The Maze Bracelets

Keeping Lovers for a Time

Chapter 1 by MoteDog MoteDog

Love is ancient. Love being the reason to become married isn’t. Marriage was an arrangement for dowries, that is property in one form or another. For kings and nobles, the dowry was most often a treaty, of tribute, trade, or peace (in order to protect property). Their daughters were held as ransom, guarantees, under the pretense their parents cared what happened to them.

This presented a problem for the aristocratic husband. Their wife could still well have loyalty to their father, mother, family, friends, or true lover. His bedmate may even have been trained to be a spy. And the husband’s anxiety multiplied when he was allowed more than one wife, each representing the interests of some other property owner.

It is agreed that the first Maze Bracelets began in the royal court with a harem of a great many wives, perhaps King Solomon of Israel himself. Their magic spells restricted where the woman could be, not allowing her to escape or be somewhere she could pass information. Some of the spells even restricted who the woman could see. Some were so powerful the women died when their husband died. Those heirlooms that remain become weaker with each user. The most valuable bracelets are those that were the least used. It is thought that the wedding ring originated as a cheaper, and less effective, version of these kinds of bracelets. When the expensive formula that went into its metallurgy was lost, ring and bracelet became nothing more than wishful thinking, and then just a symbol.

But before that knowledge was lost, another version of the spell was devised. It seems obvious that the one responsible for the second type of bracelet being created was quite unattractive, and for all the power they may have had, the lack of response they received left them terribly unsatisfied and horny. Whether this someone was a man or a woman or whether they had designs on women or men (heterosexually or homosexually) is unclear, lost in history. Anger and jealousy have made these the rarest of the magic bracelets. It did not help at all that the user could be easily identified.

This spell shifted the restrictions on the ‘wife’ from a place to a person. Since it was the ‘husband’ who now wore the bracelet, insets were placed in it for love pills to absorb the identifying aura of the wearer. Once the love interest swallowed one of these bracelet-effected love pills they would not only not want to escape, but would always be drawn back to them, locked onto the ‘vibes’ of their ‘beloved’. For a quickie. For a day-long session. Or forever. Their lust determined by the strength of the love pill. And how much the 'husband' wished to torment the ones they make fall in and out of love with them.
