Archmage Teluri sat at her desk, carefully carving runes into a little strip of silver. It was early morning and daylight lit the room through the stained glass skylight. She had been working on this runeplate for two hours already and was starting to tire of the delicate work.
At that moment she felt a little twinge of anxiety in the back of her mind. It was the sign of something trying to pass through her wards and enter the chambers by teleportation. Calmly putting down her work she reached out with her mind, trying to perceive the would be intruder. Sure enough she felt their presence through the link to the wards. It was familiar, so she allowed them to pass through. This visitor would provide a nice distraction anyway. She stood up from her work desk and started to walk to the audience chamber. The wards would guide the visitor there.

The audience chamber, like everything in the Archmage's quarters, was finely decorated. It was round and the floor and walls were made of a blue tinged marble. In a ring of soil around the edge, a great variety of plants grew, creeping up the marble walls and filling the room with the scent of their flowers. When Teluri arrived, her guest was already there.
She was a wood nymph. She stood at the side of the room, smelling a flower and whispering to it softly. Like most fey-folk she was a beautiful sight. Slender and not much over five feet tall, her hair was pale green and her eyes an amber colour unlike any mortals. Her skin was pale and smooth, shifting to a greenish hue at her delicate hands and feet, giving an impression not unlike socks and gloves, though she wore none. She was dressed in a garment of close fitting leaves, running between her legs and over the tops of her thighs, nicely framing the shape of her hips. Her breasts were scarcely covered by another neatly arranged fan of greenery and the outfit, such as it was, was completed by two deep green leaves on her shoulders fitted by thin vines to a choker around her neck, on which was mounted a small blue gem.
Teluri was well aware that the nymph only dressed in this, frankly rather stereotypical way to entice her. They were old friends. She was called Clarissa, Clari for short, or that was what Teluri called her anyway, her real name was very long and changed with the seasons.
Clarissa turned away from the flower and gave Teluri a beaming smile. When she spoke her voice was musical and lively.
"I'm so glad to see you Teluri. I've been very bored these last few weeks but last night I found something very interesting and I thought to myself, Teluri would want to hear about this, and so here I am."
As she spoke the nymph crossed the room with graceful stride, coming to stand close to Teluri, her smiling eyes fixing her with an affectionate gaze. Teluri returned the look then turned and sat in one of the high backed chairs that were arranged in a semi circle looking into the room. She indicated for Clarissa to sit, but she remained standing. Teluri spoke.
"I'm glad to see you too Clari, it's been too long, and you're right, I would like to know what you've found, you always have a good eye for these things. Will you tell me?"
With that Clarissa's expression became mischievous. She tilted her head and put a finger to her lips. Teluri smiled at the exaggerated gesture and the nymph replied.
"I don't know about that. Maybe I just wanted to taunt you with it. We spirits do love to taunt mortals."
Teluri assumed a serious expression, though in fact she always enjoyed sparring with Clarissa.
"I'm not really mortal anymore Clari, and it's not wise to taunt the archmage. It's my job to keep spirits like you in line after all."
Clarissa gave a wide grin, leaning forward a little as she spoke.
"That's why it's so fun. I think I'll keep my secret. It seemed very powerful, quite dangerous in fact, just the sort of thing the Archmage is meant to deal with. But now you'll never know what it was. What will you do about that archmage?"
As she spoke the question a flirtatious look came into her eyes. Teluri knew what Clarissa wanted her to do about it. She kept up her officious act as she rose from the chair and fixed the nymph with a stern expression, speaking in a serious tone.
"I can't permit you to keep dangerous secrets from me Clarissa. If you don't want to tell me then I will have to force you."
Clarissa's mischievous smile widened at the last comment and she took a step towards Teluri.
"Oooh. I like it when you get all stern. How are you going to force me mighty archmage? Will you use your spells?"
Teluri too took a step forward so that the pair stood very close. Their eyes locked together, the nymph smiling flirtatiously and the archmage glaring with false severity.
"I don't think any magic will be needed Clarrisa." she said "I won't need to waste any power dealing with a rebellious spirit like you." Then she reached out and took the nymph by the wrist. Clarissa giggled as Teluri turned and led her towards the chair. The archmage sat and, looking up at the smiling Nymph she spoke in a commanding voice.
"Lie over my lap Clarrisa. A spanking will be enough to loosen your tongue."
The Nymph giggled again as she let Teluri pull her down. The archmage guided her into position, her bare stomach resting against her thighs and her bottom, scarcely covered by the leafy garment, raised up and exposed. For a moment Teluri reached out with her mind, willing the seals on her chambers shut, she didn't want any visitors disturbing her now.
Clarissa wriggled a little in Teluri's lap and turned her head to look back at the Archmage. She spoke in a low, flirtatious voice.
"You'll have to make it a very good spanking. I'm tougher than I look, you know."
Teluri smiled now, laying a hand against the smooth skin of the nymphs behind, below her leaf panties. She answered in a casual tone.
"My spankings are always good, Clarissa. You'll be telling me all about your secret soon enough."
The nymph gave a little huff as she turned her face back, then she flexed a little, raising her behind.
"Well, let's see what you've got then, Archmage" she said in a taunting voice.
Teluri was enjoying the feeling of the nymph against her lap, and the warmth of her smooth skin on her hand. It had been a while since Clarissa's last visit. Suddenly it seemed like it would be a rather pleasant day.
