Blade sighed as she lie back in the warm grass and let the mild night air dry her bare skin. Her muscles ached from riding, and bathing in the cool stream had been both soothing and refreshing. She gave no care to her companions, who moved about their camp just yards away. Rynard had seen her naked before, and, though he played the cad with other woman, he would never dare force himself on her, and Syn she had given herself to willing and often, but he made no claim to her and she gave him none. Drifting off to sleep, she found her mind floating amongst strange and erotic images… scenes of perverse pleasures which grew more and more intense. Then she snapped awake, her face flushed, her heart pounding… and her greatsword, Gurthang, clenched tightly against her chest and down her body to between her legs. Quickly pushing it aside, she scrambled to her knees and shook her head clear of the demon’s foul dreams. She knew it was price of the demon sword’s service, and its power in battle had served her well. But it was times like this, when it showed just how much influence it could have over her, that she truly feared its power! Most magic items in Stormbringer are inhabited by bond demons, and these demons have needs which must be meet by their possessors to gain the demon’s service. Most demons’ needs are related to their function, like a sword which needs to draw blood whenever drawn. But Blade’s demonic greatsword, Gurthang, has the need to whisper strange and erotic dreams into her mind while she sleeps. Powerful demon objects usually have some chaotic influence over their possessors, and the more powerful the demon, the greater that influence. Thanks for looking... Hope you enjoy!
