Aithne's story part 53 - Our Little Secret (Don't worry, it's not an April Fools prank)

“Hmm. You’re not supposed to be here. This is a tricky one. What to do, what to do...”   The voice came from nowhere. Or everywhere. It was deep and rich and sounded faintly alarmed. Aithne blinked, although there was nothing to blink at – all around her was darkness. She felt nothing, saw nothing. She wasn't sure if she had actually blinked or had just imagined it as a sort of habitual response.   But she smelled something - the sweet scent of roses. She inhaled it even thou

Aithne's story part 42 - The Practical Application of Aslir’s Law

“How goes the studying?”   Aithne sighed and set the book down as Urag moved behind her and stroked her hair with his incongruously gentle hand. She closed her eye and allowed herself to sink into the moment, just for a bit, then opened it again and tapped the book in frustration.    “Why was it so much easier to read on my own than it is to read the same books for an assignment?”   Urag’s laugh turned into a surprised yell as Chonji zoomed past screaming something

Aithne's story part 51 - The Bells Sound for a Wedding Day

Everything was impossible.   The sky was impossibly clear. The sea was impossibly blue. The Observation Circle at the apex of the College of Winterhold was impossibly beautiful, boasting impossibly bright streamers and impossibly perfect flowers.   Aithne was impossibly happy. She had walked through a nightmare to end up in an impossible dream. Archmage Ervine spoke words but Aithne heard them only as if from a distance – all her attention was wrapped up in the orc who faced

Aithne's story part 50 - A Proposal for a Graduate of the College of Winterhold

“That was such a good speech! It made me want to go out and conquer the world! And the tribute for Savos was nice, even if I didn’t like him.”   Brelyna laughed. “You actually listened to it? I didn’t think anyone ever listened to graduation speeches!”   Onmund nodded as he stretched. “Yeah, I fell asleep.”   Aithne could not believe her ears. “Really? How could you fall asleep? This is so exciting!”   “For you, it is, J’zargo agrees,” agreed J’zargo. “You

Aithne's story part 52 - All That Glitters is an Illusion

Hollow. Empty. A shell. A husk. Devoid of substance, of thought beyond the festering wound of memories. All was lost; nothing carried meaning.   Aithne meandered through the silent suite, wading through a pool of despair so deep, it threatened to drown her. Only her traitorous body and its stubborn insistence on continuing to breathe kept her alive.   That and her so-called friends, who came by from time to time and insisted on making her eat and bathe and sleep.  

Aithne's story part 49 - Storm Clouds on the Horizon

Chtonji beamed as the cake was set in front on him and immediately grabbed for it.   “No.” Aithne took his hand and held it, laughing. “Not yet. First we need to crush the box. Right, Da Da?”   Urag, beaming from the other side of the table, nodded, picked up the small box on the side of the cake, and set it in front of Chtonji. He placed his hand on Aithne’s, which still held Chtonji’s, and said, “Ready?”   Aithne nodded, her attention fully on keeping the toddler’

Aithne's story part 54 - Professor Aithne gro-Shub

“Professor?”   Aithne shook her head at the mess on the table as she sorted the books. Things had changed so much in her time at the College, but students leaving their study material all over the place was one thing that remained…   “Professor!”   The insistent voice stopped Aithne’s thoughts in their tracks and she blinked and turned. Two students, both fourth-years, stood at the side of the table, watching her.   “Oh! Um. Sorry!” Aithne gave herself a l

Aithne's story part 48b - Labyrinthian part 2

When the first two draugr appeared, Atmah started to shout, “Watch out, they…” but before the words even left her throat, the draugr were dead. Trendil moved with a speed that belied belief, slicing one of the monsters into pieces with her swords while Sloan seemed to disappear from Aithne’s side and re-appear behind the already-slumping form of the second draugr. As the creature’s chest exploded and it crumbled, Atma finished, “…’re deceptively quick.” Atmah blinked at them. “Um…”   S

Aithne's story part 14 - Awake at Last

It couldn’t last, of course. Sound returned first. It began as a distant whistle and grew over time, as the cart jostled along narrow, rocky mountain roads. A faint breeze, a rushing wind, then a slight pop and she could hear once again.   From this crack, her shell quickly shattered and her other senses returned in full brutal force. She couldn’t hold back an audible cry as the pain from her half-healed wounds seemed to lance through every nerve her body contained all at once.

Aithne's story part 26 - Testing the Boundaries

Aithne’s eye followed the path inscribed on the floor, though she had long since memorized the parts of the pattern that were within her view. After all she had been through, standing behind a desk with nothing demanded of her while wearing a basic but comfortable college robe and shoes was a welcome circumstance, but it was not without its own discomforts. Her feet and back ached, neither helped by the stone floor nor her growing belly.   Not that she would ever say anything, of cours

Aithne's story part 37 - A Day Long Dreaded part 1

“…and Vetchoft will assist the staff today. Assisting the students will be Zikef, Le, Nors, Diwl, Riwson, Neblii, Fadne…”   The slave master’s voice droned on as he continued to read names from his notes but Neblii stopped listening once her name was spoken. Her heart flipped and her mind tuned out all other sounds and thoughts.   She had been assigned to the students several times in her five months (by her best estimate, although she wasn’t sure why she bothered trying to k

Aithne's story part 30 - New Beginning

Aithne slipped from the bath and dried, then put on the clean robes that waited near the bath cabinets. It had taken some time to find out where the laundry was done, but once she had found it, she had taken over that duty as well. As with the food, Urag cared little about what the robes he put on looked like. Also like the food, Aithne cared in his stead; his robes were now always free of stains and pressed. She made sure of it.   When she stepped out of the suite into the Arcaneum, s

Aithne's story part 48c - Labyrinthian part 3

The absolute terror in Atmah’s voice snapped Aithne back to her surroundings, a transition so quick her head spun a little. Or perhaps the dizziness was from the residual energy wafting through the closed door. Something was in there. Something…   “What is that?” The words slipped from her before she realized she had spoken. Atmah turned to her, all traces of anything but fear wiped from her face.   “That is Morokei, one of The Eight.” At their blank looks, she added, “He was

Chtonji beamed as the cake was set in front of him and immediately grabbed for it.   “No.” Aithne took his hand and held it, laughing. “Not yet. First we need to crush the box. Right, Da Da?”   Urag, beaming from the other side of the highchair, nodded, picked up the small box on the side of the cake, and set it in front of Chtonji. He placed his hand on Aithne’s, which still held Chtonji’s, and said, “Ready?”   Aithne nodded, but her attention was fully on the todd

Aithne's Story part 28 - Back to the Kitchen

Aithne woke with a feeling of slight panic. There was something she was supposed to do. Or supposed to have done. What was it?    She looked around the dark room. Nothing seemed amiss. Urag snored from the bed, a sound that always made Aithne smile a little only because it felt like an outward expression of the differences between her orc masters. Both had snored, but Urag’s was a gentle rumble. Borkul’s snores were like him – oversized and powerful. And difficult to sleep with.

Aithne's story part 17 - An Eye for Trouble

After three and a half days of travel with Sutfu and the other pilgrims – for pilgrims was what they purported to be – Aithne was on her last gasp of stamina. Every step on the steep mountain paths was torture in the spiked shoes and she was lagging behind the group when they made their fourth camp.   She slumped to the ground next to where Sutfu placed his bedroll and tried to enjoy the respite from movement, but her body was wracked with eponymous pain and she could not tell the diff

Aithne's story part 23 - Student Body

Aithne stood in the same spot as she had the day before, though this time she paid more attention to the room around her. If her past way of serving was not what her new Master wanted, she needed to know what was.   Although there was little to see that gave her a clue. It was the same as the day before – people (presumably students or teachers) came in, chose specific books or scrolls for no clear reason, then sat or stood or paced and read them. Sometimes someone would have several b

Aithne's story part 33 - Treading in Merky Waters

Merry (Early) Christmas! My gift to you: a chapter from each of my stories. Thanks for reading!   ____________________________________________________________________________________________   Aithne patted Chtonji’s back as she made her way past the Arcanaeum’s foyer, an open area made of very inflammable material where the students had taken to practicing smaller spells. The baby waved one arm and made an adorable cooing sound as he shifted, and Aithne smiled down at him. H

Aithne's story part 41 - A Day Out

“How are you feeling? You seem down.”   Aithne blinked and looked up from her book as Brelyna sat across from her. “Hm? Oh. Um. Fine. I guess.” She sighed. “It’s just…hard to be free. The world is too big. I don’t know how people cope with it.”   Brelyna laughed. “It’s only been a month. You’ll get used to it in time.”   “I know, it’s just…scary. I can’t face anything past each moment. When my mas…when I was freed, I went back with…with Urag…” she had to drag his na

Aithne's story part 27 - Accidental Runaway

“Sir?”   It had felt best to wait until the day was done to broach the subject so she wouldn’t interrupt Urag’s work, but now that they were alone in his quarters, Aithne wasn’t so sure. Perhaps he wouldn’t want to discuss it now. She cringed inwardly but held her ground – there was no going back now.   Urag didn’t look up from his stew. “Hm?”   “I…um…I have finished the book. You said to tell you when I was done.”   That did bring his attention away from

Aithne's story part 19 - Third Handoff

Aithne sat on the floor of the cage that encompassed a full third of the inn’s front porch and simply enjoyed not being weighed down by chains. Rorikstead, she decided, was her favorite town in Skyrim, at least so far. First, it was not one of the places she had visited with…Him (though the occurrences were less frequent and less severe after two weeks of distance, she still felt the familiar combined spark of hatred and longing shiver through her body at the thought of her former master) and, s

Aithne's story part 35 - Remember What You Are

It was so much easier yet so very much harder this time.   She had to fuck (or, rather, be fucked by) one elderly dark elf, not an entire room of men, and after more than a year of Urag’s orcish cock,  Savos’ - Master’s, she reminded herself, it would not do to think of anyone by a real name – dick seemed thin and reedy. It felt more like being fingered than fucked.    It was a perfunctory fuck, void of meaning except to relieve Sav…Master’s physical need. He finished then to

Aithne's story part 25 - Paradigm Shift

“MERKS! WHAT IN OBLIVION?!”   Aithne had heard the phrase ‘loud enough to wake the dead’ but this was the first time she had witnessed it. She blinked open her eye, then groaned as pain washed over her. Every bit of her body felt battered and bruised. Well, externally, anyway. As much as it hurt, it was still nothing compared to what Borkul’s clients had wrought. Not that that helped her headache. She tried to lift her hand, but the spike of pain that shot up her arm in protest foresta

Aithne's story part 16 - Cruel Twist of Fate

She had thought she knew cruelty. From the moment Borkul had dragged himself from the wreckage of the Jaunty Spirit, she had undergone every torture she could imagine (along with several she would never have envisioned had she had all of eternity to think upon it). He had beaten her and raped her and ground her down until she was nothing but a mindless plaything. She had thought him cruel, then and after. But the truth was, he had not been.   Evil, certainly. It would not be possible t

Aithne's story part 20 - The Orc

The room around them was giant and magnificent, filled to the brim with bizarre apparatuses. The very air buzzed with energy. Bright light shone from fire-less sconces along the wall and glowing runes covered the floor. High above Aithne’s head, large spheres rotated and spun, each at different speeds, in some strange pattern she could not grasp. She gaped at her surroundings, trying to take in the entirety of the giant room, but everywhere she looked, she saw something new, and each new thing s
