Sir was leading me through the forest. I had spent the night at the Stable; Riley, Farrah, Simone and I had all spent the night sleeping in a big pile. Their bodies were so warm and comfortable. When Sir came into the Stable and called my name, I bounded for him and turned around so he could tie my arms up. I bent and lifted as he covered me in that strange cream that kept me warm in the elements. I kept quiet as he spoke to the receptionist, looking down to signify I was being good. And now we were walking down the path, as we had many times before.
And that's when I realised: I was now a well-trained puppy. It felt good! It felt nice that the world had become simple. There were just a few things I had to do. It was the
fairness
of the situation that I liked about it. Sir would do no more or less than he promised. He wouldn't make up new rules the way Farrah did. He wouldn't push me past my limits unless I kept acting up. As long as I was a good girl, I would not get any more than I deserved.
As I was thinking about this, we came out onto a vista. I gasped when I saw the city laid out in front of me in a massive valley. It was a city of glittering white, with massive walls surrounding it. I could see the people moving through the streets - and carts, and taxis. I could see the market district, and the business district.
I wondered how they would react to a well-trained naked woman.
Sir led me down the mountain. It took us some time, and I was awed by how tall the walls were; they just kept getting bigger and bigger as we approached. It was intimidating to approach something like this naked - I already felt small and weak, and these walls left me feeling even more insignificant.
Our path joined up with a massive road that was filled with traffic. We passed a few men and women riding horses; they looked at me with amusement, with one woman blowing me a kiss. We also saw carriages carrying whole families, which led to the image of a bunch of faces poking out to watch me.
I'm sure that, even having accepted my role as an ENF, my face was red.
We came up to the wall. There was a massive portcullis lifted up to allow traffic in.
"Halt, Catcher!" cried a voice. "Go towards the office to your left, that you may properly register."
"Understood and well met, friend!" cried out Sir. He led me to the side where there was a much smaller portcullis. When it lifted, I saw a large, walled-in area, obviously separate from the rest of the city. There was a building to our lift and a set of stables to our right - horse stables, not a stable for me. Sir climbed off his horse and handed the reins to a young man who took it to the stables. He pulled me into the building.
It was a large room filled with desks and people working at them. They were writing at them with high speed. One of them looked up at us.
"Ah, Catcher. You must have been sent through to us."
"Indeed I was," said Sir.
"It's nice to see a naked woman in these parts," said the man, smiling at me. "But I must ask you to hitch her up out that door. How tall is she?"
