Since Frolicon was a month ago, I know this entry is a little late, but it is safe to say that it has taken me this long to be able to process all that has happened since then. And even after a month, I wake up most days still feeling like I'm living in a fairy tale. (For those of you who know my insane attraction to Disney and the fact that I'm a hopeless optimistic and idealist, this will not be surprising.)
My ticket to Frolicon was actually my birthday present from my best friend and roommate. I had a lot of fun and met some great people, but the best thing that happened was meeting Lady Ru'etha and the people in Her circle. I was actually sick that weekend but was determined not to miss the convention. I had gotten over the worst of it but still had a lingering cough which seemed to plague me every time I wanted to attend a class. I had to get up and leave several of the classes I attended in search of water to calm my coughing fit. The class that I was looking forward to most by looking at the list of events was the Chakra and Energy Play class being taught by Lady Ru'etha. Little did I know just exactly how much impact that would have on the rest of my life. I had to leave for a few minutes about halfway through because of my cough but came back as soon as I could having drank an entire glass of water and carrying a full glass back with me. I got back just in time to see Her demo the rapid induction technique for hypnosis. I had been hypnotized once before several years ago at the local county fair when I lived in Texas, and that induction took a LOT longer than the one Lady Ru'etha used in class. It was amazing how fast it worked! And of course, working with energy has been an interest of mine for years, so after class I approached Her to ask about the chakras I'd missed when I stepped out of the room (I missed all the information about chakras two through six.) She was being bombarded with questions from several other people and asked Sir Aaranhalt (the now latest of Her Chosen) to go over what I'd missed.
Later that night (Friday), DarkRebelSiren and I went to the dungeon where I saw some things I was familiar with and a lot of others that I wasn't. I was especially intrigued by a girl whom judging by her behaviors could only have been a fellow slave. It looked as if she were part of a poly relationship because I saw two different people holding her leash during the course of the evening (one male and one woman). The girl's skin was pale, pale white, as if she had never been in the harsh southern sun, and she was scantily dressed in beads. Imagine Princess Lei's slave costume from Star Wars but with beads and you will have some idea of what she was wearing and why it interested me so. I never saw her speak while she was in the dungeon, and they never played in public. But i could tell that she was cherished by the way she was proudly being displayed and by her affection towards each of Them.
Saturday morning started off well with some time spent visiting the venders. The only class that I really wanted to attend was the Erotic Hypnosis 101 class, partly because I had greatly enjoyed Lady Ru'etha's class the day before. DarkRebelSiren was originally going to attend the class with me but was unable to at the last minute so I went by myself. I made certain to bring a full glass of water to class with me because I really didn't want to miss any of Her class again. I chose a seat on the front row (actually ended up sitting next to Sleepyhead though I didn't know it at the time) chatting casually with the couple sitting to my left (Sleepy head was on my right.) waiting for class to start. As the room started to fill, Lady Ru'etha walked back to the front of the room talking to people as She went (because that's just what She does *smiles*), and I laughed and gestured to my water glass telling Her that I came prepared for class because I didn't want to miss anything this time. I'll admit that I don't remember much of what She was saying during the beginning of the class because I was starting to drift just listening to Her voice, although in my defense a lot of it was general information about hypnosis that I'd heard the previous day. When She asked for a volunteer to be Her demo bottom, I immediately raised my hand and was practically bouncing in my seat. I saw Lady Ru'etha scan the crowd (there was sitting/standing room only) for only a moment before Her eyes rested on me. She smiled and gestured for me to come up saying something about me going through the trouble of bringing water with me to class. I sat eagerly in the chair in front of Her as She gave the instructions about always asking for permission to touch before hypnotizing someone since Her induction technique involves some light touching. Before She even asked me, my right hand went up waiting for Her to take it (for anyone who has seen Her use the rapid induction method, you will know why), and She made a comment about me having attended Her class the previous day and already knowing what to expect. I'll admit that I was having a hard time focusing on Her fingers as She moved them in front of my eyes because I was already starting to space. There was a moment of surprise as She grabbed the back of my neck pulling me over in the chair and rocking me back and forth, but Her voice ran through me like water, washing away every concious thought until all I could focus on was the sound of Her voice. At some point, She sat me back up in the chair and left me in trance as She explained what She had just done to the rest of the class. I could sense Her pacing in front of me and could hear answering questions. I heard someone ask if my rapid eye movement was normal (I could feel my eyes fluttering underneath my eyelids.), and I could hear the smile in Her voice as She replied, "Oh yes, that means she's deepening herself quite nicely just by listening to My voice." At that moment, She put Her hand on my right shoulder, and I sank even deeper remembering nothing else until She brought me out of the trance. The moment I opened my eyes, She was standing in front of me smiling and asked if I was a hugger (for those of you who know me, DarkRebelSiren lovingly refers to me as a hug slut), to which I replied, "yes," with a huge grin and proceeded to wrap my arms around Her for a mutual hug. After resuming my original seat, She talked a bit about power buttons (wonderful and handy thing!) and then proceeded to demonstrate that I had one by pressing mine during class and sending me immediately into trance.
After class I approached Her and told Her that if She wanted to and was available, I would really love to spend the evening with Her. She told me to put my information on the wish board, and She would contact me later. As soon as I left Her, I went upstairs and made a post on the wish board to Lady R as requested and then came back downstairs to meet DarkRebelSiren for lunch. I was standing in the hall waiting for DarkRebelSiren to arrive when Lady Ru'etha approached me by Herself and before I could even say "hello" had pressed my power button once again sending me into an immediate trance and wrapped Her arms around my neck whispering sweet things into my ear. It makes me smile even now to remember it.
I waited all day hoping She would text and found an excuse to walk by the wish board several times to see if She had picked up my contact information yet. By the time DarkRebelSiren and I went to the dungeon Saturday night, my info was still on the wish board. However, after about 45 minutes in the dungeon I got a text (I snuck my phone into the dungeon.) from Lady Ru'etha saying asking me to meet Her on the white couch of joy. I spent the rest of the evening with Her and Her friends and didn't make it back to my room until close to 5am.
Sunday morning DarkRebelSiren and I had to leave early unfortunately, but I wanted to say goodbye to Lady Ru'etha and see Her one last time before we parted ways. I texted and asked if I could come to the room and was able to spend about an hour with Her and several of Her circle. Just as I was leaving, She hugged me and gave me the most amazing kiss. I wanted so much to let my tongue touch Hers, but I restrained and kept it polite. The next one, however, I make no such promises about, Sweet Lady. *grins and winks*
I was practically floating the whole way home and have been talking to Her and getting to know Her and Her circle even more since then. I've made some amazing friends and am starting to experience some emotions that I've never had before but are absolutely wonderful. I look forward to where this new road takes me and hope that it leads where I think it could go.
