Madam Jax walked into the classroom, her long red robe flowing behind her. The students in the room stopped what they were doing and gave her their attention. She wasn't the normal professor, and confusion was evident on the faces of many of the students.
"Good morning class. I am Madame Jax, and I'll be teaching the class today." Madam Jax reached the teacher's desk in the corner of the room and placed her bag on it. She pulled a rolled-up parchment from the bag and read it. "This is Advanced Lycan Sociology, correct?"
"Yes, Madam," one of the students answered, nodding his head. "May I ask what happened to Madam Lee?"
Taking off her red wide-brimmed hat and placing it on the desk next to her bag, Madam Jax shook out her dark curls. "Madam Lee got called away on important university business. You know how it is around here," she said, a smirk on her face.
"So does that mean we won't have a lesson today?" a female student in the back of the class asked.
"Yes, there will be a lesson. In fact, Madam Lee left the proper spell with me so that you can see the subject you've been studying recently." Madam Jax stepped to the front of the room and started pulling on a rope, lifting a heavy curtain and revealing a large mirror.
"Now, before we begin, class, what can you tell me about the subject you've been studying?"
"She's a Lycan, getting ready for her first hunt," a dark-skinned woman sitting in the middle of the class piped up.
"And what's so important about The Hunt?" Madam Jax asked the class.
"It's important because The Hunt is how the lycans procreate," the same dark-skinned woman answered.
"And why is it important to their procreation?"
"Since lycanthropy is only found in a small percentage of females, they go out and hunt men to procreate with."
"Very good. What else can anyone tell me?"
"The Lycans only hunt in their territory," a male student at the front of the class said.
"The first hunt is an important rite of passage," another student added.
"Yes, it is. Every society has rituals and rites that help build a community. These rites are part of what becomes a society's identity," Madam Jax said. A pulsing tone started emanating from the mirror. "Okay class, that's the signal that it's time to begin. You're fortunate because this seeing will be happening live, so I hope you all are comfortable."
Madame Jax stepped up to the mirror and held up her hands. "Ahs too keh seh mwah montray." The surface of the mirror began to waver until an image came into focus.

Riva sat in a comfortable chair in the main room of her family's cottage home. Barefoot and clad only in her brown robe, she impatiently fidgeted with her dark-brown curls, while her three younger sisters sat in a circle on the floor, playing a card game.
"C'mon, y'all!! It's gonna start soon!" she called out.
"We're coming!" came a response from one of the bedrooms. A few moments later, three other women walked out into the main room. Jenna, Riva's mother, and Carla, Riva's sister, were also barefoot in robes. They were accompanied by Ella, Jenna's mother and the elder of the family.
Ella walked over to Riva and kissed her granddaughter on the forehead. "Good luck with your first Hunt, Riva."
"Thank you, grandmother. I hope to do you proud," Riva responded, smiling at the elder of the family and giving her a warm embrace.
"I know you'll do fine, especially with your mother and sister out there too."
"Okay, let's go," Jenna chimed in, her voice having a naturally low, sultry tone. Opening the front door of the home. Jenna gestured for Riva and Carla to follow her. The three of them exited the cottage, leaving Ella behind to watch the two youngest girls of the family.
Riva walked slightly ahead of her mother and sister, excitement spurring her on. Riva had been getting ready for this night, her first Hunt, ever since she turned eighteen, two months ago. The Hunt was done once a season, and she was eager to finally experience the ritual.
The three women arrived in the village square, already filled with a couple of dozen more women, all of them wearing brown robes. They were standing around and talking amongst themselves. Although there was excitement in the air, none of the other women seemed to be as anxious as Riva found herself to be.
After a few minutes, another woman was seen walking towards the group, wearing a red robe and carrying a white porcelain bucket with runes painted around it in black. The murmuring of the group died down as this woman approached the crowd, and they all formed a semi-circle around the new arrival.
"Greetings, ladies."
"Greetings, Priestess," the women replied in unison.
"Tonight is a good night for a hunt, is it not?" She asked. There were a few nods and murmurs in response. "The sky has few clouds and the moon is bright. This is a blessed night. Now, let us begin." The priestess pointed to Riva. "Step forward, my child."
Riva nervously stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of the priestess. The older woman placed her hands on Riva's shoulders and turned her to face the crowd of women.
"This young sister here is about to embark on her first hunt. All of us here, I'm sure, have fond memories of our first time. Let us welcome our sister Riva into the pack, as she begins this night, the first of hopefully many times she joins us in our tradition."
The women in the town square all threw their heads back and gave a collective howl. This simultaneously sent a chill down Riva's spine and put a smile on her face. The priestess turned Riva back around so they were facing each other again.
"Take off your robe, Sister Riva." Riva obeyed, shrugging off her robe and letting it fall to the floor. The cool night air instantly made her exposed nipples hard and caused goose pimples to appear all over her dark mahogany skin. If not for the fact that her mons was covered by a sizeable bush, her clitoris would've been very prominent. The priestess reached down and dipped her fingers in the bucket, covering them in the rose oil. The priestess then touched her fingers to Riva's forehead, before placing a spot of oil on each of the young woman's breasts, and then ending with anointing the flesh between her navel and womanhood. "Good hunting, Sister Riva," she said, kissing Riva on both cheeks.
"Thank you, Priestess Isra," Riva responded, giving a slight bow. She then turned and walked back into the group.
One by one, the women in the square stepped up to disrobe and get anointed by the priestess. Riva marveled at the variety of women in the group. There were women of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Even Riva and her sister had very different skin tones. While Riva's dark skin was closer to their mother's, Carla's had fair skin, owing to their different sires. They both shared the golden eyes of their mother, though.
It didn't take long before the participating women were all naked and anointed, their discarded robes in a pile. Priestess Isra shrugged off her red robe and added it to the pile. She leaned down to dip her fingers in the oil once again but stopped, her head cocked slightly to the side quizzically. The priestess stood back up and looked at Riva. "Come here, young one," she said, waving Riva forward again.
"Did I do something wrong, Priestess?" Riva asked apprehension in her voice.
"No, Sister Riva, you've done nothing wrong. In fact, I'm about to ask you to do something very special. I want you to anoint me." This statement caused surprised murmurs in the gathered crowd.
"Are you sure, Priestess?" Riva inquired.
"Yes, Sister Riva, I'm sure. The Goddess has spoken to me. And when She talks, I make it a point to listen." Isra gave Riva a reassuring smile. "It kinda goes with the job."
Riva nodded before dipping her fingers into the container of oil. Mimicking what Priestess Isra did to the other women, Riva put a spot of oil first on Isra's forehead, then one on each of her firm breasts, and then finally a spot right above her pubic area. "Good hunting, Priestess Isra," she said, giving the older woman kisses on both cheeks.
