They Find Beldan

Anna led Winlay through the halls of the palace to the Grand Cathedral. Winlay realized it was still early because when they stopped outside of the giant Pandoran Oak doors, she chould hear Beldan finishing with the morning sermon with prayers for the wicked people of the world to grow closer to Xelta. Once more Winlay found herself feeling confused. This was a holy man. A man who truly Loved Xelta and his children. Surely what had happened between them had to have been for a reason. But as the doors opened and people began leaving the cathedral, She got a good view of the fat priest again and a shiver ran down her spine.

He was watching the people leave and she saw his eyes fall on some of the younger, more beautiful sisters. She could have sworn that there was an unholy hunger alight in his eyes as he watched them leave. But then his eyes fell on her. She felt herself beginning to tremble a bit in fear of him. Beldan's demenour instantly changed as he began walking towards her. His eyes softened and his face took on a light and happy glow. His hands came together in front of his great belly and she watched as he fiddled with one of his rings.

She felt a rush of calm over her then. Surely what she had seen had just been her imagination. Beldan was the High Priest, a faithful follower of Xeltan and second in command of the Church. Although with the Oracle away on business, not to mention his old age and failing health, it was only a matter of time before Beldan was the Oracle. He would then be second only to Lord Xelta. Winlay's face reddened as she felt a wave of heat suddenly begin to spread from her stomach down to her pussy that was already beginning to get flood again as the priest got closer.

"Ah, Sister Winlay! It is such a pleasure to see you up and about after such an exciting day. I was starting to think you would sleep this one away!"

She saw him smiling as he reached out and embraced her and she felt aroused at his scent as her head was pushed into his chest. She caught sight of Anna backing up a few steps, but the woman said nothing. When the priest released her, Winlay did an awkward bow and made the X of Xelta on her chest.

"I'm sorry Lord Beldan, I just needed rest from-" she paused not having the exact words to say for what had happened. Again she saw something light up in Beldan's eyes, But he continued as if nothing had changed in him.

"It is alright my lady. You are my Voice now! I can hardly blame you for being exciting. Why I bet you had trouble getting rest last night with such joyous news. Which I might add is completely fine my dear. I took the liberty of settling the matter before the morning sermon. You are now officially my Voice."

Winlay's heart began to pound harder in her chest, but she couldn't decide if it was from fear or happiness. The feelings she had were warring in her head and heart alike. She managed a smile and Beldan laughed loudly.

"No need to be shy my dear! I know, since I was able to clear my day, I'll use it to give you a tour of the Holy Capital. There are so many places to see my dear. And many places I can show you that are perfect for peaceful meditation. Places where very few people ever go."

He reached a hand out of hers and dismissed Anna. Winlay felt so alone at that moment. In her heart she felt something bad was going to happen, but in her head and her loins she wanted only to go with him.
