Hear ye, hear ye! I have teamed up with the infamous :linkfurrybound: to bring you this riveting tale from Queen Amethysia's court! Featuring his wolf girl, Lupe!
As the last waves of vibrant colours and visions of fantastical creatures faded away, Lupe politely curtsied with a swish of her wizard hat. “And that… is but an example of the services I could provide to you, your highness.” She eagerly stated before the royal family of the kingdom of Rosalynd. On the throne in front of the wolf sat Queen Amethysia herself, flanked on her left hand side by her daughter Thya, and on the right hand side by her ward Johanna, all responding with a dignified applause. “A most impressive display, indeed.” Amethysia raised her hand to quiet down the room. “However, you are aware the position of court mage is already filled, are you not?”
Lupe’s smile dropped. “Oh… My apologies! If I had known, I-I’d never requested this audience… I’m so sorry for wasting your time.” The young wolf stammered but was hushed when the queen once again raised her hand. “It is unfortunate, my child, but it would be a shame for a woman of your talents to have wasted your journey.” She spoke in a reassuring voice, but her daughters could pick up a devious undertone. “I could teach you a talent or two that my court mage Celeste has shared with me. Allow me to demonstrate~” “Oh, that would be wonderful! I would be ever so gratef-“ Lupe perked up immediately, but this soon gave way for concern. “Wait… what is happening?”
Seemingly from thin air, sturdy strands of rope appeared around the wolf wizard, moving on their own in a snake-like fashion. “Y-your majesty, what are you doing?” The wolf cried out, when, in addition to the whirlwind of ropes, several colourful pieces of fabric materialised around her face, fluttering and waving around in hypnotic patterns. “It is a series of spells that are perfect for dealing with other mages. Observe~” With a flick of her finger, Amethysia set the cords upon their victim. Lupe couldn’t even get in any protests as one of the cloths balled itself up and pushed itself into her mouth. The magically animated ropes coiled and knotted themselves around her, binding her tightly and lifting her into the air, while soft cloths wrapped themselves over her moth to reduce the young wizard to muffled mumblings. Realising there was no way to dissuade the shrewd queen from toying with her for her own amusement, the distressed wolf tried to plead with Johanna and Thya, but unfortunately the princesses were respectively too shocked and embarrassed to do anything… or too fascinated by her predicament.
“Now pay close attention, my child, on how impossible it is to cast spells in this state, without the ability to speak any command words or draw the necessary patterns into the air~” Amethysia continued, clearly intent to rub in Lupe’s helpless state as she drifted further up to where the ropes could lash themselves around the chandelier, leaving her as a bizarre ornament. “I shall leave you to examine the results until the evening. After that, Celeste can teach you several more spells… who knows how long that will take~”
