<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/ixC0gJy.jpg)</div><br/>Ruby had led Tialyn to an alcove in the harem and drawn a gauze like curtain across the entryway. Still it was obvious that all of the other harem girls could see quite clearly through it as they moved about beyond.  Yet as Ruby's fingers, tongue, lips, and body set to work on the paladin, she began to care less and less about the occasional observer.  While Ruby was no where near as skilled at pleasuring a woman as Ebony had been the previous night, it still seemed she'd received quite a bit of training over the last few months.  Tialyn couldn't imagine that the red headed woman who was studying to become a paladin of the shining blade would be so skilled at sapphic pleasure.  What started as guilt, especially at Ruby's constant referring to her as 'mistress' and acting the submissive sex slave turned more fully into pleasure over the hour of delight.<br/><br/>When Tialyn finally became aware of a large form standing just beyond the gauzey curtain, she realized it was the warrior slave come to fetch her.  Shifting from the blankets and cushions of the alcove, she adjusted her outfit and joined Anara.  The muscular slave was dressed exactly as she had been the previous night, which was to say with barely anything.<strong> "If the lady is done taking her pleasure,"</strong>Anara said in a clipped tone, inclinging her head towards Ruby,<strong> "I was instructed to begin your training."</strong><br/><br/>Tialyn followed Anara out to the courtyard, the temperature already warm even though it was still early morning and the sun still cast shadows along the compound walls.  Tialyn would find an area roped off, twenty feet square, in the middle of the courtyard.  Small foot high pegs held a rope above the ground, denoting the area that was apparently to be the makeshift 'fighting ring' for the day.  Around the courtyard were wooden weapons of various types, though Anara strode right to the ring.<br/><br/>However as Tialyn followed her, she was stopped by the almost magical appearance of Ebony.  The drow stepping out from behind a pillar suddenly.  She held up an inky black hand and spoke hurredly.  Tialyn would notice that outside, the drow was squinting, her eyes almost screwed shut as if the bright daylight were almost causing her pain.<strong> "I can tell you had fun in the harem mistress.  Before you step into the ring to train I must speak with you for just a moment."</strong><br/><br/>Tialyn nodded, her eyes glancing to the muscular backside of Anara, who hadn't yet noticed that Tialyn wasn't right behind her still.<br/><br/><strong>"Last night, the pleasure we enjoyed, and whatever you may have done this morning," </strong>Ebony grinned slightly, the smile warring with the nearly shut eyes on her face,<strong>"It was for pleasure's sake, yes, but that doesn't mean you can't use it.  You are weak from your captivity, you face a long week of training ahead of you.  But the pleasure you've taken can be used.  Carnal bliss generates primal energy, and right now your body is suffuse with it.  If you wish I can drain that energy and use it to strengthen your limbs.  Give you back your strength for an hour or longer, depending on how much primal energy flows through you at the moment." </strong>Tialyn hesitated for a moment and Ebony was quick to add,<strong>"There is no downside, save that the spell can only be cast the one time.  It will drain the primal from you.  But you can always regain it again, and I seem to recall that you enjoyed the carnal acts that suffused your body with it last night.  I'd be happy to help you recharge again tonight..." </strong>Her voice dropped to a whisper as she added the word,<em><strong> "...risita."</strong></em><br/><br/>She smiled and Tialyn nodded.  Ebony placed one fingertip on Tialyn's lips, and the palm of her other hand on Tialyn's abdomen.  Her inky fingers pointed downwards, resting just above the mound of Tialyn's sex, though the leather of her outfit stopped the touch from being truly intimate.  Then she muttered,<strong> "Oh Ah'mie, goddess of lusts, this humble servant requests that you take this offering of carnal energy, and use it to strengthen this lover of mine.  We ask this in your name."</strong>Then the red tinted eyes opened slightly as Tialyn felt powerful magic flowing through her, Ebony looking into Tialyn's eyes as she said,<strong>"Thank Ah'mie."</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tialyn is no longer 'lust drunk' like she was the previous night and MAY have different feelings about praising a goddess other than her own.  Then again, she may see it as a harmless act that shows respect to a priestess.  If she doesn't however the spell fails, and ebony seems very disappointed, and leaves quickly.  If she does she feels stronger than she has in months, and full of energy, ready to train.</div></div><br/><br/>Once Ebony was complete, Anara gestured for Tialyn to join her in the ring.<strong>"Well, I know you are a trained warrior, so I shall leave it to you to decide.  Would you like to start off with unarmed combat or would you rather feel the grip of a practice weapon in your hands first?"</strong>She gestured towards the half orc guard that had been guarding the harem earlier,<strong>"Or if you're really eager to see what combat in the pit might be like we can pit you against an opponenent who will not go easy on you."</strong>
