We all broke the circle when word came of BabySub's return, of the Wizard's rescue, and of an improvement in the conditions of littleslut and Jadetiger. Dee arrived with all the news, but was still very concerned about all 3 of the ladies. In her (considerable) medical experience, she believed their mental conditions had been so shaken that they might have a breakdown any minute.

Her opinion is one I value and respect, so I tried out these new psychic things to see if I might touch their minds. First opinion, LOTS of strong minds out there, many with things to do. I got into littleslut's mind first, and found confusion and fear. BabySub's mind contained a miasma of evil; hiding, not active, but obviously left there by Mobius' evil brother and his consort.

Jadetiger had something going on in her mind; she felt now-human, now-animal, and there was more to it than she had yet told us. A beautiful, interesting mind, but needful of healing.

A group of slaves got busy and has lain a smorgasbord out for all; rescueing is hungry work. Almost everyone in the dungeon was there, other than that darn alien and the Wizard, who never eat. Mobius and I sat closely together with MasterMike, so we could determine what needed to be done. Mobius ruled out asking the Wizard to help the three; his spells were far too serindipitous for us to chance our friends' minds to. MasterMike felt that Dee had the ability to coax them gradually back to health. She might indeed; I have found Dee has the power to change things through prayer when standard medical treatments were out of the question. Perhaps she has the ear of the Most High; her father was a man of God.

The more we conferred, the more desperate the ladies' conditions became; I had set a small part of my mind to stay with and monitor them. I reached out to others, and found strong protective and healing auras among most in the dungeon, especially Mobius, Ruby, Elizabeth, Yuri, and of course Dee and myself. On sharing that information with the others, Mobius decided that another Circle would be helpful. This time the approach would be different; we would each start with a partner, and our shared concern and love, however we chose to express it, would be channeled by our strongest magic user, Ruby, to the ones needing healing.

We called all to attention, and shared the information of our ladies' danger, and our need to share our strength with them. Total proceedures were explained, so this might look to outsiders as a hedonistic ancient Roman orgy, but the intensity of the emotions would go to heal our friends.

Ruby would need nearly all her concentration to focus the energies in the correct, healing way; thus she was placed reclining on a thick mattress for comfort. Mobius, Elizabeth, Yuri and I would rotate attentions of various kinds to BabySub, littleslut, and Jadetiger. All others were encouraged to do as they would to help the effort, whether it be flogging, sexual, or playing Spin the Bottle. Any acivity which could generate strong emotions was invited.

Once we had all eaten and prepared ourselves for whatever was necessary, things slowly began, throughout the dungeon. After spending 30 minutes trying to rub some of littleslut's pain away, I began to move throughout the rooms, keeping people on task and focused. Many, er, 'unusual' couples had joined together; A was getting tickled with her own feather collection, Jenny had Docilia gently flogging her, and dozens more.

I almost tripped over yellowrose; she lay on the floor, looking half asleep. Shaking her, I reminded her how important everyone's participation was, and led her to a table attached to what looked like an old wringer washing machine. Feeding her breasts through the wringer (after setting it to not damage, just hurt like crazy) I took her from behind, sending her over the top three or four times, to share her bountiful energy.

Such events were occurring everywhere. Finally Ruby arose, and informed us all that our three were again healthy and full of joy. She thanked each and all of us, as did the three she was in rapport with. Mobius then dismissed us all for the night.

I was looking around, making sure all the equipment was off and lights turned down, etc, and there was Elizabeth, sitting alone and quiet. Tapping her on the shoulder she started; apparently she had never woken from her trance. I raised her by the hand, shared a warm shower with her, and put her to bed in her quarters. Turning to leave, her voice called inside my head, "please, don't leave me tonight." Garments flew in all directions and we lay spoon-fashion, cuddling only while her strength slowly rebuilt. Sometime during the night, I was awoken by the gentle movement of her sitting astride me, slowly, dreamily, almost like a dream. I have no concept of how long we loved,or if it, indeed, was not just a dream. At time of rising, we were in each others' arms, still linked in spirit.

Now, perhaps, things in the dungeon could return to a more normal posture. We all needed a few days to adjust back to our regular activities.
