Wyndi was surprised that she could remember everything when she came to. She remembered that she was undergoing her trials to become a knight, she remembered this was all to determine her order and caste, she remembered this was her fourth trial, and she remembered the other three that came before...
That last part made her blush. In fact, she was still coming down from that last one. Her thoughts still felt a bit syrupy and her pu-
lady spot
was still agonizingly achy and molten. Wyndi sighed, pushing the sensation towards the back of her mind and tried to catch her bearings... Or, well, she gave a very good attempt at doing so.
She found herself in a... city. It wasn't one she recognized, but that wasn't saying much, Wyndi effectively grew up behind the walls of Fort Dawnlight and hadn't ever really
been
to a city before. The closest thing she got was Brassbell, and that place barely even counted as a town.
So, naturally, Wyndi gawked a bit. Everything was so
big
! And the streets were made of
actual
stone instead of worn dirt! And the
people
! She'd never seen so many people in all her life in total and here there were more walking down a network of busy streets in a motley of colors, styles, and... genders...
Wyndi frowned at that last thought. She felt as if her mind was insisting upon it but it felt... uncomfortable. Jagged. Like a puzzle piece that only
kind of
worked being forced into an empty slot. The more she tried to focus on the people around her, the more she was sure they were all women and... and like she couldn't really comprehend their faces, that they just became a blur that her brain refused to register. She also couldn't shake that same sensation of awkward familiarity when she looked at them.
You're thinking about this too hard,
the thought popped into Wyndi's head.
It's a trial, weird things are gonna happen, Wyn.
Wyndi sighed and nodded to herself at the logic. The exact elements of the trial weren't important, just that she figured out what she was supposed to do in it... Not that her track record had been so good thus far. Besides, thinking about the actual mechanics of it all hurt her ditzy little brain. She wasn't meant to-
She growled and forced
that
line of thinking to puff into mist as she began to get a move on down the street. She would
not
fall into the habit of just
accepting
what the trials were doing to her. Sure, they had their effects and she recognized that, but that didn't mean she had to just take them lying down. And she could start by figuring out what the hell she was here for.
Wyndi came to a stop as she caught her reflection in a shop window. She was wearing a brown uniform with a buttoned shirt she had tied off just below her breasts and a pair of shorts that barely reached mid-thigh. Around her waist was a belt with rolled-up parchments, envelopes, letters, and other written items. The outfit was pretty cute, actually, and Wyndi couldn't help but lean into the reflective glass to get a better look as she re-adjusted her ponytail.
A courier,
she realized.
I'm dressed like a courier
. So... she was meant to deliver things? That seemed easy enough. Wyndi grabbed at one of the parcels around her waist and looked at the address inscribed on it. She expected herself to be confused and have no idea where that was, but instead she was surprised to find that she knew exactly where it was in this city. Strange.
As Wyndi began heading that direction, she mused a bit more. Each trial had done plenty to mess with her head. They all gave her new memories and thoughts to grapple with, and this one clearly did that too. But why did it let her remember
everything
this time? That seemed... cou... count... counterin...
Counterintuitive
.
Her brain throbbed trying to force the right word into existence. It was like her very
being
was trying to force her to accept simple thoughts were better thoughts. That just made Wyndi grumble in annoyance and-
"Hey, you! Why don't you strut your way over here, babe?" said a purring, yet firm voice. As distracted as she was, Wyndi didn't realize she'd heedlessly listened and wandered over to the alleyway she'd heard the call without bothering to even look up. And when she did, her breath caught and her heartbeat quickened.
Standing before her, was a beautiful young woman with snow-white hair. For a moment, despite being able to register her gorgeous face and features, Wyndi once again felt that strange sense of almost-recognition, but that was quickly snuffed out as her eyes drifted lower and she saw the dress that the woman was wearing.
The neckline was low--plunging, in fact--with a corset that hugged her waist and accentuated her tits and ass. It was slitted along the sides from the hem to her hips, revealing long and milky bare legs. Wyndi found herself unable to look away as the woman ran a delicate hand along her stomach and up her chest. It was only then that Wyndi realized she'd been summoned over by a street whore. And she had
listened
.
"Um, hi," was all Wyndi could think to say.
Whore's lips curved up into a mischievous smile. "Hello there. You seem... a bit frazzled."
Wyndi gulped. "Um, yes- I-I mean, yeah. Busy and all." She felt stupid with all her stuttering and stumbling. It was just a
woman
. A really, really, hot woman whose pillowy tits jiggled ever-so-lightly and prettily and she coquettishly laughed at Wyndi's response.
"And maybe a bit stressed too?" Wyndi nodded. "Well, I'm quite good at alleviating those things with my services."
It was then that Wyndi came back to herself and she remembered what she was actually supposed to be doing. "Um, actually... I'm sorry, but I really need to go deliver these messages. Couriers never rest and all." She tried a weak laugh. Whore just tilted her head.
"Oh? Then why did you come over?"
"Well... you called me over."
"And why did you listen?" She smiled as began to run a flirty hand of Wyndi's bare stomach, playing with her belly-button. Wyndi reached up to brush her away, but hesitated. It felt nice and she was about to leave anyway, so what was the harm?
"Surely you busy, busy couriers can spare a few minutes to enjoy yourselves?" Whore fluttered her eyelashes and Wyndi couldn't help but blush and look away.
"Um..." she said, then let out a slight squeak as the hand on her stomach lowered, hooked itself around her belt and pulled her in closer.
"Oh, you're an adorable one, and soooo pretty too~"
Wyndi nodded in uncertainty. "U-um, thanks, but I really need to get going."
"Just
relax
, babes. Those letters aren't going anywhere. Enjoy yourself for a bit, hm?"
Wyndi breathed heavily. Whore smelt sweet. Very sweet. That perfume was... Wyndi couldn't put a finger on it. All she could focus on was the pretty woman standing uncomfortably, wonderfully close to her and the insistent throbbing in her loins that had yet to lessen since her first trial. She could stay for a little bit, right? Just enough to take the edge off.
No
, she forced herself to think. She had a duty to do and Wyndi wasn't going to let
any
distracts keep her from doing this trial right.
"I'm really sorry, but I have to go," she said firmly.
Whore gave a sad smile that almost made Wyndi change her mind. "Of course, darling, of course. Oh, and I just
love
your little uniform, by the way."
Wyndi couldn't help but smile. "Thank you! But I see what you're d-"
