‘Control the power, then you can protect them. You can do this, you have to do this, don’t let them down.’
Slowly he began to see the stars of light in his mind against the darkness. One by one they were gradually appearing and brightening the void with a radiant light that complimented each of the girls’ respected elements.
“Daniel,” Alyssa gasped as a blush formed on her cheeks, the other girls watching her as she dropped to her knees while she felt a strong burst of pleasure and lust light up inside her.
Daniel saw the red star before him burning hotter and brighter, knowing that was Alyssa’s love for him which seemed to send power surging through his body wildly when the crimson light flowed into his being.
“I think he’s doing it now,” Specca softly said before slowly dropping to her knees, with the other girls seeing a blush coming across her face and her hands reaching down between her legs.
As she did Daniel saw the bright blue star near him shining brighter, seeming to calm his mind and body and relax his spirit as if floating in a gently rocking ocean. That was more than enough to show him it was Specca’s soothing spirit aiding his mind.
“It’s happening, he’s touching their spirits,” Kroanette said as Squeak suddenly squeaked loudly and dropped to one knee, a deep blush coming across her face as she shakily held one hand to her abdomen while feeling her body heating up.
Daniel felt his strength growing, not being sure if he really was physically becoming stronger or if it was just the feeling he got from the brown star representing Squeak’s spirit that shed its radiant light upon him.
“So this is what he does to us then,” Triska mused as she saw Luna drop to her knees while holding her hands down between her legs, the butterfly girl shutting her eyes tight as she started breathing heavily from the intense pleasure that suddenly shot through her whole body.
Sure enough Daniel was feeling her spirit then, his mind seeing the bright green star that made him feel like he was soaring through the air without a care at all. The pure feeling of joy and sensation of the wind blowing by him let him know that was Luna he was feeling, which was only slightly different from the next star he saw next to hers.
“Daniel,” Falla breathed out as she dropped to her knees then forward while holding a hand down under her skirt. She struggled to hold in her moan as she suddenly felt like she was on the brink of having an orgasm with her body heating up.
Daniel watched in his mind as the purple star began to glow brightly in the darkness next to the others, the element of wind it gave off being distinguished from Luna’s by its other effect. Instead of giving Daniel a carefree feeling of happiness it gave him a large amount of confidence and self-assurance. With it bolstering his mind he suddenly felt like he could persuade his queen to listen to his beliefs without any proof at all.
“Oh… my,” Kroanette softly stuttered as she wavered and stumbled to the side a step. Pip fluttered out from her chest and watched curiously as the centaur dropped down onto her legs while holding her arms around herself. “What… what is this?”
“It’s happening to you too now, isn’t it?” Triska curiously said as she and Clover watched the centaur beginning to breathe more heavily while a blush formed on her face.
“I feel so… good inside…” Kroanette said before holding a hand over her mouth to hold in her moan.
‘Dear lord, my whole body feels like it’s about to burst from this feeling. I’ve never been so excited in all my life!’
Daniel concentrated on all holding all the lights in his mind along with the newest one that formed behind him. This one was colored yellow and burned just as brightly as the others did. When its radiant light flowed into him he felt as if he could outrun anything, like nothing was faster than he was with just his normal human legs.
‘Speed, this one is the element of speed. That has to be Kroanette; she’s the fastest of all of us by far.’
“I think I just came,” Kroanette whined before dropping onto her side, her legs twitching while she held a hand over her mouth to hold in the moans and cries of passion trying to escape.
“So she shares the bond as well,” Triska mused with a nod. “I wonder if the same goes for-”
“EEP!” Pip squeaked before dropping to the ground. Triska and Clover looked down to seeing the fairy twitching while having her legs and arms spread out. Although she appeared to have passed out she kept hopping about like a beached fish and chirping now and again.
“Yep, her too,” Triska concluded looking to Daniel.
Daniel felt the next star in his mind glowing brightly, this one colored pink and radiating its light into him in a gently flowing stream just as the others did. As the light entered his being he felt something different compared to the other ones. This star didn’t seem to have an element to it, at least not that he could tell, but rather it appeared to talk to him. Although not in a clear dialect, it was almost as if this particular soul was speaking to him. The words it spoke weren’t of any language he had heard before, and though sounded foreign and confusing to him at the same time they seemed very kind and wise.
‘I have no idea what this is… this isn’t like the others. It’s so cryptic and strange. Is this Pip’s soul?’
Clover looked around at seeing all the girls succumbing to Daniel’s aura channeling spell. They were all feeling as if they were lit up on the inside with sheer love and lust rolling through their bodies, so much so that Pip in particular appeared to be incapacitated nearly instantly from the sensation. Alyssa rolled onto her back with a loud moan while her hat blew off in the wind, Specca dropped onto her side with a passionate cry while her tail whipped about behind her, Squeak grabbed hold of the ground with great force and crushed the dirt with her hand as she squeaked loudly, Luna and Falla’s wings fluttered uncontrollably as the sisters moaned heavily with the surge of lust going through their bodies, Kroanette involuntarily kicked and wailed into her mouth as she couldn’t fight off the pleasure surging through her, and Pip merely hopped about chirping in a daze while having her arms and legs spread out.
“I have to say, this is weird to see,” Clover commented before noticing Triska still standing next to her and not making a sound. “Hey, aren’t you supposed to be getting all wet and stupid like they are now too?”
Triska glanced around at seeing all the girls being overwhelmed by the spell’s effects then looked at Daniel with confusion as she didn’t feel anything happening to her. She saw the glowing lights of the casting circle shining more steadily now beneath him while around his wrist going up to his arm were a swirling array of purple and green lights shimmering in the shape of an armored gauntlet. It was obvious the spell was being used just as before, yet she felt nothing happening to her body in the least.
“I… thought so,” she unsurely replied.
Daniel felt the massive amount of power flowing through his body; so much so that he had trouble focusing on each of the stars properly as they all seemed to outshine each other now and again.
‘Need to stay focused. You can do this. Don’t let go of any of the feelings.’
The pulling sensations from each of the stars intensified as he forced himself to stay focused. Concentrating all his might into controlling this power the casting circle below him began to glow brighter while the inner ring with each of the shared spirits started to appear near him as well.
“Look at that,” Triska softly said as she and Clover saw the inner markings taking form. The emblem of flames from Alyssa burned itself into the ground, the one showing wavy lines like water from Specca sizzled into the dirt next to that, followed by the symbol for Squeak’s aura with the four rugged stones bound together in its ring. Next to that one Luna’s marking of swirling lines for wind appeared with Falla’s insignia which was the same swirling lines in the opposite direction appearing afterwards. Beside that one another crest formed in its own circle, this one having a horse running with its tail and mane flowing behind it, likely related
to Kroanette and her aura. And next to that one a final emblem appeared, this one having a question mark burned into the ground with what appeared to be an eye in the top hook part of the marker.
“Are those… from the girls?” Triska asked with wonder.
“Where’s yours?” Clover casually asked with a glance to the teen. “Shouldn’t you have your sign in the dirt with the rest of them?”
Triska looked to her worriedly then to the symbols on the ground, each one representing love that was being shared into Daniel’s spell to give him his power from each of the girls around him. Except from Clover and herself.
“I don’t understand,” she said shaking her head. “How come nothing’s happening to me? Why isn’t there another marker on the ground from me?”
“You sure he loves you?” Clover asked, earning a fierce glare from Triska. “I mean I thought the way you all explained this was he gets this power from anyone that loves him and that he loves back. So I mean if you’re not down there right now, logically that means one of you doesn’t love the other.”
“We both love each other, there is no doubt about that at all,” Triska growled at her through her teeth. “I love Daniel like no other man in Eden and he loves me with his all his heart.”
“All his heart?” Clover questioned. “Because he loves them as well, so that would mean he doesn’t love you with all his heart.”
“He loves me just as much as he does with them!” Triska shouted at her with fury.
Daniel jumped as heard her loud voice and quickly opened his eyes, the lights around his arm and wrist flickering before fading away. The casting ring below him glowed brightly then slowly died down while the markings remained burned into the grass and dirt with a few patches glowing slightly still. As the lights faded away the wind died down and vanished, all the magical power that had been flowing through the air disappearing as Daniel returned to his senses.
“Triska?” he asked looking around quickly before seeing her turning to him with a jump. “What’s wrong? I heard you shouting.”
“Oh, Daniel,” she nervously said with a weak smile. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin your concentration.”
The other girls slowly regained themselves and began to sit up, their minds still reeling from the experience as the world gradually came into focus for them again.
“Wow,” Specca breathed out as she adjusted her glasses. “I didn’t expect Daniel learning to use magic would have such a… profound effect on us like that.”
“Oh, I want him to practice every day,” Alyssa wearily agreed with a smile forming on her face while she used one hand to feel how wet she had become.
Squeak blinked a few times while squeaking with her antennae twitching before she looked to her hand curiously which had a crushed stone in it. She then flicked the pieces and dust off with her fingers before wiping her gloves off with each other.
“That was fun,” Luna giggled softly while she lay on her back in the grass.
“I love helping Daniel now,” Falla purred while she stretched out on the ground next to her sister.
“That was amazing,” Kroanette said as she slowly sat up on her legs, her eyes wearily focusing on the group again. “I’ve never felt anything like that before.”
Pip slowly fluttered up off the grass in an erratic rise before rubbing her eyes with her hands. She shook her head a little then looked around at the other girls.
“That felt funny. I kind of liked it though. Let’s do it again!”
Daniel looked around at seeing the girls slowly getting up again then back to Triska as she was watching him with a worried smile while Clover was just eyeing him with a dull stare.
“Triska? Why did you shout like that? Was something wrong?”
“Um, well…” Triska said looking down to the casting diagram with concern.
“Look at the ground, dumbass,” Clover dryly stated.
Daniel looked at her with puzzlement then down before he jumped as he saw the large casting ring he had created. The other girls gathered closer as they too saw the branded diagram he had forged with his magic.
“Daniel, that’s amazing,” Specca praised with a smile.
“It burned the ground again,” Alyssa said with wonder. “It had to have been a powerful one this time just like before.”
“Wow, you’re doing so well with this, Daniel,” Luna said with a few joyous hops.
“Well he does have all our love fueling that magic of his,” Falla mentioned with a slick smile at the boy along with a wink.
“Does he?” Clover chuckled. The group looked to her as she tilted her head with a cocky smile on her face. “I don’t think he does.”
“And just why would you say that?” Kroanette demanded.
“Refresh my memory,” Clover mockingly requested before pointing to the inner ring and symbols near Daniel. “What do those mean again?”
“Those are the emblems representing each of us that he shares a bond with,” Specca clarified in a proud tone. “Each one of those markers is a sign that we have a connection with him and that he has drawn upon our spirits and love to amplify his magic.”
“Oh, oh, that one’s mine, right?” Luna asked pointing to one of the wind emblems.
“I thought that one was mine and the other was yours,” Falla questioned pointing between the two markers for wind with confusion.
“I know that one is mine,” Alyssa boasted, looking to her fiery crest with a proud smile.
Squeak nodded and squeaked as she pointed to her insignia of the four stones.
“Water of course would be my element,” Specca agreed as she admired her symbol that was made with Daniel’s love for her.
“I’m going to assume this one is from me,” Kroanette pondered with a curious smile at seeing the horse emblem burned into the ground.
“What’s that one?” Luna asked pointing to the crest with the question mark and the eye in it.
“That one doesn’t make any sense,” Alyssa said shaking her head.
“It’s Pip’s then,” Falla dryly said as the group glanced to the fairy, the tiny monster’s eye looking at the emblem with confusion.
“I don’t get it,” she said scratching her head.
“You’re looking at it upside down,” Luna said spinning her finger around.
Pip nodded then flew over to where Daniel was and looked at her emblem from that point of view, then shook her head with confusion.
“I still don’t get it.”
“And that’s why it’s yours,” Falla replied with a smirk.
“Oh, I get it now,” Clover said with a small smile. “So each one of those symbols represents one of you that shares his love, right? If you love him, and he loves you, then that’s where the mark comes from.”
“That’s correct,” Specca answered.
“And the reason I don’t have a mark on the ground is because he doesn’t love me, right?” Clover asked with a small pout.
“Yes, and we’re all thankful for that,” Alyssa commented with a nod.
“So tell me, how many markings should there be on the ground?” Clover asked with a grin.
The group looked at her curiously then down to the casting ring while Triska glanced away with a worried frown.
“There should be eight of course,” Specca answered as she started counting around the ring of symbols. After she finished she paused then showed a confused expression. “Wait… seven?”
“That can’t be right,” Alyssa said scratching her head. She took a moment to realize her hat was gone and looked around for it then back down to the markers as she eyed each one curiously. “There’s mine, and Specca’s, then Squeak’s, and then Luna and Falla’s, that one has to be Kroanette’s, and we’ll easily assume that one there is Pip’s, and…”
Slowly everyone turned to Triska as she kept looking away from them with closed eyes and Clover smirked while watching Daniel with a raised eyebrow.
“Who’s missing here, Dan?” Clover kn
owingly asked.
“Wait, where’s Triska’s?” Specca asked looking down to the ring with growing concern.
“She doesn’t have one,” Luna said shaking her head.
“Why not?” Alyssa asked as all the girls looked to Daniel, with him showing surprise at seeing emblems for each of the girls except for Triska.
“Daniel?” Kroanette slowly asked. “You do love Triska, right?”
“Of course I do,” Daniel said in disbelief as he saw there was no crest with anything for Triska. “I don’t understand, how is this possible?”
“Didn’t you see her spirit when you were concentrating with the spell?” Alyssa asked. “You saw all of us, you had to have, we could feel it. Didn’t you see anything for her as well?”
Daniel closed his eyes and held his hands to his head, trying to remember every detail about what just happened while Triska looked back to him with worried eyes.
“I only saw seven lights in my mind. I was pretty sure it was all of you. I could very well guess which light belonged to who, but… I don’t remember sensing Triska’s after that. I don’t understand, did I just not notice hers?”
“Did you feel anything like we did, Triska?” Specca asked the girl. “Anything at all?”
“I didn’t feel a thing,” Triska said shaking her head. “I saw all of you dropping to the ground in ecstasy, but nothing happened to me.”
“That’s not right,” Alyssa said with concern. “We all know he loves you, there’s no doubt about that. Why didn’t the spell affect you like it did with us? Your love should have been added to the spell along with all of ours.”
“Is it possible seven was his limit?” Specca deliberated. “I mean the aura sharing spell has never been known to be used with so many spirits at once. What he’s doing with this is unheard of as far as we know. Perhaps he just didn’t see Triska’s because it was too much to handle an eighth one.”
“Well,” Daniel pondered as all eyes turned to him. “It was feeling a little difficult to concentrate on everyone like I was, but… I still feel like I should have seen Triska, or at least noticed her in some way.”
