Crystal Farron, a 115 year old bioticless asari with a desire to be a great author like her father was. A bioticless asari among the race is not only rare but almost unheard of. With the label of being a freak and potential Ardak-Yakshi from a young...
This is a super short little drabble from a reddit writing prompts post, which I will probably do more of as warm up writing exercises. If people like it, I might extend it some more because it ends before the good stuff. Anyway, enjoy!
Karinea was aware she didn't know much about the outside world. She had been raised by the Order of Valentus, and hadn't left the monastery until her first mission. That had been simple enough: all her companions were fighters and clerics of the Order, and while the wilds, towns and villages they encountered were strange to her, the rules and customs within her party were not. She became complacent, and perhaps forgot some of her earliest lessons about the people not raised in the light of the Pleasure Lord.
Which, Karinea realised, might explain the look of shock on Wivenne's face when she produced her holy relic from her satchel and bade her undress for the healing ritual.
Wivenne was not from the order. After a dragon attack had driven her party to flee, they had all become separated, and Karinea had found herself defending a group of survivors from the local village against the kobold horde. Wivenne was the tavern bard, and had taken up arms to defend her home. The injuries she had suffered in the battle were not serious, but Karinea had invited her into the private room the innkeep had granted her for her help nonetheless. The Lord of Pleasure let no suffering go untreated, after all.
"By all the gods, what is that?" Wivenne demanded, taking a step back towards the door.
Karinea clutched the holy symbol to her chest protectively. The glass tip was pleasantly warm against her chin. "It's the Wand of Valentus," she explained. "The blessed symbol of my order."
She wore a simplified version of the Wand on her chestpiece, though in fairness to Wivenne that was a lot more abstract and less... anatomical. The relic she carried was almost 8 inches of carefully cast glass with threads of gossamer thin gold woven throughout. Those represented the veins, and the liquid core of holy seed that ran through the center issued from her god himself. The handle at the base was wrapped in simple leather, and Karinea's first lesson as a novice had been to learn the various grips.
"Is it now," Wivenne said, a sceptical eyebrow raised. She folded her arms. "Whatever happened to good old 'Lay on Hands'?"
Karinea brightened. "I can do that instead, if you prefer."
Wivenne opened her mouth to answer, and then paused. "When you say 'Lay on Hands', am I right in thinking I'll still need to disrobe?"
"Oh no, of course not," Karinea said, going to put the Wand back in her pack. "I can just slide my hand into your leathers. I don't need to see what I'm doing, I'm quite talented." It was a brag, but she knew she was a good healer. All her instructors agreed. She slipped her index and middle fingers into her mouth to wet them and stepped forward. Wivenne put a hand on her shoulder to stop her, with surprising strength from such a small woman.
"Sweetheart, I think you're in a sex cult," she said. "Look, you're very pretty and I'm flattered, and maybe if my ribs didn't ache so much this might go a different way, but do you have any way you can heal me that doesn't involve you putting anything inside me?"
Karinea was a little hurt at the cult accusation. Valentus was a real god, his blessings felt around the world, the healing power of his touch pure and unmistakable. She let it slide though, because prioritising the safety and health of others was His first command, and there was still a wounded elf in front of her.
"Of course, there are a number of rituals I can perform on myself," she said. "I can direct the power of Valentus into you, you'll just need to hold my hand while I do."
"And these rituals...?"
"Oral, vaginal, or anal," Karinea explained brightly.
Wivenne sighed heavily, and then winced.
"You're in pain," Karinea said softly, and took Wivenne's hand in her own. She had been so caught up in her duties, than she had forgotten the poor injured soul in front of her and the physical toll she was suffering. Pain wasn't antithetical to pleasure of course, she had studied its relationship and the joy it could bring, but without commensurate satisfaction there was suffering, and the Lord of Pleasure sought to defeat suffering wherever it was found. "Please let me help you, Wivenne."
The elf woman sighed again. "You know what? Fine. Suck the damn thing."
Karinea couldn't suppress a little gasp of happiness. She drew the Wand again from her satchel, and arranged herself on the bed. Wivenne awkwardly refused to look at the holy relic and blushed violet, but Karinea was just excited to fulfil her role as healer.
"Come," she said. "Hold my hand, while I worship the Lord of Pleasure, and channel his prowess into healing your wounds through the pleasure of my mouth."
Wivenne's blush deepened, but she sat next to Karinea on the bed, pointedly looking away, and slipped her fingers into Karinea's palm.
Karinea offered her a smile, and the used the tip of the Wand to part her own lips.
