Prologue
An Unnamed Academy, in a place far from the fields we know.
Headmaster: "You know Azaril, I knew when we took you on as a student, you'd be trouble. Given that we're dark elves that's saying a lot."
Azaril, overconfident dark elf student of dark magic: "Er, things turned out okay. We managed to banish it."
"... Banish it..." growled the Headmaster, "The library is trashed, three students are insane, the instructor has quit, and is threatening to sue. And all because you summoned an eldritch demon for, what? A sordid prank on the
Girls' Hedge Witch Club
? Only noble-born are allowed shenanigans like that."
"It was only supposed to be an imp: a pranky imp. Vanny (short for Vanikpar) screwed up the glyph configuration."
"Hey!" Vanikpar, the other overconfident student of dark magic, "Don't blame me for your fuck up! You're the one who didn't read the astrological charts, Mister 'I know the stars like the back of my hand.' More like the back of your ass."
The Headmaster massaged his forehead, feeling a severe headache coming on. "Sigh! Right, okay. First, ten strokes of the cane each for both of you. Then, clean up this mess. After that, two essays each on astrology and glyph writing, with special emphasis on the difference between the Ithaqua's Cock constellation and the Succubus' Vulva. Maybe next time you try a stunt like this, it won't be a shoggoth in mating season. By the way, where did you banish it?"
"The realm of Kemen," said Azaril.
"Humph! Then it's going to be some human's problem. That's points for you for a successful banishing. Your punishment would be more severe otherwise. It might still be, once I inform the Superintendent and Board of your little fuck up. Off to detention, you two. The head boys will be along presently."
The Headmaster left, missing not the brief look of anticipation flashing across Azaril's face.
The boy likes his pain. I wonder if he screwed up the summoning just to create a situation like this?
The Headmaster strode to the Superintendent's building, sparing not a thought for the unknown human who would have the misfortune of encountering a shoggoth in heat. Why would a dark elf care about such lowly creatures anyway?
Minnesota, as one knows, is "The Land of 10,000 Lakes." One such lake is
Rainy Lake,
on the US and Canadian border.
The events contributing to the disappearance of one
Carla Adachi Somby,
whilst occurring at the lake, went unnoticed by the locals. None, including the investigating authorities, made any connection between the victim's discarded sundress, and lime green bikini, and the mysterious shooting star seen in the early morning of May, 7, 20..
The secluded location of that particular area contributed to the mystery.
A family of picnickers, wishing to celebrate the start of summer away from the more crowded areas, stumbled across the scene, noticing the discarded clothing and beach towel. A bottle of sunscreen was found, dropped nearby.
Carla Somby's disappearance, she'd failed to come home, or show up for work, several weeks previous, had already made the rounds, so the family contacted the authorities.
The
International Falls PD
and the
Minnesota State Patrol
investigated. Detectives noted the beach towel's bunched up appearance, as if someone, or something, had dragged a body from it, into the water.
The discarded bikini bottom was discovered floating among the nearby reeds, ripped, as if torn off.
The sundress and bikini bottom matched the description of those worn by Carla Somby, a paralegal, formerly of
Minneapolis,
returned to her hometown of
International Falls
.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) forensic lab confirmed the match, via DNA analysis.
Subsequent investigations by divers found no sign of her body, except a matching lime green bikini top, also ripped. Carla Somby's disappearance would remain an open investigation for years after, as well as a popular subject for conspiracy theorists.
May 30, 20..
"Mmmm, my secret place," Carla smiled, pleased to see it undisturbed.
The Brady Law Office had given her a day off, a small reward for her hard work this past year. It was a good thing. More rest to help her recover from Minnesota.
It couldn't be said Carla Somby returned to IF with her tail between her legs. It was more a familiar refuge to help her recover from the trauma of
Carlton, Hvengaard, and Berenstein.
She'd left IF for law school, and got hired at CHB straight out of college, dreams of high powered legal glory swimming through her head.
She was good. She knew that. The work was good too... for all of six months. She worked her ass off.
Unfortunately, as Carla found out, her ass was all the three partners found interesting. Along with her boobs, legs, and what was between.
Brains, talent, ambition... they could get you far in the firm, so long as you gave "extra."
Carla got no help from her female colleagues. The ones who didn't put out this "extra" effort found other ways up the ladder. Mainly by screwing over young naive newbies like herself.
In her short, hellacious employment at CHB, Carla discovered it to be a toxic waste dump of backstabbing sociopaths, Queen Bee bullies, sex harassing incels, and gaslighting sleazebags to make
The Firm
from the Tom Cruise movie look like the law office from
Matlock
.
CHB, per its ruthless policy, hired the worst, not so much in performance, but character. Plus an occasional "nice one" (id est, pigeon) to serve as an anvil to beat upon.
The most satisfying act she ever performed at that firm, came a year and a half into her employment. Her supervisor, Marta Brand (an amalgamation of Amazon and schoolteacher, and every bit the workplace sociopath) called her into the office to scold her for a misplaced memo; a minor affair over a quickly resolved office supply issue.
After delivering her admonishment (in the soft, patronizing, "concerned," "we-only-want-what-is-best-for-you" tone she always affected), Marta took out the write-up, Carla's third, all for trivial to nonexistent errors.
Carla took one look, left her chair, and walked out of the office, to the quizzical outrage of Marta, and out of CHB, feeling much better for the act.
She moved away from Minneapolis, back to IF, into her aunt's house. Her aunt, Florence Somby-Rose, managed to get her a job with a family friend, Don Brady, who ran a small law office downtown.
The job proved Paradiso to CHB's Inferno, and went a long way towards helping Carla recover.
Carla carried few items as she strode to her secret place. She'd stowed her bike safely off the trail, made sure she had nothing with her except a bottle of sunscreen, and a beach towel.
It was a beautiful day for a sunbath and swim. Late spring, slightly breezy, partly cloudy and 75 degrees.
"Perfect," thought Carla. The rock lay by the shore, a rock on which she'd lain many times as a child and teen.
Carla was under no illusions her "secret place" was such. It was just few people visited, as it was a way off the bike path.
She'd only stumbled upon it while exploring the shoreline, when she was ten. The beauty of the niche, the reeds, the flowers, the flat rock on which to sunbathe, easy access to the lake, and the nearby trees obscuring the area, entranced the young girl.
She immediately laid claim to it, and named it her secret place. It became her go to for refuge.
Here she could mourn, quietly, the deaths of her mother (cancer), and her father (stroke). The betrayal by, and subsequent breakup with, her best boyfriend, Terry Anders.
Her battles with Brenda Gunderson, her rival in romance and cheerleading (and with whom Terry cheated). The poignant farewells to her town and aunt before leaving for
Twin Cities
.
Others came to this place but rarely. Carla could expect a quiet afternoon.
She laid her blanket on the rock and pulled the sundress over her head. Underneath, she wore a lime green bikini, bought in Minneapolis with her first paycheck (which also paid for a Brazilian and electrolysis on her naughty spot), but never worn before now. Perfect for a late spring day by the lake.
She sat on the blanket, and started with the sunscreen.
A little sun and then a swim, then more sun. Maybe an all over if no one comes.
Carla was open, occasionally, to a bit of mischief.
Slut!
Minneapolis slammed into her brain, one of the unpleasant, and unexpected, memories that oozed in infrequently. Less so with time and distance, but a reminder of the mobbing she'd endured at CHB. It wasn't spoken to her face, but whispered behind her back, just barely enough for her ears.
It went away quickly, like a bad, brief shudder, and Carla dismissed it. Today, now, was her time. She wasn't going to let CHB ruin it. She'd been called slut before. Aunt Florence told her it was part of the curse of beauty.
