《Calf the Furless (First Edition)》Interlude I: The Masters Plan

A few minutes after the 8th Trial...
The circumstances of Calf's failure in the 8th Trial provoked action from those known as 'The Garbs'. One among the highest of their numbers approached the various masters of the citadel and called for a meeting to decide the way forward. The Final Rites would be expedited and they had less than 3 hours to get everything in order. With the message conveyed and the messenger departed, the preparations for the rites began in earnest.
Those available to attend the Testers' planning session had convened at the gazebo to share their thoughts on the testing procedure. This would be the first year in all of their lifetimes that such a testing would occur. All but one of the testers were in attendance so they decided to continue with the session. The junior archivist in attendance would just have to write a second, condensed set of minutes for the Warden's benefit.

An hour after the 8th Trial...
The session lasted for three quarters of an hour and just as they were about to conclude, a rumble of thunder above them caught their attention, and this was followed by a bolt that descended to the center. Forced to blink away the lingering effects of the flash, most of them missed the second figure that had briefly appeared in front of them. The first to clear the temporary blindness noticed a prostrated Warden struggle to his feet, whilst the rest caught up to the sight at different stages of his recovery.
They all waited patiently for him to get up before the Head of Crafts looked a question at him. Of those gathered here today, only he and one other would dare ask anything of the Warden after such a vulnerable display. The Warden dodged explaining and instead gestured for the junior archivist to pass him the minute scroll. He nodded as he read through the scroll and ignited it once he was done with it. His staff morphed into a bow with a shake of his hand, and then produced an arrow pouch from the folds of his long hair. With his archery set complete, he lifted it high, presenting it to all present before vocalizing his portion of the test for the junior archivist to note.

Falling For A Man Of The City
He stood up momentarily discarding his shirt, eliciting a small moan from me at the sight of his physique. His body would always take my breath away at the black ink and scars littered holding a story of their own. When my eyes moved down past his pectoral muscles to his pants I felt my breath hitch in my throat at the view of his manhood straining against the fabric. If I didn't feel shy with the way he was admiring me, I certainly felt shy when he reached out to remove my underwear. It was the first time I had ever allowed anyone to see a part of my body that I had been taught to guard fiercely so it was only natural that I look away feeling self-conscious. Considering I wasn't making any effort to hide it, he chuckled lightly making me blush when he went further to spread my thighs gently unveiling the secret that I had been yearning for him to see. "You have such a pretty pussy," were the words that came out as more of a growl. Turning to look at him, I found his eyes already watching me causing my chest to constrict in sweet agony, "I'm going to enjoy eating you, my little gazelle," he cooed gently falling to his knees in a prayer like motion. Only this form of prayer was far beyond holy but aimed to please and was sacred in its own way... ***When Aaliyah Winston waltzed into the city of New York in search of a new life, unexpectedly she is thrust into a world. She gains more than she bargained for once she catches the eye of the leader of the Mafia. Drenched in decadence and an allure that has her throwing all caution aside, he proves to be more than meets the eye. As they indulge in an attraction so powerful and addictive surpassing that of any drug it's in their aim for love, when family secrets and lies are exposed. It's quite a risk to allow a man like him into her bed. Yet the true test of whether they'll survive lies if she can accept hands that have been painted in blood holding her heart.
