Demon Castle <Delsgade>

[Bloodedge]

Though Anos wouldn't have counted something as simple as neck-licking, Sin let it enter the discussion because it was new to her. That was fair enough. If that made her list of noteworthy occurrences though, she was going to need something bigger to write on than whatever she had already. "Don't waste all your room. You won't be able to keep up eventually," he said following that same line of thought.

It seemed Sin had some minor difficulty finding enjoyment in any form here, but no difficulty at all in finding the action acceptable. Anos could see enough willingness to proceed, but that wasn't quite enough for him. Just as Sin would realize her enjoyment of his reactions, Anos understood that hers were what he sought. It wouldn't be a bad idea to create pleasure on her end. Alas, Sin claimed she understood something regarding this activity's enjoyment, even from the perspective of the giver. "Oh? You don't dislike it, but you don't exactly like it either; is that it?" he wondered. If that were the case, it certainly wouldn't suffice. He'd already begun considering use of the seal. Only the tiniest push in the right direction should be enough to produce pleasure from any contact, he thought.

Sadly, he wouldn't even be using that solution right away. Anos' eyes had closed for a moment, and just before he interacted with Sin's seal, those intermittent licks evolved to the use of her mouth. The sudden transition to a location so close to the ultimate goal of copulation caused the reopening of his eyes, swiftly even. "Ah─ and here I was beginning to wonder how far I should go. It would be a shame to waste your natural progression by forcing the hunger on you. I wouldn't learn a thing about my own queen that way. What to do, what to do. . ."

[Apollymi]

According to Anos, she shouldn't take up all the room in her memory for insignificant things, lest she be unable to keep up. Would there truly come a time when she couldn't keep up with things happening to her? Probably, but in her own mind that would be a time of goodness. After all, it would mean she had enough pleasant experiences to outweigh thousands of years of neglect and distrust. "Hm, I look forward to such a time as being unable to keep up~" she mused aloud while she continued those movements of her chest and the casual licking of his manhood.

Anos understanding of Sin's current level of thought was fairly accurate. She could say that she did not fully understand what pleasure there was for her in such an activity, but she could also say that there was nothing she innately found negative about it either. "Something like that but, perhaps not exactly. The things I have thought of, simply do not suit me nor the way I currently feel..." she expressed of herself. This was the truth. If she wasn't servile, nor in search of power in the situation then what did she actually get from providing such an experience.

The answer had been teetering along the edges of her mind and just outside of her sight and understanding. But they'd become a bit clearer as Anos seemed to take pause in whatever actions he'd originally intended to do. Why? Well, because she'd placed the head of him in her mouth and it was another shocking development for him. What a swift reaction he had to that little maneuver. She didn't know she could make such a thing happen. There was something of a spark in those eyes of hers as she seemed to think of what it could mean. His words hit her ears strangely. He did not wish to impede upon the natural progress of his queen, he wanted to learn about her. Hm... that also worked in reverse as well. If she belonged to him as his queen then he was also her king. If he would learn her desires and all she was, she could easily do the same. Such an exchange would be a joyous one. As she thought that over she'd continue, tongue, mouth and lips taking on more and more of his manhood as it emerged from betwixt the mounds of flesh it was snuggled between. "Enjoy? That seem about the right answer to your question~" that was a little teasing but still what she meant. After a bit more prodding she could almost understand what it was someone giving such attention would find amusing enough to enjoy it. To continue. She could wait for his reactions, but even if he wasn't giving them directly this was something she'd do because this thing she was starting to taste was something that belonged to her. Strangely, she'd never felt so attached before now, but perhaps that was for the best?

[Bloodedge]

There would undoubtedly be a time when Sin could no longer keep up; Anos would make sure of that. In response to the mention of this, she claimed to be looking forward to it. That was precisely the attitude Anos had been hoping for, and precisely the mentality of one who could join him in literally endless satisfaction. There was a lot of time for Sin to make up for. Ki's lifetime was trumped in length by very, very few individuals, of which Anos was one. How much time would it take to clean a slate of several millennia?

Sin's lack of proper enjoyment did not come from a lack of understanding. According to the woman herself, the potentials simply didn't match her own ideals and present mood. Well, the mood was something easily changed. As long as nothing clashed with her ideology as a whole, he could twist the situation just to see how much she committed while doing more than just providing service.

Yes, any alteration would simply result in a more enjoyable experience for both parties, however... advancements were being made anyway? Indeed they were. Sin's approach was not so tentative as to stop at engulfing the tip. Each time she moved, more of his tool that went beyond her breasts disappeared into her mouth. Anos' eyes remained open from then on, fully fixated on the woman's face while she filled it more and more. A pause in Sin's actions occurred for the purpose of speaking, and what did she say? Enjoying was the answer to his question? Interesting. "Should I assume you've made a new discovery? Regardless, don't be silly. I've been enjoying from the start." Anos had been made curious once more. He was fully prepared to tweak a few things here and there, but Sin's speech implied a lack of necessity. What was it she came to realize, he wondered. . .

[Apollymi]

Lifetimes would be spent acclimating Sin to a life of pleasure that would replace for her the life of duty she'd known. There was nothing wrong with this in her honest opinion. She'd happily immerse in whatever she could find joy in. And currently there was nothing which brought her more joy than Anos. She could continue to the continued treatment of his manhood with this in mind. Even after explaining her thoughts on it, she was still happy and the more she did and the more strange reactions she evoked the more amusing this situation became.

For instance, the deepening of the motions she undertook seemed to be causing the man an intense bit of distraction. Not in an obvious way but in the way that his eyes no longer truly left her face. If left her wondering what he saw from his angle that he simply could not look away from it. So, imagine how she felt as she teased with her tongue, added suction with her mouth and licked along his shaft during times that other such things weren't occuring. The evolution of oral technique came with the unwavering attention she was being presented. And what was this, he'd been enjoying the whole time but was curious about her journey to discovery. A smirk crossed her lips as he was extricated once more. Saliva had been falling from her mouth and dripped down between her breasts making such movements much more silken as she took them on. This didn't seem to bother her one bit as she seemed content enough to continue her work. Of course, she'd always have a few words to spare. "I have discovered something yes.... I find myself liking this the more I do it~" she confessed. "Though, I could only truly see it as rewarding, if I was shown the fruits of my labor..." ah. That was it wasn't it. It would only reach the maximum point of satisfaction of it brought him as much pleasure as it possible could. She could take pride in an achievement like that, of learning how the man who belonged to her found his pleasure and exploiting it as she saw fit. That was the joy someone like her could take in an act of service. And with it in mind and her teasing words shared, she'd continue to lavish his manhood seeking a thrill she'd not yet known.

[Bloodedge]

Twice today, he'd seen the evolution of a goddess. Ki had ascended from a watered-down Creator to become Sin, the hybrid form currently beneath him that wholly embodied all concepts of the term deity. Here and now, Sin was evolving in terms of technique, needing zero provocation or guidance to do so. What fueled her? By her own admission, she found more enjoyment in the act of servicing the longer she kept it up. Clearly, her pleasure in this event was mental and stemmed from forward progress. Anos would soon be receiving confirmation of this.

Fruitful labor was the desire of Sin. Ah yes, the former Ki had once spoken of a withheld gift, and her desire to receive it. With her saliva seeming to form a membrane between his shaft and her breasts, magnifying all he felt throughout his member from her attentions, any normal man or creature would be ready to burst. Even Anos would be among that number if he wished to be, but... perhaps it was a husband's duty to adhere to the wife's wishes? "If it's that simple, then I offend. I'm still unbound by the material world's limitations. This tree bears fruit only when desired. If that is what you truly want, all you have to do is invoke your privilege as my queen. Give me the privilege of functioning as a creature of the new world, and you won't be the only one experiencing new things."

True to his word, Anos allowed a simple clause to enter their arrangement. His release came only when he decided it would normally. If Sin wished for the rewarding experience of directly causing ejaculation, it would be made the primary possibility of reality. In fact, her desire for that reality would cause an interesting effect. In the possibility she alluded to, her efforts had begun taking full effect a few minutes prior. Making that possibility into reality would result in the immediate expulsion of what mortals knew to be reproductive fluids, but what was in truth to their ilk... liquid mana made physical only because their forms were as such. Of course, there were caveats to such things. Being among the mightiest creatures from the original world, and being a denizen of the Void since the new world's birth, Anos' mana reserves knew no limits. The "fruits" of Sin's labor was to be a bountiful harvest indeed. Oh well. If she wished it so, she'd be subjecting herself to the opening floodgates of the once-named Prime Destroyer's energy, plentiful as it was even in relative minuteness.

[Apollymi]

Did Sin like progress? Well... yes. It was good to move forward, to meet goals and to see what came of one's toils. She could take pride in her work so long as it became something worthwhile. She'd always felt that way and moments of pleasure were no different for her than anything else she took interest in. But what of her words and explanations? According to Anos, he remained unbound by the world's limitations. He could withhold without cease, but he wanted to experience this world as well? Ah, so their exchange had indeed become something a bit closer to equivalent. By her own understanding her desire to see the fruits of her labors would bring about the potential of his end without it having to be something he decided for himself. He could then attain an aspect of surprise he did not normally have, and Sin could feel the sense of accomplishment that would come from servicing the man. Alright.

She'd take those words and that lesson to heart. It was easy enough to make that decision, and knowing she had control over it in this particular case was its own kind of high. Yes, she could fully enjoy this now and even more so than that commit fully to accepting all that would come. If she remembered the instance of her full entry into this world, plentiful were the fruits of this particular tree. Though she prepared when the moment arose it was more boundless than she could have expected. The purity of this energy and its quality were well beyond anything that could be expected. Those heart shaped pupils in her eyes pulsed as her mouth was filled and energy slid down her throat. Imagine how much more could be created with extra deposits of energy such as this. More and more still even as it seemed to spew from the corners of her mouth spreading down her face and onto her chest. Still... she found it to be worthwhile as an endeavor. A sea of white and black became something more interesting to see. And the redness of her face seemed to just distract it enough. "Oh my, I'd say that is definitely something to be enjoyed~" she chimed. How strange. She'd never taken mana in such a fashion as this but came easily to the conclusion that she could enjoy it. "I am beginning to believe self-serving is a word with a varied meaning~" she joked just a tad. She'd enjoyed that as much as she could for something which didn't directly stimulate her, definitely something she wouldn't mind doing again or rather probably something she'd do of her own accord at some point. Yes... that was the better way to think about it. As that missing energy spread across her person was either absorbed or dissipated she felt her skin tingling with power. Female creators were made to accept mana and create from it, she had a feeling creating was about to become something she could do with even greater ease than she managed before.

[Bloodedge]

Sin got precisely what she'd been looking for, much to Anos' satisfaction. She implied this would be her desire, but he couldn't be sure whether she would make the decision, or mull over it for a bit. Once more, Sin was more decisive than he would have expected of her former identity. In a single moment, Anos had felt a surge of build-up in unison with release. His hips even bucked just slightly. It was a rare thing, the Demon King being in a state of surprise or elation, but... here they were in such a moment. "Hmm~" he hummed in satisfaction while watching the physical manifestation of his mana filled Sin's mouth and spewed out onto her lower face and bosom. Her face had even gone red, as if it had some marked effect on her.

According to Sin, this moment was something to be enjoyed. The way she said that implied some enjoyment on her part. She even hinted at believing self-serving was a multipurpose ideal. It absolutely wasn't meant to carry multiple purposes, but if she wished to believe so, he had no intention of arguing. "I wonder why you think that. Does tasting my power give you the enjoyment you were looking for? It looks like you're absorbing a lot of it," he mused. Already, the fruit of his loins was being absorbed into Sin's flesh where it fell─ at least what hadn't been consumed directly. Luckily for the material world she'd been found on, Ki made use of that plentiful mana immediately. Feeling the surge of power within Sin, Anos felt that being anywhere but the Void would have caused a calamity. Anos sighed, but it was one of contentment. "That was an exceptional first attempt. You even seemed to be enjoying yourself at the end. If a 'next time' interests you, we'll see how much you can enjoy yourself while doing that. So then... it must be time for my turn. This chair is hardly fitting for that, though."

[Apollymi]

There was satisfaction in both parties in the moment of Anos' expulsion. Even so, Sin found herself pleasantly surprised at the innate bit of joy she felt at having garnered some kind of reaction from the man. It was indeed a worthwhile endeavor just to have garnered so much. In addition there was also the influx of mana which she consumed directly from its source. Strange, it was powerful enough to send jolts trickling along her skin, but tasted as the fruits from her favorite trees. In answer to his question she gave a rather cheeky reply, "I find such power interesting. It has never been the case that I received so much so it is more than satisfactory. Though it isn't power alone I take enjoyment from~" she said happily. Truly it wasn't an experience she minded and she also did not dislike the feeling of his power as it played across her body, but perhaps that was only natural.

Moving along from that point, there was the matter of their next bit of progression. Her first attempt at such a thing was called exceptional. Aside from her most recent chats with Anos, when was the last time anyone truly appreciated her efforts? She couldn't even recall, and given that it was another thing to let fall by the wayside. Apparently it was now, Anos turn to be exceptional and she could only allow that, though apparently their current placement and furniture were not conducive to his work. "Hoh? Well, I can do something about that... I did just receive a massive donation of the materials with which I create~" she teased gently. That couch beneath him would be transformed as she stood. Giving rise to a raised dais and a canopy bed which still seemed to reflect an unknown source of light down upon it. It was a massive thing soft but firm and big enough that a pack of a adults could live within it, but that was more or less just for the spacing. She had no idea what extras he would need but it was a pretty reasonable base to work with. "Hm, do you need anything more specific than this? I'd offer to create anything you'd like and I can so long as I have reasonable understanding of it~" she teased gently. To have creation in your hands was to be able to create all that the world had to offer. To do so with Mystery instead of Magecraft was a miracle of creating from nothing but the base of ones imagination. She stood tall in this moment and began her approach still willing to make alterations but also fully willing to close the distance between them.

[Bloodedge]

Nothing could have been more clear than the fact that Sin never received a mana transfer of this magnitude before. After all, Anos had already seen the one responsible for her previous "feasts", if one could call them that. Regardless, Sin admitted to enjoying more than just the power. Oh? His idea for the next time was only made more viable then. "You'll find more enjoyment in future. Actually... there is a way to handle two things at once, but I didn't want to break your concentration with what I plan on doing next."

What did Anos plan on doing next? Well, for that, a couch wasn't nearly an appropriate size. Luckily enough, a Creator was now a denizen of the Void. Sin had more than enough energy to work her magic for thousands of years, even before Anos' power was added to the mix. It took no true effort for her to replace the couch with a full bed larger than any one or two individuals required, and it was without effort that she did precisely that. With this creation, it seemed Anos was now already sitting at the bed's edge, peering over his shoulder to witness the sheer size of a single mattress. "Oh? Did you think to add more space so you'd have room to try running away?" he teased. Squirming under his attention was something Sin had inherited from her former self, even if not fully. With all this room on a single surface, he imagined there could be a little more than he'd adjusted to thus far.

Now then, what else did he have need of? As Sin drew closer, he considered a single thing. One specification could be granted to fully enable the experience of an eternity. "Now that you mention it, yes. Create for me the image of a Demon Queen as she is ready to be taken by Anos Voldigoad. I'm sure you have enough power to do that," he said cheekily.

[Apollymi]

It seemed that her previous relationship would remain a point of negative comparison for a while to come. Even so, there was nothing but enjoyment to be gained from her newest experiences. What was more Anos made the claim that there was more enjoyment to be had in the future. Something about two things at once? And apparently he did not wish to break her concentration with what he planned next. "I do not know what would break my concentration but I can only assume I will indeed enjoy it. So, I'll look forward to that too~" she mused gently.

Moving on from that she'd created a rather large bed for the pair of them to occupy on the next phase of their journey. She wasn't quite sure where it would take them and knew this size of bed was pretty normal for those who seemed to be happy. Still there were teasing words from Anos which made Sin playfully scoff. "I'd never even considered it," she claimed of running. Strangely, it was true, even while her body experienced a plethora of new sensations, running away from Anos was never something she'd rightly considered. Such would always be the case, given the constant throbbing between her legs that had developed by this man's attention alone. So after it's creation, it seemed that Anos needed only one thing. A Demon Queen ready to be taken?

Those robes she'd designed for herself, hair covering and the rest seemed to be stripped away as she moved forward. Full of confidence was Sin as she made her way to the bed. She had within her body nothing but pure desire, and if her King had the wish for the image of his queen ready to be taken, he'd receive it. Though it wouldn't come without a bit of cheek as well. "I am not sure, such a thing might well be outside of my power," she teased gently as she slid by him, crawling into bed only to roll over onto her back and spread her legs. Against black and purple sheets her body seemed to stand out, radiant but not innocent. She'd likely squirm a bit while he watched her, but she lay ready to be taken in whatever fashion he wished to have her.

[Bloodedge]

Sin didn't know what would have broken her concentration. Interesting. In actuality, his intention was simply to show her the fourth use of mouths since she'd figured out the third and given it a shot. When he did so, there was a chance of "running away" as he put it. Sin claimed that was a thing she'd never considered; he wondered how quickly that would change, if at all. "Don't make such decisions too soon," he quipped. They'd see soon enough if she had the capacity to flee or not.

To do so, however, there was a simple requirement. Sin had to meet his additional need. A Demon Queen ready to be taken was all that remained before they could begin, and with a bit of cheek, Sin declared that it may be beyond her as a creation. "Hmph," Anos snickered. "I could take it upon myself if you don't think yourself capable. In linking myself to a Creator, it seems I've regained an old ability." Anos' meaning would be left hanging for a few moments, as he occupied himself with the observation of a bare and confident Sin. His eyes traveled up and down the woman's form while she passed him by, eventually causing him to stand and turn for an uninterrupted look. On her back with legs spread open, Sin was indeed perfectly prepared for the situation to come... but alas, Anos had a clause to finish.

In ancient times, in a former version of the world, there was a thing of omnipotence known as Source Magic. Among the rarest and most difficult to control forms of magic, a small few could ever consider themselves even experts. It was a thing all Creators innately possessed by their ability to construct Sources, but something that had been taken to heights far beyond that. "Dielga," Anos chanted with his eyes fixed on the woman ahead. His spell would affect her Source directly, splitting it and her body into two. This was a spell that was once usable only before birth, as its success rate decreased dramatically afterwards. Here and now, however, Anos had used the spell masterfully enough to produce a second copy of Sin standing beside him, bare as a newborn babe just like the one he'd been looking at. Before the magical light of this new creation even disappeared, Anos was speaking again. "Lyria." Another spell was cast to link this new existence to the original, so closely in this case that they would share sensation and, occasionally, even thoughts.

"I could do this," said Anos as his hand slipped between the second Sin's legs, letting the original see and feel his approach while acting as a third party. Even with this being only a showcase, Anos' fingers spared no effort in the folds of the new life. But... it was not to last long. Dielga was a spell meant to create a half-life that would eventually return to the original body to strengthen it. It was something once bypassed by the Heroes of old, and something that in Anos' present use, was made to last only for about... ninety seconds. Of course, he'd be spending all ninety of those seconds harassing the second Sin's undercarriage with magnificent purpose. "Though for something outside of your power, your image seems perfectly executed."

[Apollymi]

"But I truly hadn't ever considered it~" she mused. True enough Sin hadn't entertained the thought of running from most things. Her ability to stand her ground was probably a staple of the planet at this point. Ah but jokes would become something like demonstrations and then reality as she and Anos teased each other.

What would take place this time? An old magic, so old in fact that it was likely something this world hadn't seen since the birth of Metis. Here and now, Anos used the effect of having her around to create a copy of the woman, and beyond that to connect them to each other. Strange, the manipulation of Sources was rare. "Oh? I hadn't seen myself from the outside perspective before... I did quite a good job on this form. So did you, of course~" she mused, seemingly proud of herself. Here and now it seemed that she'd be given the show of herself being molested once again by her husband. But alas it wasn't just a show, the sensation of him rubbing betwist her folds made her body both tense and relax. The Sin in bed began to squirm once more, her legs coming together at the knees as she shifted gently. All the while the one standing beside Anos did something very similar but in the standing position.

Was this sort of thing truly as easy as it seemed in a moment like this? Perhaps. They could always have more than a bit of fun with it as time went on. Still, as she watched herself be stimulated by her husband the moisture between her own legs only increased by a large quantity. All the while a little chorus of moans escaped this pair of beings for as long as they both existed. So close to climax Sin would be after such an ordeal it seemed like her body was on fire. Of course, she had no idea what Anos had planned but she still didn't entertain the idea of running. No, she was much more content to see what was going to happen.

[Bloodedge]

"Keep that in mind if it becomes a natural response." With that simple rebuttal given, Anos carried on with his whimsical plan of creating a second Sin. Upon its creation, this copy was observed by the original and commented on. Sin believed she'd done a good job when creating this form of hers. Anos could only agree, of course, but he had more to say regarding that. "I'm willing to give credit to Kishar. The original was no less stunning. Though... I might like this one's attitude more," he surmised.

When Anos began offering his attention to the copy, Sin's original self did as he knew she would. The Demon Queen squirmed and squirmed, those open legs coming to a close at the knees as she was pleasured through external methods. Much to his expectation, both versions reacted in unison, and in very similar fashions to boot. He could almost feel the rise in her arousal just from watching her wriggle in bed. Naturally, that only urged him to continue molesting the clone. Ninety seconds was the full life that second Sin was allowed. He wouldn't be bringing her to climax during that time, whether she found it possible or not. If such an event became immanent, he'd slow or stop, until the second life returned to the first. Only then could his approach begin. Crawling onto the bed, he encroached upon Sin until his hands could reach out to separate her knees again. All seemed normal, as if they were to progress with copulation, but... no. Instead of moving forward to align their loins, Anos moved down to plant his face between Sin's legs. The added moisture within her folds had been built for this. Anos' tongue extended to lap at glistening pink flesh. Well, licking perhaps wasn't the word. In truth, his tongue touched flesh and immediately began gliding up, down, back up, and so on. All the while, his hands held the woman's knees in position just incase her squirming became something unexpected.

[Apollymi]

If Sin had been the worrying type these words from Anos might have set her on edge. But she had never been paranoid. She knew all she needed to know about this situation and trusted him with herself. Strangely, this included even the copy of her that had been created just to tease her. He claimed that he would give credit on the original to the woman's mother who'd created her, but claimed he liked the attitude of his current queen. "Ah, I do like this attitude myself~" she claimed with a gentle upturn of her lips. The motions of his fingers between that clones legs were nothing short of thrilling even as she wasn't truly allowed to reach that pinnacle of sensation. The squirming of the former goddess couldn't have been stopped if she wanted to. Regardless a half life was short and that copy of her disappeared after the longest moment her life had known up to this point.

And then she watched, as Anos approached from below. Her legs were spread and it seemed almost as if consummation was indeed at hand. Anticipation was quite high and she already felt so desperately needy that she could hardly wait. And then? A rather shocking turn of events took place. There was no aligning for copulation, instead, Anos buried his face between her thighs, and Sin got to feel the sensation of a tongue lashing out against her flesh. Well, that was also sort of wrong. She felt as a tongue began to explore her folds, gliding along the lubricated space and making her gasp. She wanted to sit up, but instead she merely felt herself squirming. A moan left her mouth before all else and she could barely contain herself. What was she to say in a moment like this? She could feel her own heart rather suddenly beating within her chest, "A-nos~" she practically sang his name. But there was a different matter altogether. She'd been rather close to the edge to start with, attention like this would sent this newly born demon-goddess straight into the throes of passion. And that was likely fine, even as her legs were held separate to stop that closing that definitely happened almost as a reaction initially. Soon after the muscles of her legs and stomach tightened and released as pleasure washed over her, and her body came to relaxed almost instantly. She was seeing stars in a moment like this and the sensations of her loins were almost overpowering for her.

[Bloodedge]

They both enjoyed the attitude of Sin, perhaps for different reasons, or perhaps for exactly the same. Anos particularly enjoyed the dynamic she brought in this form. She still had all the reactions of inexperience Ki possessed, but rather than leaping headlong into newness as a dejected queen, she looked ahead to that same newness as a fresh queen with an assured future. The difference was small, yet massive. Anos enjoyed dealing with one, yet the other was preferred for the Demon Queen. The former however, was the one he'd chosen in the beginning, but this was not a substitution he found dissatisfying at all.

It took no time whatsoever for the Demon Lord's tactics to show results. His tongue trailed along a moistened slit, never lifting from the flesh it slid across. Ah, there was the singing he previously spoke of. With a chant of his name, the path his tongue carved across Sin's loins was made slicker still. It seemed almost as if his tongue could slide off the surface and go careening into oblivion at any moment, so... the natural answer of Anos was to apply a little pressure in the flood's aftermath. There would be no breaks taken just because Sin had experienced release; things were only getting started. Of course, evolution was necessary as well. A little pressure being added wasn't enough, so Anos' trail became a bit longer as well. At every upward stroke, his tongue found an obstacle: a little knob of nerves to flick over before returning to the downward path. The first of these flicks was slow and purposeful, Anos' tongue nearly dragging itself over the bulb. As for those that came afterwards, well... they would be rather quick, occurring in an instant before he moved on. It seemed Anos had a preference for quick shocks. . .
