“Pugward that's a marvellous idea!" She exclaimed.

The imp looked back at her like she'd just cancelled Christmas. Eluria returned then holding out his tattered and stained shorts with her fingertips, keeping them at arms length.

“Hey you ever heard o' the concept o' sarcasm?" He snatched the shorts from Eluria and started putting them on, completely ignoring her as he continued to talk with Malika.

“Why no Pugward. Please do explain this mysterious concept that you call sarcasm to me." She said sarcastically.

Pugward grinned at her, he Liked it when she stood up for herself. She didn't do it often enough.

“And for your information I didn't mean the idea of becoming celibate.

I mean with this place we could actually go out there and help people!

The cult has done so much wrong over the years and we have extensive knowledge of demons and all of the old treasures and tomes on healing and white magic that the white priestesses used to use are still kept in storage. Imagine what we could do with all that!" As Malika spoke the idea solidified in her head. She looked back to Pugward to see what he thought.

Unfortunately as Malika was speaking in her excitement she had begun to bounce up and down which, given the fact that she was still completely naked, had made her impressive tits do wonderful things. Pugward was looking at her boobs, entranced.

“Pugward!" She complained.

"Uh? Oh! Yeah sure boss, whatever you say." He said as his brain tried to piece together what she'd been saying. When he finally had it his expression changed to a frown.

“Wait, what? You wanna turn around a demon worshippin' cult and make ‘em into a bunch of saints?"

When he put it that way Malika's smile fell.

“I just...Now that it's over I want to make up for all those things I did." She turned and pointed her finger at Eluria, suddenly becoming furious. "ALL those things you made me do!"

Malika's red eyes flared with rage and Eluria suddenly felt as if something boiling hot were getting closer and closer to her skin. Sweat began to pour from her as she stood immobile and just before her skin began to blister Pugward snapped his fingers and Malika seemed Like she was going to throw up for a moment before turning to Look at him

Eluria was relieved as the searing heat fell away and suddenly for the first time she began to fear Malika.

“Pugward, what did you do?" Malika Lifted her hand to her brow and seemed a Little shaky on her feet.

“Sorry boss. Had to pull the rug out from under ya. You were about ta deep fry the slut ‘ere an' ya said I could keep her. Plus I didn't think you'd wanna start out your whole new way ‘o life by boiling alive a defenceless victim." Pugward's words were oddly gentle, especially for the rough mouthed creature.

“I-I was..." Malika shook her head and regained her senses, she felt normal again. In fact she felt better than normal as Pugward's magic still flowed through her.

“I'm sorry Pugward. I didn't mean to hurt her."
