Atonement: Mars (7)
The so-called soul binding is generally formed between an alpha and an omega. It usually requires that the omega be repeatedly marked by the same alpha, and the two people live together for a long time, the hormonal cycle reaches a completely consistent rhythm, and the conception rate of the combination of two people It will greatly increase, and the pheromone stimulus produced by other alphas or omegas will be greatly reduced. Just love to surf the Internet. This kind of binding usually takes from a year to several years and is usually formed after marriage. Although it is called "soul" binding, it is just a name in today's interstellar age, and it does not really admit that people have an immortal soul. This binding is nothing more than a hormonal combination, which is purely physiological. As for whether the spiritual layer of a pair of human partners can be related by soul binding, there has not been any significant discovery in related research.
Ethan opened his eyes slightly. He never expected that Tanisel's solution had something to do with soul binding? He was not even sure if the other party was serious, so he was speechless for five seconds.
Tanisel also seemed a little uncomfortable, his eyes turned around in Ethan’s room, just not looking at him, "Eve’s soul binding is not only at the hormonal level. I think you should listen to it occasionally. I have talked about love stories circulating among the people. Some soul-bound couples can feel each other’s emotions to a certain extent. Others say that when one is injured, the other will also sense that their partner is in danger. For Eve people, this feeling is not as difficult to control as humans, but a connection that will inevitably occur. In other words, if you and I are bound, I can know whether there is a mutation in you. "
Ethan blinked his eyes a few times, then pushed his glasses, grabbed his hair, pulled a chair to sit down, thought for a while, and said seriously, "Let me sort out my thoughts. There are a few questions below. Will one say hello?"
Tanisel said, "Yes, but we don't have much time. I don't know when the notice will reach your guard."
Ethan nodded and started to ask, "First of all... are you serious?"
Tanisel: "Yes."
Ethan: "Can a priest bind to a human soul?"
Tanisel: "This is strictly forbidden, just like your Catholic priest marrying a wife and having children. It is absolutely taboo. But if it is only temporarily bound and you and I are kept secret, no one will know."
Ethan trembled in his heart and swallowed nervously, "But I am a beta, and there are few alphas that can form a binding relationship with beta. Moreover, you and I are not a race on the same planet."
Tanisel paced slowly in Ethan's room, looking at the forest picture projected on the wall, "This kind of ritual has a certain compulsiveness, and it can form a bond between any two people, but between alpha and beta. The binding duration of is probably not as long as alpha and omega. In Eve Star, there are occasionally two alphas, two betas and even two omegas of the same sex who find the temple and submit an application. I hope we can use this ritual to bind them. set."
"Two same-sex omega..." Ethan sighed in surprise. Because in the Earth Alliance, it is illegal for two same-sex omegas to fall in love, and it is extremely dirty in the Earth culture.
If both partners have the same first gender (that is, the difference between male and female), and then belong to the same sub-sex (that is, the difference between ga), it is absolutely impossible to have offspring. This is common sense that everyone in the interstellar universe knows. At present, there are not many omegas in the Earth Alliance who have the mission of raising offspring. In recent years, the population has been experiencing negative growth. Any such behavior that wastes fertility is considered selfish and sinful. Therefore, the Earth Alliance government has been very tight on this law. Once it is discovered, it will not only deduct a large amount of moral value, but also announce the names of these omegas for everyone to see.
However, not all star countries in the galaxy have such regulations, especially after the rise of the omega affirmative movement. However, the Earth Alliance seldom has access to information about alien countries, and even the omega affirmative movement has only just emerged, so this moral tradition has been passed down to this day. This is why Ethan feels weird after listening.
"On the eve of the war, many military partners who have not yet formed a soul bond will request to bond with their lover who is about to go to the battlefield, so that they can know whether they are safe on the battlefield. But even with such a spiritual connection, I am not You may know your specific thinking accurately, but you can only perceive your emotions, so if you are afraid of this, don't worry." Tanisel continued to explain. Ethan nodded, still can't believe that Tanisel actually proposed such a "solution".
"And... one last question." Ethan lowered his head and grabbed a barb near his nail, and asked in the usual way possible, "Is it worth it to help me take such a big risk?"
Tanisel was not surprised by this question at all. He also shrugged his shoulders often and said in a "no big deal" tone, "I am not all for you. Judging from the images I perceive so far, you are infected. It is probably related to the Lord God I believe in. If I can take this opportunity to get closer to the Lord of All Things, the foolish God, I am willing to do anything."
Not all, that is to say there is always a part?
Ethan felt a faint sweetness somewhere in his heart, like melted sugar water slowly wandering away.
"This ceremony...how to do it?"
Tanisel finally met his eyes. The priest's eyes were also slightly surprised, and he stuttered, "You...you agree? This is not a trivial matter, even if it is temporarily bound, it is bound after all."
This time it was Ethan's turn to shrug his shoulders pretending to be nonchalant, "You don't dislike being bound to an inhumane. Of course I am happy to be able to save my life. Besides, I don't have any people I like."
Tanisel put his curled hand to his lips and coughed lightly, "Okay, but this must not be known to anyone other than you and me, otherwise I will be in serious trouble."
Ethan nodded, "Don't worry."
Eve's soul binding ritual has three steps. During the preliminary preparations, both parties need to swallow a medicine that contains aphrodisiac ingredients that stimulate hormone levels. The second step is for the two parties to conduct social interactions in accordance with certain rituals. In the process, the priest needs to use his spiritual power to guide the brain waves of the parties to merge with each other. The third step, which usually happens naturally after the second step, is the marking behavior. Although beta does not have omega glands, the collective memory of some galactic humans is enough to make them hallucinate and contribute to the entire ritual.
Obviously Tanisel didn't prepare that kind of potion. He had to steal some sex|hormones suitable for alpha and beta from another center for researching medicine, and made two small bottles of potions by himself.
Ethan took the medicine, a little skeptical, "How do you priest know so much about dispensing medicine? Are you sure this has no side effects?"
"In our place, priests are sometimes responsible for treating some diseases, so we all have systematic pharmacy training." Tanisel ordered two glasses of absinthe with the automatic beverage machine in Ethan's room and brought it to Ethan, "I listen A colleague said that the absinthe on your planet has an aphrodisiac effect."
Ethan raised his head and drank the potion. The bitter taste made his face wrinkled like a bun. He immediately poured those beautiful pale green liquors in one breath, and the thick fennel aroma stirred between his lips and teeth, sinking into his abdomen downstream. It wasn't a pleasant taste, Ethan smashed his mouth, hoping to make the taste fade quickly.
Tanisel doesn't seem to like this weird and choking taste. The pretty face is obviously trying to control it not to be distorted too exaggeratedly, "*, how come there is such a awful drink... Wait for the opportunity to invite you to drink at Eve Star You can also swallow our wine."
Ethan listened and chuckled, "It's unknown whether I can leave the forbidden city in my life. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to drink at Eve Star."
There was an awkward silence between the two. Tanisel realized that this is not an atmosphere suitable for love, so he stood up, walked to Ethan sitting on the bed, dropped his eyes like mercury, and stretched out his hand to caress Yi carefully. Sen's neck.
"Are you ready?"
Ethan nodded, pursing his lips soaked in the liquor. It's really strange. Why are they still so nervous because they have been in a relationship twice? It is ridiculous that he is 30 years old, and this kind of nervous mood is like a little virgin on the wedding night.
Tanisel took out his breath ball, and after drawing a command in the air with his finger, the little thing suddenly floated with layers of small squares, shaking like a wave, and quickly stretched and deformed in the air, forming Ethan The simple platinum scepter when I first met Tanisel. Only then did Ethan discover that the spar in the center of Tanisel's scepter wrapped around the head of the scepter, exuding a blue light similar to the Egg of Order God. The scepter did not need to be held by the hand to settle on the ground firmly, the head of the scepter was just between Tanisel's palms.
Tanisel chanted a prayer in Eve, and the third eye on his forehead slowly opened halfway. At the same time, the blue crystals in the palm also brightened, and there was electric light flowing in the fine lines on the top. A little bit, the faint blue light filled the room.
In this blue light, Tanisel began to slowly unbutton his clothes. He nodded to Ethan and motioned to him to do the same.
In the gentle chanting of Tanisel, the two of them removed the fabrics, robes, coats, vests, trousers, and underwear little by little. Tanisel's perfect body is like a marble sculpture of the golden ratio of ancient Greece. Although Ethan's body is not as perfect as that, it has wide shoulders and narrow waist, is well-proportioned, and does not appear thin. Two naked | naked human bodies, light and shadow weave between the texture of the male muscles, like a calm and firm hymn, with a sacrificial beauty.
Tanithel's voice carried a kind of noble and strict power, and even the body that should have aroused desire|hope|hope|had become sacred. Ethan felt a wave of mild heat surging from his dantian, like warm spring water continuously surrounding his consciousness. In his eyes, Tanisel became a god, tall, beautiful, and omnipotent. He fell for him wholeheartedly, willing to crawl under his feet to be his slave.
Tanisel suddenly said in Earth language, "Follow me in the next move."
He first stretched out his left hand to stick to Ethan's heart, and Ethan also stretched out his left hand to stick to Tanisel's heart which is more to the right than humans. The hot beating propagated up from the palm, resonating with his own pulse. Tanisel's hand then left his chest, turned to his heart, and then turned his palm to Ethan. Ethan also learned his movements, and finally put his palms tightly together.
Tanisel's chanting turned into singing, a melodious tune, all striking a throbbing part of Ethan's body. His throat was dry, his palms were sweaty, and he had a reaction somewhere.
"Lie down," Tanisel ordered softly.
Ethan lay flat on the bed obediently, spreading his legs slightly. He saw the priest move onto him and envelope him like a dome. He gently took off Ethan's glasses and placed it on the bedside table, then put his hands on both sides of Ethan's cheeks, singing the remaining prayers.
"Forgot to tell you, it might be a bit boring this time." Tanisel whispered in his ear.
Ethan smiled and stretched out his hands and hooked his neck, "Did you forget that I was a boring beta?"
However, it turns out that the so-called boredom is not boring at all. Tanisel was as aggressive as ever, looting him unscrupulously. Ethan was dazzled and had trouble breathing. He begged meaninglessly, but he didn't know what he was asking for. In this extreme happiness, there is another warm and powerful force that has been floating around him, which is as comfortable as clouds. The chanting of the priest interspersed in the vortex of power at the right time, guiding him step by step to a pure land that he had never experienced. He felt that he was completely opened, and all his thoughts, consciousness and emotions were exposed. But he was not afraid at all, instead he was more fulfilling and happy than ever. It was as if after a long period of loneliness that he didn't even know himself, he finally merged with another beautiful soul.
When the ultimate happiness comes at the same time, their spirits are completely blended at that moment. Almost naturally, Tanisel lowered his head, murmured the last prayer on the side of Ethan's neck, and then bit down hard.
