Summoning Ln'eta

Blair looks at her quest's instructions. Light five candles in a dark room, chant U'nuk Kul'rin Oolunika, three times, draw a pentagram in fish blood using the kris dagger, then chant, Alio Pri'ewk La-shik five times. Her tongue carefully moved as she read those chants, trying to sound them out without saying them yet. 'Those are not going to be easy to say. I will need to be careful while chanting...' Ellinor managed to get Caesar off the bed by this time, causing her to look in their direction. "I need to turn off the lights and start the summoning ritual."

Caesar lets out a soft bark before being pulled close to Ellinor. "We'll stay out of your hair. Just be careful. Okay?" Blair smiles. "I will." Her eyes look to Caesar. "Be a good boy for Ellinor. I'm going to be busy for a little bit." He blows out some air from his nostrils before licking his lips and lowers his head. She chuckles. "I'll take that as a yes." She picks up five of the birthday candles and a cheap lighter. She lights the candles with the lighter before sliding her fingertips over the glowing green gem near the door, causing the light in the middle of the room to turn off.

Aside from the five candles, the room was now pitch black. Realizing that the candles would melt and hurt her hands, she set the candles carefully on the ground before tossing the lighter toward the other one. "U'nuck Kool'rin Ulanika..." She blinks, noticing there wasn't any change. That was when she noticed her quest didn't respond either. 'Hmm, I knew this wasn't going to be easy.' After a few more attempts, she finally pronounced the entire chant correctly. "U'nuk Kul'rin Oolunika."

When she does, an eerily faint sound of the ocean tide is heard outside. The number of times needed to chant went down by one. She looks around. 'Well, that was creepy.' She shakes her head before chanting again. "U'nuk Kul'rin Oolunika." This time the sound of the ocean tide is a little louder. "U'nuk Kul'rin Oolunika." Upon successfully chanting the third time, the sound of seagulls replaced the sound of the ocean before fading a few seconds later. 'Are we changing this illusion barrier's location with these chants?' She scratches the top of her head before moving on to the next task.

She picks up the obsidian kris dagger and cuts open a few of the salmon in the bucket and uses the blood to draw a pentagram with that kris dagger. This took a few minutes, but it turned out well. Alas, she accidentally got some blood on one of the candles, causing the candle section of her quest to reduce from five to four. She cleans off the candle and uses one of the others to relight it before setting it back down. With her quest back in order, she continues to the final task.

She swallows before starting to chant but is interrupted by Ellinor. "I don't know what that first chant did, but I am a little worried about this. Are you sure you want to go through with it?" Blair could only see Ellinor's outline due to the shadows cast by the furniture in the way of the candles' light. "I understand that you're worried, but I think it would be worse to wait. Ln'eta told me that her mood would change based on how quickly I summoned her. In this case, the sooner the better."

Ellinor softly sighs. "I see. Don't let me stop you then. I love you, Blair." Caesar whimpers, the sound of his paws' claws tapping against the ground nervously were heard for a second or two. Blair felt a little moved by their concern but this needed to be done. "I love you too, Ellinor." She clears her throat before starting to chant. "Aleo Pri'euk La-shik." Since nothing happened, she looks to her quest. Sadly, she had failed to chant it correctly. She lets out a soft sigh. "I think whoever designed these chants doesn't like the human tongue."

Ellinor raises her hand. "I think they were designed for an Eldritch God." Blair gently touches her left hand to her forehead. The sight she saw upon exiting the illusion barrier earlier filled her mind. 'Those tendrils, eyes, and strange voices.' She lets out another sigh. 'Now that I think about it. This sounds like a version of their language for dummies.' After many, many more tries, she is finally able to chant it correctly. "Alio Pri'ewk La-shik." Upon doing so, a mixture of rumbling and sliding is heard outside.

It was so profound that it made the listener feel as if they were listening to the sound of a mountain sliding in the distance. Ellinor holds Caesar close. "Blair?" Blair looks around. "I don't know what that is, but I'm sure it won't harm us." Caesar softly whimpers. Ellinor gently pats Caesar's side. "We'll be okay. Have faith in Blair." Blair takes in a breath and chants once more. "Alio Pri'ewk La-shik." The sound increased in volume; this time accompanied by the sound of the ocean.

The next two successful chants result in the sounds increasing in volume each time. However, the distance felt like it was closing in as well. Upon chanting it one more time, the candles' flame changed to a black flame and the pentagram of blood began to glow. A mist permeated the air just above the ground, a figure began to ascend from the center of the pentagram. The figure was darker than anything she had ever seen in her life. The mere sight of it caused pain, making her wince and look slightly away.

However, her curiosity was getting the better of her as she focused even harder on it. The figure of a triangle figured woman came into view. This woman's hips were wide in a curvy slender manner. The air grew still as two demonic bat wings upon the woman's back flapped once before spreading wide. A hand extended forth before, the shadowy light making this figure appear more imposing as a soft feminine chuckle is heard. "You've done well, Blair. I am very happy to have been summoned so quickly." That was when Blair's quest turned itself in before starting the next one.

The Summoning of Ln'eta! 2 of 3

Reward: Ln'eta's praise and 5 Rp, 5 skill points, and 1 of your requests chosen by Ln'eta

Blair grins upon seeing the section about a request. 'Even if it's chosen from a few of the ideas I have in mind, I would benefit greatly. Like having this mark removed, knowledge and power over this eldritch shadowling inside me, or a fun and perverse relationship with Ln'eta herself.' As a few naughty things came to mind, the light in the middle of the room turns on out of nowhere, revealing Ln'eta's shocked expression. Ln'eta was turned slightly to the side, her light pink eyes' pupils widened before narrowing as she was clearly sensing what was on Blair's mind.

She had a mix of light and deep pink hair with a part just above her right eye upon her head tied back in a ponytail. She has neatly groomed, thin straight eyebrows. Her skin is an unusually pale olive and has a rubbery look to it. Her face doesn't have a nose nor lower jaw. Instead, she has ten, seven-inch tentacles. Two of which were raised to the sides, lifting her hair up slightly in a shocked manner. "I, I didn't think your mind would go there so soon, Blair. Are you a nympho perhaps?" She looks to the side, noticing Ellinor and Caesar who are too shocked to do or say anything.

(Author's note: I do not own this picture. It is from the game Sucker for Love. It's an interestingly cute horror dating game. If you are interested in this game, you can find it on steam.)

"I see you brought guests." She begins to relax, but when Blair's thoughts turn to a threesome. Her body twitches. "Will you stop that!" Her hands are in fists by her sides. Her voice almost squeaks due to a mix of nerves, excitement, and embarrassment. Blair chuckles as her eyes more run along Ln'eta's body. 'That outfit is interesting. Her dress is full-length and linen colored with a black overlay that barely covers the front of her tits and exposes her lovely thighs. I wonder how big they are. C-cup? Hmm, the emblem held by two straps on each side in front of her crotch is interesting too. That design reminds me of the one on a few of the pages within the book used to start this quest.'

Her eyes ran down a little further, noticing Ln'eta's feet. There are prodigious claws on the front and back. 'I'll need to be careful of those.' Although the claws were imposing, the rest of Ln'eta's feet looked like a slightly larger version of a human's foot. The only question now is what will she serve to Ln'eta? She had a skill for cooking. Should she serve baked, fried, roasted, glazed, or raw salmon?
