"Really something like that happened?" John asked, surprised before continuing.
"Well, you did say it had an obvious spell effect."
"I meant that the user had to sit cross legged with their eyes closed as one or two stars circled them, not levitate off the ground with a whole galaxy of constellations orbiting you like your some sort of celestial body." Silver Oracle said before sighing.
John chuckled and scratched the back of his head before asking.
"So do you know the location of that door?"
Silver Oracle nodded as she said.
"I do, it's an old library storage room where they store the old books that people don't find very interesting."
"No one ever said about a hidden staircase though."
"Well, it wouldn't be hidden if everyone knew about it now, would it?" John said with a chuckle as he stood up and stretched.
"Shall we?" He asked.
"Yes, let's go." Silver Oracle said before removing the isolation barrier and opening the door.
John followed Silver Oracle as they headed back towards the main hall at the entrance before taking a different side door that led into a large library.
They crossed the library exiting via a door on the opposite side that led into a long corridor that they followed that split at the end going left and right.
Silver Oracle led them to the left and walked along another corridor, this time the one that was shown in the picture.
They soon arrived at a staircase and proceeded down to a familiar door that Silver Oracle pushed open allowing them to enter and find themselves in the room with many bookcases they saw in the picture.
They crossed the room to a bookcase at the very back and there they saw the same book that was in the picture.
"Ready?" Silver Oracle asked to which John nodded.
Taking a breath, Silver Oracle reached out and grabbed the spine off the book before pulling it back in the same way the human cleric had done in the picture.
There was a tiny click before the bookcase started to slide silently to the side revealing the dark hidden staircase behind.
"Well how about that, it was true it's really here." John said, surprised.
"What didn't you have faith in yourself?" Silver Oracle teased with a grin.
"Was it really my doing if it was a spell?" John answered while rolling his eyes before he looked down the dark staircase.
"Do we go?" John asked.
"Of course," Silver Oracle said and started walking down the staircase while John followed a moment later.
They proceeded down the staircase slowly because of the lack of light, while there was just enough to make out the steps ahead of them that was pretty much all they could see.
The staircase was not very long and soon they saw light appear below which caused them to slow down and move slowly and as quietly as possible to try and pick up on any sounds.
After a moment they heard the whimpering of a woman crying which caused the two to look at each other with furrowed brows.
As they crept closer the whimpering got louder until they were right at the bottom of the stairs and in front of them was a small archway that led into a small room.
As they carefully looked into the room the first thing that drew their attention was a naked elf strapped to a large wooden table by handcuffs and leg irons and also a tight leather strap over her forehead to hold her in place.
Now that the two were right at the entryway they could hear the sound of dripping and as they looked at the women, they saw cuts on her arms that made blood run down her skin to her hands before dropping from her fingers into a bucket that collected the blood on the floor.
"Despicable." Silver Oracle hissed and was about to go help the elf when John held her back.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
She gave him an angry stare which John did not take personally and instead motioned for Silver Oracle to look over to the other side of the room.
When she did, she saw a large double bed which appeared to have three individuals lying on it.
In the center was a naked male human though they could both tell he was the human cleric since he was the only human present.
On either side of the naked male were two beautiful naked women, one had long dark gray hair while the other had long dark red hair and strangely also had some dark rand and black marks around her eyes.
They both had horns on their heads with leathery wings and a thick tail.
(Inspect) John thought as he inspected all three.

Vincarna: Well shit.
Silver Oracle: A champion Demon crap.
Vincarna: Can you read their stats?
Silver Oracle: The human and the undead I can, but that champion demon is over ten levels above me.
Silver Oracle: What is going on, why is a cleric lying naked with two demons, one of them is even undead?
"Well, what do we have here?" Suddenly a soft sensual voice sounded from behind them causing them both to turn quickly and enter a combat stance.
What they saw made their hearts run cold, the champion demon who was still fully naked and did not seem to mind that she was showing off her body to two strangers stared at them with her red eyes.
How she got behind them they had no idea as when they looked back, they saw that she was also still on the bed but then her form on the bed seemed to become see through before disappearing completely.
"You don't actually think I would ever offer myself to that hateful man, do you? What he just made love to was simply a projection of me, unfortunately I can't say the same about my sister though." Elrinira explained before gnashing her teeth in anger as she said the last part.
"Then why are you naked?" John could not help but ask, which made Silver Oracle roll her eyes and ask.
"Is this really the time and the most important point?"
"Hey, I mean, she is obviously very powerful, so why does she need to be naked herself when projecting a naked image of herself." John replied, defending himself.
Elrinira looked at the two with a curious gaze before saying.
"Why are you not running in fear or begging for your lives?"
John and Silver Oracle looked at each other before Silver Oracle said.
"Would running away help when you're so much more powerful." Before John added.
"And besides, something is off about this whole situation."
"Oh, what makes you say that?" Elrinira asked with a smirk.
"Well, you're clearly far more powerful than that Francis guy so why would you willingly sleep with him, even if you are only using a projection of yourself, I can't see you doing that willingly."
"Interesting, continue." Elrinira said as her gray tail began to sway behind her.
"If I had to guess I would say that Francis' guy is not really a Cleric at all and is a Necromancer spy the humans placed here." John continued.
"Also, you called Elrinielle your sister and she is an undead, so my guess is that he raised her using his necromancy powers and is using her as a hostage against you even though she is dead."
Elrinira looked at John with newfound respect and once more examined him but far closer and in more detail this time before she finally asked.
"What are you?"
"I'm a human." John replied simply which made Elrinira raise an eyebrow.
"Interesting, but are you sure you're a human? Your magic power is far too thick to be a human as it's on the level of this female elf here." Elrinira replied before pointing at Silver Oracle.
"I am honestly not sure what you mean by how thick my magic power is, although I have heard and been told this before, no one has ever explained it to me."
"Hmm, elf why don't you explain it to your friend here." Elrinira said with a smile.
"That's fine but would you mind putting some clothes on first?" Silver Oracle asked with a slight blush.
"Why don't you find my form attractive? I can tell the human is not the only one who is stimulated by my naked body." Elrinira replied with a sexy smile as she purposefully stretched her arms over her head to show off her body better.
Silver Oracle did not reply but Elrinira noticed that she kept shooting John worried glances out of the corners of her eyes.
"Ho ho I get it now, interesting this could be fun, but that can wait till later, very well." Elrinira said before a magic swirled around her and she was suddenly covered in a black dress with red highlights and a red cloak that hung from her shoulders.
"Better?" she asked in a teasing voice.
