The clouds shimmered like silk above the peaks.
Lightning licked the skies.
And somewhere far above the world, a floating temple spun gently on coiling rings of wind and magic — waiting.
"Jemil," the system pinged.

[Warning: Seduction level – Extreme. Caution advised.]
"Define extreme," Jemil asked.
[Your blood pressure may increase to fatal levels.]
"Great. Can't wait to bond with a heart attack."
They arrived via Naia's water portal, stepping out into a courtyard suspended over the clouds.
It was eerily silent.
White marble gleamed. Golden vines slithered. Statues of winged women smiled... too much.
Yura's tails shivered.
"This place has big dommy energy," she whispered.
"She's going to step on him, isn't she?" Flare muttered.
"...I volunteer," Lyra said without blinking.
Then the temple doors opened.
Floating slightly above the ground, her serpentine body coiled like silk beneath a translucent emerald gown. Her eyes were glowing pools of violet. Her skin shimmered like polished pearl. Every movement of her hips defied gravity and logic.
And her voice—low, musical, dangerous.
"Welcome... my chosen summoner."
Enter: Saphira – Sky Serpent Empress
"Are all my wives this... lethal?"
"Only the divine ones," she smiled.
She circled him slowly.
Her fingers brushed his chest.
"You've bonded fire, moonlight, water, and illusion..."
"But you lack balance. You lack scale."
"I—um—scale?" Jemil blinked.
"You need someone who can see through you... and still take you apart."

[Bond Attempt Requires: Submission to the Trial of the Mind]
He collapsed mid-sentence.
He stood in a hall of mirrors.
"This is new," Jemil muttered.
"This is me," Saphira's voice purred. "Welcome to the Scale of Lust."
Each mirror showed a different fantasy:
One with Flare in chains
One with Yura giving him a tail massage
One with Naia, soaking wet on a throne
One with Lyra licking blood off his collar
And one... with all of them at once
"You're trying to break me?" Jemil whispered.
"No," Saphira replied. "I'm trying to reveal you."
Suddenly she appeared behind him — long, coiling tail wrapping around his waist, her voice curling into his ear.
"You crave control... but your heart burns to surrender. You fear your power... yet lust for more." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel·fire.net
"You don't want a partner..."
"...you want a goddess to kneel for."
Grabbed her by the waist.
Jemil stood in the temple, glowing with new power.
Saphira floated before him, smiling wider.
"You really are a dangerous little summoner."
[Bond Confirmed: Sky Serpent Empress – Saphira]
[Affection: 34% — Curious, Claiming, Controlling]
[New Trait Acquired: Mental Resistance + Illusion Breaker]
[Status: Charm Resistance: -50% (due to personal taste in danger)]
Flare: "I don't like her."
Naia: "She stares too deep."
Lyra: "She can fly. I will bite her wings off."
Saphira hovered past them, tail gliding gracefully.
"I'll share him," she said. "For now."
"You think you're on top?" Flare scoffed.
"Oh, no," Saphira winked at Jemil.
Jemil passed out from blood loss.
A giant celestial gate cracked open.
A voice as old as time whispered:
"He is gathering them..."
"We must awaken the forbidden bond."
