This choice: When you get home, you find Sashra very demanding and choose her. • Go Back...Chapter #5When you get home, you find Sashra very demanding. by: Mr. George You see the harassed face of Hassam, once you return home. Sighing, it's clear he's been bullied by the harem girls. His authority as chief eunuch, and immune to their influence means he's targetted for their abuse.
It seems that Sashra was the woman who led the revolt, and kept her harem sisters aggravated about their status. Patting your pocket, you have the perfect way to put her in her place. A reduction from harem girl, to hybrid, will take the edge from her arrogance. A chilling reminder that her power flows through you, and even if you relent, she'll still have to bear having been a centauress.

Dismissing him, you don't want to tip your hand, as you visit the harem. Praising them all for their wits and beauty. Naturally, Sashra preens and claims her crown as the unofficial, but unchalleged head of the harem. Promising her a reward, you invite her to accompany you on a ride. Naturally, she accepts, as your company, and favour is the currency that's traded in their world.
She walks proudly at your side to the stables. Glorying in this display of power and prominence. You choose your favourite mount, a strong willed battle horse, a stallion. You're a little surprised to see that Sashra goes for an equally willful horse, though as a harem girl.
A chestnut mare that even Mistress Jasmine found to be difficult. You dose the horse's water with some of the violet potion. Keeping the amber mixed in with the water you have set aside for Sashra to enjoy after a vigorous, ride on a warm day.

The ride is leisurely, until you clear the city boundaries. The open fields an invitation for both your horses to stretch their muscles, and you find that Sashra is more competitive than you realised. That she doesn't just compete, but she seems to picture herself besting you, a rather sticky situation for yourself.
But your mount is stronger, as you slow him, allowing Sashra to catch up. Her horse sweating profusely, her skin glowing and glistening with her efforts to compete. You offer her the bottle that will change her life to a new path. She accepts it without question. You manage to hide your excitement about the upcoming events. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
