The response to Queen Ileosa's proclamations were riotous...And grounds for deep consideration, as the religion of the Sun Empress took root! All the while - Even as the first temples were erected, the first trials of physical fitness and wit established - no expense was spared to search for the witch...<br/><br/>-It is a poor goddess, after all, who can't deliver miracles as required.<br/><br/>Society was changing before the lovely monarch's very eyes...With startling rapidity, no doubt. Gold poured into the coffers - much depleted, after the initial overlay - only for the witch Ileosa had been searching for to arrive at last...Seemingly drawn by the rapidly-expanding country! Of course, not<em>everyone</em>was happy...<br/><br/>"The Elves?" Queen Ileosa inquired. "What about them?"<br/><br/>From the look of things, they were holding off for now - But they might be trouble in the future. Perhaps, being extraordinarily long-lived and more advanced, they'd ignore the upstart Empress for now...But if she truly intended to live forever, the time might come where she would have to deal with them. For now, she'd ensure that her soldiers were well-armed and trained, and never short of cold iron - Just in case.<br/><br/>The faint<em>beep</em>of her nation's stats lingered in her ears, as the virtual vixen glanced down at her silver bracelet...She had an advantage no other ruler could hope for, of course; She alone had an<em>accurate</em>picture of her kingdom's state. Of course, that was subject to change...<br/><br/>To her own surprise, the religion was catching on. Even in places she hadn't expected it to - It'd form a common ground for future negotiation...But not yet. Not before the lovely monarch could prove herself a goddess in<em>truth</em>-!<br/><br/>Of course, the lovely dark-haired witch's training was both esoteric and<em>very</em>comprehensive indeed. More, it required the services of many...Fortunately, with the harem temples, the Queen had access to willing partners. And Marcus Pellus, of course - Whom she'd taken as a lover - was very, very eager to provide his aid, too...<br/><br/>---------------<br/><br/>"Ahhhhhh,<em>aaahhhhh</em>~!!!"<br/><br/>Queen Ileosa's sweet moans filled the air, her hips rolling just so...Marcus was as skilled with his tongue as he was at swordplay! Her slim fingers raked against the sheets, her hips bucking just so...Her creamy skin sheened with sweat, her toes curling as a cry of pleasure rang from the walls! All right, maybe she'd been indulging herself more than a little...But it was all for a good cause. Unbound, her midnight tresses cascaded down the sleek arch of Ileosa's back, as she straddled Marcus - Her<em>moan</em>purring from deep, deep within, as he *sank* into her-<br/><br/><em>-schllllllllllttttt-</em><br/><br/>Her hips bucked, her voluptuous form rising and falling, rising and falling as she *rode* him...Her heady cries mingling with his grunts, the first pulse of heat making her eyes roll back in her head!<br/><br/>"Haaa, haaa..." she purred, as she subsided - Letting him sink back to the mattress, as she came down from her high...Her gaze going to Morrigan, as the lovely witch looked on! She'd been practicing, of course, with the singleminded focus of a woman on the verge of a breakthrough - But then, Queen Ileosa<em>knew</em>that she was so very, very close indeed to learning what she needed. Her lissome legs crossed, with a supple scrape...<br/><br/>"-How goes my progress?" the lovely monarch asked, canting her head to the side just so - She was more than happy to accommodate Morrigan's requirements, but already the Queen had plans of her own! Perhaps to her own surprise, she'd quite taken to the lovely Witch...Not just as a tutor, but very much as a kindred spirit!
