Preparations

The elderly man returned to his throne, his eyes directed at Lara who stood but a few feet away from him covering her breasts and private parts. The medallion was big enough to cover it all but she still felt uneasy, it wasn‘t so much the shame but fear of the unknown as well

After a long silence and lot‘s of awkward staring around the room by Lara, who waited filled with anticipation as to what awaits her, the man finally spoke.

''I do hope I have been clear that as long as you are bound to the pact of the trial, you shall abide by those rules and everything you do will have great impact on the outcome'' The man spoke in a serious tone.

''I understand'' Lara nodded agreeing with the man wholeheartedly.

''Do you , really?'' The man asked.

He walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder, his other hand gently took her arm as she gasped in surprise. His hand felt soft to the touch a warmth she had long forgotten. She didn’t object as he lowered her arm gently.

‘’To be free in both body and spirit, there is no place for shame’’ He spoke.

It didn’t take long for her to realize what he meant nor hesitate for a second, her arms lowered as she stood before the man awaiting him to signal the beginning of the trial. For some reason she couldn’t quite explain, she felt safe near him. That is why she had no problem exposing herself to him. It happened naturally and it took just one gentle touch

It is not until the chief mentioned that she will soon need to go outside that the sense of safety slowly began to fade. She would be lying if she said that it didn’t make her feel at least a little uncomfortable being in a village with only men.

The chief looked at Lara again and spoke softly while holding her hand, she would occasionally steal a glance at his lid, but she would revert her attention immediately to his eyes.

‘’What is your name young lady?’’ He asked.

‘’It’s Lara’’

‘’Lara, a beautiful name, it means to shine like the brightest star in the sky, did you know that?’’ He asked.

Lara replied with a smile, his voice made her calm and warm inside, his sweet words echoed through her mind.

The chief then left, leaving her by herself, he remained outside for quite a bit, she stared around curiously but there was really not much to see. These people lived a simple life and had no materialistic desires. They were more in touch with the nature, there was not a single trace of technology present. It was as if they lived a secluded life from the rest of the world.

She jumped a bit as a hand rested against her shoulder but she soon recognized that touch, the same one as before. Chief had returned informing her that the trials would be starting soon as he walked her to the door and moved the rag aside for her to exit.

‘’Before we start you must get better acquainted with the villagers’’ He left her with those words

‘’Ok’’ Lara confirmed with a simple nod.

‘’Before we do you must know that we are in touch with nature, we do not feel shame. Our men are used to seeing a woman naked and willing whenever they please, our tribe has a very healthy dose of sexual relationship.’’
‘’I understand very well that in your world it is considered somewhat of a taboo so bear in mind that while I did explain them the rules of the outsiders, they do no understand your logic behind it. Your shame of showing yourself, or you not wanting to be with all of them if they desire so’’ He continued.

‘’Often women who come from other tribes present their good intentions through oral sex, it is a mark of trust, one that says they are willing to bond with them and take a part of them inside her.’’

‘’It is up to you of course, they will not **** you to do anything but they will look at you or ask the questions they feel the need to, if they touch do not be afraid, the choice is always with the woman, even in our tribes. The reason our women do not refuse is because it is what they truly believe in and enjoy.’’

‘’I understand, I’ll keep that in mind, thank you.’’ Lara answered.

‘’Good now let us proceed’’ He said as he put his hand on her shoulder again.

She would be lying if she said that it didn’t make her feel at least a little uncomfortable being in a village with only men, especially after what he just told her. But she had to press on, after all, the chief did tell her that there is no place for shame.

He walked her to the door and explained her to have a talk with the villagers while he prepares the trial. With those words he left her once again on her own, that sense of safety vanished once again and she covered her breasts immediately before walking through the door.
