Goddess Lillie Ch 2
#3 of Lillie
Chapter 2! Picking up right after the first. It's shorter and includes a lot of explanation but also some good face-fucking I think!
I hope you enjoy! Feedback is always appreciated, and thanks for reading :)

The next morning Lillie woke up naked in a strange room. Everything was white, including the unfamiliar bed. Trying not to panic at the sudden change she stood up and stretched, feeling surprisingly refreshed and energized despite the long night before.
A door on the far side of the room opened and through it walked a huge, terrifying, deadly, and absolutely drop dead gorgeous dragoness. She was dressed in ornate, old fashioned plate armor, interwoven with delicate embroidered fabrics. Her scales were a brilliant gold color with bands of black that looked reminiscent of scorch marks. Large horns curved upward from her head, a short almost shaggy mane of black feathers between them. She had massive feathered wings folded behind her shoulders. Her tail curled around the base of the doorway as she stepped closer to Lillie's bed, staring at her nakedness.
The form was incredibly familiar to Lillie and a sense of deja vu washed over her, and it took a second before she realized the dragoness was identical to the statue from the night before. Before she could say anything however, the dragoness spoke.
"Why are you always naked Lillie?"
The voice clicked the recognition in Lillie's head.
"VISSRA?! Is this your body? How is that possible? And you're so beautiful oh my god!" Lillie blurted, gasping in awe.
"It's a little complicated, basically you can think of this space as a training room outside normal space that our minds can inhabit. I can appear in my past body here because none of this exists in the normal sense. This will be my home until the time comes when you are strong enough to allow me to project my spirit into the world" Vissra explained. "...And thank you. Now, as I was saying, how are you feeling?"
"I feel great! But I need clothes." Lillie stated matter-of-factly.
"Ah yes," Vissra agreed. "well this is a space inside our minds, just picture them and you'll have them on."
"Oh that's convenient."
"Mhm, makes me wonder why you showed up without them though."
In a moment she was wearing a pair of simple leather pants and a black shirt. They fit perfectly, hugging her curves nicely and covering all the important parts.
"Looks good on you." Vissra complimented.
"Thanks!" Lillie grinned, admiring her figure in the mirror across from her bed. "Wait! Before I forget, are you the bronze statue I saw in the hallway last night? It looked just like you."
"Statue... Are you sure it looked like me?" Vissra asked, sounding skeptical.
"Absolutely, identical horns and wings and everything, but what really stood out were your eyes."
There was a pause before the dragoness answered. "Did you feel anything when you walked by?"
"Not exactly, but I felt a.... familiarity immediately. Why?"
"Well if it is me... This may change my plan a lot. IF that statute is me, it could be my next body." Vissra mused, lost in thought, "That would explain why I was pulled here, I've been drifting for who knows how long. But how is it here?"
She was silent, Lillie watched her eyes wander, answering her own questions inside her head. Just as Lillie was about to interrupt the silence with a question, she spoke again.
A fire lit in her eyes and she looked positively dangerous. "OK yep this changes everything," Lillie couldn't tell if she was angry or excited but she suspected it was a bit of both. "Time to start your training as a mage my young student," Vissra's grin was wide and full of teeth.
***
Training began in the next room, Vissra leading Lillie in, who raced to catch up. As it turned out, the statue WAS to scale, and it was very hard to keep up with the purposeful powerwalk of a 10ft tall dragoness. The room was huge and filled with all sorts of equipment and instruments.
"So what did you mean a mage? LaVeil told me I have no magic."
"HA, perfect! First off, you HAD no magic, or at least no access to it. Since our bonding that's changed, and by the gods Lillie you are a VERY unique creature."
"But how could she think I had none? And what in the world does that mean??" Lillie prodded, feeling more lost.
"I pulled a trick during the ritual, I can explain it later, but suffice it to say, I prevented her from looking at your true magical potential." Reaching the center of the room she spun to face Lillie, "As for your uniqueness, what I mean is, you were born without any access to magic. Whether you had magic within you or not wouldn't matter; sometimes people just can't use it. That's why--or one reason why LaVeil bonds her slaves with spirits, it gives the ability to use magic to those who lack it, the spirit basically opens your conduit. I'm already bonded with a spirit, that's part of why I could bond with you and why, as a free floating soul, I could join the ritual undetected by LaVeil. Anyway, YOU have maybe the greatest magical potential I've ever seen, it would have been a cruel twist from the gods to let you live without access to it."
Lillie was starting to look glassy eyed from the barrage of information but tried to follow.
"Let me explain a little about magical potential," Vissra continued, "you can imagine our magic in two stages. Picture a reservoir of water, and a river feeding it. If magic is the water, the size of the reservoir determines how much magic your body can store, and the river determines how fast that magical energy replenishes. The size of the reservoir can be expanded with training, but the river, the flow or the influx of magic, is something unique to your soul, it does not change. Ever. Lastly you can think of our bonding as unlocking your control over that reservoir. Now you have the tools to let out however much energy you need to fuel your magic." Her voice slowed, putting more emphasis on her next words. "Lillie your reservoir is pretty small-- nothing to worry about, that will improve with your training. Your influx however... It's astounding. I couldn't feel it until our bond was complete but, I think it's the most of anyone I've ever known. It puts mine to shame-- and I became a battle-mage because of how much power I could output. What you will do with training is going to be incredible."
Lillie didn't know *what* to think, it was all she could do to stay standing while she thought about what Vissra was telling her.
Vissra could see her struggle and put a massive hand on her shoulder in comfort. "Look don't worry about it right now, it's a lot to take in. Lets just start with the basics of magic and we can work our way to what this all means later. I'll be here to help you through all of it."
Lillie nodded silently, trying to process the new information.
"First lets begin with the element I find easiest: fire!"
With a flourish of Vissra's hands the air around them ignited and took form. A crackling ring of flame erupted around them. The heat was intense and Lillie had to cover her face with her arms.
"Wow, that's really hot!" Lillie said.
"It can get worse," Vissra warned. "This may be one of the simplest elements but it's also one of the most dangerous because its such a direct link to your magical energy. It requires more control the more fire you create. I chose fire because it's very simple, and it's the easiest way to get a feel for the magic" Vissra said. "You need to focus your mind and concentrate on the flame in my hand, feel its warmth and its light. Feel it flow throughout your body." With that the ring condensed into a single flickering ball in Vissra's palm. "Hold your hands around it and concentrate."
"Okay," Lillie said.
"Focus on the heat, the flames themselves are just a result, it is the heat that creates them."
Lillie closed her eyes, concentrating on the heat between her palms. After a few moments she felt it spread, warming her body like the sun on a hot day.
"Do you notice how the heat moves? How it travels through all things near it?"
Lillie nodded.
"Good."
The warmth between her hands went out, she opened her eyes to see Vissra had extinguished the flame and lowered her hand.
"Now, your turn to try. I'm going to guide you through the sensation via our connection. We're lucky, I think, to share this. It will make teaching you so much easier." VIssra took Lillie's hands in her own. "Ok hands together, palms up. Like this," she moved Lillies hands into place, forming them like cupping a bowl. "Now, focus on that sensation of heat. Will it to pool within your hands, concentrate it on a small point. When you focus enough heat in one spot it will create fire."
Lillie did so, nothing happened.
"Don't worry, stay focused," Vissra instructed. "Now I'm going to pull your *own* magical energy into this. Normally it takes weeks or months of meditation to find that energy within yourself, but like I mentioned earlier we've got a bit of a cheat!" Vissra closed her eyes. "Keep your focus, I'll bring your magic to you."
Lillie tried to concentrate, feeling a probing sensation within her. Vissra must have found what she was looking for. Lillie tried to pay attention to remember where it was. It felt like a thin thread was being pulled from deep within her, connecting to her body and traveling up her arms to her point of focus.
Vissra spoke lightly as the thread moved, "Ok now feel the flow as it comes in contact with your foc--"
An explosion ripped the air between them and sent both women flying apart, across the room.
When they stopped moving Lillie was lying flat on her stomach near the wall. Vissra was almost three quarters of the way to the opposite wall lying still, flat on her back.
Lillie got up, dazed but otherwise completely unharmed. "Vissra are you OK?" She called. "What happened?"
VIssra's booming laughter filled the room as she sat up. "FUCK me. YOU happened Lillie! I maybe pulled significantly more magic than I should have to your spell. I could only judge the amount relative to your total magic and I very much missed the scale." She got up now with a grin, walking back toward the center of the room. "Cmon let's try again. I used your influx because that's what you'd normally do for a spell you're maintaining. But I'll draw from your reservoir instead this time since it's a reasonable size. No explosion this time I promise."
"Wait, we're not hurt...?"
"Because our bodies aren't here. It's why spaces like this are essential for practice. No real consequences," she smiled.
Lillie nodded and returned to the center, bringing her palms up in the same pose as before. Focusing on bringing heat to a point again she looked to VIssra.
"Ready?" Vissra asked calmly.
"Yes."
This time Lillie felt a much smaller thread tug out from nearly the same space as last time, so similar she hardly noticed the difference. It made its way out to her focus and when it reached it, this time gentle warmth blossomed in the space above her hands. It felt almost like touching a rock that had been outside on a hot day, relaxing heat brushing the whole surface of her palms.
"Good start, now focus it. Bring the space in tighter. Take all that heat and bring it to a point as tight as you can." Vissra directed.
As Lillie did so she felt the heat respond, drawing tighter. It started to get more difficult but just before she felt like she couldn't take it any smaller a tiny teardrop of flame ignited in the focus of her hands. It was perfectly steady, not growing, shrinking, or flickering.
"Perfect. Now you are on your own, follow that thread back to your magic, and very slowly increase the amount you're drawing until the flame is about three times the size."
Lillie did as directed. She struggled to find her source again for a moment but once she did she imagined widening the thread slightly. The change propagated through the thread instantly and the flame jumped, growing a tiny bit larger. Now that she understood, she kept adding little by little until the fire was a slightly larger ball, crackling with more energy.
"Great, now spread out the focal point slightly and see what happens."
When she did the fire grew slightly and sort of relaxed, returning to a larger version of the teardrop shape, no longer crackling.
Vissra explained, "There's a relationship between the focus point and the amount of magic you put through it. It becomes intuitive pretty quickly but we've just had a great example of too much magic in a small focal point. At least for what our goals were. If we'd wanted to blow up a small house it would have been perfect," she joked. "Keep that in mind whenever you're still getting used to a new type of magic because it's a little different for each, but once you have a feel for it it becomes second nature and not something you need to focus on each time. Ok you can release it now."
Her body shuddered as the fire vanished. It left behind a faint tingling sensation that shot down her spine.
"Whew..." Lillie gasped. "That was intense!"
"Yes, very well done" Vissra said, smiling. "I think I need to learn a bit more about how to teach you internally, but I think you're going to catch on *very* fast"
Vissra had Lillie run through a few more exercises. It took her several times to draw her magic on her own, but once she did Vissra had her practice with it, expanding the flame and reducing it again while keeping control, then moving on to focus on more than a single point and create a flame in each hand. They continued until she was exhausted and her brain felt a little like mush.
***
As they rested on a bench near the wall Lillie turned to ask Vissra a question. "So where does the river-- the influx come from?"
Vissra shrugged, "you'd be better off asking a scholar, I've got no idea really. I've always thought it's from our souls, since nothing else comes with us when we die. And mine is the same as it's always been."
"How did you lose your body? If you don't mind me asking?"
"Ahh... Well, it was because of a form of immortality I learned of. I had prepared to transfer my soul into another body of my own creation. A sort of clone. In the event of my death it was to yank my conscious to it and become my new body." She sighed, "I'd done it before, but *something* went wrong last time. I don't know what exactly but it certainly has to do with my body being here in that statue you saw. If it truly is my body and it's covered in bronze... that's something beyond the stasis it was in. It's been locked by someone. I think our best plan is to get you out of here when your training is far enough, and then we can come back when we're ready to figure out how and why."
"Can you make a new body? Why do you need that one?"
"Honestly I don't know. I'm afraid the link I set for my soul will still be active, we'd have to find a way around that I think."
"Was this your first body?"
"Sixth." She said simply.
Sensing the details might be pushing a little too far, Lillie changed up the focus of her questions. "Sooo do you get to change stuff when you make a new body?"
Vissra snorted, the change catching her by surprise. "Yeah, if I want to, as long as it still functions you can change quite a lot I suppose."
"Did you make any changes?"
"Mostly just in my coloration." She looked down at Lillie, who was smiling up at her. It was a little infectious, brightening Vissra's mood. "What's that grin for?"
"Nothing! What color were you before?"
"Mostly black with white underbelly, like you, I think that's where your colors derived from. I had flecks of gold and I liked them a lot so I played with some variations and landed on this form, which is my favorite."
"I *really* like it. It's very regal. The feathers with the gold make you look like some sort of angel."
Vissra looked away, feeling uncharacteristically caught off guard. "Thanks." She replied. And then, "the feathers actually come from the spirit I bonded with. It was an avian spirit I paired with in my first life. I wanted to be faster than all my friends, so I found it to give me greater mastery over air."
Lillie nodded, noting the sour look when Vissra had mentioned her friends. She had found a sensitive subject *again*, drastic measures were needed. "So you're telling me you were born with the foot and a half of dick I suddenly grew between my legs?"
That *really* caught Vissra off guard and she couldn't help but laugh, her big frame shaking the bench. "What do you mean?"
"I figured you had to have added it, it's WAY to big to be natural!"
"No it is. You've got all my attributes in your own way. Except my wings I guess. I think your snake attributes have mixed my anatomy with theirs a bit though. yours is definitely a bit different"
"Hmm?" Lillie prodded for more detail.
Vissra rolled her eyes, "If it wasn't for the slavery I'd say you'd really enjoy the work you're going to be doing. You're very forward."
Lillie scoffed in mock offense. Truthfully she hadn't really considered how quickly she'd been loosing her reservations and inhibitions surrounding her body.
"You showed up naked here! You can't hide from that! It's your subconscious, you show up however you feel comfortable."
"Well I can't lie, I've never felt so good about myself. Thanks for sharing that with me too..." She said, gently shouldering the big dragoness. "But don't dodge my question! How else is your anatomy different?"
Still mirthful Vissra explained, "*your* testies are internal, mine not so much. And where you've got a slit I have a sheath. Lastly our respective sizes are... relative to us..."
"Ooo" Lillie teased, shivering a little at the thought.
"I never thought I'd be the one on the back foot between us" Vissra commented. "I--"
"Can I see?" Lillie interrupted, grinning up at her.
"Gods girl, you have no boundaries all of a sudden."
"Well?"
"Go ahead" Vissra relented, playing along and motioning to her crotch.
Lillie didn't hesitate and plopped herself on the ground between Vissra's now spread legs. "Umm I might need your help," she added, referencing the plate armor pieces covering Vissra's groin.
With a quick hand motion on either hip Vissra let the pieces of cloth and armor fall away, leaving only a loincloth covering her privates.
"Ooo that was pretty theatrical," Lillie teased. "You could have just pictured them off right? I think you're getting into this."
Not waiting for a response she lifted the cloth, flicking it over her mentors leg and revealing her *impressive* endowments.
Vissra's large orbs hung low between her thighs, each one easily the size of two of Lillie's fists together. They were dark gold and looked obscenely hefty, stretching her scrotum and swaying with every movement as she shifted. The scales on her sack were incredibly fine and looked so soft.
Lillie couldn't help but reach out and feel one of those massive spheres in her hands, making Vissra twitch in surprise. It was so warm and smooth. She ran her fingers along its scaled surface and marveled at the texture as she stroked it. Trying to heft it felt like lifting a rock almost twice the size.
"Mmmf" Vissra groaned above her, eyes closed as she lost herself in the sensations.
It took Lillie a moment to realize what Vissra had meant by 'sheath'. Her brain was so distracted by the sight of the massive golden orbs it took her a minute to look up. As soon as her vision cleared she gasped, wide eyed and breathless. Vissra hadn't been lying about proportions and her balls didn't look out of place below her sheath. Just as dark gold, and covered in the same fine scales, Vissra's sheath was *large*. It looked like an over-proofed doughnut, fat and full and holding a surprise Lillie *really* wanted to see.
Vissra gasped and looked down in shock at the new sensation, only to see Lillie with her eyes closed, and her snout shoved halfway inside the tight opening. She could feel Lillie's deft tongue flicking around inside, tasting her offerings. With a husky exhale Vissra relaxed into it, letting the sensations wash over her. "Just remember *you* started this. You'd better be ready for where I'm going to take it." She threatened playfully.
Lillie barely registered her voice, too lost in the wonderful tastes and smells she had found. Her tongue flicked in and out furiously, bathing the inside of Vissra's sheath in her saliva and finding every bit of musk and sweat she could.
She quickly found it blocked by something, the thick hot *meaty* treat she'd been looking for in the first place. Slowly working its way outward Lillie's snout was forced back. Small drops of pre were already leaking from the tip and her tongue was wicking them away as quickly as it could. She positively loved the taste as it did wild things to her body, her female sex absolutely dripping and her cock already fully rigid, and bobbing wildly, often bumping into Vissra's swinging sack.
As her nose was finally shoved free by Vissra's growing cock she pulled back to get a good look at it. Quickly spilling out of her sheath it sagged under it's own weight. Onyx black it looked positively oily, all lubed up with the musky juices from her sheath. The sight had Lillie feeling giddy and she happily brought her hands up to encircle Vissra's beastly dick and encourage it to come out faster. With a hand on either side her fingers met on top and bottom with little to spare. The stimulation was enough to get it pulsing, and as it grew hard the tip drug up from below Lillie's tits, pressing against her and trailing sticky pre across her chest as it grew to flop over her shoulder.
With her mind hazy from the musk Lillie was focused on little else but stroking her partner as she nuzzled her neck against the shaft and licked it up and down.
If *her* cock had ridges Vissra's felt like it practically had tiled plate armor underneath the skin. Now that it was fully hard the bumps didn't budge as her hands passed over them, it felt like running her lube-y hands over a cylindrical washboard. Tiny schlicks and slaps sounded as her fingers fell from one ridge to the next.
Suddenly Lillie's world spun as Vissra stood and picked her up off the ground. Coming out of her daze she was sad to be drug away from VIssra's wonderful dick, but her mood quickly changed. Vissra had placed her face up lengthwise on the bench, just right to let her head fall upside down off the edge and leave her legs splayed on either side for balance.
Kneeling above Lillie's head to bring herself low enough Vissra let her cock bounce, slapping down between Lillie's tits as the sack behind it weighed down her neck.
Lillie brought her hands up to stroke the offending rod and press it against herself, smushing her tits together for it as best she could and operating on feeling alone as her head was blocked by the dragoness' thighs and sack. "Oh Gods" she moaned. This position was *so* perfect. Even though there were still obstacles in the way, she felt completely surrounded by her lover. In fact it made her hornier than ever before. Every time Vissra thrust against Lillie's boobs she could feel the ridges tease her nipples. Vissra's two feet of cock even reached far enough to rub against her own as it lay against her stomach. If anything she wished she could feel more of it.
Vissra seemed to be reading her mind (which would have made sense if she'd had any brainpower left to think about it) and leaned way back, reaching down to grab Lillie's head and straighten her neck out, aligning it with the bulbed head of her manhood.
Lillie understood her plan and let her anatomy unhinge her jaw and open her mouth wide.
"Good girl, I don't think you could have picked a better form Lillie, you're fucking perfect." Vissra's voice was husky and the richness of it made the snake girl shiver briefly before she plunged the entirety of her cock down her students throat in one movement.
Choking at first, it wasn't long until Lillie felt like she was in heaven as her teacher fucked her face. Her tongue danced around the top of the huge cock, trying desperately to wrap itself around it and failing miserably. Vissra was clearly enjoying the experience, pulling her hips back slowly and then plunging forward again, forcing Lillie to swallow or choke. The pleasure of having such a big thing crammed into her tiny muzzle combined with the thrill of being dominated by Vissra was nearly too much. It didn't hurt that the vibrations of Vissra's thrusts against her body were sending waves of delight throughout her. The dragoness' thick hands were wrapped around Lillie's neck and moving in tandem, keeping the pace steady and stroking her neck as she was used like a toy.
Vissra was grunting softly as she rode the girl's face, breathing heavily through gritted teeth.
Lillie could feel the tightening in her sack, flexing each time it impacted her face and knew it wouldn't be long before she came. Her first thought was: when Vissra did, it would probably drown her. But then it occurred to her she hadn't been breathing for a few minutes at least, and thanked whatever snake gods had given her these abilities. She focused on flexing her neck and swallowing as hard as she could, hoping to force her teacher to explode in her throat. It must have worked because suddenly Vissra went stiff and stopped moving entirely, cock shoved as deep as possible and hands tightening around her throat. A second later Vissra's entire length bulged as her cum rocketed down Lillie's throat, shooting right into her stomach in thick creamy ropes.
Vissra heldher there, riding out her orgasm and watching through half closed eyes as the stomach of her impromptu cock sleeve distended slightly from her load. When she came down she realized Lillie was thrashing her tail, legs shaking and pushing her hands against Vissra's thighs to try to get her off.
She pulled out immediately to the sounds of Lillie coughing and her eyes watering. "OH my god! Lillie I'm so sorry I didn't mean to choke you I just got lost in the moment! Are you Ok?!" she exclaimed.
Lillie struggled to speak, giving a weak thumbs up and closing her eyes. "Didn't need to breathe, but you cut off my blood-flow, which made me cum REALLY hard, but then I blacked out a little and started to panic," she explained, still coughing weakly between words. "Next time I'll be ready for it." Smiling she let herself relax, hanging limply off the edges of the bench and massaging her neck with one hand. "That was incredible!" she added after a moment. She opened her eyes to find Vissra kneeling beside her, smiling and shaking her head.
"You're insane." Vissra said, standing up and adjusting her cock as it slid back into its home.
Lillie blushed and smiled shyly. As her horniness ebbed it did seem a little crazy. "I've never done anything like that before." She sat up and looked over. "But I liked it. And I really liked doing it with you. It makes me scared to think about being an escort, and not being in control, but it felt safe with you. So thank you." Her tone had shifted from giddy to serious as her head cleared and she looked at Vissra intently, meaning what she said.
Vissra nodded and sat in front of her, bringing the smaller girl in for a hug. "Like I said we're partners." She smiled at Lillie who returned it, beaming with happiness at the sentiment. "Even when I get my body back our souls will still be bound. I'm here for you now, you saved me from a potential eternity drifting in isolation, Lillie, and I'll do everything I can to repay you for that. Because you really don't deserve the live you've been forced into, you're a kind and generous soul who deserves better than that. Do you understand?" Vissra asked, hugging her again and resting her chin on top of Lillie's head.
Lillie nodded, hugging her tightly. "I do." She whispered, her eyes filling with tears. "Thank you." She sniffled.
They sat like that for a few minutes, Vissra enjoying the presence of another, Lillie enjoying unconditional safety and comfort, something she hadn't experienced in a long time. Finally they broke apart, Lillie wiped her eyes and turned to look at her partner.
As she did, Vissra stood suddenly with a look of worry. "Dammit, I'm sorry Lillie, I lost track of time. I only have a few seconds to explain." She spoke as fast as she could, almost stumbling over her words. "This particular space exists outside time as well, but it uses a lot of my energy to do so. I lost track of time and now I've used almost all my energy keeping this space open, which means I'm going to be practically comatose just like after your transformation. Sorry but that means you'll be on your own for today."
"Oka--" Lillie tried to respond but Vissra was still going.
"Whatever you do, do not use any magic outside of these spaces. If LaVeil is anywhere near she will sense it, and it will put you in extreme danger. She will NOT react well if she finds out you have hidden ma--"
With that Lillie's world faded to black, the room they were in and Vissra disappearing instantly.
Now she realized she was staring at the back of her eyelids, a dull light signaling early morning. As her eyes opened she couldn't help but squint at the light shining through her bedroom window. She certainly didn't feel as well rested and peppy as she had in Vissra's training space.
When she stretched, she felt a chill in the air that would have given her goosebumps if she didn't have scales. As it was though she felt her nipples stiffen, brushing the fabric of the sheets. Realizing there was something else hardening, she peeked underneath the covers to discover the head of her penis sticking out. It wasn't fully hard yet but it was out of her slit a good few inches and drooping down between her legs. "Right, I think that's morning wood. I have morning wood now," she thought, laughing to herself.
She pulled the covers off completely and exposed herself to the chill morning air. Ignoring her cock for the time being she got up and walked over to the window to see the courtyard and the early morning.
It was cold and crisp, frost edging the blades of grass, the sun rising behind the mountains and casting golden rays across the sky. A small breeze rustled the leaves of nearby trees. In the distance, a flock of birds flew northward, heading for warmer climes. It was quiet except for the occasional car passing along the main thoroughfare.
After admiring the view for several moments, Lillie noticed movement beyond the trees bordering the courtyard. A dark figure walked towards one of several windows facing onto it; when he reached it he opened it silently and climbed through without making a sound or disturbing any of his surroundings. She continued watching--waiting for several moments after he passed from sight--until he reappeared through an upper door on one of the castle walls. He stepped outside onto a roof directly across from hers and for the first time she could see his face: it was Tom!
He looked different, not as much as she did; his face was still familiar although the structure was changed, looking a bit more angular. His hair had gone white and his eyes and nose looked very catlike. From this distance she couldn't tell if he had fur or just skin but it looked much more pale than she remembered. With his hood up she could only see the outlines of what she guessed were cat ears on the top of his head. He walked away from his hiding place--still without seeming to draw any attention--and proceeded into town without looking back and without noticing her watching.
Lillie hoped he could make it away safely, although with what Vissra had said about the magical control LaVeil used, that was pretty unlikely. Now she could only worry, she knew doing anything to help him or follow would only put her in greater danger. She told herself it was best if she waited till she could help herself before helping others.
She had a sinking feeling though when she noticed two guards two guards heading out on foot toward the town.
To be continued! Thanks for reading!
