8-03: Lilith Makes Her Debut

"Great job. You've mentally handicapped one of two princesses of this kingdom." Lilith said, hovering over the two girls.

"Uh... how long does this last?" Veronjca asked ,poking Eleanora's cheek, getting no response.

"Less when, and more if. There's always the possibility she never recovers. Though, she could be like Priscilla, and recover and be high-functioning."

"High-functioning?"

"When some gets mind broken like this from a Hakano, though maybe other races can cause it, they'll typically have four different outcomes. A high-functioning broken person will be good as normal, but can only be sexually satisfied by the person who broke them the first time. Then, There's a huge jump to medium-functioning, who can really only form very basic sentences and can do a few things by themselves, but 99% of their time is going to be sex. Low-functioning can only do single word sentences, and would need help everywhere else, as they only do anything while having sex. Then you have non-functioning, basically just a doll with a heartbeat."

"So I could've basically just ruined her entirely...?"

"Yup."

"And, uh... I assume that was also rarest to most common?"

"Mhm."

"And I don't suppose you know how long it takes to tell?"

"It's completely random. Some can take hours, some can take weeks, I've seen a time where it took some 32 years before they recovered. And of course, those who never do."

"So basically, just gotta cross my fingers."

"Yeah. Sounds about right." Lilith said, putting a hand on Veronica's shoulder, which surprised the both of them. "Wait... I can touch you now?" Her eyes darted over to Eleanora. She attempted to poke her cheek, only to pass through the girl.

"So you can only touch me. I wonder if you're now visible to the others?"

"Shall we go see?"

"Uh..." Verinica wondered if she should leave Eleanora like this. It wasn't like she could only recover within Veronica's presence. "Sure. Let me put my clothes on first."

As soon as the two went out the door,, everyone was in a combat stance, except for Kazue.

"Who is she?" Sable asked, all the girls wondering about the intruder.

"Girls, this is Lilith. Lilith, the girls."

Lilith waved her hand and floated around the space, taking a "seat" next to Kazue.

"I'm glad I'm at least visible to everyone else now. It was a bit lonely only having Veronica."

"You also had me." Kazue said, sipping on some tea.

"Only in your dreamscape. Speaking of which, how are the kits?"

"Kinu is all mature now. She's been learning how to use a naginata."

"Oh, interesting. And the rest?"

"Still rambunctious troublemakers. I think I'll bring them out here soon."

"Oh, how exciting!"

Aside for Veronica, all the other girls were confused as to why, or even how, Kazue knew Lilith.

With Lilith's own happiness overflowing, she flew over to Veronica and gave quite a lovely kiss. She was most certainly the most experienced person at that in this room.

"Let's all get to know each other, yes?"

Lilith went off to mingle with the other girls. Though, Cassidy was still a bit distrustful.

"Are you sure we can trust her? She did take over your body a while back."

"She's also the one who's been keeping me alive." Veronica said, placing a hand over her heart. "She's the one who stopped it."

These words easily convinced Cassidy that Lilith might not be so bad. In fact, she was so convinced that she started to cry. Veronica embraced her, stroking her hair gently.

"Why are you so tall now..." Cassidy quietly asked through her tears. "I was supposed to be the tall dominant one, but now your a whole head taller than me!"

Veronica responded with a chuckle and a teasing kiss to Cassidy's neck.

"If I were shorter, I would be able to do that anymore. Rather, I would be covered in hickeys 24/7."

"I can still make that happen."

The girls laughed as they joined their friends. Veronica felt oddly warm inside. It must be from the pure happiness from all the girls.

At least, until a fireball came shooting from Veronica's hand without any sort of practicing and knowhow.

"How did I...?"

"So that's what the amulet does. It removes this new system restriction from anyone wearing it." Lilith said in amazement.

"As in...?"

"You can use magic."

"Cass. Teach me?"

"Yes! Ah, I mean... sure." Cassidy tried to hide her own extreme happiness from Veronica's newfound abilities, and that she wanted her teachings.

Magic, Lilith can interact with everyone now, and Eleanora may or may not ever recover and go back to normal. Definitely an interesting day.
