Gaining Power

starting with the area outside the grind you killed every Undead in the area, even heading back to the Graves to clear tat area, sitting at the bonfire to bring them back and repeating.

you did this for hours gaining little over a thousand souls every run, eventually you had nearly 10,000 souls and you felt very powerful, you Marched back to the shrine staring back to the corner where He was, he would be dealt with in due time you convinced yourself, entering the shrine and heading up the stairwell to the Fire Keeper.

when you arrived at the top of the stairwell to the balcony you could see her still sat at the Tree, but she was moaning and her arm was moving rigorously, was she touching herself you cleared you throat making her jump again, you'd think not being able to see would make her hearing better, "Ashen one!" she said standing and closing her legs tightly, she gave a bow collecting herself "Did you gather the Souls?" you nodded approaching her "so how does this work?" she cleared her throat and seemed to get a little more nervous "to gain power from your souls you must t-touch the d-darkness within m-me" she had stammering "...and how would I do that?" you said smiling "well..." she got a little closer taking your left hand and slipping it under her black robe and resting it on her soft breast, "Now Kneel with your right hand held up" she said still a little flustered, you did so as she put her hand above yours and beginning to pray.

a beautiful white light appeared between your hands as you felt a strange sensation, you felt like you could infuse yourself with power, little sprites within you highlighting giving you a couple choices, and you amount of souls resonating near them, you increased your life and endurance up immensely also increasing your durability, when your didnt have enough soul power to increase anymore of your feats your opened you eyes and stood.

"Did it work?" she said concerned by the confused look on your face "yeah I think so..." you actually felt stronger, your amour felt lighter and your muscles seemed to have grown quite immensely, "now I can kill that Fucking Snake, the Swordmaster" you took your left hand back from her breast and went to leave.

the Fire Keeper moaned grabbing your arm before you could go "Wait!" she said desperately, you turned to see that she looked rather intent "I-I..." she said stammering and breathing heavily "what's the matter are you okay?" you said seeing how hard it was for her to say what she wanted, you got that she was shy but she was really struggling.

she took a deep breath "Ashen One, I wanted... a kiss goodbye before you go off again?" she said going rose Red, a kiss? like just a kiss? "you... want a kiss?" she nodded, now that you thought about it the whole servicing situation was nice but she seemed to want an actual relationship, did you want that? I mean it could be a little leashing but maybe? the Keeper turned and walked back to the tree "i'm sorry Ashen One it was a stupid question i should never have asked please pay me no notice..."
