Trial of passion, uniting the flames.

Blair, Yoshito, and Caesar walked to the large zen garden. However, Caesar was still a little too small to get onto the large stone by himself, so Blair picked him up and held him close. Caesar's tail happily wagged as he wiggled just a little bit against her. She giggled and said. "Just relax, this'll only be for a moment." Once she was in front of those, Stones of the Flame once more. After she sat down, she set Caesar down upon her lap. She was starting to feel rather confident in her abilities. She was almost too used to this ritual by now. Caesar sat down upon her lap and looked around, but yipped when suddenly the three wisps appeared floating just above Yoshito's head.

Blair gently touched Caesar's head and rubbed it while saying. "They are friendly, Caesar." The pink wisp flew closer to Caesar as if to inspect him, but was suddenly licked by Caesar. Although this wouldn't have worked for Blair, since Caesar was a spirit beast, it allowed him to easily breach the wisp's whimsical/spiritual defense. The pink wisp darted away from Caesar and behind Yoshito's head. However, it slowly moved to take a peek after a moment. Both Yoshito and Blair began chuckling before letting out a happy sigh. Blair looked down to Caesar and said. "Be a good boy, Caesar. I'll be back before you know it." Caesar let out a soft bark in reply.

Blair looked to Yoshito who nodded slightly and said. "You have two trials left. The Red Spiritual Stone of the Flame, is the trial of passion and the Yellow Spiritual Stone of the Flame, is the trial of fear. The choice is ultimately yours, but remember. The trial you pick now will make the last one that much harder. We'll be awaiting your safe return, Blair." Blair nodded slightly before reaching out to the Red Spiritual Stone of the Flame. Its red light seemed to grow brighter and brighter until she finally touched it and that voice from earlier entered her mind while the world around her vanished. "Oh, so passionate are we, but will you be bright enough to see?"

Trial four, Passion

Blair's eyes looked around as best they could, but to no avail. All she could do was reply. "I don't know what you want, but I will pass all these trials, you'll see!" She could see a wide row of white teeth that reminded her of the Cheshire cat's smile from Alice in Wonderland before it simply said. "Mm, just follow your passion and good luck, Blair. You'll need it."

Showing its teeth!

(Author's note: As usual, I do not own this picture. This is just to show an example of what I am describing. :3)

The world around her started to reform and surprisingly enough, she was back in her apartment, but why was she here of all places? As this thought crossed Blair's mind, she looked towards her living room and saw her t.v. was on. What surprised her was that one of her old favorite arcade game's was on pause on the screen, Marvel vs Capcom. However, before she could focus on it, a voice came from her bedroom. "Blair stop playing that video game and give me some sugar. I know you have a tournament tomorrow, but it can wait and I need you now."

This voice was quite familiar yet slightly painful to hear. It was Nora's, but as she turned to look in the direction of her bedroom. She saw someone she hadn't expected to see. Aisha had stepped out from her bedroom, standing naked in the door way as she began to speak. "Come on, we've been waiting all day. If you want to keep this relationship going. You need to play with us too." This was made worse when Ellinor came out of her bedroom as well. Ellinor's naked form was accented by Aisha's as she stood by her and said. "We really miss you, Blair. Come play with us." Blair's mind simply froze for a moment as she thought. 'Wait, a threesome with all of you? Here? Now? What!? But, my game..'

Blair wasn't sure what to make of this. Her base passion, video games, the one true constant in her life. It was always there to pick her up and never let her down. However, people like Nora, Aisha, Ellinor, and many others were growing on her. They were the reason she was here at all. You could even say she was passionate about them even if it was only in a naughty way. She couldn't let them suffer for her gaming habit, right? She looked from Aisha and Ellinor back to the video game screen then back to Aisha and Ellinor. A thought came to mind. 'If this is like the others, if I just focus on one thing. I'd prove my passion, right?'

Deep inside, Blair could feel something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it as she stepped closer to Aisha and Ellinor. Aisha smiled happily and said. "Yes, come to me. You can play later. It's not that important, right?" Ellinor then spoke. "It'll be waiting for you after we're done. So, don't worry about it. We're here for you now." Blair was starting to lose herself in this moment. Her desire to have her way with three women at once was something she desired. Sure, one was simply a fuck toy, but that wasn't so bad, right?

Blair's mind began pondering that for a moment. 'Wait, it's just the one that is a fuck toy to me, right?' Nora called out again. 'Blair, I'm waiting.' Blair looked up and called out. 'I'll be there shortly.' When she took a couple of steps towards Aisha and Ellinor. They began to reach for her as a floating message started to fill the middle of her vision. 'Is this truly what you want?' Blair looked down then back to her video game then back to Aisha and Ellinor. When she looked back to them, her vision started to become overrun with the same message. 'Is this truly what you want?' However, the last message was different and read. 'Don't you wish to be greedy, Blair? What is your true passion?'

Blair knelt down, feeling tears fill her eyes as this began to overwhelm her, but luckily before she broke down in tears. Blair felt a mental snap in her mind as the thought came to her. 'Why should I settle? I can be greedy. I can have both.' Those messages rescinded, making it much easier to stand as she said clearly. "You know what. You can come out to me. I can play with you all while I game." With that final phrase everything around her disintegrated. Leaving a white space, but as Blair looked around. She felt something odd, a soft lick upon her left cheek, as the voice filled her mind once again. "So passionate and bright. One more to go, Blair."

Back in the Zen Garden

Blair's eyes slowly opened as she felt Caesar licking her left cheek. He whimpered softly as his tail hung limply. However, when she spoke, Caesar softly barked and his tail began to wag happily. "Hey, Caesar. Why are you licking me?" Yoshito chuckled and said. "We both could sense something dark around you. Caesar, decided to try and lick the problem away. I think it helped." Blair smiled and hugged Caesar gently as she whispered. "Good boy." Caesar nuzzled to her, but while this was going on. Blair noticed two new exclamations flashing that she allowed to pop up.

Blair's eyes widened as she looked at that, but decided to open her character sheet to spend her new 5 skill points. After checking her stats quickly, she decided to spend those 5 points on Strength for two reasons. One more of her abilities were costing health, but the second reason was the more important one. If she were to get it up to 50 like Intellect and Wisdom, she was likely to get an awesome health and health regen bonus which she desperately needed. Upon putting those 5 skill points into Strength, it increased from 40 to 45. Her muscles slightly expanded before condensing.

Caesar turned around on Blair's lap and laid down on her lap, content that she would be okay now. Yoshito however, kept watching Blair and asked. "How are you feeling?" As Blair closed that window, she looked down while thinking about that. 'Hmm, how do I really feel?' She knew she had almost failed this trial. It was rather odd, even with knowing that she felt amazing and blessed. She looked back to Yoshito and said. "I feel great." Yoshito didn't look so confident as he felt that dark presence once again from her, but he nodded and said. "I see. Just don't push yourself too hard. I love you, Blair."

Blair blushed as she heard him say that and said. "I love you too, Yoshito." His score ticked up to 120. Blair gently ran a hand along Caesar's back, trying to relax for the moment, but in the back of her mind a few of questions were still on her mind. What was that voice's purpose? Would she find out after completing the trial of fear? If she was wrong about the difficulty of the trial of passion, was she also wrong about the trial of fear's difficulty?
