The time that had felt like an eternity to the girl had really been a mere three quarters of an hour, at which point the lock was finally rattled again and clicked open. The door barely made a sound as it opened, a warm yellow glow appearing in the darkness, silhouetting the immensely curvy form of the horned demon at the far left corner of the room. There was another glow of light when she turned and brought a candle into the room. As she made her way inside, she stopped by the wall multiple times, lighting up more candles in their fixtures. A total of five flames appeared against the black stone of the wall far in front of the girl, and gradually revealed more and more details of her surroundings. The space was even larger than she might have expected, with several feet between each of the candles, and with even more room behind the cross where she could barely be able to see if she turned her head to the side.<br/><br/>The first detail that became apparent was the surface below the faint glow of the candles, a long, dark wood counter that reached from far left by the door to the corner at far right, decorated with all sorts of small boxes, display cases, and racks for tools still too much in the dark to be properly identified. Almost everything in the room was dark-brown, grey, or black, so the wide form of the succubus was still the most distinguishable object in the girl’s vision, with a warm glow around the wavy locks of brown hair and the black horns, and the light skin-toned outline of her voluptuous body. The demon blew out the candle she carried, left it on the counter, and then approached the bound girl still very much in the dark except for the dismal glow behind her back.<br/><br/>In her hand, Kerelith carried another set of black leather straps that soon turned out to be a collar that she placed around the girl’s delicate neck under the long, blonde locks of hair, and a blindfold much more elegant than the earlier piece of black cloth. They fit on the girl precisely, the collar so tall it gave a similar feel to the neck than the grip of the demon’s hand before, keeping the head in a straight posture, removing even that little bit of freedom the girl still had. The blindfold gave her another, total blackout not long after the first one had ended, without even a faint glow or a shimmer of light from any small hole like before in the demon’s bedroom. Now all she could do was to use her mouth, and so as she’d make the request to use the bathroom again, the demon let out a deep sigh.<br/><br/>“Didn’t they let you do that before?” Kerelith asked, annoyed, but then added, “You can use the bathroom whenever you need to ...as long as it’s not an excuse for a break.”<br/><br/>The succubus unstrapped the girl’s ankles and wrists and then hooked a finger through the thick metal ring at the back of the collar to guide the blinded girl across the room. They walked to the back, not the door they had used to enter, and after a moment ended up in a smaller chamber where the sound of lightly running water echoed from its uneven walls. Even with the primitive feel of the stone, the facilities were much more practical than any of the ones the girl might have used before, even including those of the high class houses in the city above. The clear, cold water came from an underground spring and had been forked into multiple channels pierced through the stone. When the girl was done, the succubus used the water to lightly wash her up, not too much at a time so the coldness didn’t get too unbearable. In the end, the demon let her have a drink from the stream before they went on to walk back the way the had come.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
