Indriana sat in a large, ornately decorated chair with a high winged back. It was covered in a fine plush red material and had wide comfortable arms. The room was dimly lit, and shadows cast by candlelight obscured the corners of the room and revealed only the large bed in the center. A mirror on the wall at the head of the bed reflected the weak light and made the room seem brighter than it really was. Outside the room floorboards creaked as persons walked by, the sounds of doors opening and closing alternately ushering in and then taking away pairs of feet and their owners. A small bell chimed three times and Indriana arose from her chair and turned toward the door.
She plucked a small vial from the top drawer of her dresser and said a prayer to her goddess. "Allorn hear my prayer tonight, protect me in your loving sight, true belief favors right, keep me healthy and free of child this night." And with that, she upended the vial and swallowed the contents, noting as always the pleasant taste of vanilla and one other item that no one could ever name. Wrapped in a curve hugging dress that was nearly transparent, Indiana exited her room and bounded down the stairs, eager to join the other women in the foyer.
At the bottom of the stairs Indriana found herself sixth in line. Though she herself was raven haired, others were blond, red haired and brunette. All were well proportioned, some with larger breasts and some, like Indriana, with very average sized assets. The size of said assets did not have a large effect on the overall number of customers that selected her, though the larger breasted girls did think they had an edge. "Indriana," Morgan the house madam called, "Step forward."
There were no scowls or looks of disappointment on the other girls' faces as the black haired beauty stepped out of line, clearly the selection of the cowled figure standing just inside the door and next to Morgan. The cowled figure nodded once, and Morgan said, "Back to your rooms now."
Indriana reached out for the cowled figure, but he did not offer an arm or hand. She turned toward the stairs, "Follow me please."
She led her quiet and mysterious caller up the stairs and into her room. Once inside and the door shut, Indriana said not a word as she faced her customer, pulled the sash from about her waist and shrugged the dress to the floor with a practiced flair. She then climbed onto the bed, displaying her shapely ass and flared pussy for his benefit. Even without checking she knew she was wet and ready for him. She turned and sat on the bed, spreading her legs to give him a good view of her inflamed pussy as she started to finger herself. "I am ready when you are, good sir. Please don't make me wait. Or beg."
A chuckle came from under the cowl, and it was not the laugh of a man. Indriana stopped her hand, not embarrassed so much as surprised. "I've not been with many ladies, but I am certain I can please you," she said.
Delicate hands emerged from the cloak and pushed the cowl back to reveal a beautiful woman. Indriana guessed her age at no more than thirty summers, for there were no lines on her face and her features were perfect. Her lustrous red hair was in a ponytail, probably to keep it hidden under her cowl. The woman unbuttoned her cloak, and with casual ease shrugged it to the floor. Underneath she was wearing a shimmering blue dress, one looking as if made from silk and clinging to every part of her body. Indriana found her eyes drawn to the woman's chest and the largest and most beautiful breasts she had ever seen. Somehow the dress exposed more of those remarkable breasts than it covered, and yet it still remained in place. Indriana moved to a kneeling position on the bed, still watching the other woman.
"Indriana?"
"Yes, miss. I am Indriana."
"Do you recognize me?"
The young woman regarded her client, and then both her eyebrows shot up and her mouth dropped open as she recognized the High Priestess of the Temple of Allorn. She made the sign of the god, touching both index fingers to her nose then crossing her hands to place her fingertips on her nipples then crossing them back to their respective nipples to complete the triangle, and whispered, "Forgive me, Mother," using the woman's formal title.
Another chuckle. "Nonsense child. Look at me." When the younger woman did so, she said, "Will you find it easier to speak to me if you put on some clothes?" Indriana shook her head slowly.
The High Priestess sat in the high-backed chair and ran her fingertips over the arms. "My name is Tessa. Would you like to know why I am here?"
"Yes, Mother."
"Quit being so formal. I told you my name so you would use it."
"Yes, Tessa."
"Better. Rumor has it that you enjoy your work more than any other in the city. Would you say that is true?"
"Tessa, I hardly know what everyone else in the city thinks."
"Don't fence with me. You know what I am asking you."
"Yes, Mother."
"
Yes, Tessa
. And what do you mean by yes?"
"I mean that yes, I enjoy myself immensely."
"It is unlikely you would have that reputation if you were simply an accomplished actress, but for what I would propose I must be certain." Tessa stood and put her face an inch from Indriana's, the look on her face was serious. "Word has just reached me of a terrible tragedy in Korath. An earthquake has injured more than a third of the city's people, and the Temple of Allorn was severely damaged. The Temple's store of the elixir will be gone within a few days as the demand for its healing power quickly depletes their supply. It is worse still because they cannot provide more. We are the nearest Temple." Tessa looked into Indriana's eyes, "Will you aid the god?"
Indriana nodded. "Yes, Mother. But I have no idea what I can do to help."
"You will understand soon enough," Tessa said, smiling. "Come to the Temple in one hour. Tell no one where you are going."
"What of my pay for tonight?"
"I have already secured your services for the evening."
Indriana bowed, "Yes, Mother."
Tessa donned her cloak and once again hid herself fully under the cowl. Without any more words she opened the door and left the room, leaving Indriana nude on the bed and alone with her thoughts.
-----
An hour later a cloaked Indriana walked into the Temple of Allorn. As she passed through the entryway, she made the sign of the 'A' and bowed shortly. A young woman dressed in white robes seized her by the arm and led her inside at once. Down a staircase, through a door, then another staircase and then through several more turns they went. Indriana lost track of her way, and then, suddenly, she was in a room with a beautiful, and nude, woman.
"Hello, Mother."
"Your memory is faulty for one so young."
"My apologies. Hello, Tessa."
Indriana noticed that Tessa's nipples were pierced, something she had only rarely seen. The High Priestess walked over to her and handed her a glass filled with a red liquid. Indriana took a sniff and identified it as wine. "I probably should have dressed, but most of my time in the Temple is spent out of sight, so why bother with clothes. Please, get comfortable and have a seat. We have much to discuss tonight." Tessa took another glass of wine and sat in a chair.
Indriana set her glass down, dropped her cloak and sat in another chair, facing the Priestess. Indriana's breasts stood out, also unfettered by clothes. Tessa said, "Hmmm, what made you dress, or rather not dress, like this?"
Indriana shrugged, "This was how I was dressed the first time we met. It seemed appropriate for the second."
Tessa raised an eyebrow, "Indeed. I am more certain than ever I have chosen well."
"Chosen for what, exactly? How am I to help Korath?"
"We will get to that soon enough. Your wine contains a simple potion. Please drink it all now."
Indriana did not hesitate. She downed the rest of the wine in rapid swallows. Tessa nodded her approval. "Until about noon tomorrow, if you say the word 'no' at anytime, anything that may be happening to you will stop at once, and you will forget everything from the last three or four days. You will awaken back in your house safe and sound. Do you understand?" Indriana nodded. "Then remember to pause before speaking, for if you say the word, there will be no returning." Indriana nodded twice, quickly.
"Allorn asks you to serve as a High Priestess. But before you answer, and before I give you a chance to act on your answer, there are a few things you need to know."
Indriana spied the bottle of wine and rose to get herself another glass. "May I?"
"Only if you refill mine as well."
Done and done, Indriana sat in her chair, leaning forward and paying close attention to Tessa.
