Hubert Plots His Next Move

Hubert sat in his study staring at the seeing stone before him. In the polished glass surface of the orb he could see Evelina. She was naked and riding her boyfriend. Hubert didn’t know his name but he detested the young man nonetheless. He had replayed the vision 3 times now, letting his anger fuel his thoughts.

In the image Evelina gasped as she gyrated her hips and pressed her fingertips into her boyfriend's chest. The young man’s hands encircled her and cupped both of her arse cheeks, squeezing them hard and drawing another half strangled cry from her lips.

Having enough of it, Hubert waved his hand over the surface of the orb and the image slowly faded, Evelina’s face staring up at the ceiling with a look of intense rapture.

Evelina was the key to his plans. The key to controlling the Lodge. Francesca had controlled them for too long. Standing in the way of magic users and the power they deserved. Dominion of all peoples. However, her connection to Colin was an obstacle that needed to be overcome. She would never take the necessary steps to use her powers for Hubert while she was in a relationship with a non magical individual.

The girl was coming in for her first lesson in a short while and Hubert could lay the groundwork for his plans with her. Gradually over her apprenticeship wearing her down and bringing her around to his way of thinking. He already saw the hunger in her eyes when he offered her power during the ceremony. It was only a matter of time.

However, he wanted to hurry things along.

“You called for me.” A husky woman’s voice called from behind Hubert Dufort.

“Indeed, my dear Analexa.” Hubert said, turning towards one of his book shelves.

A woman appeared from the shelves. It was like the shapes of the books, shelves and statues each blended together to form a woman. The curve of a book's spine becoming the curve of her large breasts, a circular symbol, becoming the orange pupil of one of her eyes.

When she had stepped out completely, Hubert found himself standing before a stunningly beautiful woman. She had dusky skin like she had lived her life under constant sunlight, but her skin wasn’t rough and chipped but smooth and silky looking. She had swirling black tattoos over her skin. They ran along her bare arms and peeked over the top of her high collar gown. Her black hair was pulled back tightly on her scalp and was tied into a long braid that ran down her back all the way to her curvy behind. But the most interesting part of her was her eyes. She had orange eyes that seemed to glow with some kind of unnatural light.

“It is always a pleasure to work for you.Now tell me,what can I do for you Master Dufort?” Analexa purred, moving right up to Hubert. She seemed to sniff him before stepping back.

“I have work for you.” Hubert said, moving back to his seeing stone. He dragged his finger over the surface and flicked through the recollection he had been watching earlier, “This man. I want you to find out everything you can about him. His family, his friends, his dreams, his nightmares.”

“Ooooo. Can I harm him?” Analexa licked her lips, her eyes appearing to grow wide and wild.

“No. Attacking him would be too obvious, but if he was led astray by a beautiful woman, why that would be in everyone’s favour.”

“Excellent. He and I are going to have so much fun.” She stepped back towards the shelf before stopping and narrowing her eyes, “I expect my regular payment, Dufort.”

Hubert gave a grunt and nod and Analexa gave a sharp toothed grin and faded back into the books, her feature becoming lost once more in the clutter.

“Master?” Evelina’s voice said from the other side of the door.

Hubert drew himself to his full height. He wasn’t a tall man but he fancied himself imposing.

“Enter.” He said and Evelina stepped into the room.

She was wearing a simple white blouse over a pair of faded jeans. Around her neck hung a medallion with the symbol of her family. Hubert had an image of her throwing it into a fire and the pair of them watching it melt. A dream for the future.

“You are here only on time.” He said sternly, “ I expect you to be early from now on.”

“Yes, Master. Sorry.” Evelina said, giving a small bow as she took another small step into Hubert’s office.

“Come over here. We have work to do.”
