A Wolf's Howl, A Fairy's Wing

Chapter 298: Chapter 298 - Emma and Emily

And so, for the next ten months, that was what they did. They also made good use of the extra feature that Erik unlocked by confirming his second rank. This feature was an extra room next to the training hall, which held a powerful sigil that could provide significant insight into one's affinities when meditating on it.

The elemental delight sigil.

Unfortunately, it also used a lot of power that took a few weeks to recharge between each usage, but they all still got to use it at least twice during this time, providing them with immense progress.

Despite their main focus being on training during this time, some other things happened as well.

One of those things happened one night, not long after Erik absorbed the dimension, when Emma was lying the bed she shared with Erik. At the time, Erik himself was currently busy improving his thundersnow affinity with the elemental delight sigil's help.

She was about to get some rest, when there was a knock on the door. "Little Em? Can we… talk?"

Emma was surprised at her big sister's initiative. The truth was that they hadn't really spent that much time talking to each other ever since arriving in Finnmark a few months ago. Despite a significant improvement in their relationship after the events in Kirkenes, they still had their own issues to work through, after all.

Still, Emma was happy about it. Despite the almost subconscious resentment she still felt towards Emily, she wanted to be closer to her big sister again. Plus, she had a feeling what this might be about, and the thought excited her, indicated by the wide, lustful grin on her face.

She quickly hid that grin again, however, when she called out to Emily in her classic brand of bright happiness. "Of course, big Em! Come in!"

With her permission, Emily opened the door, and stepped inside the bedroom, where she was greeted by a fully naked Emma smiling at her, while she set cross legged on top of the sheets.

"You… why are you naked?!" Emily exclaimed while palming her face.

"I only have one set of clothes, big Em," Emma giggled with a hand hiding her lips. "Are you telling me you sleep in that same outfit you always wear? I mean, I know we can keep it clean with aetherium, but that's still pretty disgusting, big sis."

"Ugh, fine… you're right… but can you put on some clothes, please?" Emily groaned when she realized she, too, slept naked.

"Nope!" Emma denied, still smiling brightly. "What's the problem? It's not like its the first time!"

"Fine…" Emily grumbled, and sat down on a corner of the massive bed, with her back towards Emma.

Silence descended on the two sisters. Whatever Emily had come here to discuss, she was clearly still working up the courage to actually say the words.

Noticing her hesitation, Emma smiled lightly, and crawled over to her big sister, before hugging her comfortably from behind. "It's okay, big Em. Just tell me whats up."

Emily tensed up at first, but feeling her little sister's arms around her reminded her of the past, when Emma's hugs were the main reason why it had been impossible for Emily to truly pull away from her family, despite her alternative lifestyle.

So after a moment of contemplation, she leaned back into her little sister's arms, and sighed. "Well… you saw what happened in that core room. Surely you have thoughts?"

"Sure I do," Emma giggled. "But we don't have to talk about this if you don't want to. I've always known I would have to share him, and I've made it no secret that I was looking forward to having you join me. So, if you're here for my sake, then there's no need to bother."

"Yeah, I know… I'm here for myself," Emily mumbled with a distant look in her eyes, despite the comfort she found in Emma's arms. "So can you tell me your thoughts?"

"Well," Emma began thoughtfully. "Let me start by saying that I'm very happy about this. I know that this situation isn't normal according the standards we grew up with, but those…" her voice took on a sadder tone as she continued, "those went up in flames together with our parents."

"And now," Emma sighed, "in this new world, if you, me, or anyone else can find a way to be both safe, and happy, than that is something worth holding on to with everything you've got."

Emma's contemplative and sympathetic look suddenly changed, as a perverted smile appeared on her face and she leaned in to whisper in Emily's ear. "And if that means being submissive little sluts for the same man, then so what?"

Emily quickly lost her faraway look and opened her eyes wide. If she hadn't been so comfortable she likely would have shot up as well. "Y— You…! What are you t— talking about! I'm not… that!"

"Of course you are," Emma chuckled. "I saw you back there. The moment he got a little tough with you, you were putty in his hands. I wouldn't have imagined you to be a masochist of all things, but the facts don't lie! I mean… what was that thing you called him at the end there…?"

Emily didn't answer, and remained quiet. Her expression became complicated, and thoughtful.

After a few moments of silence, Emily spoke up again. "I just… I never imagined myself as submissive or a masochist… I barely even recognize myself anymore… How do you deal with it? You didn't imagine this kind of life for yourself either, right?"

"Well, our situations are a little different," Emma shrugged. "First of all, I'm not a masochist, and second of all, I've always enjoyed being helpful and making people happy. The fact that I've now focused that onto a single person barely changes anything for me."

"Wait, you're… not a masochist?" Emily suddenly asked in a confused tone.

"No, of course not," Emma giggled. "I enjoy submission and helplessness against Erik, but I don't like pain or humiliation. That's your department. The submission and helplessness you feel are simply a consequence from the fact that he's the one giving you what you want deep inside, despite not having accepted it yet."

Hugging Emily a little tighter, she whispered in her ear again, "Perhaps if you try to lean into it, and accept what you truly want, you might start to feel like yourself again. You may loose this submissiveness you feel towards him now, because if you lean into it, he won't be the one in control of your desires anymore. You'll control them yourself instead."

Emily frowned as she thought about Emma's words. 'Could she be right?' Suddenly, she thought of something else, "But wouldn't he still be in control then? I mean, I want to be… you know… punished, by him specifically, so…"

"What, you don't think he likes doing that to you?" Emma giggled. "You're not the only one who wants to do those things, you know. I meant what I said earlier, about the two of us being his submissive little sluts, but that doesn't mean we have no control at all. He wants to do those things to us almost as badly as we want him to do them."

"Almost?" Emily asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Well yeah, that's the thing about being in a harem," Emma sighed. "You're not the only one he can go to, but he is the only one we can go to. Being in a harem means you never really have as much control as the man.

Unless you band together of course, but, honestly, if you decide to go that way, I suggest you pick some one else." She started giggling before she continued, "I'm not sure I'd be able to resist if he ordered me into his bed, no matter what."

Rolling her eyes, Emily had to chuckle at Emma's self-awareness.

"Regardless," Emma shrugged. "Do you even want that much control? If you do accept you're a masochist and lean into your desires, that means you basically want the same thing Master wants anyway."

"Right…" Emily mumbled, barely aware that she had already subtly moved into a place of acceptance. Although there was still one thing that worried here. "But what if these desires are not exactly my own?"

"You mean because of the corruption?" Emma asked.

"Partially, but… there's something else." A complicated look appeared on her face as she decided to tell Emma about what happened back in Muonio, where Erik had enslaved her by request.

"I see…" Emma frowned, a little annoyed that Erik hadn't told her about this, but given the circumstances, she could understand. "Well, I doubt all those desire come only from corruption and enslavement, but… I suppose I'll just have to work extra hard to reach second rank so we can continue your treatment and you don't have to wonder anymore."

That brought a small smile to Emily's face before she softly nodded, "Thanks, little Em."

"Of course!" Emma smiled brightly, before suddenly grinning mischievously. "So about this Daddy thing…"

With an embarrassed groan from Emily, a new conversation started, and then another, and another. In the end, they spoke the entire night long, something they hadn't done in years.

By the end, Emily felt a lot better about herself.
