Vessala
"I can do it myself, mother," Vessala pouted as her mother carefully adjusted the ceremonial headdress over Vessala's straight black hair. The white feathers and gold thread of the adornment contrasted sharply with her coal colored skin.
"Everything needs to be perfect, dear," Mother responded. "Today is your big day."
Vessala paused. "Mother... must I visit the breeder? Not all do so on their eighteenth birthdays."
Her mother walked around to take her shoulders and look her in the eye. "You're an adult now, Ves. I can't force you if you don't want to. But, I would advise that you do it. This is your chance to prove to everyone that you're just like everyone else. That you're not..."
"Malesouled," Vessala finished bitterly.
Her mother's eyes blazed. "Someone called you malesouled? Who was it? I'll rip out their tongue!"
"No one. Everyone. It doesn't matter."
"Of course it matters. It's a filthy insult." The older woman bit her lip. "You know of the males?"
"Yes, mother," Vessala responded. "You taught me, remember? "There are two types of humans who walk the earth, the females and the males. We, the females embody all that is good and gentle, while the males embody wickedness and brutality. That is why no males are permitted in our Desert Sanctuary. Except the breeder, of course."
"Indeed." Her mother paused. "It is said that there are some who have the destructive souls of males but the bodies of females. They are called malesouled."
"What a silly superstition. But why would anyone think that I am such a thing?" Vessala asked.
Her mother paused. "Sit down, dear."
Vessala sat.
"You know how children are born in Desert Sanctuary?"
Vessala shrugged. "A woman visits the breeder to become pregnant. Nine months later, she births two children- one male and one female. The male child is sacrificed to the guardian goddess, and the female is raised by her mother. This is part of our pact with the guardian goddess."
"Yes. Ordinarily true. However, I never gave birth to a male child. You were born alone, Vessala. An oddity. There were whispers at the time, but none ever dared to openly call you a malesouled. But now... now there are other concerns."
"What other concerns?"
"The way your friends fawn over you. It's... unnatural."
Vessala crossed her arms. "I only used a little magic on them. All females can use magic."
"I know dear, but some would say that the way you ensnared their minds is the same as the way males enslave females in the outside world. Besides, your use of magic is another problem. Artura says you've completely surpassed her in skill."
"So what? I'm good at magic."
"Ves, you only started training under Artura last week and she's the best in Desert Sanctuary!"
Vessala smirked. "She was the best. Not anymore."
"This is serious," her mother insisted.
"Fine, mother," Vessala said. "The legends say that malesouled can't become pregnant, right? So I'll go see the breeder and put these rumors to rest forever."
Her mother smiled warmly. "You're going to love being a mother, dear. I know I have."
----------
An hour later, Vessala stood outside the breeder's cave at the top of Mount Sanctuary. Desert Sanctuary, the sacred home of her people, stretched out in all directions around the mountain. Beyond there was only dry, sandy desert. The springs of mount sanctuary were the only thing that made life in this arid place possible. Desert Sanctuary's remoteness protected it from the roaming bands of males that littered the rest of the desert.
Vessala glanced back toward the cave, realizing that she was merely stalling. She adjusted her headdress and stepped forward. Just then, a voice hailed her from the path below.
"Ho! Young Vessala! A moment!" It was elder Shaela, accompanied by Elder Jemim. The two approached Vessala. As elders their breasts were larger than those of any other women in the Sanctuary. Both women were in their sixties, although they looked only about forty thanks to the extra magic they were allowed to carry. Speaking of which...
"You were supposed to attend us this morning, Young One," said Elder Jemim.
"Why?" asked Vessala. In truth, she knew why.
"The elders glanced at each other, then back to Vessala. "Today is your eighteenth birthday is it not?" asked Shaela.
"Yes. And?"
"And you owe the council of elders a portion of your magic once you come of age," insisted Shaela. "Did your mother not tell you this?"
Of course she had. That didn't mean that Vessala was actually going to let these old bags take her magic. She would die first. "Why do I owe the council anything? My magic is my own."
Jemim sighed. "Young One, the council provides for the common good of all Desert Sanctuary. To do this we need extra magic."
"How exactly do you elders provide for the common good?"
"Well, for one, we keep the males out."
"But, do we really need to keep the males out?" Vessala asked. "I have heard that in the northern lands the males have been enslaved and are properly controlled by females."
Shaela chuckled. "I too have heard that tale. I've also heard that the northerners have skin as pale as the moon and breasts the size of large waterfruit. You shouldn't believe everything you hear, Young One."
Well to hell with it. "I don't believe you old bags need extra magic except to keep your faces from wrinkling and your breasts from sagging," she blurted.
The elders looked shocked. "Vessala," said Jemim carefully. "I am beginning to wonder if the rumors about you are true. Rudeness and problems with authority are traits often associated with the males."
"Do you dare imply what I think you're implying, you cunt?!"
"You CANNOT talk to us like that," Shaela insisted. "We're the Elders. You must do what we say. Now, remove your top. I shall appropriate the appropriate amount of magic from your breasts, as is my right as an Elder of Desert Sanctuary." She stepped forward.
"You will do no such thing." Vessala quickly spun two small, invisible and incredibly intricate webs of magic and placed them onto the heads of the elders. The webs sank through their skin and their skulls and settled upon their brains. The elders stopped in their tracks. The spell was a difficult one, and Vessala had never before met any other woman who knew how to do it. At first, it had taken her hours to spin such delicate and precise webs, but as she practiced on her friends, it had grown easier.
"We..." Shaela appeared puzzled, the spell working its magic on her mind. "We won't? You're right. Taking your magic would be entirely inappropriate."
Vessala smiled wickedly. Her spell was working. This kind of enthrallment spell was child's play for her, even though it was at least twenty times more complex than any spell she had ever seen anyone else perform. The women of Dessert Sanctuary were novices in the art of Feminine Magic compared to her. If she could just teach them her knowledge... But that was impossible, unfortunately, with these superstitious, power hungry old women barring her path. Well, these two would be under her thrall as long as she never lost her concentration. Time for some fun.
"Elder Shaela," she said sweetly. "This is my first time visiting the breeder, and I'm a little nervous. Would you please..." Vessala pulled up her skirt to bare her pussy. "...help me prepare? With your mouth, please."
The enthrallment spell easily bent Shaela to Vessala's will. "Yes of course, young one," The elder replied, kneeling on the ground before her. Vessala gasped as she felt the older woman's tongue brush against her clit. Vessala grasped the back of the woman's head with her hands, pushing her deeper into the junction of her legs, relishing her power.
"This seems... odd..." muttered Elder Jemim, enthralled brain unable to process the sight of her esteemed colleague kneeling in the dirt before the young Vessala, eating her with what appeared to be genuine desire. Without an order to follow her mind was trying to reject Vessala's control.
Best to give her an order, then. "Elder Jamim," Vessala said. "My feet have become dirty as I climbed this mountain. Please clean them with your mouth,"
"Very well," said Jamim, finding this request completely reasonable thanks to Vessala's mind control. She too knelt in the dirt, bending to lick Vessala's toes.
Vessala sighed contentedly, looking out over Desert Sanctuary, an oasis of feminine goodness in the middle of a sea of dunes crawling with male tribes. Unlike the Elders, she did not believe Desert Sanctuary was not meant to be merely a haven for feminine peace, it was meant to be a beacon of light, an example for all the world. Vessala knew it was her destiny to lead the people of sanctuary into that future. Once her child was born, she would begin. Wielding magic was impossible while pregnant with a male child, after all.
Shaela's tongue was beginning to bring her pleasure to a head. Vessala gripped the woman's dark hair and pressed her further into her own muff, softly crying out as she gushed sticky fluid all over the Elder's face.
After a few moments, she pushed her new servants away. The mind control spell would last only until she allowed her concentration to lapse, but she could easily force the elders to forget anything... unseemly. She thought for a moment and eventually decided to leave them in thrall for now. It would be good to have someone to greet her when she emerged from the cave, pregnant.
