Kaa: Pet of the snake charmer
Tysha was now walking in the deep jungle, accompanied by her recently charmed friend, Kaa. Smiling confidently, she knew such a feat would go down in legends, as the python was known to all for his wits, tricks and intelligence, yet she had been strong and skilled enough to put him under her influence, turning him from a terrifying scourge to her most loyal and loving pet.
It had not even been a few moments since she had performed this task as she walked back to the palace that Kaa was following her diligently and closely. It seemed like the snake did not want to lose his new mistress, protecting her from any harm like the devoted pet he was. Fortunately for her, there was no danger or trouble ahead of her, walking with no stress or fear to her goal.
Thinking about it, she felt kind of great and invincible, now that she knew that Kaa had succumbed to her charms and that he was now hers. It made her remember the uncertainty she felt when she discovered those magical powers of hers when she was younger. She had been one of the most recent addition to the harem at that point, a mere youngling brought there to become one of the future pleasing girl of the sultan. Normally, they paired two of three girls together with a more experienced harem girl in order to make the most of the teaching they gave to the young ones.
Remembering it like it was yesterday, she could see in her memories the huge gathering she had been part of, when the sultan was still respected among the land. It seemed like everyone wanted their girls to be close to the sultan, either to live a better life or to remove a mouth to feed. Unfortunately for her, it had proved to be the latter motivation for her parents, who possessed too many children. Seeing the opportunity to just give off a child to feed and get some of the sultan good grace, they gave her off without a shrug. It was true that they were a large family and food was scarce, but the coldness of the move did not help her get over it.
As she was lost in the huge crowd of young girls surrounded by women in revealing clothes, she had been afraid for what it meant for her future. Thankfully, fate had been kind to her, as she had gathered the attention of the caretaker of the harem herself, an old woman who did not seem like she fitted in at first glance. She remembered being afraid when seeing her for the first time, like a crazy old witch with long white hair and dry skin, yet she had quickly turned to be the surrogate mother she had always desired.
As it turned out, the old woman, named Ysma, had been gifted with magical powers and had sensed them out in Tysha as well. Hoping to teach her the art of the harem girl as well as the ways of magic, she had taken her under her wing, a peculiar thing at the time, since the caretaker had to take at least two or three more girls at the same time. She had refused and it seemed that it was the end of that, as no one ever complained about this, not the guards or the sultan himself doubting her decision. During many years she learned about magic, dancing, being pretty and secret ways to please man, also learning to trust and love this woman, seeing her more as her guardian and mother than her own ever was.
It was her who helped craft those items she used to channel her magic, helping her understand her huge potential. It seemed like if she used her magic without those items, it would mean danger, as Tysha was just too powerful and unfocused as a magic user. Creating a few objects to help her focus and concentrate some spells, they were enchanted to do some specific tasks with ease. The first was a flute to charm snakes, the second some earrings to help her sing better, the third some slippers to walk with stealth, then a ruby to make her dances incredibly mesmerizing to the viewers and so forth. She had made at least a dozen for her pupil and personal favorite.
The day she had told Ysma that the prince himself was smitten with her; she was overjoyed, as it meant quite a lot for a royalty to choose a favorite among the many girls. That night, she had drunk alcohol for the first time as they celebrated the huge victory it meant for Tysha. However, the good times were not to last very long, as many things occurred, almost all at once. The first and most important to the kingdom was the rebellion of the many villages from the will of the sultan. Tired of being subject to a man who just kept on sucking them dry of their food and women, they had decided to stop sending tributes, stopping their respects when they finally saw that they could live without the sultan. This was what caused the lost of respect from other nations and lands toward the sultan, who had lost the respect and servitude of his own people.
She did not have much knowledge of how this affected her life and those who lived in the palace, but the sultan was not pleased, to say the least. The second thing that had occurred, the one most important to Tysha herself, was the death of Ysma. It was something that had to happen, of course, as she was very old, but it was painful nonetheless. Having lost the one who had raised her in the ways of magic and seduction, she had cried for days, not imagining life without her beloved mentor. The only thing that actually got her out of this state of sadness and pain was the prince himself, Zabir. He went to see her each day, trying to soothe and make her happy despite the intense ache she felt in her heart. It was at that time that she also felt in love with him, seeing that he did not just see her as a piece of meat ready for sex anytime, but as a lovely girl who he actually cared for. It was at that time she decided to fulfill her wish to be with him and make her mentor proud like she had been when they celebrated the fact that Zabir was smitten by her beauty. It was the best tribute she could have thought of.
Still lost in her memories, it was like nothing could affect her anymore, a sensation of being untouchable and powerful gathering in her mind. All her lessons of magic coming back to her when thinking of Ysma, she looked at the first object she had created for her: the snake-charming flute. Seeing it and remembering the magic powers within it, she was confident she could command the hypnotic python and he would obey her without any hesitation, delighting in performing a task for her. However, there was the shadow of a doubt in her mind. What if Kaa had lost some of its abilities when falling for her charms? Ysma had always told her that magic was chaotic in its very nature; two spells could mix together and create a new one altogether with effects unknown.
The tales of Kaa the snake never told if he was enchanted or even magical in nature or not. What if her own spells and charms had created something she could never have foreseen? Perhaps he thought he was a dog now or he turned to a simple snake, for all she knew. If he was magical, her spell could have changed everything that he was. Magic was just so much filled with bothersome little details, she did not know if she had actually won or if Kaa was actually in her thrall. She had to be sure now, if he was truly hers and if he could still perform what he was rumored to be able to do. Looking at her pet snake, she was ready to test her fears.
-Kaa, my sweet and loyal pet, answer me these questions...
-As you wish, mistressss...
Hearing his serpentine voice, it eased her a bit, at least knowing that his sentience was not lost under the snake charming spell he was under, some of her worries now gone.
-Can you still use those rings of colors that you tried using on me before?
-Of course mistressss. Let me show you...
Unable to voice a complaint before it was too late, Tysha saw Kaa develop his pupils into fast rings of colors, her eyes fixated on their beauty. What she had tried so hard to resist during her duel of will with the snake had come back now, giving her the luxury to see and experience what she had been missing. The sly snake, seeing his mistress being receptive to his talent, continued, letting her enjoy the bliss he could give.
Unable to catch on the assault of colors coming from the eyes of her pet, Tysha own eyes began mimicking the colors, her pupils shrinking down to pinpricks to let the colors flow more easily in her eyes. Forming a weak smile, she tried to gather her will, forming some sort of resistance. It was hard, though, as the colors made it very tough to think properly, waves of bliss washing her mind away to nothingness. Still, she was not a mere animal or small child to be swayed with easily, as her lips moved to speak to her pet.
-Please...stop it...Kaa...I command you...to...
Understanding the command very well, the colors stopped abruptly, the eyes of the serpent returning to their normal yellow color. The change was a little slower for Tysha, though, as the harem girl needed to return to reality, the bliss and numbness fading away. Why did she doubt herself so much, she thought. It was the one weakness that held her as both a magic user and a seduced, Ysma had told her, countless times at that. Doubting her potency as both, she had shamed her and Ysma's teachings all at once. With this in mind, she returned to herself after a few seconds, feeling afraid, as some mere seconds of seeing those powerful eyes were enough to turn her close to helplessness. It was a truly powerful and terrifying thing that he had such a high power of persuasion and mind control. She was glad that she now knew for sure he was hers in a total way.
Now sure that nothing had been lost on her recent acquisition, she waved for him to follow her, needing to get a move on to the palace before it got dark. Despite her magic and her protector, she was not eager to spend a night in the jungle. Who knew just what kind of ferocious and hungry beasts could be lurking around?
On their way back, Tysha heard the distinct sound of footsteps on the vegetation and ground of the jungle, a sound she had to know if she was to survive in this type of environment. It had not been her first time in the jungle, as she had come here much before charming Kaa to her power with Ysma, testing her objects and magic on animals. Climbing up a tree to hide, she was followed by Kaa who got up on her branch with ease. Looking down with no fear of being spotted, Tysha saw two persons walking beside each other. It was two young adults, seemingly weakened by the harsh condition of the jungle. One was a boy wearing a loincloth, with a slightly darkened skin, while the other was a young woman who could be truly beautiful if she had been clean and with better clothes. Hearing a part of their conversation, she could not help but be interested by what they had to say.
-...Shanti. I don't know if we'll make it back.
-Don't worry Mowgli, we'll be in the village soon. It's true we never went as far in the jungle, but we've got to be okay. We won't perish in this jungle. We have an important task to do anyway.
-Yeah, I know. It's just that I'm not sure where the sly snake is and how we'll deal with him. Why are we even the one dealing with him anyway?
-Because we have dealt with him before and survived, something that a lot of people cannot claim to have done. The snake is dangerous and you know it, Mowgli. People are afraid of him and what he could do, which is why he needs to be dealt with. With Shere Khan gone, he's the only one left who is seen as a threat.
It seemed like those two people were looking to kill Kaa, the snake she had spent time charming and her ticket for a wedding with her beloved Zabir. Unfortunately for them, Tysha was not ready to let them get her new pet this easily. These two must have been part of one of the villages that had rebelled against the sultan, as she did not recognize them at all from the palace. Not sure what to do about those two, an idea came o her mind that could help her very much in her position. What if she used her magic and Kaa to enslave them to her will? That way, she could show them to the sultan, impressing him even more with the capture and enslavement of two rebels. It was killing two birds with one stone, ensuring the good graces of the sultan, which would make him even more willing for her to marry the prince, but it would also ensure to him that something could be done about those villagers. Whispering her plan to Kaa, he smiled at her in reaction, ready to obey her command without any hesitation.
Kaa went on a different tree, feeling a bit sad to be apart from his mistress, yet she had commanded as such. Looking at the two humans walking on the ground, he let his tail down close to the soil, swinging it stealthily. Without making a sound, he snatched up the girl-cub as she was walking at a slower pace than the man-cub, bringing her up to his branch. Covering her mouth with a coil, he would have to do what his mistress bode him to do without her rising any sort of alarm.
Tysha, on her part, inserted the ruby Ysma had made for her inside her navel, the one created to greatly enhance the effect of her dance on her spectators. Seeing that Kaa had done his part of her plan wonderfully, the young man was all alone. Ready to act upon this, she jumped out of the tree she was in, landing gracefully before him. Seeing him being startled by her sudden appearance, she took the initiative and began swaying her hips in front of him, her harem-girl training by Ysma showing before this stranger. She had to make sure that he would see her dancing for a few seconds, then the spell would be set in his mind.
Kaa, on his branch, looked a bit at his mistress dancing in front of this stranger. He would have loved to watch her sway like a snake, a bit jealous that this man-cub got all her attention, but he had to look away now, as difficult as it was. He had a task to perform for her and he would not disappoint her in the slightest. Focusing all his attention to the girl-cub, he could see her try to struggle free from his hasty coils, desperate in her attempt for survival. He had no idea why exactly his mistress wanted her and the man-cub, but he was not one to question her motivations. Not motivated by vengeance or hunger this time around, he gave the girl-cub no chance whatsoever to protect herself, unleashing his colorful eyes before hers immediately.
Shanti, unprepared for a quick assault on Kaa's part, never had the chance to look away from his mesmerizing eyes, despite desperately trying to. Remembering the first time he took control of her, she dreaded and feared what would happen to her; having memories of the effect those spirals could have on her. The sensation of helplessness would become overwhelming and she would grow to enjoy it, she knew, but it would be a lie told by the snake and his eyes. Still, the eyes kept on spinning their devious colors in hers; trying to lure her into a web she was not sure she could get out of.
Tysha, meanwhile, concentrated on the young man in front of her. A well-trained harem girl like her would not have any trouble distracting and seducing one such as him. She knew of her reputation in and out of the harem as one of the most beautiful and talented, being respected and hated at the same time for those qualities by the others. Thanks to Ysma, she knew she had deserved that reputation and those praises. Remembering the times she had tried this dance on Ysma and other girls, she knew how to properly do it to make it effective with her magic, but this was different, as he was a male, susceptible to her charms. She had to build it slow, but not too much as it would be drag, yet not too fast to make him suspect what she was doing. Spinning her belly a bit before his eyes, she hoped she would remember to do it properly like she had been taught to.
Mowgli, suspicious of this woman who had appeared out of nowhere, looked at her, trying to inspect her a bit. She was dressed a bit suggestively to be a villager or a lone wanderer of the jungle. There was something fishy about this, as before even introducing herself, she danced in front of him. It was pretty, to be sure, but it made close to no sense. His eyes wandering off on her body, he caught the sight of her belly and the ruby lodged in her navel. Strangely, he found it kind of interesting now, even though the dance was unnecessary and he wished he just knew who this woman was.
Kaa, witnessing that the girl-cub had succumbed to the temptation of his eyes, began hissing softly, his forked tongue sticking out. Trying to subtly soothe the girl spirit, he would ease her into this bliss. He could not talk, as the mistress asked him not to, wishing that the man-cub would not hear his voice up in the tree, alerting him to his presence. Obeying her wishes, he would do so quietly and subtly. Approaching his eyes toward the girl-cub, there was no reason not to give it all in one go. Nothing but the best for what the mistress wanted.
Shanti, feeling a bit overwhelmed, could not notice the hissing. It had an effect on her mind, however, as she began struggling a bit less, her efforts weakening. The colors beginning to invade her mind and eyes, she felt the familiar bliss once more, fearing for her mind once more. The closer proximity of the colors to her vision did not help her very much in this, a smile appearing on her face despite her trying to resist, making her look a bit goofy in the process.
Fully concentrated on her task, Tysha swiftly and gracefully danced toward the man, not stopping her dance of seduction and control. She could see that he was suspicious, but she needed to make him notice other details, like her charms and allure along with her magical dance. Her belly undulated, her navel bobbed and her hips swayed with a sensuality that was unmatched, making her appear like some kind of jungle goddess, a divine beauty.
Mowgli felt a certain desire to go to her, but he had a certain reservation about it. It would have been very bad to just let his urges take control of him, as this dance kind of remembered him about Kaa in small ways. It was pleasant to the eyes and made his mind kind of cloudy when he watched it, but it was just so tough to simply stop setting his sight on her. A simple peak could not be so bad, though, could it?
Kaa, knowing that the smile Shanti showed meant that she was close to falling for his hypnotic skill, doubled his efforts on her. His eyes now inches away from hers, he made his rings of colors appears in a fast barrage, wishing to just overwhelm the mind and will of this girl-cub. The mistress would want her as quickly as possible, that much he was certain of.
Shanti resistance was crumbling, her defence weakening in front of the endless colors that just flowed and totaled her vision. She could not see anything else now, unable to concentrate visually on anything else and unable to close her eyes. She was helpless once more, like when she was younger and the snake had tried to eat her. Her thinking process becoming slower and duller, her mind began filling with bliss slowly but surely, her smile widening at once. The spirals were now replacing her pupils and normal colors of her eyes, her trance beginning truly now.
The belly-dancing of Tysha, all the while, kept on progressing to higher level of beauty and allure, although she was unsure if she was mesmerizing the man with the sheer audacity and sexiness of the whole deal. Her belly bended along with some serpentine and fluid motions of her arms, all accentuating the movements of the stomach. It was not the best show she ever gave, but she hoped it would suffice for this young man, as he was looking at her with eyes that told he was at least beginning to fall under.
All he could see now was the belly, moving in patterns that seemed to fit no stomach motions he could understand. It was strangely alluring and arousing to his eyes, as it twisted and shaped itself in forms that no belly could ever fit in. The only thing that was incredibly clear to his sight was the red and shiny stone lodged in her belly button, sparkling for his eyes. His eyes glued on it, he followed it, his head swaying in rhythm with the dance. His eyes replicating the sparkles emitting from the ruby, he was caught in her sexy spell, albeit he would never know it. Her dance was beginning to truly have a hold on his mind, his questions being silenced as he made up reasons to continue watching the dance for at least a bit more time.
Kaa, recognizing the sudden expression found on the girl-cub face, knew that she was now close to being his. Strengthening his coils on her, he knew she could not make any effort to escape now, as his eyes had got her mind in a twist now, ready to submit.
Shanti, having no resources left in her head to fight the alluring colors, began submitting to their beauty. Why she ever resisted, she thought. They were just so interesting and soothing, making everything easier for her, making her thoughts go away. No more stress or fears or such silly things as the colors would just let her be at peace and in pleasant bliss. With these kind of thoughts floating in her head, it did not take much time before her mind went *PING*, signaling that the trance was complete. Shanti had submitted to Kaa and his hypnotic powers once more.
Tysha, being now very close to Mowgli, tantalised him with her hypnotic belly-dance that Ysma had taught her. Her belly rolling and waving before his very eyes, she could not even imagine him resisting at this point, as she had seen him set his sight on her for quite some time now. All he needed was some incentive and a little treat and he would be hers, just a little something special to convince him of submitting. Taking his hand, she approached it to her stomach.
Mowgli, not resisting her touch and slow and sensual dance, saw his hand approaching the very object that caused him so much temptation. Weak in mind and body, any complaint he might have died when his palm and fingers felt her belly. How smooth and delicate it was, warmth that was very pleasing to his senses. His eyes dead-set on the ruby while his hand felt the very desirable part of the alluring woman, his mind was shutting out to let him experience both these things to their fullest. It was, of course, what set him to submitting his mind, as the sparkles of the ruby dominated his pupils, a smile of satisfaction appearing on his face.
Tysha recognized this face as the one those who had fallen for her spell had when she captured their imagination and spirit with the hypnotic belly dance. Feeling great and confident now, she looked up in a tree nearby to see if Kaa had finished his session as well. Seeing Kaa advance toward her, she was pleased in the synchronicity of their inductions, looking at the girl with huge colorful eyes and a smile that betrayed how enthralled she was. Motioning for Kaa to uncoil the girl next to the young man, she was ready to give them instructions and to guide them toward their new lives. As Kaa obeyed gleefully, she looked at them, seeing the sparkles and rings of colors in their respective eyes. They were helplessly hypnotized, it was clear.
-Listen to me, for I am your mistress, the one who put you in this happy and pleasant sensation.
Mowgli and Shanti, both in their trance, heard the voice as if it was coming from everywhere, their senses not quite theirs to control or perceive as they should. The voice both terrified and fascinated them, as they were ready to listen to what it had to say.
-From now on, you shall obey me and my snake pet. When you hear a command, you will follow it. When we ask for something, it is your task and desire to comply. You love the snake, but adore the mistress even more. He is the master, but I am the absolute mistress.
Their sense of self and their mind not quite what they normally were, they processed these statements as truths. Shanti, accepting that Kaa was her master, did not recognize the voice as being his, identifying it to the absolute mistress. Mowgli, meanwhile, knew not who the snake was, but the great mistress was most assuredly this dancer, one who he would gladly obey without any hesitation.
-Now rise and follow your mistress and her pet snake, for you will be shown your new tasks and new home very soon...
Rising up, they followed suit, walking behind the snake and the mistress, ready to see their amazing new life in servitude to this great person. Seeing them follow like good little slaves, Tysha could not resist putting on a smile on her face. It seemed like she would have one thing or two to say and show to the sultan, something that would interest him very much...
