Ascent to AuthorityTiring of the mundane burden entrusted unto me,I convinced my petite nymphet to take some responsibility. Keeping in line the vassals with her demure personality, She earned the respect and envy of the rivals I had gleaned. Overcome by greed at the power I'd given to my protégée, Her former admirers turned on her and challenged for dominance in our brood. Blithely she acquiesced to the rules of the proposed fray, All would be veiled to ensure that the test of their powers was not skewed. In a shimmer of movement and a flash of skin she closed the gap to her foes, A seismic blast echoed through the hall as she punched one in the nose. Then with an ease of movement that would suggest that she was mired in repose, She took them all down languorously before despatching them into their death throes. And as the dawning sun shone over the frosted horizon, The bodies of the vanquished steamed, then erupted in a gout of flame, Mireille removed her mask and looked at the rays of light with disdain, Unaffected, she stood at the heart of the blaze, yet she felt no pain. Awestruck, the sheltering brood genuflected at the sight of the photophilic dame, She raised one brow in a semblance of mirth at the power she had gained. Now acknowledged as the leader of the clans scattered through the world, My youthful prodigy had the weight of society balanced on her delicate frame. Using the lust of the weak-minded fools to keep ahead of the game, Playing them off against each other to gain her "favour" until they were all tamed. The lure of the treats so sumptuous on offer caused men to go mad with desire, For the prize of merely kissing her feet would they crawl o'er a funeral pyre, Her staid demeanour and lithe physique many would have liked to acquire, But under her heel was such a pleasant spot that none would dare to conspire. |
