<b>Re: The Magician's Apprentice (Leaquad, Qedesha, doom)</b><br/><br/>Tabitha felt the room swim around her, cheeks blazing red as she heard the command. The laughing crowd was a continual audible reminder of the eyes that would be watching her shame, the smells a reminder of the squalid environment, and there was a definite fear in the sound of the voice. It promised more and worse if she did this.<br/><br/>On the other hand... there was a tradition for masters to test apprentices in strange and occasionally dangerous ways, although she'd never heard of anything like this. The dare was there as well, enough to get the fiery redhead's dander up. There was also the fire of ambition in her heart, quite willing to push her into something like this if it was the path to her growth.<br/><br/>The thing that finally decided her, however, was the very real thrill that the thought sent through the darker parts of her mind. She wanted to do it, part of her realised... wanted to bare herself humiliatingly in front of all these people, have them stare at her body and lust after her. The very dark parts imagined the crone lying, the men here taking her, using her body roughly and casting her aside afterwards, soiled and broken.<br/><br/>She quivered as she pushed the thoughts aside and, before her courage broke, turned on her heel and strode to the middle of the room. The hair net fell first, her released hair spilling prettily over her shoulders. The gown was hard to undo, requiring some acrobatics, but it finally fell to the floor... she nearly stumbled as she climbed out of it, leaving her heeled shoes behind. The corset was fortunately laced in front and she was able to undo it... truth be told it didn't do much to her already curvy figure. Finally the shift was pulled over her head, revealing a lush, curved body that, despite her youth, had definite womanly promise.<br/><br/>Her head was down, cheeks matching her hair again as she turned to scuttle back to the table, bare ass wiggling with her sway as she tried to pretend that the room was empty.
