(First of all, thanks to everyone who's read this and offered their thoughts, and especially Absalom/Timbo, who helped me proofread and smooth this out considerably.
For the most part, the setting is a cultist using a contract to further tempt one of Sikkar's faithful. Who or what, or the circumstances are left to your imagination. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed writing it. And with that, here we go!)
Oh, what is that, dear?
Hmm, that is an interesting question, really. Why am I a cultist? I'm sure you have heard of me. In my past life, I was once a proud and noble Ranger, and many feared and praised my prowess with the bow. To friends, I am the greatest of allies. To enemies, I was a terror. I still am, really, that much has not changed.
Oh, what do you mean by that, lover? Yes, I did walk the path of good, although honestly... well, I will say it was due to... personal restrictions that I will not get into. Needless to say, on the... morality scale, I am for the most part ambivelant. I am evil only because my patron requires it so, and she would withdraw her strength if I walked the path of good again. Maybe in another life I will again. In the end it is but a silly distinction to me, a judgement used by beings who cannot seem to stand that I am fully capable of passing judgement on myself.
But, I digress. So why did I choose to become a follower of Baal-Luujur? Well, I suppose I needed a change. I felt I was at a dead-end. I live mostly by whim, I do whatever seems like a good idea to me at the time. Perhaps it seems strange to someone who considers themself "holy", such as yourself. But in the end, do I really need any other reason?
... Why would you think that, sweetie? It's not about projecting self-hatred, or even hatred of living things, or even All That Is Good. I don't bother, it gets nothing done. Again, I really don't need any further reason. I am enjoying myself, and I am happy.
Oh, you've heard about that too? It is strange that one such as you should know the demon patrons, one would think... oh well, it is of no consequence. Anyways... yes, I am a follower of Baal-Luujur, the Great Demon and Patrona of Lust. To be honest, it is my favorite sin.
Yes, honey, I do realize that my temper is renowned across the six worlds. It does seem logical that I would follow Baal-Mythra, the Great Demon of Wrath. But oddly enough, I am not a naturally choleric creature. Yes, I have my flashes of temper, but they often leave me shortly. Honestly, I forget the reason for my fury by the time I wake up the next morning. Baal-Aviir? Yes, I am greedy and self-centered. However, I can be a charitable person, most often with friends. Ball-Envyd, no! Why waste my time on jealousy and envy when I can seek out what I desire for myself? Baal-Orgul? I do realize that pride and catfolk go hand in hand, but let's not be stereotypical here. Baal-Ozyd? I like his style, but no. Baal-Vielfrass? I have a figure to keep, thank you very much.
No, Lust is most certainly my favorite sin, for I have always been a creature to seek her own pleasures. To me, that is the alpha and omega of life itself, and the reason for my existence: to find my pleasures in whatever life has to offer, and perhaps bring some of those pleasures to others. I Lust, therefore I Am, you could say. And of course, there is the stereotypical seeking of lust, which I eagerly indulge in: 'tis one of the greatest pleasures, and one the willfully chaste sorely miss out on and need. To be honest, while I have not particularly changed from my former life, I am now simply more open, and my new body is much better built for what I would desire: my bosom is more inviting, my lips far better for... service. My stamina... well, now it hardly ever ends, in carnal pursuits at least.
So in the end, that is why I follow Baal-Luujur. She represents what I wish most out of my life: the sensual and sublime, the wicked and the sadistic.
Mmm, what do you mean sweetheart? Oh, I do realize that people consider chastity and self-restraint a virtue. But to this, I ask why? The Sins are merely a natural part of all thinking beings... nay, a natural part of the order of the universe. Lust allows us to seek our pleasures and reminds me that we are alive. Envy and Greed push us to better our station, to challenge what some consider the 'natural order' in order to improve ourselves. Wrath is the cornerstone brick in the foundation of justice, the desire to punish wrongdoers and see them pay for their misdeeds. Pride encourages to accomplish great things. Gluttony... well, we all need to eat, and as a member of a rather young race, I do realize it was not that long ago that gluttony was considered important to survival. Never know when the prey may dry up after all. Sloth reminds us to rest, I guess, to take a break from our actions, and take our time.
I do realize that those are rather... forgiving descriptions, but think of it logically. The things that you seem to hate so much are simply a part of life. Like many things, they are wonderful in moderation, and terrible in excess.
Well, love, I never said I was good at moderating myself. I'm not.
I sound like an addict? I know, but I do enjoy my addictions so. I don't consider them a problem.
No, dear, keep your prayers to yourself, and save them for someone who needs them. Now, we really should begin, dearie, you've been stalling me long enough. It'll never be over with at this rate, and I do have other things... and people... to do.
Oh, stop protesting, it really is rather off-putting! Honestly, is this not what you expected when I promised you Baal-Luujur's grace? Honey, are you really that naive?
... really now. I have but three words for you: la petite mort.
You're suprised that I seem familiar with the language of Sikkar. In all honesty, I am not; that little phrase has always stuck with me since I first heard it. But it means exactly what it means: "the little death". I'm given to understand that it is an euphemism for an orgasm. Although it speaks to me in other ways, as well.
Have you not seen a woman in the throes of orgasm? Very often, it seems that she is in mortal agony, not at the heights of pleasure. And truly, as I have learned from Baal-Luujur, pleasure and pain are often intertwined. The overstimulation, loss of all sense outside of the sensation one is feeling, the exhaustion that follows... it's not really too much different when given by a lover or a torturer. The only difference is... intent, really.
So what is my intent, darling? Well, it is both. Baal-Luujur promises pleasure, after all. But pleasure and pain are closely intertwined, indeed, I've known people who could barely tell the difference. When I'm done with you, you won't be able to either. And you will be happier for it.
You really should be grateful, love. Sikkar promises paradise after death, but Baal-Luujur brings paradise to you while you live. You may beg for mercy now, but by the time we are done here and your obligation is fulfilled, you will beg again. Nay, not for this to ever happen again. Nay, you will not beg Sikkar from deliverance from the weaknesses of your soul and the temptation I had given you.
Nay, you will beg of me to never stop. To never let the pleasure and pain end, to send you into the depths of agony and the heights of ecstasy. You will beg of me, scream and threaten me, and weep as you realize that I am finished and there is no more that I need of you.
My darling, that is when the true agony begins. Knowing what I and Baal-Luujur have given you, knowing that you would barter your very soul for the sensations, the experience again, knowing that the services I provide require a payment in shame and secrecy, in lust and desire... a pleasurable service requiring a far more pleasurable price. And you will pay again and again for the heaven Baal-Luujur promises.
That is when Baal-Luujur will own your soul, my sweet. And you will alternately curse me and praise me for what I have brought you to: honesty with yourself, your weaknesses and your lust... the very core of your being that you once considered dirty and sinful. That core is now what you can only live by, the only thing that you live for.
Such a shame really, if you weren't focused so much on denying yourself, you wouldn't end up giving yourself so willingly. It seems like a crime of simple convienence now... but it is so much more, and carries implications that you are not even aware of.
Now stop squirming dear, I promise you this will be an experience you will never forget...
Mmmm...
