Cast the Blessing of Aegle

A spell that will grant you a long and healthy life and prevent all diseases is a no-brainer. It looks like you can cast it on both yourself and Abbie. You’d like to cast it on Mom, too, but that would require messing with her mind, which doesn’t sound like a great idea.

The ingredients are just a few herbs that you’re pretty sure your mother has in her spice rack in the kitchen. You can’t think of any excuse you could give Mom for rummaging through her spices, so it’s best if you wait until after she’s asleep.

To kill time, you search ‘punishment for bdsm ****’ online. You get a huge number of hits and start reading through the various tips on websites and blogs. You come across some ideas that sound like they could be fun. You also find some articles and blogs that are less about sexy fun punishments and more about how punishment can be used to establish authority, as a reminder to help correct unwanted or unhealthy behavior, or to help a submissive cope with feelings of failure after disappointing a dominant. You think you should probably look into the Master/**** relationship dynamic more, sometime soon. After all, you’re in that dynamic now, whether you intended to be or not.

Following links also takes you to plenty of ads for sex toys and bondage gear, and also to BDSM porn. Spending time looking at that makes the time fly by. Before you know it, your mother knocks on your door. You hide the browser window with the porn you were watching, showing a document with unfinished homework you always keep up behind your porn in case you get interrupted. Your mom leans her head into your room. “Good night, Honey,” she says, “I’m heading to bed. It’s almost eleven; you shouldn’t stay up too late.”

You nod back to her. “OK. I’ll be done here soon. Might just grab a snack before I go to bed,” you add, to cover noises she might hear from the kitchen as you look for the herbs you need.

She lets out an exasperated laugh, “Eating again? I don’t know where you put it all. I wish I could eat like that and stay as slim as you.”

“You don’t need to worry so much about your weight, Mom. You look great,” you tell her. “I wish I could add a little bulk. Like Abbie says, I’m a beanpole.”

“Davey, you’re a handsome young man. Don’t let your sister get to you. She’s just teasing. It’s just taking a little while for you to fill out into your height. That’ll happen soon enough. You can’t rush these things,” your mom tells you. “Getting enough sleep wouldn’t hurt that process, so don’t stay up all night,” she adds with an only half-serious stern tone. She closes your door and heads to her bedroom.

You need to kill a little time, so you actually get some work done on your homework for about half an hour. Then you open the magic website to check the ingredients you need for the blessing again. Once you’ve reminded yourself, you step cautiously into the hallway. Things sound quiet in your mom’s bedroom, so you head downstairs and gather up the herbs that the spell calls for.

Back at your desk, with the little jars of herbs laid out in front of you, you read the description and instructions for the Blessing of Aegle carefully. You’ve learned your lesson about not taking magic seriously. When you read over the part where it says you have to have influenced the subject’s mind, emotions, or dreams. you remember you saw another spell on the list that lets you go into someone’s dreams and change them. That gives you hope that you might be able to cast the Blessing spell on Mom and give her a long life too, just by going into her dreams.

You go back to the spell list to look for the dream spell and happen to notice the Blessing of Adonis on the list. You consider what your mom told you about needing to be patient for your body to fill out and not be so scrawny. This blessing might speed things up, so you don’t need to wait as long. After all, Abbie said she doesn’t mind if you date other girls. Looking better would certainly help you on that count. There’s a warning about the possibility of becoming conceited and self-centered. You smirk. Considering your low self-esteem when it comes to dealing with girls, being a little more self-assured might not be bad. It certainly seems to you that arrogant guys do better with women.

First things first though, you’ve got the materials you need to ensure that you and Abbie, and maybe Mom too, can live over a century and be healthy the whole time. You cast the Blessing of Aegle on yourself. The ritual takes just a minute or two. You don’t feel any different, but you didn’t feel anything when the enchantment spell worked either. You go ahead and cast the spell on Abbie. Nothing in the instructions says she has to be nearby for it to work.

You can’t cast the Blessing of Aegle on your mother until you cast the Journey of Morpheus on her. You could do that now, or you could try casting the Blessing of Adonis on yourself. It looks like the physical ingredients for the two blessings are the same, just the chant is different.
