"The True power of Alene is the ability of Her followers to touch minds. Only those who have done this are considered Sisters of our order." Priestess Nissa explained "It is the most powerful spell we know. Of course, it is accomplished through love, more specifically sex. But we cannot begin with that, today you will begin a learning journey that will end there. For now, we will begin with the basics."
============
Sam held Jess' hand and soothingly rubbed it with her thumb.
"You can do it, focus." She reassured Jess.
Jess' frown only deepened, she was staring intently at the pea placed before her on the table.
"Geos" Jess whispered
Both of them stared at it expectantly, waiting for it to move. It did not.
Jess sighed with frustration.
"Ya make it look so easy..."
"Concentrate. " Sam squeezed her hand.
"Geos" Jess exclaimed more forcefully
The pea rolled to the side as if hit by a strong gust of wind and fell off the table.
"You did it!" Sam exclaimed, her excitement in no proportion with the motion of the pea.
Sam looked at the pea, intoned "Geos" under her breath, and willed it to ascend.
smoothly, it rose from the floor by an unseen force, and was returned to its place on the table. Sam swore she could feel a brief pulse of warmth through their joined hands.

"By touching the energy between you and one you have loved can flow more easily." Nissa had said "You will be able to channel this power without touch with practice, but for now we will make it easy..."
Sam had glanced at Jess, maybe she imagined it, but she thought she could feel a certain energy between them.
"Directing this power is simple. You must merely state what you want to happen, but it must be done in the goddess own language. Like so."
Nissa raised her hand and hissed "Geos" and the staff leapt to her hand, just like last time. "Geos, meaning 'move' in her language is very useful."
One of the girls in the back spoke up:
"How did you do it without speaking last time?" she asked.
"Thinking the word can be as effective as speaking it, but it requires practice, speaking of which..." Nissa grabbed the bag of peas from Her table
----
Jess looked at Sam still with astonishment.
"See it's so easy for you!" she complained.
As Sam reassured Jess and urged her to keep trying, she noticed around the room others were struggling too, except for a talented few, including Lily.
She seemed to be juggling three peas with Her mind, hands linked with a brown-haired girl who's name Sam didn't remember.
"Of course, she's good at it." Jess rolled her eyes. "I heard she's some kind of favourite of the high priestess, certain to become a priestess herself."
Sam turned back to Lily again and met her gaze directly. Lily wore a triumphant smile as she manipulated the peas, seeming to be showing off just for Sam. Sam quickly looked away.
Soon the lesson was over and Nissa sent them on their way, leaving them with parting wisdom; "It may seem that the first woman you love is the only one there is, but don't be naive. The goddess may fill us with lust for many of our sisters, and that gift should not be ignored."
The Hopefuls dutifully filed out to move on to their next chore.
The sisters assigning the hopefuls their duties were kind enough to allow them to choose who they worked with, so Sam and Jess were assigned to the kitchen together. With several sisters working there and supervising as they prepared the evening meal, they did not enjoy the same opportunities being alone in the storeroom afforded.
Once the meal was prepared and the two hopefuls completed the exhausting task of washing up, Jess as chipper as ever in the face of hard work, they were finally sent to the dormitory. En route Jess grabbed Sam's hand, and kissed her urgently. Sam returned it but broke it off.
"Stop... anyone could come by," she objected as Jess continued the kiss on her neck
"In here, this storeroom is empty" Jess urged, pulling Sam into an open doorway.
Empty shelves and a dusty smell filled the room. Jess shut the door and they embraced one another without a word pressing their lips together. Sam's hands were all over Jess, pulling her in closer as if Sam was trying to force Jess into her very body.
Sam could feel the need in Jess' kisses, in the way her hands clutched at Sam's shoulders. Jess pulled back enough to moan:
"Will you do it to me again?"
Sam's knees grew weak in anticipation of what Jess wanted her to do, and she felt a keen need between her legs. She nodded softly rejoining the kiss. Jess hands now pushed gently but steadily down on Sam's shoulders. Sam acquiesced and allowed herself to be pushed down onto her knees.
Her mouth and pussy seemed to moisten equally as she pulled down Jess panties and leggings under her tunic. Lifting Jess' tunic Sam got a good look this time at the vagina that had already claimed her mouth as its lover. Leaning forward Sam admired the gentle swell of the mons below Jess' bush and the plump labia so unlike her own and began to move closer. Apparently, Jess was at least as desirous as Sam, grabbing her head by both sides and moaning "yesssss..." as two different sets of lips met once again. Like before, Jess thighs pressed warmly on the side of Sam's head, but Sam took her time, tongue slowly roving back and forth. Jess whined with need above her, hands running through her hair, and forcing Sam's head firmly into her pussy. Sam once again began the more frantic rhythm and soon Jess was gasping for air as She passed the point of no return.
Afterwards, as Jess' thighs and hands slackened their grip Sam didn't pull away immediately, her tongue lazily swept round Jess' moist entrance, and Sam wondered if she could make Jess come again.
At that moment the door of the storeroom opened, and with some giggling two of the other hopefuls more or less fell in, in each other's arms. Sam recognised one of them as Catherine, one of the more gifted in magic classes.
For a beat the intruding pair did not notice the other, but as Sam pulled back to stand up and Jess frantically covered herself, they broke off the kiss they had begun.
