The Mistress of the Rings

Mayl received an important message: Mary, an old friend of hers, was going to visit Den City.

10 years ago, as part of an exchange students' program, the red-haired gal met Mary. Their first meeting wasn't that good, the exchange student had issues with her emotions and always had a hard time making friends, but thanks to Maylu and others, Mary became more open and appreciated the help. After her time on the program ended, the blonde-haired gal went back to her country, but promised to remain in contact with the new friends she met during her short stay.

After that, she and Mayl became close friends, doing videocalls and sending messages between the two, at one point, she was going to plan a trip and go to see more placed in Electopia, but during the years, that idea was forgotten and they didn't interact like they used to. It went from close friends to someone Mayl would remember if she had a nice memory with her, deep on the inside she hoped to see her friend again. Luckily for her, one message after her college class finished changed would change everything.

"A message? From Mary?" She said while smiling, for the first time in 5 years, she received something from her friend.

"Hi, Mayl. This is Mary. I know we haven't talked in more than 5 years and I wanted to apologize for that. These last few years were probably the most difficult moments in my life and I needed to work on some things, my mental health was important and while I didn't want to worry my friends, I needed to take some time off. On a good note, now I feel better and at the start of the year I've been working on continuing some things that I left behind. In this case, I wanted to continuing talking with my best friend and share the good news with her: Soon I will make that special trip that we talked about! At the moment I'm seeing some details and I hoped to talk with you about this, and of course, talk with you again. When you are free, send me a message and when I'm free I will reply to you."

-Your dear friend from the past, Mary.

The reaction of Mayl was positive, she finally had news about her friend and one of her dreams was going to became true. Using the help of Roll, her NetNavi, the red-haired gal started to write a message, she wanted to be sure to mention all the important details. She started mentioning how happy she was to know something about her after a while and wished her the best with her projects, after that, she started with what has been happening during the last few years.

Mayl wanted to mention all the nice things that happened between her and her friends: How she and Lan became a couple, that Yai became the president of her parent's company when she turned 18, that Dex had to move out to be with his family, and obviously, that the four were still very close.

After Mary saw the message, she sent another one, it was a matter of time before she and Mayl would start to talk like they used to. It was a nice thing to do, with all the new stuff in her life, seeing her boyfriend travel a lot and not having that much free time to be with her friends, Mayl appreciated this kind of moments. Since Mary kept mentioning her plan to travel back to Electopia, Mayl decided to help her with anything she could.

One day, weeks after the two gals started talking again, Mary sent a message with the good news: She was going to visit the city in a few days. On the same day, Lan told her that he was going to travel to another country for three weeks, since he and his father were called to see the investigation of a fellow colleague that was residing on Neotopia.

With both news, the red-haired gal and her Netnavi started working on a schedule, she would dedicate the first half of the week to her boyfriend and the other half would be for Mary. Mayl felt lucky that both things would happen on the same week and couldn't wait for any of them. Now with her schedule done, Mayl would continue to talk with Mary about the trip and their meeting, she enjoyed that moment and could notice that Mary was also having a goof time by just reading the words on her messages.

When the week came, she did as plan, she went out with her boyfriend and enjoyed all the time they had together. After eating lunch, Mayl accompanied Lan to where her father worked and the wished him the best on his trip before kissing him. Now with her boyfriend going to work, the red-haired gal went back to her house and sent a message to Mary, who was going to come to the city tomorrow.

They talked for hours, and while she wanted to continue talking with her, Mayl knew that it was time for her to go to sleep. She wished Mary the best of luck on her trip and mentioned that she was happy to see her tomorrow before closing her laptop and going to her bed.

"Tomorrow is the day. Don't forget to wake me up at the exact time, Roll." She said while looking at her Personal Terminal. As always, Roll was prepared for everything and was going to do as planned. "Good night, Roll."

Like her friend, the pink NetNavi was happy to see Mary again, just to be sure she checked everything, from the schedule to the time when Mary would arrive, it was an important thing for Mayl and Roll wanted to avoid any problems or inconveniences. While checking the schedule for a third time, the pink NetNavi was interrupted by a message, someone send a mail and she needed to check it.

"I wonder who could it be at this time of the night?" Roll wondered before opening the mail, unknowingly for her, that was a mistake, it wasn't a regular message, it was something that would cause problems: an intruder.

The mysterious NetNavi was covered in a dark hood, being the only thing noticeable the orange eyes they had. Roll froze in panic, and while in the past she found herself with intruders coming to do their malicious schemes, it was the first time in years that this happened. Instead of attacking, the intruder wondered around, looking at the place and also taking a glimpse at Roll, who was waiting for them to do anything, from introducing themselves to attack.

After a moment walking around the place, the intruder materializes a ring and threw it at Roll, who quickly avoided the attack. With that signal, Roll started to attack the intruder, but all of her efforts were to no avail, they were faster and their attacks were doing more damage than she could resist. When the intruder threw their last ring attack, Roll couldn't avoid it and the impact made her fall into the ground.

"While I expected more of a fight, I will admit that I enjoyed this moment, and there will be more to come." The intruder said while getting closer to Roll. Finally hearing those words, the pink Netnavi deduced that it was a female Navi, she just needed to see who could it be, but it was a difficult task, not only because of the pain of her wounds but also because she couldn't think on any female NetNavi that used to antagonize her.

The Intruder simply stayed close to Roll, waiting for her to get up again, but not because she wanted to fight, she had other plans for the pink NetNavi and she just needed her to get up and be close to her. Luckily for her, it didn't take long to stand up from the ground, she was tired and hurt but she would do everything in her power to stop this intruder. Unlike last time, she had a strategy, she just needed to wait for her to threw another ring at her.

As she expected, The Intruder materialized a ring, a gold colored one that was different from her other ones. Roll expected her to threw it at her, but instead, she threw the ring behind her, flashing for a moment. Opening her eyes, Roll saw something behind The Intruder; ten golden rings. Her plan was only to use one, but with those ten it made her plan something with little to no success ratio. But the truth was, those things were not for attack, they were for something else, and Roll soon was going to be aware of their true power.

The snap of her fingers was the que from the spirals to start moving, doing it on a slow and steady pace. At first, Roll was confused, wondering why instead of attacking she used the rings to move like that, not being aware about the true power of the rings. Feeling unsure if any of the rings would fly to her direction, Roll decided to not look away from the rings, that decision being a big mistake since that was the thing The Intruder wanted.

"Good"

"Keep looking at them."

"You blink or look away, and then something bad would happen."

Even the voice of The Intruder started to sound different, Roll wasn't scared to hear it, instead she was...liking it. The Navi of the rings had an elegant and seductive tone, it was calm and a bit dominant, yet Roll couldn't help but taking attention to all she said. While the pink NetNavi struggled to deduce what was happening, The Intruder remained calm, knowing well how to play with the mind of her victims.

Roll remained still, not looking away from the rings, it was details like the way they shined and the spiral pattern that were nice to see. Soon, the pink NetNavi started to feel dizzy, believing that it was a side effect from the rings, it made since to her, if she was dizzy then The Intruder would attack her easily.

"You don't...know...I've...I've..."Roll tried to show The Intruder that she wasn't going to fall from any of her tricks, but a simple task like talking became difficult. While the pink NetNavi struggled, the Rings Intruder was well aware of the effect her power had on her and knew what she wanted to say. "You want to tell me that I'm not much from you since you fought against more powerful Navis? Is that what you want to tell me?"

She guessed it; not being the first time Roll was in these kinds of situations. Some including times where she was hurt and had no way of winning, but there were times were Roll also succeed on defeating more powerful enemies, the only difference was that she had those shiny, pretty, nice rings that were delighting her with their movement.

On that point, the intruder didn't need to talk, she let her hypnotic rings do the work. Roll lost the sense of time, not being aware that only 10 minutes passes since she started looking at the spiral pattern, yet it felt like more. She wasn't complaining, there was something nice about looking at them, like a warm feeling that made her feel calm and relaxed. The eyes of Roll started to glaze and feel on her knees, feeling dizzier than before. The Intruder went closer to her, taking advantage from the new perspective, she was taller than Roll and the Rings are on a different angle.

"Yes, go deeper for me."

"The rings like how you are taking your time to see them."

"You like seeing them, you loveseeing them, and you want to crave for more."

Roll didn't know what to do, concentrate on the rings or on the sweet voice, both were good and made her feel nice...but she wasn't supposed to fall. Taking one moment, Roll used the last of her energy to try to break free from that feeling, she was in such a state of bliss that she forgot what she was supposed to do: defend herself from The Intruder. "N... No...I... I have to...res... need to...wa...warn...May..." the spirals affected her more than before, last time she could say some words, but now even was difficult.

The Intruder smiled, enjoying the struggle of Roll, even if she didn't look at the rings directly, she was still affected by their power. Roll was on a weak state, on the edge of her mind being on that submissive point, and the Netnavi of the rings had an idea on how to help with the induction, she just needed to do a two-step plan. First, she made her look at her by holding her chin, seeing the gaze of the Intruder made Roll blush, feeling the same warm feeling than before, yet this time she felt different. She looked pretty, her eyes, her hair that came from her hood, even her body that while was covered still showed part of her legs and chest, Roll couldn't help but blush by seeing at her beauty and also having the opportuning of the Intruder caring her.

The NetNavi of the rings expected her to react positively, but she was surprised when she saw how red Roll was, she knew that the pink NetNavi was getting weaker by the moment, something that would make her job easy to do. The Intruder materialized a pendant that had a small golden ring on it and pull it closer to the face of Roll. The pink NetNavi was quiet, enjoying the view of the dancing rings and the beautiful woman in from of her, and soon she was going to feel better. The Intruder started moving the pendant slowly while Roll simply looked at it."

"Watch the pendant, my dear. See it, as it moves from the left...to the right, going on a slow pace. Be quiet and enjoy, let it take you into submission." Roll did as told, not taking her eyes from the pendant, the problem was, she didn't know on what to concentrate. She had three options; the ten spirals that never stopped with their spiral dance, the beauty of the Intruder and the shiny pendant that was in front of her eyes. The only thing connecting that three was that sweet voice of the Rings NetNavi, it dripped with seduction and made her feel calm, relaxed and all kinds of good feelings.

She felt confuse yet also good, being on the point of not resisting at all. The Intruder continued with the combination, adding some more details, like starting petting her face and making the rings go on a slower pace. She let her enjoy the view, now showing a big smile on her face, with the signal, the Intruder was aware on giving her victim some ideas, so she could manipulate the outcome of that situation easily.

"Relax, I'll take care of you."

"You just need to submit to me."

"Submit is good, if you submit, I can give you what you crave for."

Normally, submitting to someone like the Rings Netnavi would be something that Roll wouldn't do, but she wasn't in the right state of mind. In her eyes, it sounded like a good idea, giving her will for some more relaxation, it was a good idea and she was grateful for the woman in front of her bieng so considerate with her. She didn't feel worth of being with this nice lady, she needed to show her she wanted to please her, like she was doing with her.

"I know what you are thinking, and I want to tell you, is not necessary for you to give me nothing more than your will and loyalty. Just say the words and we have a deal, I will be your mistress and you will be my dear slave, whom I'll take good care." The Intruder said, explaining the deal between her and Roll.

The pink NetNavi felt better, her future mistress was fine with that simple thing, and nothing else. In the eyes of Roll, she was not only pretty, but also very fair and nice, she loved her and would do anything in her power. Closing her eyes, imagining her possibly future, Roll smiled and used all the strength she had to reveal her true desires.

"I...I... I submit..."

Sealing the dealing with those words, the Intruder stopped moving the rings and pendant and got closer to her slave. Even without her tools, the NetNavi of the rings could see that she was thinking about those images, the spiral rings and the pendant, all delighting her with their movement. She was dreaming, having the best dream of her life, the Intruder let her new slave enjoy some that moment of relaxation while petting her face. Both were enjoying the moment in their own way, but the NetNavi of the rings knew that she needed to continue with her mission.

"You will be my sleeper agent. When I put you on this state, you will go back to your trance and follow my orders. On that state, you will follow my commands and follow me." The Intruder said, giving Roll new ideas that she needed to remember. The pink NetNavi needed to learn about her new life, her new ideas, she needed to listen to her mistress, to be loyal and to do as told.

Having complete control over Roll, the Intruder did the last part of her plan, she just needed to get some of the files and to get to the settings of the PET. Since the pink NetNavi didn't want to disappoint her mistress, she did as told, giving the NetNavi of the rings what she wanted. She did some quick changes on both before leaving one thing: a pink ring.

Unlike the two other versions, this ring worked as a transmitter, the Intruder would listen, know and follow everything related to Roll and her PET. Her job was done, she hypnotized Roll, got the information she needed and even admitted to enjoy the small fight they had before she used her powers over her new slave, but it was time for the Intruder to leave. Before that, she needed to have a small conversation with her slave, to be sure everything will go as she planned.

"I would lie if I'd say I didn't enjoy our...encounter. You really pleased me, Roll, I couldn't ask for a better follower than you." The Intruder said, being aware of the effect of those words. With the new ideas in her mind and subconscious, Roll started to smile, being happy of hearing those words, she felt important and appreciated the beautiful woman that she called Mistress. "Now it's my time to go, but don't feel sad, you will see me again sooner than you expected. Before I go, I will give you some triggers, those who will be deep in your subconscious. Are you ready, my dear?

The answer of Roll came on the form of a smile, it wasn't neccesary for her to say anything, just by looking at her half-closed glazing eyes and the smile on her face was more than enough. Just to tease her even more, the Intruder got closer to her face and starting strocking her chin, making the pink NetNavi blush once again.

"When you hear the phrase Slave of the Rings you will be back on this state, the one of a dumb slave who would follow and listen to me, your divine mistress. But, when you are awake, you won't have a memory of the moment I hypnotized you nor the commands, those will be deep in your subconscious. Is that understood?" The Intruder said.

Once again, Roll didn't used words to say her answer, she closed her eyes, having again the thoughts of being controlled and dominated by her beautiful Mistress. Nevertheless, the NetNavi of the rings was pleased. She walked a few steps back, not taking her view from roll, and materialized a blue ring.

"When this ring explodes, you will wake up, with no memory of what happened. You simply looked at some files and mail you receive, and that is it."

The Intruder placed the ring on the floor and the timer started, when it went down to three, a ray of light flashed, waking up Roll in the process. At first, she felt dizzy and confused, not being aware of where she was or what happened, then Roll remembered everything: She was looking at some important files, not knowing the truth of what happened. "I can't believe this took longer than I expected. But well, at least I'm done."

Roll felt happy, but also had this relaxing feeling that she wasn't aware off, yet it actually made her feel better than before, like if a big amount of weight was lifted of her shoulders.

The pink NetNavi wasn't aware of what really happened that night, how she was manipulated and taken by that Intruder and her hypnotic rings. And while it would probably pass some time before the truth would be revealed, the Intruder was closer than she expected.

And soon, Roll would be turned into her hypnotic puppet for the next part of her plan.
