Bound by Tentacle and Spell 1

Laris the warlock needed an apprentice, someone with raw, untapped power that Laris could control. She needed an apprentice because her relationship with her patron, the inter-dimensional horror Kharax Trelgrarach Bobyar, was complicated to say the least. Vespera was a beautiful human woman working as a scullery maid in a bordello. She had true potential. Vespera was unaware of her potential. Laris was eager to take advantage of her. Excerpt: Laris easily moved around the taller woman. “You might want to step back.” “Why?” Laris didn’t answer her. Instead she started chanting words that Vespera heard but couldn’t comprehend. Much to Vespera’s alarm, the runes scratched into the top of the edge rocks started to glow. “I should leave,” Vespera muttered to herself. She wanted to dash up the stairs and rush out of the manor, but she knew she would quickly find herself lost in the confusing path they had traveled through the house.
