rather good considering. Anna moved on to her left foot and repeated the pattern, gratified that this was coming much more easily to her. All of her practice appeared to be paying off. About fifteen chimes later Anna had finished her focus glyphs and was now moving on to drawing the paths. She started with the first barrier glyph on her right foot, drawing a pattern of small runes around the larger focus before making a path up her leg and ending it with another barrier. She slowly added the paths to her other glyphs, making sure to check for errors as she did. Not a single brushstroke escaped her notice nor did a single error, which were quickly corrected as soon as they were spotted. The young professor took stock of her handiwork, nodding in approval as she stood up, ready to begin her Djed manipulation. She started with a low incantation in the Ancient Tongue, mostly gibberish as usual but it was an extremely useful focus in the process of spellcasting no matter how experienced the wizard. Translucent res formed in the palm of her right hand, slowly sheathing it. Anna sighed slightly as the euphoria of casting made itself apparent right away, it was a pleasurable feeling for her which made it all the more dangerous. She pushed aside the feeling and moved the res out from her hand to the air before her. Once she was sure that she got the size correct the chanting woman willed the liquid to begin to transmute to a solid form before transmuting it to rock. Normally she would have drawn the elements from around her for this but she needed to make sure the test was accurate so transmutation was necessary at this juncture. When the outer layer of the rock formed Anna prepared it to be sent out to a nearby tree, still maintaining control of the inner layer of her construct. Her legs were spread out and with one motion she willed the large fist of stone outward, transmuting the rest as it left her zone of control. The rock didn't hit the tree dead center, her aim was not perfect unfortunately, but the glancing blow it had tore through a couple of thick braches as it whistled off into the forest beyond. Anna smiled victoriously, not her most fearsome display but certainly what she had set out to accomplish. The Earthen Fist was a success.

[Ruebia]

Ruebia Summer 17th, 513 AV Ruebia had awoken very early that day, before the sixth bell. She had been restless as usual, and full of aimless energy. In an attempt to spend some of that energy she had gone up into the foothills behind the inn and practiced with her short bow for a while. She had begun with simply pulling the string back over and over, until she could pull the string back fully to her cheek in the span of a second. She had shot at the trees, trying to tune her movements to the rhythm of reach and draw, position and hold, lift and pull, breathe in then out, release. She shot off a few arrows, one after another all the while aiming for a tree 20 yards in front of her until the practice became habit and her torso muscles memorized the motions. Her shoulders had a sweet ache, the muscles there knew the exact distance from her hip to her shoulder and from her shoulder to the mouth of the quiver. Her arms sang with the tension of the bow even when they were relaxed. Out of the seven arrows she had shot three were lodged in the trunk, at varying heights. She continued to shoot off more, counting in her head each one that left her quiver so that she wouldn't lose any. And for nearly a bell she was calm and steady but that didn't last long. Fifteen chimes before the seventh bell, she was at the peak of her focus and more often than not her arrows were hitting the tree. She began to get excited at her progress, and she shot faster until she reached back and felt emptiness. She had shot all twenty of her arrows! Quickly she hooked the bow over her shoulder and went to retrieve them. She pulled first from the tree, a total of eleven out of twenty. More hits than missed, she smiled eagerly. Maybe she could try fishing with her arrows. She placed the eleven in her quiver and went searching for the others. After the seventh bell rang, she had found the rest of them. One or two were getting dull at the tip, the feathers on the end sticking out in disarray. She thought about getting another pack of arrows before she left, and maybe a target or two from the general store. She turned back to the inn at a quarter after the eighth bell, intending to pay for another weeks worth of room and to get some rope and maybe something else that would help with her new fishing experiment. It didn't take too long, and soon Rue was out on her way to the docks. She hit the most vacant one, excited to try out her new idea but as she reached one she noticed a girl sitting at the edge already using the dock. She seemed to be trying out her fish pole, she didn't look much experienced with it. Ruebia smiled as it brought back a memory or two of her family. And a giggle, which echoed loudly off the planks. She clapped a hand over her mouth hoping she hadn't disturbed the girl and moved quietly away. Well there went her fishing plans, the dock was beginning to get lively, the fisherman going about there business. She walked amongst them for a bit, wondering what else she could do. It was getting old, the days spent not doing anything. She should get a job she decided, maybe one among the docks. They always needed help. Or maybe she should just leave, she thought. Through the Pass and away. It would be dangerous, she thought but she could do it. She didn't need to find a group to travel with or a boat to sail on. She would just go. She mused like that for awhile, her legs moving on there own. Before she looked up and caught herself, she had walked through town between West and East streets and was a few chimes away from the Pass. She looked at and steeling herself she walked through it. She would just wander away, keeping Zeltiva to her left and come back after a few bells. She began to walk aimlessly for a while until her excitement got the best of her. This was the first time she had ever been outside of Zeltiva! She began to run, enjoying the crunch of the grass beneath her feet and she unhooked her bow holding it in her hand as she ran. She had never moved with the bow in her hand she was pleased to know it didn't hinder her as much as she thought it would. She grew even more excited and she spotted a boulder about waist height to her right and zoomed toward it. She vaulted over it single-handily without stopping and went immediately into a roll on the other side, tucking the bow parallel to the roll so as not to crush it. She stopped on one knee and the other upraised to keep her balance. As she rose fully up on the knee, she raised the bow and pulled back the string, letting loose an imaginary arrow. In her minds eye it zoomed straight and hit a tree in the distance and she laughed and ran after it. She went on like that for a few bells getting farther and farther from Zeltiva until she tripped in the middle of a ditch. She picked herself up quickly, looking around her. There were scars in the ground in many other places and a few broken trees off to the side. She went and examined those and was about to go back to the ditch when she heard a twig snap behind her. Quickly and quietly she ran to a healthy tree with dense foliage and slipped her bow back over her head and shoulders. She climbed the tree deftly and just as she sat in a branch hidden among the top leafs on the tree a woman stepped into the area below her. Ruebia kept deathly still as the woman took off her boots and cloak and backpack and put them in a tree not too far from the tree Ruebia hid in. Then she sat down, legs crossed and Rue watched as she closed her eyes and began to meditate. She sat there for a while and Rue thought about escaping. After a few more chimes of the woman not moving, Rue decided she had better try. She moved an inch but before she could move further the woman opened her eyes and began stretching. Rue groaned on the inside. The woman wasn't very nimble and Rue thought she could get away if she jumped from the tree and just ran. Hopefully the woman would be too startled and wouldn't come after her right away and Rue would have a head start. But before she could make good on her plan, the woman pulled out a brush and ink from her backpack and began writing on herself. Struck with curiosity, Ruebia watched until the woman finished drawing and stood back up. Then she began to speak in gibberish! Ruebia's brows furrowed in confusion. What was this woman doing? And then Ruebia held her breath, a liquid like substance was forming around the womans hand and moving into the air. It hardened and tightened and Ruebia let out a gasp as it went flying towards a tree. It didn't hit on center but it hit on the side, tearing out a sizeable chunk. Ruebia moved out towards the end of the branch in order to get a better look, not hearing it creak in protest. Before she could move back, it snapped and Ruebia went tumbling to the ground. Before she could hit it, she willed herself into a cat, grateful that her shirt had a wide neck. In her cat's deep reddish brown form she had just enough time to right herself in the air and land on all fours amongst the clothes. Before she could move however, her quiver and bow came down right after her and the quiver landed roughly on her tail. Ruebia let out a loud yelp and pulled her sore tail close to her body as she lay huddled in the heap on clothes at the base of the tree.

[Annalisa Marin]

What the petch? Anna heard the loud crashing of a tree limb from behind her and an audible thud as it and something else hit the ground. She turned quickly, aware of the many dangers presented by the Wildlands, even so close to Zeltiva there was the possibilities of bandits or thieves. The urge to form more res was surging in her mind, insidiously offered as a precaution but Anna pushed it down with a growl and clinched teeth. It was tempting but she needed to assess what had caused the disturbance, to see what creature had been stupid enough to set foot in her testing grounds. She was rather confused to see what looked to be a cat with reddish brown fur lying in a pile of clothes, along with a bow and a quiver. It definitely gave her cause to raise an eyebrow rather than summon res for an attack. She looked up the tree for a look to see if there was anything or anyone up there, she saw nothing. No possible owner of the cat or the clothing was up there, it was odd. The only other explanation was that the cat was the owner of the clothing, the idea made her snort in amusement. Anna slowly approached the cat, those items looked fairly useful perhaps they would fetch a good price at the market. Anna smiled at the thought, Rhysol must be smiling upon her this day. As a precaution she drew a bit of res into her right hand, enough to create a small bit of fire to scare away the cat if it tried anything dumb. It was more than a little odd that such a thing would just fall out of a tree near her. Why was it there? Her display of magic should have scared it away if nothing else. Her grey eyes narrowed as she waved the creature away from her testing grounds. She didn't need some stray cat getting in the way of her important practice and experimentation. "I would suggest you take the hint and leave, cat, otherwise you might find yourself on the receiving end of my experiments." Anna said, her tone as threatening and unfriendly as she could possibly make it. She was more interested in the possessions the creature was draped in than the beast itself, it was relatively inconsequential. However her threat of a test subject was not idle one, she had used wildlife plenty of times to test her spells. Mostly earthen constructs as fire had a tendency to get out of hand when used in the wilds. Such was the way of things unfortunately

[Ruebia]

Ruebia Ruebia watched as the woman approached her warily. Her tail's throbbing was beginning to subside into an ache but it still hurt enough. She lay still, she had hoped that the woman would leave her alone but it seemed the woman had her own ideas. Normally she would bolt as a cat and leave her clothes there but as she was now on her own and the clothes on her back were the only kind she owned so she couldn't. Maybe she should purchase a back up pair for such situations. But regardless of her willingness to leave her clothes, she couldn't abandon her bow, she would never leave it here. As the woman continued to approach, a small ball of fire appeared in her hand and Ruebia hissed. Was she going to burn her? She had never encountered such a reaction before. She had almost been captured before by a little girls mother and numerous times she had been given some milk or a tidbit of fish when seen in the back alleys but never before had someone threatened her cat form with fire. She hissed again, a small sound and then the woman spoke, telling her to leave and threatening to use her in an experiment. Ruebia rose on all four paws then and arched her back, the fur standing on end. She wanted to run truly but she couldn't leave her bow and quiver there. Maybe she should just explain that to the woman. But she couldn't explain that as a cat. She would have to transform back. Her mother had often told her not to transform from cat to girl in front of other people, something about humans respecting modesty and it being the reason why she was expected to wear clothes in her human form. Ruebia hadn't thought it necessary, after all her human form changed so quickly. She was constantly growing and the clothes that fit two weeks ago were too small to wear now. What was the point in them really? Ruebia stopped hissing and sat on her haunches. The woman in front of her was the same sex, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. Her brothers had often been naked in front of each other but had shooed her away when she came near. She would transform and tell the woman she was leaving now, she just needed to gather her things. She closed her eyes for a second and willed herself back into her human form. A swirl of lights formed around her and in an instant, she was sitting nude on top of her clothes. Her hair, the same color as her fur and just past her shoulder blades in length had escaped from the braid she had it in and was strewn around her caramel brown shoulders. A few wisps hung over her turquoise eyes, which were slitted like her cat form's own. She stood up, unabashed by her curvy yet athletic frame and bent to retrieve her things then winced. The bottom of her back was sore and it hurt to bend. She would have to go to her mothers to get an ointment for it. For now she ignored the pain and keeping the woman in her sight, picked up her clothing and her bow and quiver. "I did not mean to spy, I was just leaving." she said and inched backwards, towards a space in the trees.

[Annalisa Marin]

There were few things that surprised Annalisa Marin, she was a wizard after all and she had also had a conversation with a literal god. After experiencing the power of the Arcana and standing in the presence the divine little else could really compare. However a person changing from cat to human was something that went beyond the norm. Her mind immediately went into threat mode meaning that she generated res around her hands quickly, completely sheathing them in the translucent fluid up to her wrists. This was a rather poor move as it spiked the urge to cast more extremely high due to the abruptness of forcing the res out so quickly. Combine this with extreme paranoia and you had a recipe for disaster. Anna willed the res to split into two balls quickly, spurred on by the overwhelming desire to cast. Her eyes narrowed and the incantations of the Ancient Tongue were on her lips as she willed the outer layers of both to ignite into hovering balls of fire. The visage of an enraged and surprised wizard having two balls of fire on either side was no doubt an intimidating one. Anna only barely held in the urge to blast this woman, holding back the whispers in her brain which crawled about below the surface of her mind. She wanted answers, which she would not get if she destroyed the creature before her, though the urge was quite tempting as the speed of her casting had pushed her very dangerously closer to giving in to temptation and surrendering herself to the euphoria of casting. Her gaze was angered beyond belief and possessed slight tinges of surprise to it. She looked about ready to unleash her power on the odd woman, which she very nearly had. "Take another step back and not even whatever magic you possess will save you from me. I'll burn you alive from the inside out if you don't answer my questions." The young professor threatened darkly. "Your going to put those weapons and clothes down, right now, step forward so I can see you better, and carefully explain what the petch you are and what magic lets you shift. I guarantee a very painful demise for you if you make any moves I don't like." Anna promised. The young professor glared at the woman, meaning every word of that threat. She was quite the paranoid wizard but such was the way of things, considering what she just saw it seemed extremely justified. For all she knew this person could easily be a wizard of some kind sent to spy on her. Supposing innocence here was very unwise.

[Ruebia]

Ruebia Ruebia frowned in confusion. Had she not just told the woman she was leaving? And now the woman was threatening her life! Rue wished she could run. But her back still hurt and Ruebia doubted she would be able to run as fast as she needed nor to bob and weave in order to not get hit by those fireballs. She had seen how fast the little rock like thing the woman had thrown before had been and fire was faster than rock. She doubted it would be slower. She was stuck. When the woman instructed her to put down her clothes, she glared at her. She knew the woman meant every word in her threat. Ruebia was a naive girl, but she wasn't stupid. If she hadn't hurt herself she would've ran, using her agility to her advantage. She was a survivalist at all costs and even though she wouldn't run from every fight, she knew which ones she could win and which ones were futile. And this situation was futile. She bent slowly and dropped her clothes and her bow and quiver and then stood back up and took a step forward. "I am a Kelvic. It's not.. magic.. that makes me shift. It is what Kelvics do." she glared at the woman, letting her know that if she let her guard down once, Rue would attack her. She had never encountered someone so... so hostile. There were always an upper class citizen that looked down their nose at anyone below them and the occasional drunkard or roughian that Ruebia just happened to get in the way of. And sometimes a sailor, tired from the journey or from a different type of society than hers would have no patience with Ruebia's constant scrutiny but never had Ruebia's life been threatened. This was her first time outside of Zeltiva and at only a few bells away this was the situation she had gotten herself into. Was the rest of the world like this? Would she have to learn how to defend herself more thoroughly? Ruebia frowned even deeper. Was this woman mad? Insane? She made fists, the sharper than normal nails digging into her palms to calm herself down. What good would all her plans to travel do her if she died now? But her patience was waning, she didn't like being held up her when she had done nothing wrong to the woman. Granted she had spied but it was for a mere second and it was on accident. She tried to let the woman make her leave again. "I have answered your questions. I wish to go now." she said through gritted teeth. "I won't tell anyone what I saw." she added on as a precaution. She wasn't sure what the woman was doing was illegal or not. She wasn't even sure what she was doing in the first place. All Ruebia knew was that if she lived through this, she was going to stay a city away from other people like the woman in front of her if possible.

[Annalisa Marin]

Anna heard her explanation and it rang true to her ears, it was very likely that she was just another hapless explorer in the Wildlands. The word 'Kelvic' caught her attention, it had come up in a few of her readings every now and then. A race of shapeshifters, or so the rumors said, while Anna was not normally one to listen closely to rumors it would explain it. She was more than a little curious about this creature, however the thing that was catching her attention was her beauty. Her form was quite breathtaking, a wonderful shade of caramel brown skin filled her vision and a figure that was both wonderfully curvy and athletic. Anna felt something stir in her, an urge beyond the desire to cast but something much more primal that she had long denied herself. The young wizard fully believed that she would tell no one about what occurred here, however Anna wanted something more now. There was no one around in the Wildlands for a long ways away, she had this woman at her complete mercy. The only thing she needed to address was dealing with keeping her here and preventing escape. The maintenance of the fireballs was quite irritating, an unnecessary drain on her Djed. Besides she could probably get away with extinguishing the flames and still threatening to harm her if she moved away. She was naked and unarmed, what could she possibly do to her especially after such a fall. The wizard detached the outer layer of flame from the ball, the urge swimming under her conscious thoughts. The wizard calmly extinguished the flames, leaving two smaller balls of res hovering in the air. This was much better, and she could use this res to safely bind her to the ground with earth. The professor kept her gaze as intimidating as she could make it, gesturing to the ground before her. "I can easily call back the flames, or turn the air in your lungs to ash. Lay down on the ground and spread your arms and legs out." The wizard commanded. She didn't really care too much about interrogation at the moment, Anna just wanted to take a much closer look at the young woman. If she liked what she was, odds were there would be little preventing Anna from taking the girl here and now. It had been far, far too long since the young professor had been intimate with anyone, willing or not. The so called kelvic was simply in the right place at the right time for her. Her gaze was still hard but an observant person might notice the primal hunger beneath them. Normally she was one to think things like this through, but in truth there was very little to consider. She was a beautiful young woman in the Wildlands at Anna's mercy, and Anna herself was rather hungry for a bit of release at the moment. It was quite possible that this urge was fueled by her casting, but Anna didn't really care about that. What she did care about was how she was going to ravish this woman, and how she would go about it. It was that simple.

[Ruebia]

Ruebia Ruebia raised an eyebrow at the woman. It had seemed that the woman wasn't going to let her go as she hoped. Rue watched as the flames died down in the womans hands to a smaller ball of the original liquidy stuff. Ruebia was beginning to connect the liquid to the base of the womans power. It always started in that form before it transformed into something else. Ruebia could feel the smallest twinge of curiosity in the liquid forming in her mind. Hopefully the woman wasn't going to harm her. Ruebia watched the woman as she looked at Ruebia's nude body. It seemed like she was examining it. Maybe she just wanted to know more about what Rue was. She was probably going to question her and let her go. Ruebia calmed down a bit at the thought and then was riled up again when the woman told her to lay down, threatening her again. She looked at woman confused. Why did she want her on the ground? What good would that do her? Ruebia did not recognize the look of hunger in the womans eyes. Nor would she have understood it if she did. Rue was in most definitions a tomboy, she was more interested in playing and stalking and climbing and freerunning than wearing pretty clothes or making sure her hair and face looked nice. The most she did to her hair was to sometimes braid it or tie it back out of the way. She had no indication of how pretty she was or if she even was at all. And her budding womanly body was merely a new hindrance to her speed and agility that she had learned to overcome. And so as she lay on the ground, hands and and legs spread out she thought the woman merely meant to search her body for a secret to her morphing. And as far as Ruebia could tell there wasn't any telltale signs to her cat form when she was a human besides from her eyes. Maybe her nails, they were a tad bit sharper than normal humans, her mother's bondmates sons had told her so. And her incisors were sharper too. In order to speed up the interrogation progress she proceeded to tell the woman so. "I haven't any marks on my body that can tell you about my cat form. Besides from my eyes... and my nails and my teeth which are sharper. I honestly don't know much about Kelvics. The only other one I knew was my mother. And.. I did not ask her much about what we were." she told the woman from the ground. I should have learned all I could from mother, she thought. Maybe she would visit tomorrow and speak to her. And then a thought came to her. "The University would have more answers about my kind. Its in Zeltiva, a few bells from here. If you let me up, I can show you the way..." she said in her most sweetest voice. And then she would lose her in the crowd. Maybe she would lead her to East Street and let her get caught up in the dangers there. Ruebia couldn't help but smirk a little, thinking herself clever for thinking of such a plan. Her cheeks dimpled with the smirk and her eyes twinkled mischievously. Maybe she could get away afterall.

[Annalisa Marin]

Anna smiled slightly as the woman complied with her demand, pleased with her attempts at cowing and intimidating her. She was preparing to use her res to bind the woman when she started talking about her race and its abilities and features, Anna was already aware of the Library possessing some knowledge on the subject. She seemed to speak as though she did no know Anna was from the city, idly she wondered if she should give her a rude awakening. She didn't need the guidance of this woman to find her way around her city, however the useful info was tucked away for later research. Instead Anna locked eyes with her captive, glaring down at her.

"Don't move a muscle." The young wizard commanded as she willed the liquid res to separate and move across the ground.

The translucent liquid snaked its way through the cool grass, wrapping itself around her wrists and ankles and digging into the ground. Anna chanted low in Nader Canoch as she willed the res to solidify and begin to transmute to earth. This process was mildly taxing as the casting was not exactly big, but combined with her exertions it was enough to tire her out. She transmuted it to earth, keeping a small inner layer of res left in the event that she needed to free her. The bonds were tight and wound be extremely difficult to wriggle out of, if not impossible for a non wizard or one of great physical strength.

Anna stalked over to her captive, looming over her and appraising her form with extreme delight. She bents down slightly to caress one of her breasts, sighing slightly to herself as she nearly just gave in. Instead she stood up again, stripping off her shirt and moving off to the rest of her supplies. She tossed a look over her shoulder as she began to undress.

"Tell me girl, are you a virgin? Ever been with a man or woman before?" Anna asked casually.

She started to work with her pants, grateful that the other woman was naked as it made this whole thing much easier. Once her shirt and pants were gone, Anna tore off her underclothes, leaving her standing naked as the day she was born in the middle of her practice grounds. She strode slowly back over to her captive, her eyes fogging over as the urge burning in her flared.

Anna looked down at the young woman with a rather suggestive smirk as she knelt down.

"Not to worry, my dear, I'll make this an experience to remember fondly." She said as her hands wandered lightly across the other woman's bare skin.

[Ruebia]

Ruebia Ruebia frowned as the woman willed the liquid into the earth creating binds of earth around her wrists and ankles. Why would she have to tie her down? She struggled briefly, testing the strength in the binds to see if she could break them. With all the training with her bow her arms were stronger now and she thought she could break them if she tried really hard. Before she could try the woman bent and brushed a hand along her exposed breast. Ruebia gasped. Why would the woman touch her there? And why had her body responded to it in such a peculiar way? She watched as the woman began to remove her clothing. Confused, Ruebia noticed that the woman had a nice build to her. For all her previous stiffness, she wasn't overly skinny nor was she as curvy as Rue and from the ground she seemed very very tall. As she undressed she threw Ruebia a confusing question. A virgin? What was a virgin? Ruebia had a feeling in her gut that what the woman was going to do to her was no longer interrogation. She found herself shifting on the ground, she could easily escape now. All she had to do was shift to a cat, move her arms and legs a bit and shift back. The woman would be preoccupied as she was pulling down her pants. A simple shift and quick feet. But Rue found her her eyes drawn to the woman's skin and back and behind as she bent to pull off her pants. She squirmed again as the woman turned around and stood over her, promising to make whatever she was going to do an memorable experience. Her eyes moved down the woman's body and Ruebia felt her face begin to heat up, the caramel brown tone tinging with a deep red as she caught the woman's gaze. Something instinctual in her warmed up and she held the woman's gaze as she brushed her hands over Ruebia's body. "What are you going to do to me?" she asked, slightly breathless, her lips slightly parted. Her head was beginning to spin.
