The owl man looked at her for a long time, cocking his head this way and that.   But finally he spoke again, "Very well, you may call me Master.  If you will do my bidding I shall teach you that which you wish to know."<br/><br/>"I agree because I sense a great power in you.  It is not often I meet one as attuned to this place as you.  It's almost as if you're from this place.  But you're obviously not or you'd be more corrupted than you already are.  But I can see by the seed of the dog man on you, that you've taken part in their ways recently.  I'll give you this first bit of advice free, be careful with them.  It may be easy to give into your lust, to let them pleasure you and to enjoy it.   But if you give in too much, they will become your master.  If you allow such a thing, you'll be limited to that route of power.... the route of the submissive that uses what power is given to her."<br/><br/>"However you can also go too far the other way, become a dominating force, one who takes sex with no concern for her partner.  This is the path of the succubus.  While it is powerful, it is also easy to lose yourself to the corruption.   By the tone of your skin, I'd say you've already started down this path.   I judge you not, for it is very difficult to walk the line between being a powerful, dominatrix, and a deep reservoir of power that comes from being a submissive.  Few can balance both needs well."<br/><br/>"Now, I will let you ask me one question as my apprentice, then I will give you two simple tasks.  The first task should be easy for one of your beauty.  Should you find someone that you wish to copulate with, bring them back around nightfall.  You will fornicate with them while I watch.  Thusly I can gauge how you draw power from sex.  If you do this first task, you may spend the night in my tree.  It is warm and it is safe, though I have no food for you that you would enjoy.   The next task may take you a few days.  But I wish you to bring me the horns from six imps.   Bring me twelve horns in good shape, I care not how you get them, and I will teach you a magical spell of power."<br/><br/>He yawned, a wide beaky yawn, "Now, you may ask me a single question apprentice, then I must take a nap, I'm not used to being up this time of day."
