Kyria's story began here Kyria drew herself taller as she returned Master Cyrus’s stare across the council chamber. She shivered just as she had the last time she had faced him down, and she hoped that her heavy robes would conceal that sign of fear. Was that a smirk she saw? The shadows made it … Continue reading The Apprentice: The Academy, Part 2

This Game We Play
I once made the mistake(?) of referring to spanking as a game when discussing the matter with friends for whom it is an integral part of their relationship. I'd hit a nerve, that was clear, and let the subject drop. While I could see her point entirely, I'm not so sure my position has changed. … Continue reading This Game We Play
