The Ascension
It took a while for me to fall asleep, but when I did I fell into a restless sleep, full of dreams, and wild thoughts coming in and out of my mind. I woke up around 4 and smelt something delicious cooking. I could hear hushed voices talking in a language that sounded like Japanese. I had a hard time getting up and I felt anxious and concerned. This was a lot to take in and even though I had agreed, I was filled with apprehensions about the ritual and what it entailed. The sex part didn't bother me. I loved it even more now. The master slave contract had me a bit concerned and the Diamastigosis made me more than a little nervous. I was scared to be honest. I knew it was going to hurt, but how much I couldn't even begin to imagine.
I heard footsteps coming down the hall and sat up in bed. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," I said in a shaky voice.
I was naked in bed and feeling a bit uncomfortable so I pulled the covers up to my chin and laid back down.
The door opened and George walked in with Ming. It had to be here, she was exactly as he described only more beautiful. He hadn't mentioned that about her. Her facial features were exquisite. She was like a doll, with alabaster skin, high full cheekbones, and her hair in a ceremonial top note was a luxurious silken black, shiny and full of luster. She was wearing a white kimono robe and a pair of Geta, traditional Japanese slippers. They gave her walk a very elegant, graceful sensuality.
I could see her legs and her calves were powerful looking. Thick and veiny muscles protruding and beautiful tattoos on her leg, winding up into her robe. There were long, sinuous, ivy vines and Koa fish, swimming around that twirled up from her foot. It was beautiful.
"Macy, I'd like to introduce you to Ming. She is making us dinner and afterwards, we can discuss the evening's plans. I'll give you some time to get ready, so join us when you can."
"Very nice to meet you Ming."
She smiled and said,
"The pleasure is mine Macy," looking deep into my eyes, like she was trying to see inside my very soul.
They walked out as quickly as they came in and left me alone with my thoughts.
I got up and showered, and dressed in a tracksuit, and did some yoga to get my blood flowing and clear my head. Suddenly from the kitchen I heard the two of them arguing over something.
I heard George say with rising anger and frustration in his voice,
"That was not part of the arrangement before Ming, why has it changed? I've already talked to her about everything and now you want to add this into it. It doesn't feel right to me."
She spoke quieter than George, but with an absolute authority in her voice.
"You are not to question my authority George. It would not go well for you if you understand what I am saying and I believe you do. I suggest that you bring Macy out here and we will explain to her together exactly what she is getting into. Anything less would demean her and us. I think you have feelings for her and I respect that, but I will not let it get in our way, ever. Do you understand."
It was quiet and then I heard footsteps coming towards the room. The door opened and it was Ming.
"Macy, please come with me, there is much to discuss as I am sure you have heard. I apologize for the manner in which we have disturbed you."
I was shaken by this and didn't know what to think or do, so I just nodded and followed her. She had an eerie calm and possessed an absolute command of the room she was in. It was fascinating and a bit scary to be honest. I went into the kitchen and saw George, who looked really shaken and upset, embarrassed almost.
"Macy, George and I wish to speak with you regarding tonight's ritual. There are some things you need to know that will make it clear to you what we are all going to be entering into."
"Okay," I said in a shaky voice.
"I've made you a herbal tea that is very soothing and relaxing. Here sit down and sip this slowly and we can talk."
"George are you going to handle this or should I?"
George looked at Ming, with a solemn stare and said,
"It's my responsibility Ming, I'll talk to Macy."
I was getting more than a bit concerned about all of this.
"Macy, the ascension ritual is not only part of becoming a Helot, it is also an ascension into a sacred order. We are an order of the Sparta, warrior class people, who are highly educated, highly trained, and carefully selected to be a part of the order. Ming is our leader and has final say on all our decisions. I hadn't told you all of this before, and it was foolish of me not to, but I wanted you to belong to me so badly, I didn't think it through and then Ming shared with me today that the ascension ritual has changed and included a sacred bonding act that hasn't been used in hundreds of years. Recently, someone betrayed our order and we were forced to deal with that and it wasn't pleasant. It could have been disastrous for us. This is why this has been brought back. We are business people who make money on preserving antique treasures from all over the world. We believe that knowledge of history will save this world from itself and unfortunately, there are those who do not agree and who oppose us. It is why I need a bodyguard of Alexa's skill and why I train so hard to be able to defend myself. Ming trains in Japan and works with recruits to pass on her skills and knowledge to them. This is also part of the ascension, training in Japan at the sacred temple. I foolishly believed that I could keep this from you and my intention was to protect you, however it is too late as you know about us and have a decision to make. If you go ahead with the ascension, the sacred bonding will be each witnessing member must taste of my seed, once it is in you and then share their own with you for you to be accepted by you to purify you for the ascension. In addition, they will each give you ten lashes and I am to deliver 100 afterwards. You must stay conscious and not complain or the ascension will end. If you endure, you ascend, become my Helot, and a member of the Sparta order. As a Helot, you would not be involved in the business side, but as our agreement stated, would be financially set for life. Your protection if needed would also be provided by Ming, myself and Alexa as well as Leonid and the legions of Sparta.
I was in shock. I didn't know what to think and needed time to take this all in.
"The tradition you speak of, do you mean that all of you would have sex with me tonight?"
Ming answered,
"The sharing of the seed is sacred and divine, sex is for beasts and the uninformed. There is a great difference as you will discover. The ritual of Diamastigosis, is to ensure that you have the strength to join the order. We have all endured and prospered from the ascension. It will change your view of the world and add enlightenment and purpose to your life and great pleasure."
"That's one way to put it I suppose. What if I say no, what happens to me then. To be honest, this scares me all of this talk of a secret association and the need for bodyguards."
"You will be free to leave, but you can never return here, and if we hear that you spoke of any of this, it will not go well for you. You are safer if you were to stay and embrace your new life and many pleasures and wonders await you," she said with that eery calm of hers, smiling warmly at me with an undisguised look of intense lust.
"These sounds like some kind of crime syndicate. I don't like what I'm hearing. I think I'm going to leave."
George looked at me with concern and went to speak but Ming fixed him with a stare that was icy and left no uncertainty as to who would answer this question.
