They find them

“Perfect. Here the traces of the two mages are much easier to detect and trace back.” Ephera commented as she looked around the area just outside the mine’s entrance, where she had brought them.

“So it won’t be a problem to find them, right?” Ciara asked.

“Of course. Give me a few moments to trace them, and then I can bring us there.”

“Very well. But before we go you should put on some clothes – even if they are only illusions. And hide that cock of yours – I don’t want to unnerve the two from the start.”

“Do I have to?” Ephera asked as she looked at her summoner with pleading eyes.

“Yes!”

“That’s no fun!” the golden woman pouted as her dick vanished and an illusionary golden dress hid her body. Though it wasn’t doing much in the way of hiding her charms. “There. Anything else?”

“Not right now. Let’s go.”

“As you command, mistress.” And once again Ephera teleported them away. This time the two appeared in a city, just in front of a house two stories high. “Here. The two live here.” With a single gesture from her the entrance door to the house opened and the two walked inside. Not wasting any time Ephera led her mistress to the library where the two mages were.

“Who are you? What do you want, and how did you get in?” A young man holding a wooden staff demanded to know as soon as Ciara and her servant entered the library. Behind him was a young woman. The two eyed their visitors suspiciously.

“My name is Ciara and this is my servant Ephera.” The fairy answered as she examined the two humans in front of her. Both were young and raven-haired. The man seemed to be the older of the two and was holding what appeared to be a magical staff pointed threateningly at her. He was dressed in a blue robe. The girl, who was obviously his sister, was wearing a blue dress and was hiding behind him, worry visible on her face. She had quite a nice body. “I have a few questions about a certain pentagram inside a certain mine. And would you please put away that staff? If I wanted to hurt you it wouldn’t be of any use to you.”

“You still haven’t told us how you got in.” The man said coldly, completely ignoring Ciara’s question or the mention of the pentagram.

“Through the entrance door. Isn’t that how you enter a house?” Ephera asked with a bored expression on her face.

“The door was locked with magic!”

“It wasn’t when I tried to open it.” Answered the summoned girl.

“Now that we cleared that would you be so kind as to answer my question?” Ciara interrupted before the man could say anything else.

“And why do you want to know?”

“Because I was wondering if you two have anything to do with the trolls that are supposedly coming from the mine. Oh, and would you mind introducing yourselves?”

“If course we have nothing to do with them! How can you even think it might be otherwise!” The girl answered angrily.

“Calm down!” The man looked at his sister and waited for her to nod in confirmation that she was calm again before returning his gaze to Ciara. “My name is Brian and this is my sister Lisa. And no, we have nothing to do with the trolls. We only created the pentagram.”

“And why, if I may ask, did you need such a thing?”

“To summon a certain creature with strong healing powers. We couldn’t think of any other way to heal mother. Our healing powers are far too weak, and we don’t have the money to hire a healer with sufficient skill. So this was the only other way. But just as we finished the pentagram that black-robed troll appeared and we ran away. Then the troll attacks began, and we have not dared to return to the mine ever since.”

“Your mother? There’s no one else living here.” Ephera noted.

“Mother doesn’t live here, in the capital, with us. She lives in Verdar – the nearest large city. She has lived there her whole life and refuses to move. Fortunately the healers there are skilled enough to keep her stable even if they can’t heal her.” Lisa explained.

“I see. About that black-robed troll…” Ciara started.

“He was powerful – too powerful for the two of us – and we couldn’t see his face, or anything else that might help you. But shortly after we encountered him the trolls appeared and started attacking.” Brian answered her unspoken question.

“I see.” The fairy said as she considered everything she had learned. A black-robed troll who was also a powerful spellcaster. Was he the elementalist whose work Ephera had detected? Or were they different people? Either way this weird case was starting to intrigue her.

“Do you need anything else from them?” Ephera asked, sounding a bit impatient.

“Nothing right now.”

“So can I fuck her now?” Ciara’s servant asked, staring at Lisa with lust-filled eyes.
