"I agree." Lyla replied with a gentle smile, then shivered slightly. "As to that...Niarra and I were part of a small band of adventurers, along with two friends, Elise and Sakane. We were hired by a village to deal with some gnolls and kobolds in a nearby ruin. The ruin was larger than expected, and there were rumors of a powerful being there, but no one had ever seen the demon. So we were just going to deal with the monsters and go on with life. But after we'd dealt with most of the enemies, everything went black. When I woke, I was in a cell across from Niarra, and both of us were naked."<br/><br/>"Both of us<em>were</em>virgins. I also didn't have this...gemstone, this mark, or the halo, either." Lyla explained, touching the gemstone and the mark on her belly. "She told us we could either cooperate and she'd let us go, or we could fight and she'd just keep us for the fun of it. So I...let her deflower me. And then she branded me with this mark, before doing the same to Niarra. After that everything went black, and we woke up in the woods outside town. And I've also found that I'm kind of...umm...well, I didn't have much of a sex drive before. Now, though..."<br/><br/>Lyla blinked slowly, her eyes dilated as she looked at Mirri closely, her own cheeks flushed as she murmured. "Actually...how did I miss how pretty you are? You're gorgeous."
