The Gathering
Escape
We come to the main floor of the Hla'ath home and see Belar, Shynta and Mica all gathered near the stairs on the balcony that overlooked the area where Henri had been training.
As Belar came to those stairs she saw Shynta and Mica talking. Mentally preparing for trouble she approached her eldest sister.
As she neared Shynta asked wanting to confirm her plan, "Are you really going to submit to him?"
Belar smirked wanting to rub it in and said, "Of course, this will be interesting. If I remember correctly you both enjoyed his gifts, well his ability to take your abuse."
Remembering what Henri said about priestess robes she turns to Mica she says, "You know he asked me to come in priestess robes but I don't have any, are yours available?"
Mica put on a fake look of disgust and said faking her disdain, "Sure, you will wash the smell out them from that animal before giving my robe back. Make sure you don't catch from this human, you know what will happen to half-breeds."
Shynta enjoying the fact that she had done something her promiscuous sister hadn't and said, "He is very filling and he has a sweet ass. Why didn't you partake in it like last time?"
Belar knew Mica was baiting her but was still left in the dark about what Shynta had done and said, "I enjoy males too much I'm afraid, and that male has more than enough to keep me happy, for now.
Besides, this is a chance to learn how humans mate, Alak said that they have a male dominant society so I can learn a few things about that by submitting, and who knows maybe he will teach me a few other things.
Mica, you are just afraid of what that half-breed would be able to do with my mind and his physical traits our child would make a strong male and a threat as a female, especially if she has magical skills."
Mica offered faking resignation, "If you are that dead set on doing this come to my room and I will lend you one of my robes."
As Belar walked off, wondering what her sisters were plotting.
Mica turned to her sister with a wolfish grin and said, "Bring what you want to my room and I will get the masking agent."
They both left and went to their separate rooms, Shynta got the powerful fertility draught and Mica got the masking agent and had some very good mushroom wine brought up to her room.
When they met back up Mica said stating what they both knew to be true, "You know she will take a preventive potion before going down to him."
Shynta replied reviling in the fact that Belar would soon be in her study as she experimented on her and Henri's child, "That is why I have our most powerful draught to override the effects."
Mica poured two glasses, handed one to her sister taking a sip to prove she had done nothing to it and said, "That is why I have this wine it has a strong taste and will help the masking agent even more."
Seeing her sister drinking from her own cup Shynta smelled her wine and sipped it carefully, knowing that the strong wine could also hide a powerful poison, she tasted none and drank up the tasty wine.
Belar had everything she would need, she looked at her preventive potion and decided she wouldn't need it, her time wasn't right to catch for at least another week so she dressed and headed over to Mica's room.
When she entered she saw Shynta there as well and instantly knew they were up to something, she slid her right hand closer to the robe she was wearing, which had a dagger sown into the left sleeve, just in case.
Mica handed Belar her robe and a glass of spiked wine and said nothing not knowing if this plan would work but knew if it did she would be rid of 4 sisters.
With Shynta gone her middle sisters which had fallen prey to Shynta's magic, would fall easily because of all of Shynta's toying to their abilities.
With Belar pregnant she could kill Shynta while she experimented on the pregnant Belar.
A pregnant Belar offer her many options, she could wait and keep Belar safe using the half-breed as a hidden pawn, or she could turn Belar and the child over to the cloister where they would do what Shynta was going to do, this option would gain her prestige in the eyes of her higher ups.
She wanted to keep Belar off balance and said, "Here, we were just discussing how much longer it would take to break the human. So, don't ruin our fun while you are having yours."
Belar sniffed the glass and sipped it, she couldn't taste the draught and drank greedily, as she had a weak spot for wine and Alak had brought her some of the surface wines, which she had requested, she savored the variety of flavors wishing she could go to the surface and try them all.
After a few minutes of listening to Shynta go on about their mother's attempts to secure a consort at the next ball, the mundane things Zilvra hated and Belar could care less about, she changed into Mica's robes and left heading to see Henri.
She excused the guard on watch, after a lengthy beating for refusing to follow her orders. She went to put up wards to keep people from prying, when she felt Zilvra's overwhelmingly powerful ward still up. With a shake of her head at the power her little sister displayed with virtually no effort and she headed to the cell where Henri was being kept.
She unlocked his cell, walked in with a big smile wondering what he had in store for her, and said playfully, "I am here to submit and I brought the robe but not the whip as asked. What would you like to do to me?"
That was the question I wanted answered, what exactly did I want from her? I mean she is sexy and I could, hell I have been forced to with Shynta. No, that would be playing into her hands and have to keep in mind that this is a game to her, the difference here is that I am making the rules for once.
It dawned on me what is the one thing that they don't seem to do and that is when it hit me.
I said trying to hide my smirk as my plan unfolded, "Nothing, I want you to do absolutely nothing."
She asked annoyed thinking he was going to tease her as pay back, "Then why am I here?"
I said not sure how this would play out in the long run but I have been that deep of a thinker, "To learn, what a man can do without being beaten, threated or worrying about if their partner will kill them.
You're going to learn how a person you care about is supposed to be treated.
