In one of the magical laboratories of the Secret Guard, in the center of two ritual circles stood two medical chairs originally designed for women in labor. Unlike ordinary chairs, they had special supports and footrests to keep their legs tucked in and wide enough apart, as well as a reclining backrest. In one of them sat Sivila, in the other the Elder Enchantress. Both powerful elven women were naked, and around them numerous magical symbols shone brightly in the air, forming a single powerful and complex weave of analyzing charms. Particular attention was paid to the lower lips of both elven women on display. Leaning back in a comfortable and maximally comfortable chair, Mirael said in a philosophical voice:

Camrad_RIP 18.08.24 в 19:59

"I never thought I'd be in the delivery chair again so soon....."

Camrad_RIP 18.08.24 в 20:00

Sivila, sitting next to her, answered her in the same philosophically indifferent voice:

Camrad_RIP 18.08.24 в 20:00

"I never thought I'd be in the delivery chair again. And for such an occasion."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:57

"Have you ever considered the possibility of having a sixth child?"

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:56

"Not in the next thousand years. It would take a great deal of effort and sacrifice to beg such a thing from Gaia. Both on my part and on the part of my dear husband."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:50

"He contacted me yesterday, by the way. Another raid by the Outer Corps was successful, with no casualties, but some wounded."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:51

"It is encouraging to hear that my husband is not sitting idle either, but is working with all his might for the benefit of the Forest....."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:52

The casual conversation between two naked elven women, sitting in medical chairs with their legs wide apart, was interrupted by a synchronized and especially bright flash of magical symbols. After that, they were extinguished at once, as well as the ritual circles on the floor of the laboratory. The silent Queen and the Elder Enchantress looked at Ziandar leading the inspection. He removed from his head the magical tiara and the special eyepieces that allowed him to see the smallest details of the weaves and subtle bodies:

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:54

"Clear." He said.

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:54

Outwardly, Sivila didn't react in any way to those words. But her heart twitched involuntarily. The queen bowed her head slightly and said in a calm and indifferent voice:

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:56

"I'm glad to hear that. Astra, I'm going to need you to help me get dressed."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:56

The queen's bodyguard nodded silently and helped her mistress first out of the chair and then into the green, closed dress. Next to her, Mirael dressed herself, as she had last time, rising into the air above the floor unaided. One had to admit, the way her clothes flew up to her and dressed itself looked quite spectacular. It also took a lot less time. By the time Sivila had gotten herself into the minimum required appearance, Mirael had already had time to get herself completely cleaned up. As she approached the masters of magic gathered around the wide work table, the queen spoke a single word:

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:59

"How?"

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:54

Ziandar, who was once again in charge of the survey, sighed tiredly and began his report:

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 13:59

"For the first time, our opponent got his way through a combination of extreme simplicity of impact, power, and narrow concentration..."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:00

“I remember your analogies,” the queen interrupted Ziandar, ”chainmail and needle, extreme concentration, and so forth. We've taken additional defenses. How did he get past our defenses this time?”

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 09:51

With a twitch of his long ear, the master of the Branding School patiently continued:

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 09:52

"I was just getting to that. This time he achieved it through a very complex technique: local synchronization of the lower edge of the middle part of the subtle body, which led to resonance ..."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 09:53

Ziandar faltered, sighed tiredly, and made a pass with his hand. Dimensional images of three thin bodies appeared above the table where everyone was gathered. Sivila, Mirael, and Tiantrel. The necessary areas in the crouch of three of them were highlighted in red light. After pointing at them, the master of the School of Branding continued in a clearer language:

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 09:54

"He adjusted his aura, or rather the aura of the Tiantrel he controlled, to match your auras. To be precise, just this section, so the changes would not be noticeable. And he copied it very precisely. So precise, in fact, that it achieved complete synchronization. It's very difficult to do that, but if you can do it, that kind of synchronization allows you to bypass most defenses. And at the right moment, it caused a resonance, which, in turn, caused you to feel like you'd been twisted...."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 09:55

"I understand you,” Sivila interrupted Ziandar again.

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:01

Outwardly, the queen was completely impassive. But only outwardly. For a few seconds, she stared intently at all three projections of subtle bodies. Then, carefully choosing her words, the queen asked:

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:01

"He copied part of my thin body?"

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 10:00

"Yes."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 09:55

"How did he do it despite all my defenses? It was supposed to hide my aura from him, wasn't it?"

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 10:03

Wrinkling his nose, Ziandar nodded to his fellow artifact specialist:

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:52

"Due to the combination of the head part of the Tiantrel “structure” and the figurine. We can now say for sure that they reinforce each other, and by multiples. Thereby allowing him to hear and see far more than we had previously realized. We could have easily prevented it but couldn't block the figure completely. Otherwise, the conversation wouldn't take place. Besides, he didn't synchronize his entire subtle body, but only a small part of it."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:53

"I heard you, thank you. This technique he used. How difficult is it?"

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:53

"Creating such a synchronization of subtle bodies, under such conditions, and in such a time? This can be considered a master's certification for the School of the Senses."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:02

"How interesting. Our opponent never ceases to amaze us. Tell me, honorable ones, how dangerous can such exposure be?"

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:51

"Very dangerous. The effect can be fatal. But this requires synchronization of key parts of subtle bodies."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:51

Another pass of his hand, and other areas lit up on the projections, mostly around the heart, head, and along spine.

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:51

"But in your case, there was no threat. We checked everything thoroughly, the impact was extremely sensitive and also extremely concentrated and narrowly focused, just like last time."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:50

"I'm glad to hear that. Can I be sure, honorable ones, that this will not happen a third time?"

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:50

The answer was an awkward silence, which was a very telling response. Ziandar took the floor again trying to make himself look as confident as possible:

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:49

"We will do everything we can to ensure it doesn't happen again. We will draw the necessary conclusions and apply all necessary precautions."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:49

His answer was a very meaningful look from the queen, who arched an eyebrow in a practiced motion:

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:41

"I heard you say that last time."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:40

Many magic masters twitched the tips of their ears but said nothing, thus acknowledging their failure.

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:40

"And I really hope that next time, it really will be enough."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:40

Turning to the Elder Enchantress, Sivila uttered:

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:39

"I've heard all I need to hear. I will disturb you no further, honorable masters of magic."

Camrad_RIP 20.08.24 в 18:39

After exchanging farewells, the Queen left the laboratory where she and Mirael were being examined after her conversation with the Master. The Secret Guard agent waiting outside the door nodded silently and escorted her to Third's office. There, Sivila was already waiting. Astra stayed outside and the queen went inside. The master of the office was sitting at his desk, carefully reading the documents spread out in front of him. In addition to them, several crystals with imprinted images lay beside him, and there was an artifact mirror for communication. When the queen took her seat beside him and the defenses of his office were fully activated, the head of the Secret Guard spoke in a steady voice, still reading the scroll:

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:10

"Last time he achieved it with extreme simplicity, this time he used a very complex and sophisticated technique. That's interesting."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:08

"Which is it? The fact that he managed to make fools of us twice, or the way he did it?"

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:07

"Everything."

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:06

Tearing himself away from reading the document, Third put it aside and leaned back in his chair, folding his arms in front of him:

Camrad_RIP 19.08.24 в 14:05

"The more we learn about our opponent, the more unanswered questions I have about him. And I don't like those unanswered questions. He's a master of Mind Magic from several different schools. Classical, Puppet, a previously unknown mix of the School of Branding and Tatuaje. And he's proficient at the Magister level, and that's the least of it. Quite a solid set, which in itself raises a lot of questions. It is impossible to master all these Schools in one place, simply because no place teaches all these Schools."
