Astera met Charis at the Inn doors with a wide smile on her face. She led her to one of the downstairs rooms and showed her the prize they found and restored. It was a bathtub, refilled with clean water and ready for use. Astera ordered Charis into the bathtub for a bath. Charis couldn’t help herself she gave Astera the biggest hug and a most passionate kiss and then stripped off and climbed in. Astera picked up her clothes and found the soap and started rubbing her mistress clean. Once finished, Charis asked if Astera would dry her as well. Astera laughed and ordered her mistress out of the tub and then took her time with the task.

Fortunately there was still a bed in the room so they were comfortable when they embraced.

Clymene was good at being silent, as was Alcmene. Their skill, well at least Clymene’s was used to save their Mistress in battle no less. She remembered her joy upon receiving the thanks of her Mistress as well as the touch of her hand, her flesh touching Clymene’s shoulder flesh. She wondered if her Mistress meant to miss the cloth of the shirt on her shoulder or if it was accident?

She followed Astera who seemed to be showing Charis to a room. Clymene wanted to see Charis before she went to sleep; she enjoyed the hug, the praise and wondered if more was possible. She prepared by wearing a sleeveless shirt with thin straps over her shoulders in case her Mistress wish to embrace her again. The open embrace from anyone, especially a man was forbidden, that was natural; that was required. An embrace from a woman was taboo as well, because it was, but no one knew why. All thoughts were directed to the Goddess and the perfection of their worship no distractions were permitted.

In the Temple it was all rules, behaviours, the need to perfect transference was paramount, the single focus. Luckily unlike some, she and her sister were never the most promising, so they were given ever menial tasks and were watched less and less. This allowed them more and more freedom to explore the temple and be generally more inquisitive, as long as they went about their explorations quietly; silence being well prized and secretly.

She followed Charis and Astera to the last room on the ground floor of the Inn and was about to walk in when she heard Astera order her Mistress! Clymene stopped walking any closer, confused. How could Astera order her Mistress? It was Astera who told her and her sister about what oath taking meant and to obey your Mistress was the first understanding. This was easy to accept because in Temple a priestess would never accept an order from a lessor one, why would Charis? Did Clymene misunderstand who was the leader? Her and her sister swore their oath to Charis, she was Mistress.

As she listened to be sure, she heard unusual sounds; there wasn’t any violence or hurt in them, although she wasn’t sure what they were. She gently opened the door to glimpse into the room; it was mostly in darkness as the single lantern was now focused on the bed.

She needed to find out what was going on, she needed to know, it was like being at Temple, her and her sister always looking around to satisfy their curiosity. She was able to sneak in and close the door behind her without either noticing, they were busy. Both Charis and Astera were naked and kissing each other and then they moved into other positions and pleasures that Clymene didn’t even know about. They were never permitted to touch their own bodies let alone the bodies of others in the Temple. She was shocked, was this actually what people, women did outside of Temple?

She needed to leave the room this wasn’t right. She was shocked and caught half way in and half way out and they could change position and see her any moment. She silently positioned herself against the far wall in a dark corner near the windows curtains. Her hands shook nervously. It was one of the reasons she didn’t go out the door, she would have fumbled the doorknob for sure she thought. Calm, be calm she told herself. It was just another discovery, unexpected to be sure; as sisters though they were ever inquisitive, this discovery was just more shocking than any others.

She could wait them out, as a Seer, patience was a well earnt. She would draw the curtains across her face to block her eyes from seeing and then she would hear a pleasurable sound. She started to touch herself in the places they were touching each other, she needed, yearned to know. It took some time and experimentation before she discovered exactly what they were enjoying. She almost voiced her self-pleasure by accident, holding quiet by ceasing just prior and thinking of her sister. If she was discovered, what would happen to her and her sister, how would she explain?

Astera and Charis finally finished, dressed and left the room. Clymene need to finish what she discovered. She let out a small yelp of pleasure, which completely surprised her as the pleasure spread across her body in a ripple amazing her, her knees weak, she slid slowly to the floor. Closing her eye lids on her eyes that were rolled back involuntarily as she became overcome by this new experience. She wished to share this discovery with her sister as they shared all their discoveries, so she imagined telling her and when recalling what occurred in her own mind, it happened again.

Alcmene was good at being silent, the same as Clymene. When Clymene left the room she waited a good while before she became concerned because the Inn was small compared to a Temple and her sister told her she was visiting Charis quickly and would then return. In the Temple it was all rules, behaviours, the need to perfect transference was paramount, the single focus. Luckily unlike some, she and her sister were never the most promising, so they were given ever menial tasks and were watched less and less. The freedom they both enjoyed now was difficult to understand, although Clymene seemed to be doing alright, especially when she saved Mistress from wounding if not death.

Alcmene decided if Clymene could check on things then so could she. She wanted to check on Thyia, after today’s blood bath, she knew of people who couldn’t survive certain things and wanted to make sure if Thyia needed someone to talk to, Alcmene was willing to listen. So she went to her room and knocked on the door gently. It swung open easily at her knocking so she went in. The lantern was turned down low and although it was dark there didn’t seem to be anyone in the room. She then heard voices coming towards the room. What would she say to explain herself being in Thyia’s room? Instinct took over she needed to hide, in the Temple when they went about their explorations, hiding was the better option, instead of being found. So she went to the darkest corner with the window curtains offering additional cover, slipping behind them quickly and silently.

“Shall we go to my room or your room?”

“How about both rooms! My room first!” Dione giggled.

Dione and Thyia entered the room.

“Oh how romantic, the lights turned down!” exclaimed Dione as she shut the door behind her.

Thyia undressed and flopped on the bed, soon followed by Dione.

“You worried me today.” Dione pushed some of Thyia’s long black hair away from her face, so she could see into her big brown eyes, there was just enough light.

“I know I worried myself, but thrashing, stabbing on that trapper I was able to release. All my horrible experiences came flooding out, their treatment of me, they were considering just killing me and talked about it openly in front of me, I was a problem, the men wanted to use me and then kill me, my utter helplessness. I feel the better for it, even if the trapper probably doesn’t.” said Thyia soberly.

“I was loved by Charis and Otonia so they brought me gently out of my dark place.” Dione then kissed Thyia. “Perhaps I can help you further.” Her kiss was returned.

“None of your captivity was your fault, you were powerless. It took me some time to realise this myself, but with help and love from my new sisters I was able to come back, you can to.”

“Oh Dione, I am so sorry for you,” Thyia hugged her.

“I am here to help you aren’t I?” returning the hug.

“Yes, but I can understand, I know.” as she nibbled on Dione’s earlobe.

“My sisters have helped me, although when I found you the same as I was I let the anger back in a little. I returned there to face my final fear, for closure and since they were taking another two I thought we were saving them before they faced my experience.” She paused to run her fingers through Thyia’s hair, “Instead I was too late because you were there; I wished I could have saved you when they first took you, like Otonia, Alcmene and Clymene. I couldn’t, so the best I can do now is help, since I know what you have been through.”

“I am thankful; I am not sure how much longer I could have lasted. I cannot imagine being there for much longer.” wept Thyia.

“You must believe you are strong because you survived. Charis survives; we survive because although physically weak, we are strong in mind. Charis thinks, she expects us to think as well, blind rage is unacceptable. Control your anger and focus it to be better, to learn, train and observe.”

“I know, I am on my last chance, so I need to be mindful of my behaviour and hold back my feelings for revenge.”

“Do not hold back your feelings, recast them, focus them in a controlled way and most importantly take the time to think before you act.”

“I will. My thought now though is to ask you to kiss me again.”

They soon explored each other bodies, Dione leading the way as the more experienced, although younger. Alcmene was exploring the same areas on her own body following teacher Dione’s spoken instructions as she explained feminine mysteries to Thyia. They were forbidden any such familiarisation in the Temple; they were busy being trained in Seer ways. Alcmene was wonderfully surprised by the pleasure. She forced back a moan of pleasure by thinking of her sister and biting her bottom lip. She didn’t know what would happen if she was discovered.

She managed by seeking her sister in her mind’s eye to distract herself further as she couldn’t stop, exploring her own body. It took a great deal of concentration and silence, a Temple lesson. Thyia and Dione were resting, which helped. She remembered how and replayed her actions in her mind and that feeling of pleasure drew her back to her body and she realised her mistake when her passion went out of control, going beyond pleasure, her body clenching. Her mind directed the release, not to her voice or her body; her release was channelled along the thin almost wispy mind link to her twin established earlier during a calmer moment. She felt momentarily robbed, she missed something extraordinary, but she was still safe and undiscovered because she didn't make a noise.

Their Seer link had never been strong between them as they needed to be healthy, in total silence and not to feel the pressure of their Seer instructors for any thoughts to be shared. They were considered a failure because their link was so wistful and fragile. They weren’t in Temple now so one of those three didn’t matter.

Eventually Thyia and Dione left and went to Dione’s room to continue. Alcmene felt the pleasure return, she didn’t have to do anything to herself, she just felt it, it was wonderful and ended in a pleasure that rippled across her whole body. She savoured the pleasure for a moment more and then went to the door, listening for any sounds and hearing none. She opened the door slightly and then more until she could slip out of the room. She closed the door behind her.

She heard voices coming up the stairs. Was she allowed to wander the Inn? Probably not, maybe she could? To be safe she quickly listened at the nearest door and hearing no sounds, opened the door and slipped into the room. Luckily they were all identical and she hid in the same corner as Thyia’s room. As she listened, the voices past the room she was hiding in and as she was about to move, the door opened. Otonia entered the room followed by Charis. They were soon naked and giving and taking pleasure as if they were very familiar with each other’s ideal pleasure points.

Alcmene was self-pleasuring she couldn’t resist this new discovery. Then a knock on the door and she heard Otonia whisper to Charis.

“I will answer; I think this is my room isn’t it?”

“Come in.” she said.

Dione walked in and closed the door behind her. Alcmene was sure she would be discovered and went still and absolutely quite her own pleasuring forgotten due to fear of discovery.

“I think Thyia will be alright for now. She realised she let her mind go, although it was probably her way to begin the road to healing.” As she was saying this she was undressing and when naked joined Charis and Otonia. Alcmene was never privy to such carnal pleasure in the Temple, this was unheard of, never seen; she was overawed by what she was seeing, what she was feeling and what she was experiencing. How was she to escape without making a sound as just thinking and knowing what pleasure they were experiencing drove her to ecstasy? In desperation she tried to calm herself. She fails too many emotions too many feelings, fear just across the room from her. She shouts in her mind to her sister in desperation she is on the verge of panic and ready to scream with her voice.

Clymene was creeping towards the stairs when she felt the pleasure wash over her. If she didn’t already know what it was from her earlier discovery she would have screamed in ecstasy. As it was she bit her lip, her whole body went rigid, trapped by the pleasure. She only just managed to lean against a wall in time before she fell to the floor. It passed but she was tired and sat and rested a while praying to Saph no one would discover her. With effort she stood, she needed to get back to their room she needed to tell Alcmene. As she took the first step up, her sister’s mind assaulted her, panic, fear, desperation, dread, worry and distress. Her first reply was calm, she was there with her, combing her hair, hugging her warmly, they were one they would always be one, what she faced they would face together. Their love was stronger than the world.

Alcmene heard the most important words; their love was stronger than the world, all the rest mattered but this mattered most. Then they were talking to each, starting to relay what each other discovered. Then they paused dumbstruck.

After sometime Alcmene realised the three lovers in the room were entwined and exhausted. She took this chance to quietly move to the door. Listening to hear if anyone was in the hallway, she quickly opened the door, slid through and closed the door. Sometimes even if you awaken someone, if the room was as they expected they didn’t really register that anything happened.

She then felt a hand over her mouth, but knew who it was instinctively, almost naturally and was actually comforted by her touch.

“Me.”

“I know.” she whispered in reply.

Alcmene knew at once it was Clymene, she was in contact with her and she turned to embrace her. Then realising where they were they rushed to their room. They started talking and then realised they didn’t need to.

“I have experienced feelings I never knew existed. I am shocked and delighted at the same time! I think it is wonderful!” gasped Clymene.

“I know!” Alcmene replied, her voice deepening in lustful recollection.

They compared their experiences. Clymene thought she would not make it up the stairs as a great pleasure washed over her and she needed to grasp the wall to prevent her collapsing on the floor! Alcmene thought it must have been her; she was pleasuring herself while watching Charis, Otonia and Dione make love and she couldn’t make a sound so she sent it away using their twin link, which must have transferred her pleasure to Clymene.

They then lay beside each other and remembered the most wonderful pleasures they witnessed and pleasured themselves. They managed to transfer their pleasure to each other, first Alcmene received her sister’s pleasure on top of her own and her entire body rocked and convulsed. Then Alcmene added her pleasure to Clymene and Clymene’s body rocked and convulsed. They were both exhausted. They smiled at each other and slept naked beside each other, never happier with themselves.

When they talked earlier using their Seer link is was familiar but required concentration all the same. Once they shared self-pleasure it improved, but they both knew what would improve it more and probably faster. Even so in one evening their Seer link, their Twin link was strong, they needed to concentrate to maintain it but it was there! The hopeless pair, known as the Temple failures after twelve years of dedication and worship, where no longer failures and in their linked minds they were determined to excel, they were going to be the best Seers they could be. What really made this journey worthwhile in their eyes was their Mistress would benefit from their talent. They did worry about how they could forfill their oath to her, but now they knew how.

---

They were woken when Astera knocked on their door and threw it open.

“Time to get you two out of bed and break your fast!” she took a double look, “Oh and get dressed.” Even Astera was somewhat surprised as these girls were very frightened and very shy only yesterday and now lay naked in an Inn Room!

As they slowly sat up they realised that Astera was admiring them from the doorway. What was not to admire they were two of the same although one with shoulder length black hair and the other with none. Their breasts were not as full as Otonia’s but they were firm and shapely.

They spoke in unison.

“Why don’t you close the door and try and get us out of this bed?” they pouted seductively.

Astera was deciding and then she slowly closed the door and walked over to the bed. Clymene remembered what Astera liked from watching Charis last night so she wasted no time targeting those special places, while Alcmene undressed her to provide the access. Once she was undressed she was like one mind with her sister, because they actually were; their link strong and easily formed and they drove Astera quickly to climax.

They were very pleased with themselves and as Astera was about to boss them out of bed they called no fair, so Astera dallied a little longer to repay them. She was surprised when the other sister climaxed letting out a yelp of pleasure and not the one she was tending to! They then took it easy on Astera, waving her confusion away, quickly dressing her and helping her with her armour. They all walked to the common room together with smiles on their faces.

Alcmene and Clymene talked about the difference that made while they were in conversation with their warrior-sisters, all breaking their fast.
