Dualism
Chapter 3: Psy
I have always looked forward to my time in Aeon's dining area. Good food, good ambiance and right now, good company. My little circle of friends has grown. Seated to my right was Lilith, the love of my life, a succubus, who always had her grubby paws on me everywhere I went. Yelena, the fiery souled Dragoness ate her fill to my left. Across me were best friends Sylvia, a beautiful High Elf and her little feral Tigress buddy who I just recently saved from Psy control, Adrianna. I wish my stay in Aeon would always be as peaceful as this but since the last fight in Astral I have been on my guard.
Ares had given me a mental warning. He spoke of danger but could not say more. Even then I was grateful to him. In public, the God of War would always seek to humiliate and belittle me. In truth, he was the best teacher that I had. His lessons were simple. Get stronger. Survive. So, he let fists and weapons do the talking. It was all about battle experience. The more battles I fought, the better my chances of survival.
I dedicated all my free time in the Void Room sparring with Lilith. Apparently, I have this power to open a "door" in any wall or space of Asgard that acts like a "gate way" into my Void Room. This was my own personal room that allowed to me to freely control time and reality within its space. I could train for years inside and come out not having aged a minute and retain all the battle experience I earned.
Lilith turned out to be a truly devastating fighter. Continuously sparring with her was successful in bringing out my latent powers. I would have been thrilled had there been no warning of incoming danger.
The Bell rang. Time for Astral class.
Me and my little group were huddled together awaiting Ares's usual antics. The game continued. Despite the getting into higher ranks, having sparring partners such as Lilith and Yelena in the Void Room where time stopped gave me years of battle experience in what looked to be such as short period of time.
Here in Astral class there was a ranking system based on your battle capabilities. The challenges were stagnant till I came in. Fundamentally, one's capabilities did not increase in a short period of time so the ranks were fixed but since I had to start from last place, I fought day in and day out till I reached my current rank.
In my own right I was a Blade Master and an Elemental Master. Fighting Rank #28 to #21 was tedious. No longer a breeze, but worth it as I gained more experience fighting powerful veteran fighters. Earning Rank #21 was a graduation of sorts. Before the bell rang Ares called me out.
"Hey Loser! You may now start training your Psy. Your schedule shall be Astral the entire morning and Psy throughout the afternoon." Said Ares gruffly and walked away.
After lunch we all went to Psy Hall.
Psy Hall was totally different from Astral. It was peaceful here. Quiet. As most students were on the floor either meditating or locked into Mental Battle with someone else. I found Instructor Wong huddled together with some students. As I approached him, he waved me off and gestured to proceed to a room in the far end of the Hall. The other girls already went to their respective teachers. Only Lilith accompanied me there. I knocked. "Come in." Said a male voice that exuded sex in its tone. We entered and the room we found ourselves in was simple with minimal decor. "I am Eros. God of Seduction. I welcome you both." Said the handsome man clad in a Black suit and a red tie. "Oh no, I hate the stereo type of being Cupid! Skimpy robe, small wings with a bow and arrow made of hearts does not suit my taste! Now introduce yourselves and sit!" He chuckled. "I'm Loren." I said. "I'm Lilith".
Eros turned first to Lilith. "I am honored that one such as you would be here and I bid you congratulations my dear! I am truly happy for you."
"Thank you exalted One!" Lilith bowed with reverence before taking a seat.
"It seems Loren turned out to be a good Master for you, literally obliterating my image of you, Queen of Darkness, Aspect of Lust." Eros said with surprising awe and respect.
"Now Loren. The Great Mother Gaia has tasked me with training your Psy. I see why Wong stormed my office after meeting you. However powerful you are, its pains me to see you cannot use Psy to attack but only to defend. Yes, quite a fitting role for you indeed as this was his dilemma in the past too. I am referring to your predecessor Janus, the God of Duality. The Fallen Champion." Said Eros gravely.
"Janus died?" I asked in a whisper.
"Yes, he did. Gaia sent him on a Quest to fend off the coming Apocalypse where he succeeded at the cost of his life. He was one of Asgard's finest warriors second only to Ares. Janus was a jack of all trades if you might. As clichΓ© as it may sound, he was an expert at everything and a master of none. So, you my Child have a big role to fill and it starts now. I will break you out of your Psy limit and may you with Gaia's blessing, play a magnificent role in the coming Armageddon."
"Armageddon?"
"Yes. The end of all things. We are all warriors for Gaia. A war is coming. A war of survival for the Realms. The Tree Yggdrasil is wavering and soon the Realms will no longer be separated. The Dark ones will come and we will either perish or survive. You my child, is Asgard's hope of surviving. Gaia has entrusted this role to you."
"So, to kick start things your training begins now. You will use your Psy and your Psy alone to seduce all the women here in Aeon. Goddesses, demi-humans, humans all shall wet their pussies with your presence! You may not rape them. You may not use your Incubus powers for this." I saw Lilith visibly pale. I felt mutual anger within our bond, as to why I was being forced upon other women.
"Lilith, I thought more of you than that. Alas I am sorry for this" Eros said. He raised his hand and turned to her. Chanting powerful words, he completed it with a simple command. Lilith's eyes widened as Eros' voice boomed one ear shattering command: "BEGONE!". And she was. Lilith vanished before me. Her connection to me gone. I could not feel her. Even my Incubus powers left me. I was enraged. Failing to summon Astral I leaped for Eros' neck. He waved me off and I was back in my seat this time stuck to it.
"What have you done to her?!" I shouted at Eros.
"She is an abomination! So I destroyed her! You should be glad to be free of her hypnosis! Those vile chemicals destroying your mind making you a wanton sex slave for her to milk! I freed you!" Eros seethed with rage.
"That is not true! I love her!" I fought back.
"Do you? Truly? We will see. Now if you don't start doing what I asked. The life of that little frisky Dragon may just wink out of existence too." Eros plodded.
Shit! Shit! Shit! He took away my Lilith now he threatens the life of Yelena.
