Melisa wandered the academy grounds, her mind stuck on a single image that refused to disappear.
Aria, legs spread on silk sheets, fingers working between her thighs, whispering Melisa's name, of all people.
[It doesn't mean anything,] she reminded herself for the tenth time that morning. [People masturbate to all sorts of random shit.]
Still, she couldn't deny there was a certain element to it that kinda changed things. Namely, the fact that this was the queen. The actual ruler of the kingdom, pleasuring herself while saying Melisa's name.
Not something she could have even imagined nine years ago.
"Get it together," she muttered, kicking at a loose stone on the path. "You've got bigger problems than the queen's... masturbation habits.
Like the Shadow Mages still lingering. Or the fact that both Jaylin and Raven seemed just as reluctant as she was to give up the disc's power.
A flash of black hair caught her attention.
[Oh, Raven.]
