Mistress Nadine

You look at the map one last time as you approach what should be the home of Nadine. You were almost expecting a small castle or a huge tower, but what stood before you was a plain cottage. It had a stone fence around it, with a wooden gate. Green grass for a lawn with a stone walkway up to the door. Flower pots line the cottage, although the flowers appear fairly unique to your eye and you suspect Annabel would be pretty interested in them. You open the gate and walk up to the wooden door. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Just a mooomeeeent" you hear someone inside call out in a sign song voice. You hear footsteps approach on the other side of the door, and the door opens soon after. Standing on the other side of the portal is a young woman peering back at you. She is short is the first thing you notice as you look down at her, maybe a inch or two over five feet. Her hair was black and pulled back in a ponytail that came down a little past her shoulders. A streak of white hair in her bangs immediately grabbed your attention. She has green eyes that look you up and down through a pair of glasses. Continuing down she has on a pair of what look like denim overalls over a red long sleeve shirt. Her breasts are enough to let you know they are there, but you are unable to determine size yet. She is definitely cute you decide. She smiles brightly up at you and you feel a lot more at ease about this being a trap.

"You came...and so soon" she says still smiling "come in come in. I'll get some tea going" she says motioning for you to enter. You step inside and she shuts the door behind you.

"Please, make yourself at home" she says "I'll get that tea started and be right back" she says over her shoulder as she heads into another room.

You look around the room. There is a couch and chairs placed near a fireplace with a small table in front of them, the walls are a mixture of books and various plants. There is a hallway on either side of you. One leads to you assume the kitchen which is where Nadine went, and the other you can't really see too far down as it makes an abrupt ninety degree turn a few feet in. You sit on one side of the couch, crossing a leg over your other as you relax, and wait patiently for Nadine to return. Shortly after you sit Nadine returns and quickly sits next to you on the couch angling herself towards you.

"So. Introductions" she says with a grin. "I am Mistress Nadine, great and powerful mage of New Eden. At least to most people who haven't encountered magic users. I prefer to just be called Nadine" she says with a hand on her chest. She looks at you expectantly.

"Oh...um...my name is John Doe. I am...new...in this area so I don't really have any titles" you say a little shyly "it is nice to meet you Nadine" you add quickly.

"Yes, a true pleasure" she says. "So now that we have the formalities out of the way I'm sure you are curious and have questions. Before we get to those I was hoping you could show me what you got" she says "so I can see what we're working with here" she says tilting her head.

You think about it for a moment. Most of your spells are offensive in nature. You point at her fireplace and a line of fire extends from your finger lighting the kindling inside of it. You look back at her and see her face is a bit deadpan.

"Is...is that the best you have" she asks with a little disappointment in her voice.

"Uh...well, no" you answer "I can make larger gouts of flame, and I have another spell, but it...it's well..." you stumble rubbing your arm.

"Yes, it's what" she asks.

"It causes intense pleasure for the person I cast it on" you say shyly.

"Oh, well, let's try that later" she says with a wink "that's it then" she asks again.

"I can tame Dinos" you quickly add almost forgetting about that.

"Oh...a tamer, not too many tamers around" she says clearly a little more intrigued. You think a bit more on what you are capable of and then you remember the letter and map.

"This might interest you" you say pulling out the two pieces of paper and handing them to her. She looks at you curiously for a second and then takes them to examine them. She quickly looks up at you confused.

"This is the letter and map I gave you" she says with a raised eyebrow.

Look at them closer" you reply.

She takes a moment to look at you quizzically and then her attention goes to the letter. You see her mouth move as she reads it. About at where you see her get to the part you change her mouth stops moving and she abruptly looks up at you with wide eyes.

"You're intuitive" she exclaims.

"Intuitive" you ask.

"Um...for mages we need to study a spell from a book. We learn its construction, its form, everything we can about it and then we attempt to replicate it. With each spell there is usually a minor difference that master's can notice. An intuitive mage is able to study a spell that is in use and replicate it from there. An exact copy so to speak. Learning a spell from a rune is not something I thought was possible anymore. Anyways, it is considerably faster than what other mages can do, and potentially unlimited. There has only been one other intuitive mage that I am aware of" she says looking you up and down with widened eyes.

"What's a rune" you ask.

"A rune is a spell attached to an object. It draws its power from the person wielding the object" she says holding the map up. Her eyes drift to the map briefly and then back to you. Suddenly her eyes are quickly back on the map. She holds it closer to her face, flips it over and then back again, and then she stares wide eyed at you once more.

"What happened to the rune on this map" she asks in an astonished voice.

"Er...well...I canceled it" you say a little weirded out by the looks she is giving you.

"You canceled someone else's spell...that's...that's not possible. How did you do that" she asks with amazement in her voice.

"Well I noticed how the spell was attached to the map. It was like tendrils or strings or something like that" you begin and Nadine nods in agreement.

"I couldn't force them back into the spell like I could with my own" you continue with Nadine still nodding.

"But when I placed the same spell over that spell, pushed in one of the tendrils, and had my spell's tendril take that same spot I saw that the original spell couldn't push its tendril back out again. Then I just did that for each tendril until my spell was fully attached. Then when I released it the original disappeared and my spell was what remained. Then I just detached my spell and they were both gone" you explain. Suddenly you heard the familiar noise of a tea pot whistling which snapped Nadine out of her thoughts.

"I'll...I'll be right back" she says standing up and walking away in an almost daze.

After a few moments you are considering on going to check on her, but just as you are about to she comes out of the hallway with a tray that has a tea set on it. She smiles at you brightly as she sets the tray down on the table and sits next to you on the couch to begin pouring you both a cup of tea.

"I have to apologize. Here I was thinking I would be answering a thousand questions from you, and here we are with you answering my questions" she says with a giggle. "It's just...what you described isn't possible for someone like me to do and it is fascinating" she says with excitement in her eyes.

"What do you mean" you ask.

"Basically you copied a spell exactly, so when you removed the one spell it was still like that spell was there. That's why you were able to do it" she explains "but if it was me in the same situation you were in I might know how to create that spell, but it would be slightly different. Like I explained before mages learn spells by reading about them and practicing creating them. As such, even when we are casting the same spell, the spell will still have features unique to the individual mage, and unique to that individual spell. Since it is just slightly different there is no way a mage can remove another mage's spell. It'd be just different enough to not work. The fact that you can exactly copy a spell is...well...I've only heard of one other who could do that" she says staring across the room with a distant gaze.

"The guy who took out Wendel the Grim" you ask knowing that was the answer already.

Nadine nods her head and returns her focus back to you.

"Yes, he was a remarkable man" she says wistfully.

"Wait...did you know him" you ask a bit shocked.

"Yes" she replies "I knew him very well" she says with a blush.

"That was a long time ago, you don't look like you are more than 30 years old...if that" you say ignoring the obvious blush on her face and what that suggests.

"Being proficient in magic has many benefits" she says with a smirk. You let that thought linger in your mind a bit.

"Well...I know better than to ask a proficient magic user their real age" you say with a smirk of your own.

"I'll just add that whatever your age is, you're gorgeous" you chuckle.

"Oh, I'm gorgeous am I" she asks with a cheeky grin on her face.

"Surely you've heard this before" you respond with your own grin.

"I have, but it is nice to hear every now and then. Especially from someone so interesting" she says smiling as she touches your knee with her hand briefly. You can't help but smile at the contact, and she smiles brightly back at you. It's as if some hidden hurdle was just crossed and you both know it.

Feeling a little shy you pick up a cup of tea and take a sip. Surprisingly it tastes just like chamomile tea which happens to be your favorite tea.

"Do you like it" she asks.

"Yes, it is a very nice tea" you respond earnestly.

"This is one of my favorite teas to wind down and relax with" she says grabbing a cup and taking her own sip.

"Speaking of which. Do you mind if I get changed out of my gardening clothes and into something comfortable" she says setting the cup back down on the tray.

"By all means. It's your home after all, so get as comfortable as you like. Heck you could even come out nake...uhhh...I mean..." you stumble realizing what you were just about to say. Nadine just smirks, stands, and walks through the other hallway disappearing from sight.

"Good one John" you mumble to yourself. You notice some honey sitting on the tray and take a spoonful into your tea and stir it in. Taking another sip you relax a little more and try to think about anything other than Nadine naked. You are not successful in that task and your cock hardens fully as you explore the image of a naked Nadine in your mind.

Noticing a shadow in the hallway you turn your head as you take another sip. Nadine steps into view. Tea shoots out your nose and you spill your tea in your lap as you are more than surprised to see Nadine is wearing what could only be lingerie. In fact it was the only thing you might just call underwear here. You hack and cough as you try to set your tea down on the tray. Fortunately the tea was able to cool down a bit and wasn't burning your cock, but it was still uncomfortable. Suddenly Nadine was in front of you kneeling down. She hands you a small towel to clean up your face, while dabbing your crotch with another towel. As you dry your face off you feel her dab the towel directly onto your hard cock and immediately retreat. You freeze at the sensation and try to think of how you can apologize, but suddenly and softly you feel the towel on your cock again. This time it lingers and rubs along your length lightly. You look down to see Nadine staring at the obvious outline of your cock. Her eyes are half lidded. She drops the towel and you soon find just her hand grabbing the outline of your cock as she rubs up and down your shaft. You can't help but let out a little moan which seems to encourage her to grip you through your pants with a tighter grip.

"Um...Nadine...Oooooh" you try to ask what she is doing, but her other hand cradles your balls suddenly causing you to moan a little more.

"I'm just making sure everything is ok where you spilled your tea" she says with a giggle as she continues squeezing and stroking you.

"Ok, but I don't want to...um...spill anything more in my pants" you hastily say.

"Good idea. Why don't you take these wet pants off so they can dry" she says looking up at you with a smile. You quickly realize where this is going to go and decide to stand up so you can take your pants off. You expected Nadine to scoot back a bit, but she remains kneeled in front of you with her head less than a foot away from your crotch.
