Round 15

Jeane summons a shadow dome in the church hall. "This will shield us from casual observers." Silra remains skeptical. "We're still in a public church—this is risky." Jeane smiles. "The danger adds thrill. What's your plan?"

Silra steps back. "I'm exhausted from earlier activities—I need rest before more... rituals." Jeane traces Silra's jawline with a claw. "Our ritual requires only presence and intention—no physical exertion needed." Silra crosses arms. "Show me this miraculous ritual."

Jeane spreads wings, humming low. Shadow tendrils caress Silra's legs upward. "Feel the energy—let it flow through you." Silra gasps softly. "Fuck—this is intense. I thought you said no physical demand?" Jeane steadies her.* "The emotional and spiritual effort matters. Focus on sensation, project outward."

Silra nods shakily, concentrating hard. "Okay... sending out these waves..." Ripples appear in the shadow dome—visible evidence of their ritual's effect. "Excellent work!" Jeane lowers the dome slightly. "Our first test subject has arrived." Silra tries to step away. "Wait—shouldn't we stop before someone walks in?"

Jeane guides Silra toward the edge of the dome. "This is why we've been working so hard. Now we'll see if our efforts have borne fruit." Clarice enters with three women—two humans and another elf. "Ah—excellent recruitment indeed! It seems our little ritual has already begun to work its magic."

Silra feels horror and fascination. "This is wrong on so many levels. We can't just..." Jeane silences her with a finger to the lips. "Shh—watch and learn the true power of corruption." The shadow tendrils pulse with renewed energy.

Outside, Clarice explains something to the newcomers while they look around confused. "Welcome, my new sisters! Come—join us in our sacred circle." Silra watches in growing horror and reluctant arousal as the women approach their barrier. "We have to stop this. This isn't right—we're manipulating them against their will!"

Jeane's eyes gleam with triumph. "My dear elf—you still don't understand. We're not manipulating them; we're awakening something..."
