[3rd Person POV]
-Reverse Harem Girl -
There was a swan in front of the girl .
The reason because :
She too was initiating her test . She was left in the middle of a bird sanctuary with little to no information .
Her mission was to take a white feather from a red swan . She wasn't given much information else .
The swan was in front of her . It had shiny red alluring color .
The mission in hand was easy but no matter what she wasn't able to catch the swan after many attempts .
So she started following the swan .
The first week the swan escaped the bird sanctuary , probably sensed that it was being followed , and started to go to the infertile lands around the bird sanctuary .
The first two weeks were hard , there was no one around and there was NOTHING around in the middle of those infertile lands .
...
But she kept following . At first her desire to follow the animal was small .
After 2 weeks of following they reached to woods . The bird was still in sight but she still wasn't able to catch it . She decided to increase her effort to catch it with increased desire , her will started burning hotter .
She followed the swan for a few more days .
After careful observation of the enviroment around she set up a trap . It was something like a mouse trap . She had circled around the swan and was in the pathway that swan will come later .
She had to be back quickly , circling , so that the swan wouldn't suspect anything .
The trap worked and she had caught the swan the next day .
She came next to the swan .
Before taking the feather she felt sad about hurting the swan so she healed it first .
After she took the white feather .
Then the swan turned to a beautiful woman .
The woman it turned to was beautiful .
She was a red haired woman with tanned skin that looked like the sands on a sunny beach with a red off-shoulder dress with a gothic like aestheics , she had black knee-high socks that had sexy designs and straps going to her inner thights under her sexy gothic-like dress .
She had two swans that was designed in front of her dress .
The swans looked like a heart with their heads meeting eachother with arched necks .
She had a ripe body and boobs that were big enough that would need support from clothes and underclothes .
There was also a white scarf over her naked shoulders . She was wearing long leather black boots that looked strangely modern for some reason . Maybe she had took it from some non magical person .
The feather that the reverse harem girl took had turned to a white fur cap , a white kalpak in her hands .
"Can I take it back please ?" the woman said . "Thanks for the healing by the way ." she said next .
"Hm-m , uhmm ?? What ?? " the girl said . She was stunned with eyes open .
"Name is Ayızıt by the way ." the woman in red said .
"Uhm yeah ?" "Ah here take it ." the girl said unsure of what to do .
"Thanks ." the woman answered , her tone was jovial .
"Uhm yeah , no problem " "Oh no wait !" " I had to take the white feather . Was that cap the feather perhaps ?" she asked troubled .
"Ah , that . Yeah but don't worry that I'm kind of the next step of your test . You will take the feather back . Now follow me I'm going to show you my palace . " she gestured her to follow .
"P-palace ?" A palace in the woods ?
The girl followed the woman and they came to a place that looked like an ancient Japanese building .
There were two swan statues on sides . There were a few steps going up .
The area the enterance was on , was a platform made of neatly cut big stones .
There were 2 women at the enterance , they looked like succubus with no wings and tails with whips in their hands . They had shiny red and black tops with black shiny pants , probably made of leather .
Thier whips had iron arrows at their tips .
"My Lady ." they said making a militaristic gesture , placing their empty hands above their brows .
"Rest easy , sweeties . " she sent a kiss to them and waved her hand while going in .
The guards obeyed .
They went in and there was a throne made of carved stone and wooden .
It had cushions for the places that would be uncomfortable .
"Oww, mhmm , nice" she said trying to place herself on the throne in the middle of the room .
Without a moments passage :
She yelled "Guys !!! Bring us something good eat . Also bring that alcohol made from bee milk I haven't tasted that yet , please ."
There was no one in the area they were in but there were enterances around . The place they were in was like a core of the building , like a middle of a labyrinth .
"And you ," she said turning back to the girl .
She snapped her fingers and an armchair apperad behind the girl . Also a table appeared between them .
"Sit , please . Make yourself at home ."
The girl looked back ,confused by all this ordeal . "Hmm , okay ." she said . She made a similar motion to that Ayızıt person made while sitting . She was mimicking her unconsciously to ease her nervousness .
Then two topless not too muscular but toned men appeared with silver plates on hand , the plates were closed with silver lids . One went to Ayızıt , one went to the girl . The men was ready to serve them with the courtesy that is of like butlers' .
"Gentlemen , Describe the menu please ." the woman said not taking the lid off yet .
"Yes , m'lady . Please feel free to ask if you have any questions." the man near her answered .
"First of all our appetizers include the 'Dwarf's Mysterious Mezes' with various mezes and the ' Genies' Enchanted Pastries ' filled with spinach, cheese, and potatoes. For starters, we have the 'Fairy-Touched Lentil Soup' and the 'Dragon's Eye Salad.' "
" The ' Genies' Enchanted Pastries ' you say
"Hmm . " she hummed .
Then "We'll start with those as appetizers. " she said .
"For an intermediate course, we offer the 'Olive Oil-Enchanted Mushroom Leaves,' which are vine leaves filled with mushrooms and olive oil."
"Certainly. Now, onto the main courses. We have the ' Magical Lahmacun, ' which is a thin dough topped with flavorful minced meat and spices, and the ' Sultan's Enchantment,' featuring a delicious beef dish served with a special eggplant puree and sauce."
"Great! For the main course, I will take the ' Sultan's Enchantment. ' and my partner would like the 'Magical Lahmacun' " the woman said like she was an actor playing a scene perfectly .
"As a side dish, we offer the 'Baked Magical Vegetables,' a colorful medley of vegetables baked with aromatic herbs and spices."
" We'll go with the 'Baked Magical Vegetables' as a side dish. "
"Certainly. And finally, for dessert, we have the 'Sorceress Cezerye,' a sweet made from carrots and walnuts, and the 'Amulet Dessert,' which is a sweet treat filled with nuts and sweetened with a magical syrup."
" The 'Amulet Dessert' for me please . You ? " the woman asked to the girl .
"The same one , please ?" she said , not fully out of her surprise .
There was a suddenly appearing food in front of her with half naked men coming out of nowhere afterall .
" Indeed . To accompany your meal, we offer the 'Elixir Wine,' a color-changing beverage made with magical fruit juices, and the 'Pomegranate-Fig Sherbet,' a refreshing and sweet drink. "
"Hmm . I'll try the 'Elixir Wine' and the ' Pomegranate-Fig Sherbet ' for her ."
" Perfect . If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy your magical dining experience , ladies ! "
He said and the men took the lids off , the food that was ordered appeared starting with appetizers on their plates .
The plates would go on by itself to the next course after finishing the current one .
"Enjoy , little girl ." the woman said and she started her course .
But she wasn't eating like a queen she was portrayed. Rather she started eating like a hungry high-school student .
She wasn't a dirty eater but she sure looked delighted with every bite .
The girl followed the woman and started eating .
When they came to main dishes , Ayızıt started talking .
"Go on , keep eating " she said while she was also eating . "I'll talk about your test . Listen while you eat . "
"Hm Hm ." she nodded a bit while gulping the food down quietly . There was a hidden attention behind her silence .
"You will learn under me for a while and if you agree you will have the honor of being known as my daughter . I'm something of a goddess myself ." she said finishing her words with another bite .
"At least I'm known as ." she added with an unchanged attitude.
"There was no chance in you coming here , it was your destiny . Rather , farseer shamans played role in you coming here . They foresaw your potential ."
"There aren't many that becomes my daughter nor many that comes here ." she added and continued .
"I'll train you in magic here for a while and years later - when the time comes - you will be sent here back I'll be your what shamans call a 'mentor' ."
"You will be here for a few months so prepare yourself . "
"Hmm... Thinking now how about you call me 'mother' ." she had said after thinking about their future relationship a bit .
The girl almost chocked on her food . "Wha - ? Not sure . "
The girl thought if it was something you could ask to a stranger you have just met .
Mother ?
It was a hard question to ask her as she hadn't ever thought about having a motherly figure in her life .
"There is no rush my girl . Worry not . There is no shaman without scars , I at least will try to heal yours as your self-appointed mother . "
The woman had said it without trying to peek into her past or take advantage of her . She was sincere with healing her scars without a gain for some reason .
The girl became red as the words pulled on her sensitive strings . It was hard being a young girl with complicated familial matters and it was hard being seperated by the tricks of life even though it was her decision in the end .
"Well you won't be forced to damned hard tests . You will just be trained but with more intensity with efficency , maybe we will go hunting together as a daughter and mother from time to time."
"You will be able to at least confuse someone with basic mind shields . We will delve into alien minds together , study them and play with their most basic insticts . "
"We will dive into eachothers' minds of course . But if you don't want to show anything sensitive I have ways for that . You -though- can dive into mine as much as you want , you can't hurt my mind so don't worry about it ."
"Well ,you can charm the boy you like without direct mind magic if you study well . " she added with little playfulness .
This made the girl have curiosity over the topic . It had just her attention afterall .
Charming the boys , why not ?
"But men are wolf ," the woman said later with a thoughtful face appearing on her face .
"Hmm ... But women are vixen too ." she went on .
" It is better if you just love me but what can I do . I will just hope you will bring someone worthy ." she was theorizing about future to the girl but it sounded like her plans .
The girl felt she already was placing herself as a mother in her life .
"It is one though , right ?" she asked the girl .
The girl looked up and there was a silence . It was a silence of shameless guilt .
"Right ?" the woman asked again , uneased with the silence .
...
"Look , I know I'm known as a goddess of sex but ..." she had said . It was always a problem polygamy , poliamory etc. in reality , she had thought .
"Ughh ..." she said , rubbing her suddenly appearing wrinkles .
And for some reason it sounded okay talking about sensitive matters with a young girl she had just met .
"Listen . Of course you can have sex friends even multiple at the same time ." she said with a tone that was like an accepting mother .
"But you will have one man at the and of the day right . For woman multiple might be okay too but at the end of the day one lover is the best ."
By the sudden strike of this topic girl become meeky but listened her anyway .
"And there is also something called - we will talk about it in detail later , okay - a cuck . "
"I say , never 'ever' bring something like 'that' to this house ." she said with slight disgust .
"If you ever bringing someone at least bring someone strong . Doesn't matter woman or man , bring someone that will give their their life for you , okay ?"
"Okay ?" she asked back as the girl hadn't answered .
The girl said "Huh , uh ? "
Why would she ask about her personal matters anyway ?
"Okay , young lady ?" she was asked again .
"Okay ." she said but she was utterly terrified by this woman's motherly antics . It was a primal fear she had never experienced before so she just shut up and listened .
"Good . The bride or the groom will be to my liking if not you better forget about it . "
It was terrifiying the conversation moving along this much just within a day -at least just from one side . It was impossible to guess what would happen during the coming few months they will spend together .
This helicopter or maybe spartan mom that was hard to understand fully might not even want to finish the test of the ceremony by her own accord and give her daughter back to shamans .
So their strange relationship started with strange servants in this place planning to call her as ' Young Lady ' or ' Young Miss ' .
It was bound to be a hard seperation for the future surely that would include snots and strange dialogues .
Such as ,
"You will study hard and come back to mom quickly , okay . Don't dilly dally with innocent boys and study hard ."
For some reason she was acting like a real mom . Who knew what happened during the time they were together .
"Ughh, okayyy ! " the girl said with annoyed tone .
"Come , give mother a big hug . Promise me you will eat well , I can't trust that shamans to feed you with quality food so I wrote this . Give it to the first shaman you know , I will kill them if they don't treat you will ."
It made the girl have a face that of an exasperated person , it was futile having the woman not act like a mother .
"I will also be watching form time to time so don't laze around . If so you will be caught red handed young lady ."
"You will also introduce me to your friends , don't trust strangers . That snake boy sounds suspicious . If he tries to do something just call my name and I will appear . "
"Okay ,okay. Stop ." "How will I even go back ?" she said tired of her motherly side .
Ayızıt hearing this , knew that it was time to seperate with her daughter . She will come back later again anyway , even if it has to be done with force .
Ayızıt wiped her nonexistent tears and yelled suddenly
"Goodbye my daughter ."
With half naked men and succubi like women around seeing her off with their 'Lady' and slapped her on her back. The girl stumbled towards ground but just before hitting she vanished not knowing it was the effect of the slap .
Ayızıt felt lonely , having to send her daughter . But she had to be tested and get stronger , a goddess wouldn't want a weakling as a daughter .
