Out Of The Abyss

Stella used Kir's body in ways so creative, that he hoped he'd remember them later for Kordia and Rain.

Not once during the process did the Forbidding placed on him activate, even when she caused him some painful pleasure. Afterward, they speculated that it was because she was his familiar and he didn't recognize the pain as an attack.

After picking himself up off the floor, Kir noticed a small object stuck to his arm. He plucked it off to see that it was one of the seals from his ear. Stella confirmed that it had left a circular gauge, but very careful poking on her part proved that it could now be safely removed.

Inspecting both pieces, Kir accidentally applied too much pressure to the former seal, causing it to shear into dozens of tiny circular sheets. Each one of them was etched with magic circles, meaning that whoever had designed the seals had layered them with spells that even Chancellor Lumin hadn't seen... or perhaps hadn't shown Kir.
