Chapter 18+

Chapter 18+

----------

Few months had passed since Nelehs conversation with Shalheira the Chosen of Elune. Nimue was taking Neleh towards the headquarters of the Inquisition. She had managed to get the girl a meeting with the current leader of the inquisitors the Grand Inquisitor Yunalesca. Neleh had already managed to absorb almost all the relevant teachings that acolytes are usually taught, before they begin their practical training, which is what Nelehs sister Selene was currently also doing. After practical training the acolytes usually started specializing on their chosen paths as priestesses.

The fact that Neleh had managed to absorb teachings that usually took several years in little over a year presented Nimue with a slight problem. The girl had already been a special case because acolytes were usually only accepted after their Awakening, and now her fast learning compounded on the issue. The girl already knew everything that a standard priestess should know, and could figure out a lot more with her sharp mind. Her control over holy power was frighteningly efficient, and Nimue had few times seen Neleh skip right over the incantations and prayers used to control the holy power. That of course only happened when the girl thought no one was looking. The problem wasnt her skill; instead the problem was that she was too young to have those skills.

The practical training of acolytes took two primary forms. More peacefully oriented priestesses mainly performed ceremonies and rituals either for the grand temple or a temple in a nearby city or village. They also healed the sick, and advised on spiritual matters. More combat skill oriented priestesses took part in expeditions of the guards or the hunters. There was no point in assigning Neleh to the first duty, since the girl had already taken part in far more important ceremonies and rituals that acolytes normally did, notably the new years ceremony among them. People were also reticent to take advice from someone so young. It would simply be a waste of the girls talents to have her shackled to duties she could already perform better than most full priestesses. The practical usually took a few years, depending on the individual acolyte, and that time would be wasted if the girl was forced to perform such routine tasks.

The second type of practical was much better suited for the girls talents, considering her combat skills, but that came with other difficulties. Neleh had already been attacked once, and if she were to operate outside the city, could draw unwanted attention towards whatever parties she took part in. So instead of helping those parties, she might put them in more danger instead. The bigger problem was her age again. The hunters and guards would not be able to trust a girl that young. Especially if the girl had to go around with her hood up and face masked. She could theoretically earn such trust, but that would be a long and grudging effort.

To solve the issue, Nimue had gone straight up to the Grand Inquisitor and explained her reasoning. The girl would in a way skip over her practical, and the Inquisition would have more time to train her and give her a practical of their own choosing instead. The Grand Inquisitor had not been too thrilled about the idea, mainly because she also considered the girl to be too young. There was also the fact that the Inquisitors were perhaps the most exclusive group in the entire elven empire, and the requirements for joining were even higher than for those that wanted to become a part of the royal guard of the empire, the Legion of the Phoenix. Much like the Legion, one didnt apply to become an Inquisitor, the Inquisition recruited those it chose, and usually that honor only fell upon proven priestesses with lots of experience. Nimue knew the girl's talents though, and had some idea about her potential, and had at the very least managed to get her a meeting.

Now remember, I only got you the meeting, even getting you tested is not a certainty. Its your job to convince the Grand Inquisitor. Nimue said when they had arrived outside the meeting place.

Do not worry. I have an idea that the Grand Inquisitor might find interesting. Neleh said with confidence, and went inside the meeting room, leaving Nimue outside.

The woman behind the desk was tall and statuesque. Her face showed the markings of a life hard lived, and even had a fairly sizeable scar above her left eye. The womans sharp and piercing eyes snapped to Neleh and sized her up and down. Any normal person wouldve felt naked in front of those eyes, all their secrets laid bare for judgement. Neleh was just amused by the look. Her piercing gaze was nothing when compared to the gazes of the Asura war gods or the torturers of Inferno. The womans blue hair was cut short just above her ears in a cut favored by warriors.

Neleh gave the woman a warriors salute, with a slight bow.

So. You are Nimues little prodigy. Ive heard quite a bit about you. Tell me why I should give any time to Nimues crackpot idea. Why would the Inquisition waste time on someone who looks like she should still be hanging on her mommas apron strings? Yunalesca was exaggerating quite a bit. Although Neleh had still not reached her eventual full height, she already matched the average height of an elven woman, and her lean muscle and warriors balanced and smooth gait gave her a sort of dangerous presence. And while the Inquisitors gaze was piercing, Nelehs eyes held something much stronger than steel, and the deep blue of her eyes invited anyone to swim and drown in their depths.

Straight to the point. Good, I like it. Youll want me among your ranks now for two reasons. Firstly because it is a weird thought to have an Inquisitor as young as I am. If you have trouble with the idea, think how unlikely it would be for those Im looking into to imagine me as an Inquisitor. That allows me to work more freely and in secret. Majority of the Inquisitors are from a similar mold, so it would be advantageous to have some people that were moreunexpected. Neleh said with confidence.

That is a fair point. But that still doesnt give me a reason to choose you specifically. Yunalesca said, not yet convinced, even if she could immediately see the upsides of the girls idea.

That brings us to the second reason. Simply put, I am incredibly talented, smart and my potential is nearly limitless. With the training and guidance of the Inquisition, Ill be the best Inquisitor alive within ten years. I have already learned everything Nimue has to teach me, I could already beat you in combat, and I havent even had my Awakening ceremony yet. I know for a fact that I will also have talent for magic. Nelehs voice oozed confidence. This wasnt boasting, this was simply her stating an obvious fact.

The Grand Inquisitor stared at the girl, stunned for almost a minute. Her eyebrows had shot up almost to her hairline, and her mouth was slightly open. Then she burst into an evil laugh. She had never met anyone with a confidence like the girl had. You couldnt have confidence like that and carry on with such certainty without something to back it up.

You have me intrigued little girl. We will have you tested, and well see if you really can stand behind your words. Yunalesca said still chuckling.

The tests Neleh had to go through were rigorous and many. The first test simply tested her skills as a priestess. She was forced to cast several complex holy spells smoothly in a row, while being bombarded with questions about required knowledge. The second test was a series of tests of physical ability. If she was to use her warrior skills as something to qualify her as an Inquisitor, of course she had to prove them. The tests were easy to Neleh, but got her a little annoyed with their repetitive nature. They were covering ground she had already proved herself in.

The third test however was something that immediately got her interested, and promised to wash away her annoyance. She was led to a dim room under the Inquisition headquarters, into an area that looked like a prison. Yunalesca herself gave her the explanation and instructions.

The previous tests were only something to tests you as a priestess and a warrior. Even if you did excellently, dont let it get to your head. The next three tests are the real obstacle, where we check your suitability with the Inquisition. She opened the door into a large prison cell with several tools of torture, and a male elf chained to a chair. The man cursed and spat at them, with rage in his eyes.

Inquisitors must be able to do whatever it takes to complete their mission, and they cant have a queasy stomach about how they get their information. This is where we separate away those of weak character. This man is a murderer and a rapist. He is a part of a ring of similar minded individuals. I want you to dig out anything you can about his compatriots from him. You can use anything in this room to get the results. Only thing is, if you cant get the information, you cant kill him. If you fail, we can allow our professionals to get the information out of him. Do you understand? She turned towards Neleh expecting her to look queasy. This was the test that weeded out the majority of potential candidates. Priestesses usually had a very gentle nature. It took a very different type of person to do this. She didnt expect the small grin on the girls face.

Oh yeah, I understand. I think I know just the thing. If I may, could you please wait outside? I will make sure he will answer your questions. Neleh said, now with a positively evil grin. Suddenly Yunalesca felt that it was a very good idea to not to be in the room, when the girl did whatever she had planned.

After she exited the room, Neleh rubbed her palms together. She had wanted to test if her little ability worked using holy power for added strength and control, just like it worked with magic. She felt it would be a good idea to warn the goddess first. Elune, Im going to test if an old ability of mine works with your power as well as it worked with magic. You might want to abstain from listening too closely for the next while.

Alright, I think I already have some idea on what youre thinking. Im intrigued as well. You have my permission to proceed.

The dinner was good, and despite her embarrassment Solana managed to keep up with the conversation. The main reason why Solana was so embarrassed was because despite their booth being in a bit more secluded part of the restaurant, the pair was drawing quite a lot of attention. In addition Neleh kept moving closer bit by bit, and Solana kept drowning in her eyes. Finally the two were sitting right next to each other and Solana was unable to get a single syllable out of her mouth, which opening and closing rapidly in a half panic.

Neleh had finally had enough of Solana holding herself back. She got up and swept the jittery Solana into her arms, and kissed her like she meant it. The kiss started with gentle little pecks, but when Neleh was able to draw Solana along into the kiss, she got more demanding and passionate. By the end Neleh could with confidence say that she had thoroughly checked Solana for any cavities with her own tongue.

She had to hold Solana up when it was done. She was as limp as a rag doll, and her head lolled to one side, her eyes unfocused and her mouth slightly open and licking her lips. Neleh knew she had her now, and the older woman would only offer token reluctance anymore. She chose to simply lift the woman in her arms and carried her to the door of the restaurant. She pressed the price of their meal to the owners hand, told they had had enough and thanked them for good service. The owner opened the door for them with a wide grin. He had seen the whole thing, and thought it was cute how the young girl was handling the grown woman.

Solana started coming back around when they were traveling along the street, towards the nearest inn of decent repute. When she asked for their destination, she only got a grin and a shush as an answer. In truth she had a pretty good idea about what would be happening next.

Neleh had not been a big charmer in her old life, but she had learned a few things that she now applied while taking Solana up to a room in the nearby inn. She had learned that most women, despite all their meticulous preparation dont really think theyre attractive, especially to someone younger than them, or at least they believe that some part of them is patently un-attractive. Because of that they really love being convinced that they are in fact attractive and sexy. She had learned that you can almost always find something about a woman to appreciate and compliment. They dont want lies, they want you to honestly like something about them. And its not always something about their body.

She had learned that if you find a way to honestly care about a woman, she can tell, and shell appreciate that more than almost anything else you do. She had learned that if you play honestly to their hopes and dreams, and downplay their fears, it might be the best gift you can give her. So when she was slowly taking off Solanas clothing, she kept telling about all the small, and large, things she appreciated about her. She kept whispering her appreciation and desire into Solanas ear while ever so slowly peeling of their clothing one article at a time, while planting little kisses on every expanse of skin that she uncovered. Solana made delicious mewling sounds during Nelehs slow and gentle administrations. With both of them deliciously naked, she led Solana to the bed. By now the womans desire had become obvious in her eyes, but there was still a slight tinge of fear as well.

The final thing she had learned was that if you take care of a womans sexual needs first, and only then worry about your own, she will do almost anything to help you handle those needs. So Neleh decided to dedicate herself for that task next.

Spoiler :

She started kissing down from Solanas lips, taking the time to appreciate her neck, and give a little nibble to her ear. She continued down her body, spurred on by the soft gasps Solana was making. When she reached her breasts, Solana tried to cover them with her hands, clearly embarrassed about them, but Neleh didnt give her the chance. She gently but firmly took a hold of Solanas hands and pushed them above her head. Nelehs lips kissed little circles around her nipple, until Solana gave a small frustrated mewl. When she heard that, Neleh sucked the nipple into her mouth and gave it a small experimental bite. The gasp this time was clearly appreciative, so Neleh got a little rougher with Solanas breasts, before continuing southwards giving small kisses and a gentle caress to her stomach. The nerve endings above Solanas uterus gave a burst of positive shudders. When Neleh got close to Solanas sex, she kept kissing around it, giving her a little tease, kissing her inner thighs instead. She could smell the Solanas excitement, and could see her lower lips glistening with nectar.

Solana was making small frustrated sounds, and forcefully pulled Nelehs mouth to her quim. Neleh got the first taste of Solanas juice, and found the taste to her liking. She started giving long gentle licks all the way from Solanas butt cheeks, to the top of her pussy, clearly avoiding touching her clit. She danced her tongue around her clit, and gave her lips little rubs with her fingers, finally inserting a single digit into Solanas tight tunnel, giving small jerking movements. Solanas hips bucked up from the bed, only her heels and neck still touching the mattress.

When Neleh noticed Solana getting close to her release, she finally attacked her clit. Solana lay back down and flopped while Neleh licked, pressed and sucked her clit, doing everything except bite it off. Solana saw stars as her orgasm burst through her. It felt like her whole body had broken into fragments and exploded like fireworks. Her hands made fists, then opened and grasped into fists again, as she tried to grab for something she couldnt see. Its good she couldnt reach Nelehs hair, because shed have torn it out at the roots. She tried to scream but she had no air left and she only managed to make half choking gasps. Her pussy writhed and she produced thick squirts of clear juice that splashed against Nelehs chin. Neleh instinctively lapped at Solanas pussy lips, sucking up that juice and swallowing what she could get into her mouth.

At that precise moment Neleh owned Solana, and Solana would do anything to ensure that Neleh would do this to her again. Neleh knew when to pull back. She did and stared at Solanas pussy lips, which moved on their own accord as her muscles flexed and she shuddered through her cum. Solana was now making little mewling sounds that made Neleh think she was crying. She immediately crawled up on her hands and knees, and put her face in front of Solanas. Solana was crying, but she was smiling too, and Nelehs heart relaxed as she reached for Solanas face.

Something had broken free inside Solana. I love you so much! She sighed and almost forcefully pulled Neleh down for a kiss, not caring that Nelehs face was covered with her juices. It was a sloppy, wet kiss, and as far as Solana was concerned, it was the best kiss shed ever had.

Ready for round two? Neleh asked with a small grin.

Solanas answer shocked her. Yes, master. Neleh had known Solana was a submissive type under her warrior exterior, but not to this extent. Well she could deal with this too.

-----

Neleh and Asheara had forgotten a slight detail about their bond, which now came back to bite them. When Neleh took Solana to the inn, Asheara could feel her daughters desire and horniness through the bond, and this in turn made Asheara extremely horny. She was still meeting with a customer, when the first waves of desire hit. She could feel her body get warm with the desire, her hand on instinct reaching down towards her waist, while her quim spritzed the first droplets of wetness. She hurriedly showed her customer out, and practically ran back to her bedroom. By this time Neleh was busy eating out Solana, and Asheara had gotten hornier than she had ever been.

She leapt into her bed, ripped off her clothes and started rubbing herself off harder than she had ever done before. Problem was, Neleh was only getting started on the other end of the bond, and as they had discovered earlier, when both of them were feeling the same emotions, those emotions compounded on each other. In this case their desire and horniness kept compounding. Asheara had to rub herself off a dozen times, and it was more the fact that it was getting painful and her quim was getting rubbed raw that caused her to stop.

-----

This compounding effect of course reached Neleh too, and she lost herself completely in the desire and pleasure. Something broke inside her as well. Both Neleh and Solana were blind to anything happening around them, and thus didnt notice when the whole room burst into flame when Neleh lost control completely. Every surface and every piece of furniture in the room was covered in weird blue flames, which also covered the lusty couple completely. Weirdly enough the flames didnt actually burn anything.

-----

Gabriel was lost in thought while her scouting spells suddenly alerted her. She had been extremely frustrated, because the wars and conflicts had drawn all the celestials helping her into trying to resolve the conflicts. She had had to make due by placing searching spells in every location she traveled to, which would alert her if anything that didnt belong to this world were to happen. And now the spells in Rhianon had detected something matching that description.

Flames of Life? Well now, that isnt something this world can produce. It seems Little Flame is living up to her pet name. She didnt leave everything in her old life behind after all. Gabriel had a grin on her face, and prepared to travel to Rhianon. Now she had both a location and something for her spells to look for.

Author's note: Yes, I made the chapter 18 into 18+. Say thank you for our proofreading wonder of a Loli Archmage. The primary sexual content is in spoilers, no real plot elements there. The scene itself is there for a reason though, as you will note I wasn't able to keep all sexual content inside spoiler tags.. This is my first bat at writing something risque, so it might be a bit iffy. As a side note, this became the longest chapter so far even without the content inside spoilers..
