The Baroness finally gets the update I’ve been wanting for her for a long time. One where she looks like one of the most powerful warlocks as well as the dominant mistress she truly is. So feast your eyes on this new version of Penelope. The Baroness Supreme, The Soul Stealer.
Penelope’s lips curled into a soft smile as she peered out across her domain, her eyes turning downward to the feeling of warmth resting against her bared thigh. Lauren was there as she so often was, her cheek rubbing affectionately against the firm toned upper leg of her mistress. Reveling in the perks of being the favorite plaything of the Baroness, her handmaiden, and even sometimes her consort.
Penelope ran her fingers through Lauren’s hair with a gentle stroke until her hand settled on the side of her head, her digits curling under her chin from the side. She turned Lauren’s gaze upward to meet her own. Her long dark cloak billowed in the wind as it waved to the side, as if a shroud of darkness enveloped the human girl at her feet. And in someways, it truly did when she stood alongside that mighty woman.
The pair locked eyes, holding their gaze upon one another. A silent hold of synchronized thoughts between a dominant and her sub. Lauren offered a comfortable smile to her mistress, as The Baroness did so in return. Penelope’s thumb stroked at the cheek of the human at her feet affectionately.
Lauren rarely left her side or was never far from it at the very least. Not since other slaves had attempted to kill the favored pet and handmaiden of their captor. To strike a most heavy blow to Penelope would have been something glorious, especially under her own roof. Alas, it was met with failure and the consequences of their actions would meet them on this day. She would take their lives, but not waste their souls. Those still had a sinister, dark purpose beyond their mortal coils.
Penelope still held Lauren’s head, her gaze still locked up to hers as she stamped the end of her staff into the ground. Screams emanated from a sickly green glow just outside Lauren’s peripheral vision, she instinctively tried to look, but Penelope denied her. The strong grip of that mighty woman, keeping her eyes locked firmly on those piercing emerald ones looking down at her. They glowed brighter than usual throughout the dark deed she performed
“Keep your eyes on me, Lauren. Always on me.” Penelope said softly to the backdrop of pained screams. “You need not look at this deed, only understand it’s meaning.” She added firmly.
The Baroness’ body tensed up as her staff took in those souls, acting as a conduit for her to absorb the very life force of those poor folk into herself. Each one that entered the staff and then her body made her feel stronger, younger, and she delighted in it. A beautiful monster.
Then, just as quickly as they had started, the screams fell silent. A deathly silence rolled over the area around the Baroness and Lauren. Only the bubbling of fel lava and the distant ambient sounds of her lair. Penelope turned her gaze down to her favored slave once more, smiling softly.
“Come, my dear. I’d have you bathe my body of this ash and dust.” She’d command softly. She had barely any on her, truth be told, but she was ever the kind to be at her best and most clean as much as she could. By comparison, Lauren was much more filthy, having crawled on a chain leash attached to Penelope’s gauntlet through the dirt and ash.
“Yes mistress~” Lauren replied loyally, bathing that body was always a privilege she enjoyed.
“And Lauren.” Penelope said firmly, pausing as she stroked the girl’s face. “You don’t mingle with the other slaves anymore. Your value is far beyond theirs. You will remain by my side or very nearby at all times, am I understood?” Penelope added, her tone serious and with a tinge of sincerity in it.
Lauren knew this was perhaps as close as being told by Penelope that she cared for her. She bowed her head and kneeled downward to place a kiss on felsteel boot closest to her.
“Yes mistress. Your will is my command.” She replied, sincerely and loyally.
The Baroness’s favorite.
