“Now.” Eventually he stretched, wincing. “Princess, I think we are going to clean me out.”

She thought she’d misinterpreted him, but he held out his hand to her, so she took it. “Master?”

“Daran.” His correction was wry. “The set-up is already in the bathroom. I’d thought to clean you out…”

“You put yourself in my hands, Master.”

“And you did… as I expected. And now you will clean me. All of me.”

She looked at the enema kit, sitting on the basin, and nodded. “Yes, master. I will cleanse you. And then I will clean you.”

She had thought he probably would. “Yes, my Master.” She untied him, carefully, letting him down as if every knot undone was a sacrament.

“Your wrist, my Master.” She washed his hands and arms with scented oil. She’d gotten her blows in. Now it was his turn. “Your legs, my Master.”

She bowed her head when he had been freed, dropped to her knees, and pressed her forehead to the floor. “I am yours.”

“Stay.” His voice rumbled. “Stay, while I-” he grunted. “Stretch. Recover.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Silently.”

She pressed her head tighter to the floor, and silently, she waited.

Magic Mondays: Magic of the Cālenyena

Feb4

The Cālenyena term for their magic at the time of Rin and Girey is sira, or, if they’re being poetic (which they rarely do), "the press of the Universe."

At this point in time, their magic falls into three rough categories, by the gods that they worship:

  • The blue, for Tienebrah, the sea, the sky, the air.  Mind and breath.
  • The red, for Veignevar, blood, fire, violence, death, the hot season. Violence, fire. 
  • The green, for Reiassannon, life, plants, the earth. Healing. 

The Bitrani use magic in similar manners, although the Bitrani limit most of their magic to the priesthood. 

In the way the Bitrani use magic, sometimes you can see the underpinnings of their previous theocracy, which was rife with more gods than any man has fingers and toes.  

In the way the Cālenyena use their magic, you can see echoes of the Bitrani system, but you can sometimes see remnants of a far older system, the seven-peaks that formed the original proto-Cālenyena cosmology.
