"Are you awake"?
"I think you know the answer to that" I mutter while my eyes flutter open.
I smell shame.
The feeling of a disconnected body is always orgasmic, the moment I come back I nearly groan at the sensations.
My aura is gone.
My mana core is completely empty.
I don't feel the pleasant tingle of Grisel in my back.
The little guy is no longer settled in the ball of energies across my body.
The trail to my spiritual root is broken.
She wants to fill me with her energy.
She wants to learn me.
She was going to kill me, I felt it.
I felt all of it.
It wasn't just one bite.
She drained me dry, force fed me some gruel or soup and then did it again.
And again.
And again.
Long after the Grisel was gone.
In the same spot.
It was always the same spot.
The right side of my neck.
My lady wanted to kill me, every time, but she stopped.
