The Freedom of Slavery Ch. 08

Luckily, the walzan is shielding the room, so you don't have to worry right now. Even though we are in the shield room that we were in last time, with this first exercise the walzan wanted to be sure nothing would leak out, and the tsarzan is shielding me. One of your memories that was traumatizing has been retrieved, and you are going to learn to bring in your panic from remembering it.

The first viewing I know will be hard, but I want you to concentrate on your emotions, and control them as the feeling is in full swing. When an empath is panicking or afraid, they release the emotion out into their environment because if they kept it within themselves they could cause their heart to stop in fright.

You will visualize bringing it back into yourself, and releasing it through your feet into the ground. The second time you see it, I want you to stop any of your emotions from leaving into the air, and force them to exit into the ground.

Today's emotion is panic or fear. Tomorrow we will work with anger using the grounding technique and how to toss an emotion to someone without overwhelming them. Get comfortable, then Kali will show you the memory and help you see your emotions," Gobin instructed.

So Alza got comfortable in the middle of the floor, and walked to the jungle glen where Kali was.

"You ready?"

"It's not really bad, right?"

"No, we should be able to handle it without having a panic attack, though it will trigger a fear response, ok?"

"Alright, here goes nothing."

What she saw was a man coming at her with sadistic glee dancing in his eyes. He started shouting that she was a useless slut that needed to be put in her place. Just as the first blow landed, it ended.

"Ok, now visualize the emotion you felt, and look around the room," Gobin instructed.

She saw pulsing threads of gray; they were spilling from her and bouncing back slightly from an invisible barrier along the walls and ceiling. They were also bouncing off Gobin, but when they hit her she noticed that was when she felt her heart speed up a little.

"Ok, when the next one hits you, keep it inside yourself and send it into the ground through your feet, after that, draw a few of the threads back to you and do the same thing until the threads are no longer outside of you. Once you start drawing them in, you also need to stop more from leaving, so keep that in mind," Gobin told her.

While the first thread did her bidding easily, keeping more threads from leaving was hard. Kali sunk her teeth into a particularly stubborn thread and stomped it into the ground. But eventually they started leaving through her feet only, and when she started pulling the threads from the room, they came like dogs called back from a run, and obediently followed the other threads into the ground.

"Very good, snack break then onto the second part of the exercise ok,?"

After drinking some water and eating some cheese and crackers, she got comfortable and got ready to see that scene for the second time. As she started feeling the fear, she had to fight it to leave through only one form of exit. Instinct was telling her that she risked death by keeping the fear in her longer, but she slowly overcame the instinct and pushed the emotions into the ground.

She wasn't entirely successful; she did manage to get most of her emotions to obey. She was too tired to fight the loose threads at the moment, but a few minutes rest would help.

"Very good, both of you did great. While some still left and is floating around the room, it was a much smaller amount. Training uses up energy, so we will keep having snack breaks, but that was impressive for just starting out. After you take care of the ones in the room, I need to tell you about your emotional reservoir.

I may need to guide you to it the first time, but after that you will know the way. It is where long term emotions are, such as love, hate, jealousy, anger, or lust; but the most dangerous is fear. We are going to find and clean up your reservoir, then stop for the day," Gobin told her.

After a quick lunch, Gobin projected himself in Alza's mind so he could guide her to her emotional reservoir. But, he soon found out that it was in Kali's jungle glen, so he asked Kali if she knew what to do, and let her guide Alza instead.

"It is quite simple, my pool here is not really water, it is where your emotions 'well up' inside you and where they 'stew' for long periods of time. Come take a closer look and you will notice colors swirling around in there. The trick is, you must always keep some 'water' within the pool, or you will be incapable of feeling emotions at all, let alone controlling others' emotions.

Think of the different colors as fish, while they really represent emotions, the ones you don't want to keep or those that get too big for the pool must be caught and tossed out. I've been 'fishing' out a lot of lust, anger, and fear, so we need to work on getting those under control, but I will handle our emotional reservoir, you just need to know where it is so you can learn to handle emotions in various ways."

Alza took a good look at what Kali was talking about, and did notice some pink and grey 'fish' in the 'water', but the 'fish' were just balls of emotions, and the 'water' was just a visualization that made it easier for her mind to picture the place where her emotions resided, since water and emotions are both fluid.

After watching Kali 'fish out' one of the 'fish' that had gotten too big, she left Kali to it.

Alza and Gobin finished training about mid-afternoon, and she spent the rest of the time reading about epentes, which she would use when she had some training.

Once she was in control of her emotions enough for her to be in public, she would get a level 9 epentes, the highest level that could be sold, for her kit. In actuality, the walzan would help her train her abilities to level 10, which she was capable of, but that she would not have access to until she had accepted and dealt with the memories the tsarzan had altered.

The level 9 epentes would be used for her clinic practice, as it was just barely capable of handling her at her full strength, but it would be used in her focantes work to visualize the digestive system and how the body is affected by emotional upsets.

The level 10 was for when she needed to use her skills in the field as an offensive weapon, or as a defensive shield against emotional attacks made by the enemy.

The walzan had told her that there were three magical sets of nine level 10 epentes, nine psychantes, and nine animantes. She was to have the unclaimed stones of the sets, as they had been saved for use by the chosen one.

There had been other chosen ones, for every time Set and Loki had tried to pull a fast one the gods responded in kind. She was just the most recent, and by her being able to handle them without going insane she would proved to all that she was indeed their new chosen one.

For that to happen, she would need to embrace her past, understand how she and her cat formed one being and how to use both sides of her nature to the fullest, and understand what the path the gods chose for held. Oh, and have super warrior babies and a demi-god cub.

That night, her dreams were filled with wonder at just what she the gods had dealt her.

@@@

The next two days, she learned how to handle anger, and its many levels. After practicing how to ground various levels of anger, from annoyance to murderous rage; she learned how to let out a little anger, which came out as annoyance, and how to toss it to someone.

Then Gobin tossed it back to her so she could feel what that felt like. When she tossed it back to him, he bounced it off his emotional shield and back at her so she knew what that felt like as well. They kept up the toss and bounce routine with the levels of anger getting higher and higher.

The first day they managed to get to a level of anger that is given off when someone is angry and snaps at people before Alza started having trouble keeping it contained in the ball. The second day, about mid-morning Kali put a halt to the training.

"While I respect the need to train a currently level 9 empath how to control their anger, I am tired and can't hold on to the lust any longer, so stop playing catch with emotional dynamite and get Jahar back here because the lust keg is gonna blow. We need to lock this place up tighter than Fort Knox by mid-afternoon or you are going to have one horny horde at the compound gates."

And so, the week of abstinence was broken with a vengeance!

@@@

The doors had just shut behind him with a resounding thud when Jahar got the first whiff of his mate.

"Alza, you smell good enough to tempt Zorcon himself, but even if it is blasphemous to say, he can get a number and wait in line."

He saw that the mounting block was set up with plenty of cushions around it; the clamps, sparker, clit vibrator, a dildo, and a cock-ring were within reach of a gloriously naked and horny Alza, who was getting her pussy pounded from behind by Gobin.

"Sorry we couldn't wait, but she has been giving off faint traces of scent for the last hour, and when she started trying to take care of the cravings by herself, I just lost it," Gobin told his brother, panting from exertion and pleasure.

Alza was about to comment as well, but her explosive climax derailed whatever thought she was about to voice as she screamed Gobin's name. As she came down from her climax, she looked up in lust at an equally naked and horny Jahar, who, with a naughty grin, grabbed the nipple clamps in both hands and put them on her engorged nipples.

With a yelp at the pleasure/pain this inflicted, she waited for what she figured Jahar was going to do.

"Naughty Alza, you just had to tease my brother and make it damn near impossible for him to wait. Well, my mate, you now get to enjoy the sparker. When I am inside you, if you move before I tell you, I will have to tie you up and spank you.

I will let Gobin enjoy you for a few more minutes while I get the rest of the stuff I plan to use on you."

He came back in a few minutes with the cloth restraint set, as a reminder for her, and a blindfold. Gobin had been thrusting inside her clenching warmth since Jahar had left, and was keeping himself from bonding with Alza by a mere thread.

He knew that Jahar would kill him, if Kali didn't beat him to it.

He was to be Kali's mate, so he couldn't cum inside her while she was in human or hybrid form until Jahar had cum inside her and given her the mate bite. She would bite him where the neck met the shoulder as well.

He would do the same for her while in cat form, and give her a similar bite, and get his bite from Kali. Afterward, Alza and Kali would fully combine their souls, and then the ritual for a three-way mating would be done, in which Jahar and Gobin would have to bite each other while fucking their mate. While it was a long process, it meant lots of really hot sex and a permanent close bond to two people he loved.

"Alright Gobin, while I am happy you had the clarity of mind to put a cock-ring on first, its time for me to claim my mate."

With a groan, Gobin left the hot tight pussy he couldn't wait to fuck, took off the cock-ring and sat in a chair nearby that he had put leather restraints on earlier so neither brother would interfere with the mating process.

"Just tie me up, but I would love it if you used the newly installed restraint rings from the start."

Upon hearing that, Alza moved over to where the rings were, bringing the rest of the toys with her. Jahar tied up Gobin, knowing in a little bit it would be him in that chair, and gave his brother a look of sympathy.

He then tied up Alza so that she was spread eagle in the air, unable to move or stop any of his wicked plans. He put the clit clamp on her, which brought a gasp of pleasure/pain, and put the blindfold on. He grabbed the vibrating dildo, into which he placed a battery, and teased her clit with its now vibrating tip. He grabbed the sparker while he watched Alza writhe in pleasure from the vibrations, and switched the dildo to vibrate against her nipple clamps while he gave her a light jolt on her clit with the sparker.

Moaning and writhing in pleasure, Alza started flowing like a river with her juices. Jahar saw that she was close, and so he took the battery out of the dildo before tossing it aside while he upped the shock on the sparker. He then plunged into her tight, needy pussy, fucking her hard and balls deep with every thrust. He slowly upped the voltage with every few thrusts, till suddenly she screamed out in climax, milking his cock for his cum, which a few thrusts later he gave her, biting her as his barb struck deep inside, triggering a secondary climax from Alza, and her need to bite Jahar, which she did.

While his barb kept them locked together for a few moments, Alza finally formed the presence of mind to ask; "Jahar, what in the hell was that pinch/stab feeling I felt? I never felt that with you guys before."

"That was my barb, it only releases when we have sex with our mates, which confirms that the gods were right. When it releases, and you rest for a moment or two, you need to change into your cat form so Kali can do the same with Gobin. Kali is going to have to find a way to bite Gobin while he is still attached to her, so you can't use the mounting block as it will block both of you from biting."

A few minutes later, the barb released and Alza was untied so she could rest and get her strength back. Jahar untied Gobin, and took off the clamps and made sure that the clamps and the restraints hadn't caused any damage before he plopped down next to her.

Gobin came over with some finger snacks and a glass of water, and then went to get a dish of meat and a bowl of water ready for when he and Kali had exhausted each other. Then he plopped down on Alza's other side for a short nap.

The loss of Alza's warmth had woken up Jahar, and he was tied up in the chair because Alza had known to wake him up and tie him there a few minutes before she shifted. If she hadn't warned him that Kali would kick his ass if he made so much as a sound while she was taking her mate, he would have fought to stop her from biting too early.

Gobin woke up to Kali's nose nuzzling his throat, then biting him and breaking skin where she would place her mate mark. Before he could react however, she released him and swatted him with her paw.

"Mate of mine, I know what I am doing. Don't make me force you to submit by kicking your ass, so follow my lead. I need to have it already open because when you bite, it will put me in a confined position.

I won't be able to turn my head much because you will be clamping into most of my neck muscles used for turning my head, so I need to have my spot marked before hand. Mount me and bite me, but don't enter yet so I can check if I marked it right. If they look right, then get the party started."

Gobin changed into his full cheetah form, and the marks moved slightly, but he did as she asked. Kali was getting impatient with Gobin's humping and antics to get her to move her tail aside.

"Ok, I am going to check if I can reach and clamp onto my marks. Once we have made sure that I will be on target we can get the party started. I figured you just wanted a bite, not half the flesh from your shoulder and neck region missing or lacerated all to hell, so either cool off so we get this right or I can see if it might be possible to save your impatient ass from a bleed-out."

With that thought, she showed him exactly what would happen if they weren't careful, which killed Gobin's erection momentarily and had him sliding off her like she was about to rip his throat out right then.

"Ok, I think we should give me a second then, because our earlier fucking then watching you and Jahar has but me on a hair-trigger, though the thought of half my neck and shoulder gone was a good start."

After a few deep breaths, they tried again, and Kali found that her instincts had guided her right. Gobin got off her again, but this time they both knew that it was on. Gobin rubbed his body along hers; blending their scents and when he got to her hind quarters he nipped her tail as he smelled her, trying to convince her to move her tail.

After a swat at Gobin's face for his cheekiness, she moved her tail aside and grunted her assent. Gobin mounted her for the third time, this time thrusting his cock into her waiting pussy. He held the scruff of her neck in his jaws as he started hammering her pussy with animalistic fury.

Soon, both of them were nearing their climax, then Kali let out a scream as she reached her peak, then Gobin released her scruff to bite the right side of her neck where it met the shoulder, as Jahar had done to the left. As he bit her, his barb shot out and latched them together for a time.

He let go so that Kali could get at his right as well, but as she had said, her neck muscles were out of action for the moment and she just managed to find the holes her upper canines had made and closed her jaws on the lower marks.

Without the holes to latch into as a tooth-hold, she would have sliced half his flesh off in an attempt to place her bite. Gobin was glad she had kept her cool enough to place his safety above her urges, and now knew the answer as to why Kali was his mate.

Her cat was strong, and his was weak; so she needed a cat that could be under her protection and he needed to be protected. It was the main reason why he was the carzan; his cat was the least dominant of his brothers, meaning he was the one they protected the most and whose voice outside his healer's opinion was valued the least.

Now however, it looked as if Kali was willing to allow for an almost equal balance of dominance, as long as he never tried to make her submit and listened when she said that things needed to be done her way.

When the couple was able to separate, Gobin shifted back to his hybrid form so he could untie Jahar and get something to eat. Jahar brought over the meat and water bowl to a thoroughly exhausted Kali, and then went to go take care of the erection he got from watching the mating. Kali yowled at him, then nosed a cock-ring, flashing her teeth in a mischievous and threatening grin.

Jahar got the hint, and hoped round three was not long in coming. Kali ate the meat and drank some water before plopping down on the pile of cushions for a nap and so she wouldn't be upright when her soul fully combined with Alza's, as that normally knocked people unconscious.

She would feel the same sensation later, when all three of them combined parts of their souls in the three-way bond, but at least she would have company in unconsciousness.

@@@

The human Alza stood before the cat Kali in a void of their mind, a space that had been left neutral so that neither would have the advantage. While this place would still remain for when one form was needed over the other, once the ritual was complete, their mental bodies would combine to form her hybrid form, which would be her permanent mental image of herself.

"Two souls become one, one mind, one body, one soul. For better or for worse, one mind, one body, one soul. Equals till the strengths of one form are needed, ideas heard and respected, knowledge and instinct honored, one mind, one body, one soul." Alza said, starting the ritual by kneeling and holding out her hand.

Kali repeated the ritual words, placing her paw in Alza's hand.

"Gods will be done, so shall it be," they chanted together, completing the ritual.

As they said 'be'; they both felt a tug toward where their hand and paw met, before they fell into each other and only their hybrid form was left. This form watched as another figure appeared, a white cloak hiding its features.
