As Ashuir carefully closed the door Ayar snapped her fingers, and the room's defenses went to full strength almost immediately cutting it off from the rest of the mansion and the world. And, from what Ashuir could sense, the laboratory's good defenses had been further strengthened. As soon as it happened, the oldest witch of the southern lands, with the face and body of a young girl, beckoned the sorceress to her with a graceful gesture.

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:32

"Come here, my dear, and let us have a good look at you."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:32

Nodding, Ashuir approached the witches seated at the table and with a few smooth movements removed her dark silk robes, laying them on a separate table. Dropping her shoes, she approached the witches seated at the table barefoot, straightening up and freezing in front of them. The eyes of the matriarch and her companions immediately lit up with magical light, and they began to scrutinize the naked sorceress. At Ayar's command, Ashuir slowly turned her back to them, feeling the lightest of influences on her subtle body. Once again ordering the sorceress to turn her face, the matriarch of the Coven smiled and said in a satisfied voice:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:33

"The last time I saw you, you were just a girl whose gift had just begun to emerge. But now you've blossomed into a beautiful girl. A true Daughter of the Desert. And now it's time for you to fulfill your duty to the Coven."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:34

The sorceress immediately realized what the matriarch was talking about. Well, it was expected. It was even strange that it happened only now. Smiling, the still-naked Ashuir briefly bowed to the guests and said:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:36

"I am ready to fulfill it, Mother Ayar."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:37

Another slight smile touched the ancient witch's lips.

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:37

"I never doubted Zaikhira's granddaughter for a second. You can get dressed, my dear."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:37

Ashuir's grandmother, who was also watching her granddaughter intently as she dressed, turned to the matriarch of the Coven and said in a polite voice:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:38

"Mother Ayar, I must say that your visit came as a complete surprise to us. Had you given us advance notice, we could have made some preparations for your arrival. So..."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:38

With a graceful gesture, the matriarch interrupted Zaikhir's speech halfway through and turned to her. Her young face turned serious:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:39

"There was no need for that, my dear Zaikhir. Especially since you wouldn't have been able to prepare properly anyway."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:41

The grandmother and her dressed granddaughter looked at Ayar and raised their eyebrows in surprise. The matriarch nodded to her companion, whose hair was already showing its first gray strands, and she said in a calm voice:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:42

"The Coven has been very fortunate. We've managed to find a gifted descendant of Raistar. Young and still in good health. Our trackers found him just in time, a few more months and he would have been useless to us."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:42

There was silence in the magical laboratory. Hearing these words, Ashuir and Zaikhir understood everything at once, and the grandmother of the sorceress became visibly gloomy. She stared at the matriarch of the Coven and slowly said:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:43

"Mother Ayar, Ashuir must have a child with a man who bears very specific blood patterns so that her granddaughter's gift will be even more powerful and predisposed to Mind Magic. Reistar, and even more so his remaining descendants, do not possess them, they are a completely different branch, a completely different predisposition. If Ashuir were to bear a gifted child, a boy even, from any of them, it would break the cycle and undo the work of six generations of the Daughters of the Desert. All the effort that has been expended, all the progress we have made will be lost, and we will be set back two hundred years at the very least."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:44

The Matriarch sighed heavily, looked at Zaikhir carefully, and said in an extremely serious voice:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:44

I understand that perfectly well, my dear Zaikhir. The whole Coven understands it. But we have no other options, and the decision has been made unanimously. You know as well as I do the curse of the Black Blood that has fallen upon the Lord of the Dark Tower and all his kind. And how difficult it is to find a living, gifted male descendant of Raistar who can conceive an equally gifted and viable child. We still have hope of success only because the lust of the Lord of the Dark Tower was as powerful as he was. If he hadn't had over a hundred offspring in his vast harem, the curse would have wiped them all out long ago.

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:51

Shifting her gaze to Ashuir, the matriarch continued:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:52

"This is the first really promising descendant we've found in eighty years. It may well be our last chance, and we won't find any others, because the curse is doing its work. If we lose it, our hope of gaining control of the Dark Tower will become quite elusive. And with it, the hope of rebuilding the Great Desert."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:53

Pressing her lips together, Zaikhir glanced at her granddaughter, then back at the matriarch:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:54

"But why Ashuir? There were other bloodlines being pedigreed under the possible descendant of Raistar. Khafer and Saal were specifically for that purpose..."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:54

The third of the witches who had been silent until then said in a quiet and polite voice:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:55

"I understand your feelings, Zaikhir. And I know how much effort and labor our predecessor sisters put into nurturing and breeding a line predisposed to Mind Magic. How hard it was to find suitable fathers and conceive children from them. But as it happens, of all the Daughters of the Desert, Ashuir is the most suitable candidate to be a mother. If we had at least five years, we could have prepared the other two sisters who are still girls. But we cannot wait. Our sisters, skilled in healing, have done what they can and weakened the curse's effect on the young man. But it won't last long. When our trackers found him, his gift was already formed and awakened, and he began to use it little by little. It awakened the Curse, and it began to consume him. Our sisters were able to slow the process down, but not enough to prepare new candidates in time."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:56

Pausing, she leaned over to her increasingly gloomy companion and said in a voice full of sympathy:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 15:57

"Zaikhir, we've double-checked and calculated everything. We matched all the blood patterns. We've taken all the calculations with us so you can see for yourself. Ashuir has the highest compatibility of any Daughter of the Desert. And the highest chance of carrying and giving birth to a fully healthy, gifted child with Reistar's curse-free blood in his veins."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 17:35

"How high?" Zaikhir asked in a strained voice.

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 17:35

"Five to one. This is the best chance we've had in the three centuries since we managed to find one of the great-grandsons of the Lord of the Dark Tower. We just can't let it go."

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 17:37

The matriarch of the Coven leaned forward toward the sorceress' grandmother:

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 17:37

"Zaikhir, my dear, I understand perfectly well what you fear,” Ayar said affectionately, looking into her eyes.

Camrad_RIP 27.04.24 в 17:38

"We all know very well how dangerous the curse of the Black Blood is, and what it threatens both the child and the mother. But over the past centuries and past attempts, we have accumulated vast experience, paying a high price for it. Now we can be guaranteed to avoid most of the negative effects, and almost completely stop the rest. For both mother and child."

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:41

Zayhir wanted to say something else, but Ashuir, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke up, raising her palm:

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:41

"Grandma, there is no need to argue. If this is the decision of the Coven, I am ready to carry it out. And I understand perfectly well what is at stake and know how important it is for the Coven."

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:36

The four silent witches looked at her carefully, after which the matriarch of the coven said with a barely noticeable smile:

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:37

"We did not expect anything else from the true Daughter of the Desert."

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:37

Getting up, she approached Ashuir and hugged her affectionately:

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:37

"The whole Coven is counting on you, my dear. And each of the sisters will do everything in her power to help you."

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:38

Squeezing the sorceress encouragingly by the shoulders, Ayar said:

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:38

"We will prepare everything and carry it out right here in your home. Since your gift is not tied to the land like ours, you will not need to travel to the Heart of the Desert to conceive a child. Although, of course, it would not be superfluous..."

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:39

"Mother Ayar, it’s late now, and Ashuir had a difficult day today. Just like you, I suppose. Therefore, I propose to discuss all the details and begin preparations tomorrow, but now let’s have dinner and go to bed,” the resigned Zayhir interrupted the matriarch.

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:40

Everyone supported the sorceress’s grandmother’s proposal, and the five Daughters of the Desert left the laboratory. Dinner was already ready, and as soon as everyone was seated at the table, silent servants began serving dishes. Ashuir, sitting next to her grandmother, noted that there were more Sakaribs in the house. Ayar hardly brought less than a dozen with her. Of course, even far from her home, a powerful witch could protect herself from most of the threats. But under the protection of blades and white eyes that saw a lot, it was more reliable.

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:45

On the occasion of the arrival of unexpected and very important guests, the cooks in the mansion did their best, preparing a real feast. Lots of fruits, both fresh and candied. A wide variety of river and sea fish. Roasted poultry, both domestic and wild. As well as various wines, both local and overseas. And Ashuir’s favorite fruit juices, chilled in enchanted jugs. Over a leisurely meal, Zayhir asked her granddaughter:

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:46

"Did you buy anything today?"

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:46

Taking a sip of fruit juice, the sorceress nodded:

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 06:47

"A couple of gifted children, a boy and a girl. If we work on them properly, they will be beneficial. Especially a girl."

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 08:19

"Well. Fresh, talented blood is always good. We’ll have to examine them tomorrow,” Ayar said, popping a candied apple slice into her mouth.

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 08:20

"I have no doubt since Ashuir said that it would be useful, then it will be so..."

Camrad_RIP 28.04.24 в 08:21

The conversation continued on distracted topics. They discussed news from the Heart of the Desert and shared local gossip. After a long dinner, when it was already late at night, Ashuir said goodbye to the important guests, leaving them in her grandmother's care. The sorceress headed to her chambers. As she closed the doors behind her, Ashuir glanced at Zitra sitting motionless at her dressing table. The elven woman was dressed in a single bright blue pair of semi-transparent pants and dainty red shoes. Her top was completely bare. Behind her, Otong sat and diligently massaged Zitra's already noticeably larger breasts. With rhythmic movements, he stroked and squeezed her tits with hardened nipples that glistened in the light of the magic lamps from the special oil. Tonga stood to the side of them and gently brushed the elf's snow-white hair, which also became longer, even thicker, and shinier. Admiring the scene, Ashuir closed her eyes and focused on Zitra, who was now semi-conscious. Quickly ensuring that all the settings and restraints in her head were stable, Ashuir ran through her memories of today. Ah, I've never gotten around to doing anything about her. Well, there was no hurry, especially now. The sorceress kicked off her shoes walked over to the bed and collapsed on it without undressing. Staring at the ceiling, she yawned sweetly and stretched. What a day...
