The Cleansing

Yulia can't say she really wants to be whipped, but the voices do raise a good point, that it's probably better than trying to fight this imposing angelic woman. She is confident that she could heal herself if it gets too bad.

Yulia listens to the suggestions and agrees that maybe she should ask some more questions first, if for no other reason than to stall the oncoming pain.

"W... Will I have to be tied up, during the... cleansing and... once the cleansing is complete what happens?" Yulia asks and The Angelic woman shakes her head.

"Only your hands will be bound. You will kneel before the altar with your hands held onto the sanctified surface. You will of course be stripped to allow the scourge access to your impure, lustful flesh. Once you have been cleansed you will be allowed to go forward. Past this area is a place of safety and rest where you can be healed," the angel answers.

"and if I am not cleansed?" Yulia asks nervously and The Angel's lip curls into a scowl.

"Then you will not be allowed to continue forward and the way behind you is shut. You will be trapped here for as long as I bar the way and I will be here until the end of time," she states.

Yulia sighs and removes her mask, placing it carefully onto one of the pews before slipping off her scapular as well and folding it neatly beside the mask, her surprisingly curvy body, despite it's petite stature on almost full display save her remaining bra and panties. She looks extremely nervous to be so exposed as she approaches the altar.

"You have made the correct choice, my child," the angel states and stretches the whip between her hands as, Yulia kneels before the altar and places her hands onto it's surface. As soon as her hands rest on the surface of the alter, bindings of light appear trapping her wrists and she lets out a noise somewhere between a gasp, a mewl and a whimper. Her arousal is clear from the flush on her otherwise pale cheeks, her eyes darting around fearfully as well as the angel moves behind her.

Yulia visibly tenses unable to see behind her and having to merely anticipate the first strike. The angel behind her rears the whip back and then strikes, the first strike leaves a large red mark from Yulia's right shoulder down to just above her ass and makes her shriek in pain, however visible on her face is something strange, despite the cry of pain her eyes have rolled back as her face becomes more flushed.

A second strike hits her other shoulder down to the same spot and she cries out again, but there's something in the cry and her breathing takes on a breathy, lewd tone. Two more strikes hit, making her arch her back and tug on the binds as her tongue slips out of her mouth and she releases a cry of pain and pleasure. The angel responds with a scowl and the whippings come faster now, each strike leaving large red marks as Yulia squirms, moaning and whimpering, her breathing irregular and soon her panties are dripping with her arousal.

The Angel lets out an enraged cry, "Sinful, woman! How dare you come to this place! Your soul is corrrupted beyond saving!" the angel announces.

"N... Nnn... No! Please! I'm pure! I'm a good girl!" Yulia cries out in between panted, aroused breaths and then the blows come quick and sharp. Each one now starting to split the skin and making Yulia scream in pain, she collapses against the altar as the blows don't let up, she can feel blood dripping down her back and she desperately tries to focus to cast her healing magic, but her mind is a haze of pleasure and pain and she can't focus. The next strike hits her and she screams loudly as the burst of pain sends her over the edge and she cums hard before her head falls against the altar and she slips out of consciousness.

She wakes up some time later, shivering, she's still in just her underwear and lying on the floor of the chamber. Her back is still covered in whip marks, the angel is gone and Yulia whimpers and sobs as she begins to cry remembering what happened. She winces as she tries to move and gives up, waiting a few more minutes before trying again and managing to stand, forcing herself to withstand the pain. She casts great heal on herself and shudders as the gentle warmth of her healing flows through her, the broken skin on her back quickly healing again, though the marks remain. She carefully puts her scapular back on and then her mask.

"I... I don't feel well..." she whimpers and then sighs, "but at least I'm not suffering from that demon's magic anymore..." she says weakly and glances towards the door to the rest of the floor and shivers before heading towards it. The Angel does not reappear and she passes through the door and finds herself in a rest area. It's the same as all the other rest areas except with the addition of an altar for praying at and a small bathing pool. There's no wheel, but unfortunately Dreg is still here and he smiles at Yulia as she arrives.

"What took so long?" he asks and Yulia just ignores him. She feels awful and really needs a rest which means she's going to need to make a choice about whether to send Dreg away.

Otherwise there are two doors, both simple wood, one on the left and one on the right that seem to be the ways forward on this floor.
