"Wait, did you just tell me not to ask you to get naked?!" I exclaimed; not that I was complaining, damn, she was a good-looking woman.
Just a little shorter than me, perfect c-cup breasts that were the ideal hand full. Not to mention she had a soft and curvy ass that was just begging to be spanked.
Unfortunately, that wasn't what we were doing right now.
"I said that you couldn't ask me because it would sound like you are just trying to get me naked. Now, take your clothes off and get into bed," Listenia ordered, and the one corner of my mouth tipped up in a smirk.
"Yes, Ma'am," I said and stripped down.
I got into Listenia's four-post bed and turned one of the pillows to put behind my back. I leaned back on it into the headboard, and I waved for Listenia to come, but she, of course, was staring at my shriveled-up dick.
"What is wrong with it? Is it sick?" Listenia asked, and I slapped a hand to my face.
"My dick is not another person; it is just flaccid right now. Come sit down. I am controlling myself, so I can properly teach you without getting distracted," I explained as I controlled my breathing.
"Interesting, so you show it when you want it? It will get harder if you are in need?" Listenia asked as I narrowed my eyes, trying to stay focused on my breathing.
"Shut up and get over here; this isn't easy to control me around you when you talk like that," I growled and looked forward with a sigh.
Listenia laughed softly and came over to the bed as I leaned back and spread my legs.
"Come and lean your back into mine, and rest your arms and hands in mine, palms turned up," I explained, and Listenia did as I asked.
"Is this good?" Listenia asked once she was settled, and I leaned in and kissed her cheek.
"Yes. Now, the first lesson is that in your world, there is magic everywhere. The air you breathe is magic, and it is filled with more than you need to cast any spell. This is how I am able to cast and create things that should be impossible for me," I explained, and Listenia nodded.
"So, if it is everywhere, how do you use it?"
"The magic in the air is called Pure Magic, and I am going to teach you how to pull it into your own body. That is the first step, then the next will be learning how to control Pure Magic. This is crucial for the creation, writing, and wordless casting of spells. After that, we will move on to the six elements and how to convert Pure Magic into each of them, then mix them. This is not going to be something that you will master right away, but I think you will still do well with your skills. That is why I decided to teach you; your skills are truly amazing, and I think with some help, you have a lot more room to grow," I explained, and Listenia looked back at me.
"A lot more room to grow?! You mean that I could become much stronger?" Listenia asked, and I nodded with a smile, making her cuddle into me cutely, and I kissed her cheek.
This strong and gruff woman could be so cute when she wanted to be. I guess that I would just have to try and stay on her good side now so I could keep her this way.
"Okay, quit being so cute. Magic, I am going to start pulling it into my entire body slowly. I want you to try to feel it streaming around your body to get to mine. Once you feel it, try to pull it into yourself. Mentally reach out and pull the streams for yourself. Visualize that the white currents are being absorbed into your entire body," I explained, and Listenia nodded as we fully leaned back again.
Slowly, I started to pull magic in, feeling the currents flow around Listenia. I closed my eyes and prepared to start engraving special runes on the inside of my eyelids.
Listenia wouldn't need my help with this, and it would take a good bit of time. When I found out about guns being in this world, knowledge of special runes designed for use with guns came to me.
The engraving was nothing short of excruciating, but I used a calming spell to prevent my body from jerking around. I didn't want to disturb Listenia while she was trying to feel for the magic, but I didn't want to waste this opportunity or magic I was drawing in.
I also prepared a suspended healing spell, and cast a strange kind of regenerative spell that wasn't really good for much in most cases, but now I could see the use. The spell prevents blood from leaving more than three inches from where it came from.
The runes that I was carving into my eyelids were all for targeting, distance, mapping, wind speeds, dampness, and numerous other small things. After that was done, I let out a sigh, but the worst was to come.
"How are you doing?" I asked, slowly, keeping my voice steady through the lingering pain of the first step.
"I think I can feel something moving around me, but I can't grab it," Listenia said and then looked back at me and shrieked. "Why are you bleeding from your eyes? There is so much blood! But it is all on your face and not dripping off!"
"Sorry, I didn't want you to see this. I am…" I started to say but paused as I had to start carving the connecting line all the way back to my eyeball and into my optic nerve.
Then my eyes snapped open, and blurry yellow transparent lines popped into my view, along with numerous other indicators and a small map. I activated the suspended healing spell and released the calming spell as the blood sucked back up into my eyes.
