7 virtues: Chastity


She walked past the sneering brutes, holding her head high though her spirits were low. They had besieged her village for days now. Hopefully their offer was a sensible one.

Wishful thinking.

“Spend the night in my bed.” The leader lifted his eyes long enough to see the scorn on her face.

“Never.”

Upon returning to the village her friend asked:

”You turned down his offer. Why?”

“Witches lose their power if they bed.” She rose to the wall, power dancing at her fingertips. “He might keep his word, but the village would be left defenseless against others.”

  1. He'll regret making that request when she blasts him with her witchy powers! Great take on Chastity, I love it (and your new blog!).

  4. Great chastity take, definetly leads to a longer more interesting story. I would most asurably read more if there was more. Witches, magic, and chastity. the price of power.

  6. I've always been fascinated with the very idea you promote in this flash: only abstinence can help a witch keep her power. I would love to see her wreak some witch-power on those barbarians. That would be awesome. Well done!

  7. I'll start working on making this a short story and because of popular demand I'll write a scene where she wreaks some witchy-power on those morons.

    Thankyou for the comments :D

  8. "Witches lose their power if they bed."

    Oh, dear. I won't even comment on that, lest I lose favor with ALL the heavens at once.

    This was a GREAT read. I agree with you. This definately deserves expanding. Would love to see more!

  10. Yeah, smite them instead. Smiting is probably even more fun, and lasts for longer.

  11. Thanks for changing the comment section so I can post! I love your worlds and characters and it's good to be able to say so.
    Sounds like a hard time for the village, but also sounds like the witch is wise enough to choose the course of action best for the village.
