Miranda wasted no time, sending Candice and Artemisio off with a message to Lord Ares on the battle grounds. She sealed the scroll tightly so that no one could read the details. She then marched down to Jazelle's rooms. She tried to keep her ire in check. How could she! Miranda was a very sexual creature by nature, but she had not even considered disobeying Ares on this score. His wrath had rained down on her before, on much lesser offenses.

Miranda considered involving Arcana, but decided against it. Jazelle was hers. She opened the door without knocking, catching Jazelle in nearly nothing, still fixing her robes.

"Shameless! You are shameless!"

Jazelle whirled around and caught sight of the angry brunette. Her eyes blazed with fury and what appeared to be hurt. Her own anger rose. "What are you doing in my apartments?! I was having a private moment!" She tried to make it seem innocent enough.

"With kessily! She is impressionable! You know that! She was torn between her loyalty for you and Master Ares. She sees you disobey, and soon she will do the same."

Jazelle's own eyes now flashed red, and she leapt upon Miranda and began pulling her hair, a cat fight ensued. Soon a small crowd had gathered at the door to Jazelle's room. Hermeniana and Esmeray stood in the front of the crowd of girls, watching but not believing. Soon, Arcana pushed through the crowd. She walked up and promptly separated the two beautiful women that were supposed to be her equal in the temple. The had reduced themselves to mere children.

"Have you two lost your minds? And girls, get back to work at once! " She glared at the gaggle of girls. They turned at once and left. Jazelle and Miranda stood glaring at each other.

Jazelle began to speak, but Arcana silenced her with her hand. "You had both stay clear of each other. Miranda I'd like to speak with you in the hallway." Jazelle grumbled. "Sure, get her version. Never mind what I say! hmph." She kicked the door closed and flopped on her bed.

Arcana knew what was going on anyway. She had encountered kessily in the hallway. After speaking with Miranda and suggesting she cool off in the garden waterfall, she opened the door to Jazelle's room.

"Jazelle, I'm sorry to have to do this, but Lord Ares left me explicit orders." She had returned with something in her hands. Jazelle looked on in disbelief. It was a chastity belt!

Arcana slipped it on the priestess, fighting her the whole way. "Hefestus made three. One has your name, and the other Miranda's. There is one for me as well, but it is safely away at the moment. I hope this will keep you from disobeying the next few days. For now, we won't be needing Miranda's." She turned to leave. "Oh, and I've moved kessily to my room...for safe keeping." She grinned and left Jazelle there, struggling, trying to get the belt free.
