To the storage room and then to Goldshire.

Lirra decided she was too vunerable in her current state. She made her way back down the spiral stairs into the main hall. To get to the storage room she had to pass by the open door to the library. She managed to remain quiet as she peeked around the corner. Brother Sammuel and Priestess Anetta were still there. Sammuel had his large cock in Anetta's pussy as he held her up.

He held her by the knees causing Anetta to spread her legs. They were facing the entrance, giving anyone looking in a perfect view of the lovemaking. As soon as Lirra looked in, she made eye contact with the pair. "Told you you would be back," Anetta said between moans as Sammuel bounced her up and down on his dick. "Just look at the amount of positions we can teach you," Sammuel added.

Lirra's cunt throbbed. But the paladin knew their promises were false. Endless pleasure sounded nice enough, but not at the cost of her soul. Not if she had to lose herself and her faith. So she rushed past the doorway and ran towards a closed door further down the hall. Luck was with her as the storage room wasn't locked. She opened it and latched it behind her.

The room was dimly lit by a candleholder next to the door. There were no windows in the small room. Lirra took note of the room's contents. She quickly found a wooden shield and a bronze sword. They were smaller than the ones she usually trained with, but they would do. There was also a pair of sturdy boots. Lirra noticed a bunch of crates and a few barrels. She opened one of the crates and viewed the contents.

To her utter shock it was filled with crystals in various sizes. But they all had something in common. They were shaped like dicks. Lirra picked up a purple one and studied it in greater detail. It felt warm and was slightly see through. There did not appear to be anything magical about it. This one kinda looked like Brother Sammuel's, both in size and shape. The thought of Sammuel's dick brought back the images from earlier and Lirra felt her arousal rise.

As seductive and wrong the words of her teachers had been, they were right about one thing. Lirra could never fight like this. The sight of a naked body had her trembling as her pussy begged to be violated. She was safe in this room. And the box gave her an idea. If she could only relieve herself of these feelings, her escape to Goldshire would be easier. She would be able to focus on getting away instead of the rising feeling in her loins.

Lirra selected a small pink crystal from the box. One she was fairly sure would bring her pleasure, without breaking her hymen. She wasn't sure why she hadn't been corrupted by the curse, but she wasn't about to risk breaking her hymen on the off chance it was her virginity protecting her. Lirra pulled her pants down and laid down on a pile of sacks as she prepared to douse the fire in her pussy.

She took the pink crystal and rubbed the outside of her lips. When she was satisfied it was sufficiently wet, she moved it down to her cunt. She circled the outside of her pussy, pressuring her clit everytime it went near. Her other hand went to her breast and softly kneaded her warm flesh. Lirra continued her rubbing, focusing more on her clit.

Her breathing became louder and faster as she neared release. She dipped the crystal dildo inside her pussy, using it to explore the inside of her vagina. Eventually her muscles tensed and Lirra felt a warm wetness on her hand as her pussy flowed. The release felt good, but not as good as Anetta's touch had felt. It left her wanting more. She allowed herself a moment of rest, before standing up and raising her pants. Without thinking twice she put the pink crystal in her pocket and went to the door.

She listened carefully, but there was no noise outside. A small corridor sperated her from the entry hall of the abbey. She undid the latch and walked towards the entrance. The way appeared clear but the large doors were shut. Lirra walked up to them and started to lift the large beam locking them. A sound caused her to turn around.

On the other side of the hallway a large group of people came from the two corridors. She regognized Anetta and Sammuel, as well as the foursome from her dormitory. They were joined by others: The mage trainer Khelden and the warrior trainer Llane with various students both male and female, Marshal McBride, the local army commander and some of his soldiers and finally most of the brothers and sisters from the abbey.

They all shared the same empty black eyes. Most were naked and some were still wearing pieces of clothing, but it was obvious all had been engaging in sexual acts. Stains of a black liquid were present on most bodies, dripping from various holes and covering tits and faces. Black veins spread throughout their skins. All of them looked so happy. Brother Sammuel took a step forward.

"All have joined, Lirra," he said. "All are on in the darkness." At the same time the entire group repeated the mantra: "We are one in the darkness." It was extremely creepy to hear them all say it at the same time like that. "It is time for you to join us in eternal ecstasy," Brother Sammuel continued. He took another step closer. And another. He opened his arms as if he was coming in for a hug. Behind him, the group of afflicted filed in, closing the hallway off.

Lirra panicked. She had no intention of becoming one in the darkness. Her little masturbation session earlier had cost her precious time. She dropped her sword and shield, focusing all her might on lifting the large wooden beam. Eventually she managed. She pulled it back and dropped it on the floor. The afflicted were only feet away as she swung the large door open and looked outside.

The sky had turned purple. The moon replaced by an orb as dark as the eyes of her former friends and teachers. Gathered in a large half circle on the abbey's square were the people of Northshire Valley. The warlock trainer Drusilla and her students, local workers from the vineyards and in the center; her former friend Milly Osworth. Lirra was too late. She fell down on her knees, defeated. From this there was no escape.

The group closed in around Lirra. Various voices taunted her. "You will join." "There is no escape from darkness." "Give in to the pleasures of the flesh." Lirra felt the first hands upon her body, groping her and peeling away her clothes. "Get away from me!," she shouted as she struggled to fend off her attackers. She had never felt more hopeless as she closed her eyes, hoping that would somehow make the experience end.
