A New Day

Your mind slowly surfaces from your deep sleep, your body feeling well rested and rejuvenated. You push yourself up into sitting, and look around the room. Evie is still sleeping deeply on the sofa just across from you, the small girl’s face relaxed and peaceful.

You slowly stand up, and stretch out your stiff muscles. You roll your shoulders, loosening off the joint as you look around the room. You have a great view of the empty pool and most of the rest of the building from here, and luckily you see no signs of intrusion.

A sudden worrying thought occurs to you, what if demons tried to get in through ventilation shafts and other such smaller weak points? You really need to do something about them or it might cost you very dearly. Searching for each weak point separately would take much too long to do, you need some powerful wards in place.

You focus your mind, gathering your magic, and begin to create the magical barrier. Almost instantly the spell flickers and fails, your magic depleted to almost nothing. You swear to yourself, remembering the massive amounts of magic you expended during the night to create the defensive constructs. Obviously you are going to need to replenish your magical stores before you can attempt the spell again.

You look over at Evie, your source of sex fuelled magical energy, taking note of her relaxed and unworried features. You decide it is probably a good idea to let the exhausted girl sleep a while longer before you try to restock on magic, she could really do with a long sleep.
