Who do you hypnotize into being your servant?
A cute young half elven girl
You walk through the streets and see nary a person. The few people you do see are ugly drunks who are either asleep or too intoxicated to be of any use.
But then something unusual catches your eye. Something that doesn’t seem to belong in this ugly side of the city. You spin to get a better look, and see a young girl. She’s got long black hair with a few traces of light blue mixed in it.
Blue is not a natural human hair color, but for it to be a combination of two colors might imply she’s a half breed of something. A half elf perhaps?
You decide to follow this girl. When she’s all alone, you’ll use the Winter Lotus’s eyes on her, and she’ll be yours.
Before you manage to do so, you see a man step out of an alley. He grabs the girl by her arm and pulls her into the small dark street.
You hasten to the corner and silently take a peek inside.
The girl was being held with her back against a wall. In front of her stood the guy who pulled her in, as well as a woman. Both seemed to be in their thirties.
“Come on, Aela. Time to pay up.” The woman said.
“I’m sorry, I need more time.” The girl with the black-blue hair replied.
“You say that every time.” The guy returned.
“Business is slow. Money isn’t coming in so fast. Just give me another week, I swear I’ll have it then.”
You could hear the fear in the girl’s voice. She is clearly begging them.
“That’s what you said last week, Aela.” The woman replies. “And the week before that. If this keeps up, I’m afraid we won’t be able to protect you any longer.”
You’ve heard enough. This is a shakedown, pure and simple and you’ve no intention of letting this continue.
You step into the alleyway and say, “Hey, you two. Would you mind leaving this girl alone.”
The man looks at you and replies, “This ain’t your business, lady. Piss off.”
“I know extortion when I see it.” You retort, “and I’ve no interest in seeing this continue, so I will make it my business.”
The man steps towards you menacingly and says “Oh really? You wanna make something of it?”
Then you pull the sword of Saint Magdalena and say “Yes, I do.”
Once the man sees you’ve got a sword, he starts to back down. Clearly he had not anticipated you being armed.
The woman he is with grabs him by the shoulder and says, “Aela’s got the message, we’ve done what we came here to do.”
“Yeah,” The man replies. “You’re lucky we’re done here. Otherwise that pretty face of yours would’ve received some nice black spots from me.”
Then he and the woman walked off. Silly man, nothing but bluster.
As they walk away, the girl drops to her knees and starts crying. You get to the girl and say, “It’s all right, they are gone now.” With a gentle voice.
“They … they would’ve … hurt me.” She says between her tears. “If you … hadn’t come … then I …”
The poor girl is totally upset. So much so you feared that with her eyes so full of tears, it might interfere with the goddess’s eyes. Dammit, how will you place your dominance over this girl now?
Then you got an idea. It’s something Keyla said earlier about the Burning Rose being connected with flames. It is true you could not use your connection to this goddess to summon fire, but maybe you could use her to heat up your body.
You make a prayer to the Burning Rose and ask her for some heat. In your mind, you see the goddess like you’ve had many times before. A beautiful red-haired woman with voluptuous curves. Wire burns around her, without causing harm and her hair flows down her shoulders, wild and unkempt.
As you look upon her, you can feel your body warm up. You skin tingles as it assumes normal human temperature, though your heart remains still.
Just as you are about to end your prayer, you see something behind the Burning Rose. It another woman, pale skin and white hair. You recognize her as the Winter Lotus, the other goddess you are now sworn to.
The Winter Lotus sneaks up behind the Burning Rose and wraps her arms around her. She placed her hands on the Burning Rose’s belly and gives her a small hug. It seems like a harmless action, but then you notice the flames around the Burning Rose decrease in size. They shrink until they are only half as big. Then the Winter Lotus lets go and disappears into the darkness again, with the Burning Rose seemingly unaware of what has happened.
You come back to the alley, a little more confused than you planned. That was, a very weird thing you just saw. What could it mean?
Suddenly you feel your hand being grabbed. The girl seems to have stopped crying and has placed her hand in your own.
“Thank you so much.” She says. “I am so grateful, miss.”
The girl isn’t spooked about touching you. You feel just as warm as any other human. This is going to be a very useful ability.
“I’m just glad I could help.” You say. “They called you Aela, is that your name?”
“Yes, I am Aela.” The girl replies. “Please, I am so scared. Could you help me get home?”
By the goddesses, this is easier than candy from a baby.
“Aela, look into my eyes.” You say.
The girl wipes away a few tears, then looks into your blue eyes. When she does, your irises turn red and you say “Let me and my friend stay over at your place.”
Aela stares blankly in front of her and repeats “Stay over.”
Great, you’ve got her. Now all you have to do is collect Keyla and head for Aela’s house.
Does anyone else live at Aela’s place?
