Kat PoV
My eyes lingered on the man and the young girl for a few moments more before I looked back down at my notebook, flipping to a page and writing down all four of my primary lusts so that I could go over them further, trying to find a way to perhaps link them together and create an interconnected web that would empower one another.
With the list complete, I let out a low sigh as I tapped my pen against the page, taking a few moments to think it over before deciding that for the time being, focusing on one would be enough of a start to try some of my many hypothesis.
The one I chose was the one that was rather simple and important enough for cultivating this 'new' power that I was finally able to think of harnessing; I went with my lust to become strong enough that my three lovers would never, ever feel the need to ask someone else for help ever again.
I could enchant things, I could do some basic alchemy, I could maintain weaponry, I could fight, I could defend, I could cook...
The list of what I was capable of was rather long, and ensuring that that list was able to be completed to a high level was something that I took pride in, and being able to be stronger meant being able to do those things better; a deeper mana pool, a higher level of physical strength and speed, endurance...
So, I closed the notebook and shut my eyes, pulling my focus from the outside of my body and sending it inwards, where I began at the organ that housed all of my mana, shrouding it in my attention and harnessing the mana that resided inside.
Releasing some of the mana into my veins, I guided the mana from my Core down towards the crest that adorned my groin, the pink tattoo filled with the Pleasure from hours before, where Jahi had made true to my desires and filled me with her own desires, even though we both knew they were for naught.
To start, I split my attention from my mana and began to focus on the Pleasure as well, that unique energy swirling around lazily inside my crest and taunting me as it did so, fleeing away from my attempts to harness it and 'watching' me warily.
However, as my mana seeped into the crest, that unique energy began to get curious, and as I calmly, gently, and slowly introduced that Pleasure to my mana, the two began to mingle together, reminding me of how I had introduced my Water Mana to my Wind Mana.
And just like when I needed to combine my two elements together to get the stronger combined element of Ice, I needed to find the correct balance of a firm hand with the gentle caress needed to get the two to mix properly.
But besides that balance, there was a whole other ingredient needed to get everything mixed together properly, to acquire the thing that I needed in order to get stronger, was bringing my own emotions and desires into this usually logical combination of ingredients.
So, I began to do just that, starting off with that logical combination as I began to merge the mana with the Pleasure, seeping my Ice into the fleeting, jittery, yet potent pink energy that swirled around in my lower body, its source still lingering as well...
As the ethereal pale blue mana mixed with that pink energy, I took a deep breath and pursed my lips as I 'watched' the pink energy begin to pull away, not wanting to embrace the cold mana near its side, but as it did that, I closed my mana around it and reintroduced the two together, all while my desire to capture this energy for myself made itself known.
Initially, the Pleasure had tried to repel my mana, pushing it back and doing so quite fiercely, but as soon as I began to show my desire for this power, show the need I had for it so that I might get stronger, it grew sluggish and malleable, allowing my mana to reintegrate with it so that I could capture it.
When I had first tried to do this, back when Cali had showed me this power and told me I could potentially harness it for myself, I hadn't been showing a desire to get it that wasn't deeper than surface level; I wanted it for no specific reason other than to have it, to just say I did it.
Now, however, I wanted it because it would make me even stronger, that it would allow me to take that strength and turn it into something that I could use to earn the appreciation and admiration of my lovers.
So that I could captivate them once again.
That was why I desired this power now, and there was not a single chance that I would let it evade me again; I had tasted it before, and I wanted to taste it again.
I wanted this power for myself, so that I could ensure I got stronger no matter what.
lightsΝοvel That desire was what was missing last time, and now, as I blanketed the pink in a pale blue cloud, I took a deep breath as I wondered if I was able to do that, only to grit my teeth as the pink energy rebounded and flared with power again, pushing my mana back.
Willing my mana to return to the fringes of the crest, I began to build up more and more mana inside the crest before sending it forwards in a wave, encompassing the pink energy with my mana and taking a more forceful approach as I once more seeped my mana inside the Pleasure.
A chill spread throughout my body, followed by a wave of numbness as the pink flared once more, though this time it began to sap my body of all feeling as it combated against my mana.
But, even as I felt my body numbing and felt my mind gradually lose any sense of emotion, I pushed forwards and fueled my mana once more, this time separating the Pleasure into groups and working away at it separately.
