Blaise Bloodwyrd strode through his laboratory with eager but controlled purpose, black and red robes billowing behind him like a dark banner. His dark eyes glittered with purpose in a face that looked far younger than its many years, more akin to a man in his mid-thirties than one in his late eighties, with a well-trimmed goatee and dark locks that had been swept back so many times by a hand brushing through them that they simply stayed that way. Magic rather than actual labor kept him fit, if not so physically strong as an orc or dock laborer, enough that he didn’t need an apprentice to assist him with menial tasks that the use of magic would be wasted upon.
Candles lit themselves as he entered the lab on the uppermost floor of his tower. Torch and lantern light from the city below filtered in through the open, barred windows. Silver Port stretched out, a thriving metropolis, one of only three in the kingdom. Many of the intelligent races gathered here for trade and politics. The Academy itself was located within the city walls. It was well known as a hub of prosperity in a land teaming with dangerous creatures, beasts and savages. Lesser known was its slave trade, but in Silver Port, you could get anything if you knew the right person to ask.
And Blaise Bloodwyrd knew many shadowy figures. Often he was called upon to perform experiments or spells most other mages wouldn’t dare perform. Curses were of a specialty to him, enchantment as well but it was fascinating to see another struggle to overcome the most bizarre of inflictions. One such curse he now suffered had nothing to do at all with magic.
His apparent youth was relatively new, and with it came stirrings he’d long since forgotten he’d ever felt. It seemed to him that as most of his youth had been spent obtaining power rather than pursuing the fairer sex, he’d earned some indulgence. And that was why the sea nymph now rested in the giant bird cage in the middle of his lab with food and drink spiked with lust potion.
She was a beautiful creature, and would do very nicely as a sexual partner, he had no doubt. And perhaps, experiment. It would be an enjoyable task to break her will, mold her into the perfect toy. Fae such as herself were notoriously fickle with magic, but then her species natural affinity with all things sexual should offset that particular imbalance. If not, it would be fascinating to see the results. Better still to partake of them.
“Good evening my dear,” he said as the room lit up, revealing tables covered in charts, graphs, tomes and parchments. Shelves lined the walls, filled to the brim with still more tomes and odder things still. An egg the size of a man’s head, a flask full of steam that occasionally took the face of a man, and a potted plant that seemed to be growing carnivorous jaws were just a few of the odds and ends. “How are we feeling this evening?”
