In 2018, a reporter asked a prominent Christian leader in America why so many Christians were happy to support political candidates who seem to revel in disobeying Jesus' teachings. The leader replied that Christians were just happy to have someone “on the playground that is willing to punch the bully.” “What happened to turning the other cheek?” the reporter asked. Replied the leader: “You know, you only have two cheeks.” What if Jesus was serious about calling on Christians to […]

How'd you say in German: “I haven't replied to you because I had no time.”?

A necessary evil. By wolvie19.  Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Authors note: This is a story based in medieval times. The council was silent, waiting for King Alexandros to speak. There was a tense atmosphere around. “Where is Prince Icarus?” the king asked. “My king, he must be on his way.” replied one of the council members. “Send someone and bring the prince here at once,” “No need father, I am here,” Icarus said as he walked in the chambers, “The streets required some cleaning. The rogues are running rampant.”“Tell me Icarus, is your ambition to be a King or the commander of the street patrol?” The court went silent. Icarus swallowed his pride knowing he was in the presence of the only person who he admired and feared. “The streets will be handled by the patrol, your job is to sit in the council and govern, learn to be a king. You need to control your thirst for violence and be at this table learning diplomacy.” “I apologize father,” the prince said as he sat at his chair. “What word do we have from the North?” the king asked “Our diplomats are negotiating a deal with the King Boroth's diplomats. The water shortage in our kingdom could be solved if they release the flow of any of the 4 rivers flowing through their kingdom, ” Replied the minister of foreign affairs. “What is their demand?” “They have none, there is nothing from us that they want.” “I want a solution to this, while the diplomats are negotiating, I want the others to look into alternate sources. I cannot watch the citizens of Consentia die of hunger and thirst. All of you gone, Linus you and Icarus stay.” Everyone leaves the chamber with only Linus and Icarus staying. Linus was a young member of the council. His extraordinary wits and network of spies had brought him from the streets of Consentia to the chamber of the king. “Linus, you did not speak a single word in the council. Tell me what is it that you have in mind.” “Father, with all due respect if now is not the time to go to war, when is? When half the citizens are dead, and the rest are revolting?” “Have you every fought a war with an angry stomach Icarus? Our soldiers cannot go to war right now. War is not the solution” “My King, if I may, war maybe the solution.” “Linus, do you truly believe we can win a war against Andburn and win?” “We wouldn't, but Sparta would.” “And why would Sparta go to war with us. I am sure you are aware we have previously discussed this with Queen Dione, and she said she is not interested in a war right now.” “My King, they won't go to war with us, but we could with them.” “What do you mean?” asked Icarus. “My King, I have a way, it is risky but would work.” “Go on!” ordered the king. “My spies inform me that Princess Syclla, Queen Dione's youngest sister is involved with the Prince of the North Izsak, son of King Boroth. I have reports, Izsak is out on a hunt and has invited Scylla to his camp, in secrecy of course. Queen Dione does not approve of this union. If something were to happen to Princess Scylla in the shelter of Izsak. ” “Then Dione would declare a war against Andburn.” “And we as their ally would join the way from the south as Sparta attacks from the East. We know Spartans don't care much for diplomacy and would take no prisoners. If King Boroth dies on the battlefield and Prince Izsak in Dione's captive, it would be easier to broker a peace treaty with Princess Lyssa. Perhaps a union of Prince Icarus with the only living heir to the throne of Andburn.” “Linus, that is brilliant! How is the security level at Izsak's camp?” “It will be tight during the day, but Scylla is expected to arrive in the evening. To maintain secrecy, he will get rid of his security and keep only a few.” “Linus, no one outside the three of us should know about this. Icarus, you must carry out this task yourself. It is dangerous, but you must carry it. Linus, I trust Queen Dione would know that Princess Scylla is in danger and being kidnapped?” “Queen Dione would know Princess Scylla is in danger, but she may not have all the information to get there in time to save Scylla from a drunk Prince Izsak,” Linus said. “Linus, everyone ridiculed me to pick a young scrawny man from the street and take him into the royal council. But every day you prove me right. Fill in Icarus with rest of the details. Remember, this does not go beyond us.” “My king!” both said as they bowed and walked out. Tanisa was a young healer who had quickly gained a name among the King's council for her knowledge of plants to make the most unique potions and poisons. She was young and beautiful, whitish skin, dark hair and smile that melted most men's heart. Her petite figure engorged any man who she walked past. “My Prince, may I enter?” Tanisa said knocking on the doors of Icarus' chamber. “Come in.” “Here is the potion you requested for. Two drops of this in any liquid will make any drink feel like a glass of rum. The entire vial would cause extreme inebriation and hallucination.” “Perfect, I thank you Tanisa” “Anything else I can do my Prince?” “That will be all for now.” Icarus said as carefully put the vials in his sack. “Are you sure my prince?” Icarus turned, Tanisa had untied the knots of her robes and holding the dress just above her breasts stopping it from dropping down. Icarus moved closer to Tanisa and gently caressed his hand around her cheek “I have something important to focus on, I don't need any distractions right now.” “Of course, my Prince,” Icarus said releasing her arms and letting her dress drop. “But it is well known that a man's path to victory is most clear when all his other distractions, urges are taken care of.” Tanisa slowly moved towards Icarus and started moving her hand over the Prince's cock. She could feel Icarus' cock bulging as she rubbed his cock over his clothing. Icarus ran his fingers gently through the side of her face and move the lock of her ear. He put his hand in her air and pulled the pin from her hair opening her long hair and dropping it down Tanisa leaned into the prince and kissed his neck, “Do you have a preference my Prince?” Tanisa kissed lock his earlobe, “My vagina,” she kissed him on his neck again, “or perhaps my ass?” she said as she planted a deep kiss on his lips. They started kissing passionately. Icarus pushed a finger up her vagina. Tanisa let out a sensual moan. “My Prince, I, ” Icarus held Tanisa's hair tugging it slightly as he started stroking her vagina more violently. Tanisa was ecstatic at her debauchery, literally at the hands of the prince. She was on her toes as she felt like Icarus was almost picking her by her vagina. “Oh gods my prince, I'm cumming, ” Tanisa's body curled into a perfect half circle as a wave of orgasm hit her and she came. Tanisa slowly returned back to her sense. She reached her hands to Icarus' waist and pulled down his pants down. Tanisa didn't wait any time as she started licking the tip of Icarus' cock. Icarus could felt short on patience. At the surprise of Tanisa, he held the back of her head and pushed his cock all the way down Tanisa's throat. Tanisa was surprised at the size of his cock as she could feel the tip of his cock touch the back of her throat. Even then all of Icarus' cock wasn't all the way in Tanisa's mouth as he tried to push it down further Tanisa was at the brink of passing unable to breathe. She pulled the cock out of her mouth and continued trying to catch her breathe. As soon as she caught some air Icarus once again pushed his cock in her mouth. He put his hand on the back of her head and continued fucking her mouth. Tanisa began wanting to seduce the prince, but him fucking her tiny mouth with his cock was proving too much for her handle. She was doing the best trying to take it all in. “Aaah, your mouth is amazing. Don't stop Tanisa, don't stop.” Icarus started stroking harder fucking Tanisa's mouth. The gagging caused Tanisa's eyes getting teary. Icarus stopped and pulled his cock out, before he blew his load. He was enjoying Tanisa's lips around his cock more than he had anticipated. “Get up,” He said as he picked her up and bent her over the edge of his bed, “You're craving for my cock aren't you? You want to feel special getting fucked by the prince, don't you?” Icarus swiftly pushed his cock up Tanisa's vagina. Tanisa left out a loud moan as her pussy was stretched by Icarus' cock. “Tell me how badly you've wanted me to fuck you?” Icarus didn't take any mercy and started pounding her hard. “My prince, aaaah, ” Tanisa screamed, partially in ecstasy and partially in pain. “How long have you wanted my cock up your cunt, huh?” “ah, fuck,” Tanisa couldn't complete a word. “Tell me Tanisa, how long have you wanted my cock?” “Forever my prince, forever, ” Tanisa cried in pleasure. He pulled her by her hair and started biting her neck as he caressed her breasts. Tanisa had fantasized being fucked by the Prince for a long time, but never thought she would enjoy the royal cock so much “My King, fuck me harder, ah, fuck me harder. ” Icarus pushed her down again and continued ramming her hard. Tanisa screamed louder every time Icarus slapped her ass. “My king, ah, my, ” Icarus couldn't take it any longer as he reached climax and blew all his load inside Tanisa. The feeling of hot cum inside her, gave Tanisa the last push she needed as she reached her orgasm. They both collapsed on the bed. “You are a unique woman, Tanisa.” “I live to serve you, my King.” “Prince!” “I am not the King.” “Of course, not yet.” Authors note: This is second chapter of a long story based in medieval times. If you have not read the first chapter, I advise you to read the first chapter. Warning: The story contains some themes of war violence and mentions of rape (no description) Linus guided Icarus to the Izsak's camp. “My Prince, that is the camp right there.” “Linus, I've told you a number of times, we grew up together, and when it is just the two of us you can drop the formalities.” “Of course, Icarus, now listen to me carefully. Princess Scylla should be arriving soon, Izsak has already gotten rid of most of his security and only has his two trustworthy guards. Tanisa's potion will take about few minutes to take effect. You will have plenty of time before Queen Dione's men arrive.” “There she is, that is Scylla, isn't it?” “Yes, that is her.” “What's happening? Why are the guards leaving with her maid?” “I am guessing the princess wants some privacy. This makes things easier.” “I prefer a cleaner war, but if this is what is required for my people, so be it.” “Good luck Icarus!” Scylla & Izsak “Princess Scylla, you look beautiful. My eyes have been longing for your sight for so long.” “You are too kind Prince Izsak.” Spartan women were known warriors and could fight most men not Spartan, but Scylla was different. She was delicate as a flower, long wavy auburn hair reaching her butt. Her skin had a creamy complexion and deep dark eyes. Her smile was as pleasant as sunset. She was wearing long white robes suiting that of a princess, encompassing her slim body but showing the curves just at the right places. “Where is your security my love?” Izsak asked. “I couldn't risk, not yet. I could bring my only trusted maid.” “Don't worry my guards are” “My prince, I feel safe with you. We don't need these guards with us for now. You can relieve them of their duty for now.” “Are you sure my love?” “Yes, I am, and I believe these are your most trustworthy men. I have a reward for the trust you have in them. Matila will reward them tonight. They may have laid with many women, but no one fucks like a spartan woman.” She turned towards the soldiers, “But I must warn, Spartan women don't get under a man they don't love.” The maids leave each take hands of the guards and take them away. Matila A little away from the Izsak's tent, the two guards were enjoying the body of the only spartan woman they had ever been with Matila was on her knees taking sucking cock of one of the guards while the other one was pounding her from the back. Both men grunting at the glory of ravishing a spartan woman. She was enjoying her pounding while it suddenly stopped. The guard behind her collapsed on the side. As she looked up, she saw the second guard holding his neck trying to pull out the dart in his neck unsuccessfully as he too collapsed on the ground. Matila got up in horror and was about to scream, as she felt a hand grip her body and her mouth covered with another hand. “Scream and I will snap your neck.” Icarus said. The maid, still shook in horror, but held her nerves. “I do not have much time and certainly not going to repeat myself, so listen carefully. I am here on a mission. Lucky for you, the mission does not require your death. In fact, you are more useful to me alive than dead. Now, If you promise not to scream, I am going to take my hand of my mouth. Nod your head if you agree.” Matila agreed in compliance. Icarus released his hand over his mouth and her body, not allowing her to turn. The maid was shaking in horror trying to control her tears. “Take this,” Icarus said as he placed a vial in her hand, “You will go in the tent and put this in Prince Izsak's drink. This isn't poison, you won't be killing him, that is all you need to know. Once that is done you will calmly walk out and stand next to this tree facing the tent. Understood?” “Yes!” Matila replied meekly. “I will be watching you at every minute. I told you I don't need to kill you, but it won't bother me much. The slightest hint I get of you defying my orders and you will an arrow pierce through your heart.” Matila's eyes popped in horror, but she nodded in compliance. “Go now!” Matila wiped the tears of her face and followed his instructions. She asked for permission to enter the tent. When she entered the tent, she found Izsak and Scylla cuddled up to each other on the bed. In the corner of the tent, she saw a small hole in the tent and eyes looking at her. She poured them a drink and silently poured the vial in Izsak's wine, “My Prince, the finest wine from Spart,” she said presenting him the wine. The prince not bothered to take his eyes from princes Scylla for even a moment grabbed the glass and began sipping the wine. “Is there anything else I can do?” “That is all Matila, thank you!” Scylla responded. Matila walked out of the tent and took a bid breathe of air contemplating the act of treason she had just performed. She stood near the tree as instructed waiting for what net would happen. “You've done well,” she heard a voice from behind. She got startled and almost screamed but Icarus gripped her again and covered her mouth. “Remember, no screaming. You've done what was asked of you, and as promised I won't kill you. But you realize you've done something terrible, if you wish to live you need to do exactly what I tell you. Nod if you agree.” Matila nodded. “You will be asked what happened here. You will tell everyone; you were accompanying Princess Scylla to the temple of Kahn when you were attacked by the two guards lying behind you. You saw Prince Izsak take Scylla in his tent and in a few moments heard her scream as these guards were raping you. Understood?” Icarus took the hand off her mouth still holding her by a tight grip. “When you wake up, you will tell the Spartans the last thing you remember was Scylla's screams going silent. Understood?” “When I wake up ?” Matila tried asking just as she felt a small prick in her neck. Before she could feel the pain of something poked in her neck, she felt unconscious and crumbled down in Icarus' arms. As Matila left the tent, Izsak and Scylla were kissing each other, feeling each other's bodies as they were letting out the frustration due to being away from each other. “My love, I have missed you so much,” Scylla said finding difficult to let go off Izsak's lips. “Me too my love, but we don't have to stay separated anymore,” Izsak said. Scylla stopped for a moment, “What do you mean?” “Let's elope, you and I, away from everyone, everything.” “But where would we go? If either of our families find us, it would be the end of us.” “I have thought about it. I have secretly setup a house far east in the city of Leopolis. I have accumulated small wealth and a trade under a different name. We will have to give up our royal lives and live a normal life, with each other.” There was sparkle in Scylla's eyes, “Is this really possible?” “Yes. Neither my father nor Queen Dione would reach that far east. They have no diplomatic relations with Queen Victoria. No one knows us there; we will be safe. But we will not by Prince and Princess anymore.” “I don't care for that, you will always be my King and I want to be your Queen,” Scylla said as she planted a deep passionate kiss. Their tongues were mingling each other as their lips met each other with passion. The thought of them being together had elevated the passion in the moment. Scylla got on top of Izsak as she was kissing him madly. She opened the knots on Izsak's shirt as she continued kissing his neck, his chest and all over his body. Izsak in the heat of passion ripped open her blouse exposing her breasts. “I can't believe after tonight we will be together forever,” Scylla said as she created some separation. She reached down, unbuckled Izsak's britches and pulled it down exposing his erect cock. “Let me show you my gratitude,” Scylla said as she started stroking Izsak's cock. As his cock got fully erect, Scylla proceeded to kiss the tip of his cock, slowly putting her lips on it and gradually moving down on his cock. Izsak leaned his head back soaking in the ecstasy. Izsak looked down to see the beautiful sight of his love, Scylla's head going up and down on his cock. His moans were getting louder as he was hearing the slurping sound of Scylla's lips brushing his cock. Scylla paused and rose up on the bed. She took off the half torn blouse and slipped her dress down to her waist. She moved close to Izsak and planted another deep kiss, positioning herself over Izsak's crotch. “My love, I thought you wanted to wait until our marriage,” Izsak said. “My king, in the eyes of gods, I am already yours. I do not wish to wait for laws of men.” Scylla positioned Izsak's cock at the entrance of her vagina. The nervousness of feeling a cock in her virgin vagina was battling her eagerness to finally make love with the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life. Just as she pushed the tip of the cock in she left out a soft moan, “ah, ” Slowly she continued pushing down halfway down Izsak's penis, slowly moving up and down on it. Izsak patiently enjoyed the moment, waiting for Scylla to take her time. Scylla opened her eyes and looked in the eyes of Izsak. As soon as she felt the love for her, she pushed herself down completely, “ah my gods.” Scylla screamed as she felt all of Izsak's cock pierce through her. She could feel the pain but determined to get past it she continued moving on his cock. Slowly at first, her pain was decreasing, and pleasure was taking its place now. Her cries of pain were now turning into moans of pleasure. She started riding now in pleasure, sensually her body moved now enjoying the carnal pleasure. Her hand, previously resting on Izsak's chest, now moved back as she leaned back pointing her perky nipples towards the sky as she began to ride Izsak's cock in a rhythmic motion. Izsak grabbed Scylla's breasts now, caressing her breasts with both hands as he felt his cock gripped by Scylla's warm and tight vagina. He knew he would not last long in this position. He swiftly got up and turned Scylla putting her on her back. He got on top of her, his cock still inside Scylla. He leaned into her and planted a deep kiss on her lips as he gently began thrusting his hip, moving his cock in and out of Scylla's vagina. Slowly he increased his speed as Scylla could feel the pain and passion mix together as she pierced her nails in Izsak's back leaving marks of passion. Scylla could feel an intense orgasm build up, “My god, ah fuck,” she screamed and moaned as she felt her body taken over by an intense orgasm and felt her soul crumble at the mercy of her love, Izsak. Scylla's moan had pushed Izsak close to orgasm, “My love, I am cumming,” Izsak said as he thrust his hip for one final time as he unloaded all of his cum inside Scylla's vagina. Izsak crashed next to Scylla as Scylla felt Izsak's cum drip out of her vagina. They both were breathing heavy. “I love you, Izsak” Scylla said as she settled into the arms of Izsak, “I will follow you anywhere you take me, until the end of time.” “Scylla,” Izsak mumbled. “Yes, my love.” “I, I am not feeling, well, ” Izsak said as he tried to get up and fumbled again. “What's wrong my love?” Scylla said as she felt confused on what was happening. Izsak was trying to say something but could not put any words together as he could feel the world around him revolving. “What's wrong Izsak? What's happening?” Scylla cried in panic. “Don't worry, he won't be dying. He is just under heavy hallucination.” She heard a voice from behind. As she turned, she saw a tall, strong man in a warrior's attire standing behind her. “Who are you? What have you done to him?” Scylla yelled as she tried grabbed a sword lying next to the bed. She stood in front of Izsak trying to shield the struggling prince pointing her sword at Icarus. “It doesn't matter who I am or what I want. But I do feel you deserve to know; this isn't your fault. I have nothing against you, perhaps if your King and Queen had worked with us, this day wouldn't have come.” Syclla swung Izsak's sword at Icarus. Icarus grabbed, dodged her first swing, and caught her wrist, “I have to do it for my people,” he said as he turned her wrist to stab the sword in her chest pointing towards and her and pulled her into the sword. Izsak saw in horror as he saw his own sword pierce through Scylla's heart as her naked body collapsed on the ground right in front of him. He mustered all his energy to get up an attack Icarus, but knocked down by a single punch by Icarus as he fell unconscious next to Scylla's naked body. To be continued. By wolvie19 for Literotica

Even then all of Icarus' cock wasn't all the way in Tanisa's mouth as he tried to push it down further Tanisa was at the brink of passing unable to breathe. She pulled the cock out of her mouth and continued trying to catch her breathe. As soon as she caught some air Icarus once again pushed his cock in her mouth. He put his hand on the back of her head and continued fucking her mouth. Tanisa began wanting to seduce the prince, but him fucking her tiny mouth with his cock was proving too much for her handle. She was doing the best trying to take it all in. “Aaah, your mouth is amazing. Don't stop Tanisa, don't stop.” Icarus started stroking harder fucking Tanisa's mouth. The gagging caused Tanisa's eyes getting teary. Icarus stopped and pulled his cock out, before he blew his load. He was enjoying Tanisa's lips around his cock more than he had anticipated. “Get up,” He said as he picked her up and bent her over the edge of his bed, “You're craving for my cock aren't you? You want to feel special getting fucked by the prince, don't you?” Icarus swiftly pushed his cock up Tanisa's vagina. Tanisa left out a loud moan as her pussy was stretched by Icarus' cock. “Tell me how badly you've wanted me to fuck you?” Icarus didn't take any mercy and started pounding her hard. “My prince, aaaah, ” Tanisa screamed, partially in ecstasy and partially in pain. “How long have you wanted my cock up your cunt, huh?” “ah, fuck,” Tanisa couldn't complete a word. “Tell me Tanisa, how long have you wanted my cock?” “Forever my prince, forever, ” Tanisa cried in pleasure. He pulled her by her hair and started biting her neck as he caressed her breasts. Tanisa had fantasized being fucked by the Prince for a long time, but never thought she would enjoy the royal cock so much “My King, fuck me harder, ah, fuck me harder. ” Icarus pushed her down again and continued ramming her hard. Tanisa screamed louder every time Icarus slapped her ass. “My king, ah, my, ” Icarus couldn't take it any longer as he reached climax and blew all his load inside Tanisa. The feeling of hot cum inside her, gave Tanisa the last push she needed as she reached her orgasm. They both collapsed on the bed. “You are a unique woman, Tanisa.” “I live to serve you, my King.” “Prince!” “I am not the King.” “Of course, not yet.” Authors note: This is second chapter of a long story based in medieval times. If you have not read the first chapter, I advise you to read the first chapter. Warning: The story contains some themes of war violence and mentions of rape (no description) Linus guided Icarus to the Izsak's camp. “My Prince, that is the camp right there.” “Linus, I've told you a number of times, we grew up together, and when it is just the two of us you can drop the formalities.” “Of course, Icarus, now listen to me carefully. Princess Scylla should be arriving soon, Izsak has already gotten rid of most of his security and only has his two trustworthy guards. Tanisa's potion will take about few minutes to take effect. You will have plenty of time before Queen Dione's men arrive.” “There she is, that is Scylla, isn't it?” “Yes, that is her.” “What's happening? Why are the guards leaving with her maid?” “I am guessing the princess wants some privacy. This makes things easier.” “I prefer a cleaner war, but if this is what is required for my people, so be it.” “Good luck Icarus!” Scylla & Izsak “Princess Scylla, you look beautiful. My eyes have been longing for your sight for so long.” “You are too kind Prince Izsak.” Spartan women were known warriors and could fight most men not Spartan, but Scylla was different. She was delicate as a flower, long wavy auburn hair reaching her butt. Her skin had a creamy complexion and deep dark eyes. Her smile was as pleasant as sunset. She was wearing long white robes suiting that of a princess, encompassing her slim body but showing the curves just at the right places. “Where is your security my love?” Izsak asked. “I couldn't risk, not yet. I could bring my only trusted maid.” “Don't worry my guards are” “My prince, I feel safe with you. We don't need these guards with us for now. You can relieve them of their duty for now.” “Are you sure my love?” “Yes, I am, and I believe these are your most trustworthy men. I have a reward for the trust you have in them. Matila will reward them tonight. They may have laid with many women, but no one fucks like a spartan woman.” She turned towards the soldiers, “But I must warn, Spartan women don't get under a man they don't love.” The maids leave each take hands of the guards and take them away. Matila A little away from the Izsak's tent, the two guards were enjoying the body of the only spartan woman they had ever been with Matila was on her knees taking sucking cock of one of the guards while the other one was pounding her from the back. Both men grunting at the glory of ravishing a spartan woman. She was enjoying her pounding while it suddenly stopped. The guard behind her collapsed on the side. As she looked up, she saw the second guard holding his neck trying to pull out the dart in his neck unsuccessfully as he too collapsed on the ground. Matila got up in horror and was about to scream, as she felt a hand grip her body and her mouth covered with another hand. “Scream and I will snap your neck.” Icarus said. The maid, still shook in horror, but held her nerves. “I do not have much time and certainly not going to repeat myself, so listen carefully. I am here on a mission. Lucky for you, the mission does not require your death. In fact, you are more useful to me alive than dead. Now, If you promise not to scream, I am going to take my hand of my mouth. Nod your head if you agree.” Matila agreed in compliance. Icarus released his hand over his mouth and her body, not allowing her to turn. The maid was shaking in horror trying to control her tears. “Take this,” Icarus said as he placed a vial in her hand, “You will go in the tent and put this in Prince Izsak's drink. This isn't poison, you won't be killing him, that is all you need to know. Once that is done you will calmly walk out and stand next to this tree facing the tent. Understood?” “Yes!” Matila replied meekly. “I will be watching you at every minute. I told you I don't need to kill you, but it won't bother me much. The slightest hint I get of you defying my orders and you will an arrow pierce through your heart.” Matila's eyes popped in horror, but she nodded in compliance. “Go now!” Matila wiped the tears of her face and followed his instructions. She asked for permission to enter the tent. When she entered the tent, she found Izsak and Scylla cuddled up to each other on the bed. In the corner of the tent, she saw a small hole in the tent and eyes looking at her. She poured them a drink and silently poured the vial in Izsak's wine, “My Prince, the finest wine from Spart,” she said presenting him the wine. The prince not bothered to take his eyes from princes Scylla for even a moment grabbed the glass and began sipping the wine. “Is there anything else I can do?” “That is all Matila, thank you!” Scylla responded. Matila walked out of the tent and took a bid breathe of air contemplating the act of treason she had just performed. She stood near the tree as instructed waiting for what net would happen. “You've done well,” she heard a voice from behind. She got startled and almost screamed but Icarus gripped her again and covered her mouth. “Remember, no screaming. You've done what was asked of you, and as promised I won't kill you. But you realize you've done something terrible, if you wish to live you need to do exactly what I tell you. Nod if you agree.” Matila nodded. “You will be asked what happened here. You will tell everyone; you were accompanying Princess Scylla to the temple of Kahn when you were attacked by the two guards lying behind you. You saw Prince Izsak take Scylla in his tent and in a few moments heard her scream as these guards were raping you. Understood?” Icarus took the hand off her mouth still holding her by a tight grip. “When you wake up, you will tell the Spartans the last thing you remember was Scylla's screams going silent. Understood?” “When I wake up ?” Matila tried asking just as she felt a small prick in her neck. Before she could feel the pain of something poked in her neck, she felt unconscious and crumbled down in Icarus' arms. As Matila left the tent, Izsak and Scylla were kissing each other, feeling each other's bodies as they were letting out the frustration due to being away from each other. “My love, I have missed you so much,” Scylla said finding difficult to let go off Izsak's lips. “Me too my love, but we don't have to stay separated anymore,” Izsak said. Scylla stopped for a moment, “What do you mean?” “Let's elope, you and I, away from everyone, everything.” “But where would we go? If either of our families find us, it would be the end of us.” “I have thought about it. I have secretly setup a house far east in the city of Leopolis. I have accumulated small wealth and a trade under a different name. We will have to give up our royal lives and live a normal life, with each other.” There was sparkle in Scylla's eyes, “Is this really possible?” “Yes. Neither my father nor Queen Dione would reach that far east. They have no diplomatic relations with Queen Victoria. No one knows us there; we will be safe. But we will not by Prince and Princess anymore.” “I don't care for that, you will always be my King and I want to be your Queen,” Scylla said as she planted a deep passionate kiss. Their tongues were mingling each other as their lips met each other with passion. The thought of them being together had elevated the passion in the moment. Scylla got on top of Izsak as she was kissing him madly. She opened the knots on Izsak's shirt as she continued kissing his neck, his chest and all over his body. Izsak in the heat of passion ripped open her blouse exposing her breasts. “I can't believe after tonight we will be together forever,” Scylla said as she created some separation. She reached down, unbuckled Izsak's britches and pulled it down exposing his erect cock. “Let me show you my gratitude,” Scylla said as she started stroking Izsak's cock. As his cock got fully erect, Scylla proceeded to kiss the tip of his cock, slowly putting her lips on it and gradually moving down on his cock. Izsak leaned his head back soaking in the ecstasy. Izsak looked down to see the beautiful sight of his love, Scylla's head going up and down on his cock. His moans were getting louder as he was hearing the slurping sound of Scylla's lips brushing his cock. Scylla paused and rose up on the bed. She took off the half torn blouse and slipped her dress down to her waist. She moved close to Izsak and planted another deep kiss, positioning herself over Izsak's crotch. “My love, I thought you wanted to wait until our marriage,” Izsak said. “My king, in the eyes of gods, I am already yours. I do not wish to wait for laws of men.” Scylla positioned Izsak's cock at the entrance of her vagina. The nervousness of feeling a cock in her virgin vagina was battling her eagerness to finally make love with the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life. Just as she pushed the tip of the cock in she left out a soft moan, “ah, ” Slowly she continued pushing down halfway down Izsak's penis, slowly moving up and down on it. Izsak patiently enjoyed the moment, waiting for Scylla to take her time. Scylla opened her eyes and looked in the eyes of Izsak. As soon as she felt the love for her, she pushed herself down completely, “ah my gods.” Scylla screamed as she felt all of Izsak's cock pierce through her. She could feel the pain but determined to get past it she continued moving on his cock. Slowly at first, her pain was decreasing, and pleasure was taking its place now. Her cries of pain were now turning into moans of pleasure. She started riding now in pleasure, sensually her body moved now enjoying the carnal pleasure. Her hand, previously resting on Izsak's chest, now moved back as she leaned back pointing her perky nipples towards the sky as she began to ride Izsak's cock in a rhythmic motion. Izsak grabbed Scylla's breasts now, caressing her breasts with both hands as he felt his cock gripped by Scylla's warm and tight vagina. He knew he would not last long in this position. He swiftly got up and turned Scylla putting her on her back. He got on top of her, his cock still inside Scylla. He leaned into her and planted a deep kiss on her lips as he gently began thrusting his hip, moving his cock in and out of Scylla's vagina. Slowly he increased his speed as Scylla could feel the pain and passion mix together as she pierced her nails in Izsak's back leaving marks of passion. Scylla could feel an intense orgasm build up, “My god, ah fuck,” she screamed and moaned as she felt her body taken over by an intense orgasm and felt her soul crumble at the mercy of her love, Izsak. Scylla's moan had pushed Izsak close to orgasm, “My love, I am cumming,” Izsak said as he thrust his hip for one final time as he unloaded all of his cum inside Scylla's vagina. Izsak crashed next to Scylla as Scylla felt Izsak's cum drip out of her vagina. They both were breathing heavy. “I love you, Izsak” Scylla said as she settled into the arms of Izsak, “I will follow you anywhere you take me, until the end of time.” “Scylla,” Izsak mumbled. “Yes, my love.” “I, I am not feeling, well, ” Izsak said as he tried to get up and fumbled again. “What's wrong my love?” Scylla said as she felt confused on what was happening. Izsak was trying to say something but could not put any words together as he could feel the world around him revolving. “What's wrong Izsak? What's happening?” Scylla cried in panic. “Don't worry, he won't be dying. He is just under heavy hallucination.” She heard a voice from behind. As she turned, she saw a tall, strong man in a warrior's attire standing behind her. “Who are you? What have you done to him?” Scylla yelled as she tried grabbed a sword lying next to the bed. She stood in front of Izsak trying to shield the struggling prince pointing her sword at Icarus. “It doesn't matter who I am or what I want. But I do feel you deserve to know; this isn't your fault. I have nothing against you, perhaps if your King and Queen had worked with us, this day wouldn't have come.” Syclla swung Izsak's sword at Icarus. Icarus grabbed, dodged her first swing, and caught her wrist, “I have to do it for my people,” he said as he turned her wrist to stab the sword in her chest pointing towards and her and pulled her into the sword. Izsak saw in horror as he saw his own sword pierce through Scylla's heart as her naked body collapsed on the ground right in front of him. He mustered all his energy to get up an attack Icarus, but knocked down by a single punch by Icarus as he fell unconscious next to Scylla's naked body. To be continued. By wolvie19 for Literotica

...to Emma's DM!

“Who is this stranger?” A college student in Georgia (USA) asked that question when a fellow student texted him saying a DNA test showed they could be brothers. Separated by adoption almost twenty years earlier, the young man texted a reply in which he asked what name the other student had been given at birth. He immediately answered, “Tyler.” Replied the other, “Yes!!! You are my brother!” Recognized by his name!Consider how a name plays a key role in the Easter story. As it unfolds, Mary Magdalene comes to Christ’s tomb, and she weeps when she finds His body missing. “Woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asks (John 20:15). She didn’t recognize Him, however, until He spoke her name, “Mary” (v. 16).Hearing Him say it, she “cried out in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (Which means ‘Teacher’)” (v. 16). Her reaction expresses the joy believers in Jesus feel on Easter morning, recognizing that our risen Christ conquered death for all, knowing each of us as His children. As He told Mary, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God” (v. 17). In Georgia, two reunited brothers bonded by name, vowing to take “this relationship to the next level.” On Easter, we praise Jesus for already taking the utmost step to rise in sacrificial love for those He knows as His own. For you and me, indeed, He’s alive!

A necessary evil. By wolvie19.  Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Authors note: This is a story based in medieval times.The council was silent, waiting for King Alexandros to speak. There was a tense atmosphere around.“Where is Prince Icarus?” the king asked.“My king, he must be on his way.” replied one of the council members.“Send someone and bring the prince here at once,”“No need father, I am here,” Icarus said as he walked in the chambers, “The streets required some cleaning. The rogues are running rampant.”“Tell me Icarus, is your ambition to be a King or the commander of the street patrol?” The court went silent. Icarus swallowed his pride knowing he was in the presence of the only person who he admired and feared.“The streets will be handled by the patrol, your job is to sit in the council and govern, learn to be a king. You need to control your thirst for violence and be at this table learning diplomacy.”“I apologize father,” the prince said as he sat at his chair.“What word do we have from the North?” the king asked“Our diplomats are negotiating a deal with the King Boroth's diplomats. The water shortage in our kingdom could be solved if they release the flow of any of the 4 rivers flowing through their kingdom, ” Replied the minister of foreign affairs.“What is their demand?”“They have none, there is nothing from us that they want.”“I want a solution to this, while the diplomats are negotiating, I want the others to look into alternate sources. I cannot watch the citizens of Consentia die of hunger and thirst. All of you gone, Linus you and Icarus stay.”Everyone leaves the chamber with only Linus and Icarus staying. Linus was a young member of the council. His extraordinary wits and network of spies had brought him from the streets of Consentia to the chamber of the king.“Linus, you did not speak a single word in the council. Tell me what is it that you have in mind.”“Father, with all due respect if now is not the time to go to war, when is? When half the citizens are dead, and the rest are revolting?”“Have you every fought a war with an angry stomach Icarus? Our soldiers cannot go to war right now. War is not the solution”“My King, if I may, war maybe the solution.”“Linus, do you truly believe we can win a war against Andburn and win?”“We wouldn't, but Sparta would.”“And why would Sparta go to war with us. I am sure you are aware we have previously discussed this with Queen Dione, and she said she is not interested in a war right now.”“My King, they won't go to war with us, but we could with them.”“What do you mean?” asked Icarus.“My King, I have a way, it is risky but would work.”“Go on!” ordered the king.“My spies inform me that Princess Syclla, Queen Dione's youngest sister is involved with the Prince of the North Izsak, son of King Boroth. I have reports, Izsak is out on a hunt and has invited Scylla to his camp, in secrecy of course. Queen Dione does not approve of this union. If something were to happen to Princess Scylla in the shelter of Izsak. ”“Then Dione would declare a war against Andburn.”“And we as their ally would join the way from the south as Sparta attacks from the East. We know Spartans don't care much for diplomacy and would take no prisoners. If King Boroth dies on the battlefield and Prince Izsak in Dione's captive, it would be easier to broker a peace treaty with Princess Lyssa. Perhaps a union of Prince Icarus with the only living heir to the throne of Andburn.”“Linus, that is brilliant! How is the security level at Izsak's camp?”“It will be tight during the day, but Scylla is expected to arrive in the evening. To maintain secrecy, he will get rid of his security and keep only a few.”“Linus, no one outside the three of us should know about this. Icarus, you must carry out this task yourself. It is dangerous, but you must carry it. Linus, I trust Queen Dione would know that Princess Scylla is in danger and being kidnapped?”“Queen Dione would know Princess Scylla is in danger, but she may not have all the information to get there in time to save Scylla from a drunk Prince Izsak,” Linus said.“Linus, everyone ridiculed me to pick a young scrawny man from the street and take him into the royal council. But every day you prove me right. Fill in Icarus with rest of the details. Remember, this does not go beyond us.”“My king!” both said as they bowed and walked out.Tanisa was a young healer who had quickly gained a name among the King's council for her knowledge of plants to make the most unique potions and poisons. She was young and beautiful, whitish skin, dark hair and smile that melted most men's heart. Her petite figure engorged any man who she walked past.“My Prince, may I enter?” Tanisa said knocking on the doors of Icarus' chamber.“Come in.”“Here is the potion you requested for. Two drops of this in any liquid will make any drink feel like a glass of rum. The entire vial would cause extreme inebriation and hallucination.”“Perfect, I thank you Tanisa”“Anything else I can do my Prince?”“That will be all for now.” Icarus said as carefully put the vials in his sack.“Are you sure my prince?”Icarus turned, Tanisa had untied the knots of her robes and holding the dress just above her breasts stopping it from dropping down.Icarus moved closer to Tanisa and gently caressed his hand around her cheek“I have something important to focus on, I don't need any distractions right now.”“Of course, my Prince,” Icarus said releasing her arms and letting her dress drop. “But it is well known that a man's path to victory is most clear when all his other distractions, urges are taken care of.”Tanisa slowly moved towards Icarus and started moving her hand over the Prince's cock. She could feel Icarus' cock bulging as she rubbed his cock over his clothing.Icarus ran his fingers gently through the side of her face and move the lock of her ear. He put his hand in her air and pulled the pin from her hair opening her long hair and dropping it downTanisa leaned into the prince and kissed his neck, “Do you have a preference my Prince?” Tanisa kissed lock his earlobe, “My vagina,” she kissed him on his neck again, “or perhaps my ass?” she said as she planted a deep kiss on his lips. They started kissing passionately.Icarus pushed a finger up her vagina. Tanisa let out a sensual moan.“My Prince, I, ”Icarus held Tanisa's hair tugging it slightly as he started stroking her vagina more violently. Tanisa was ecstatic at her debauchery, literally at the hands of the prince. She was on her toes as she felt like Icarus was almost picking her by her vagina.“Oh gods my prince, I'm cumming, ” Tanisa's body curled into a perfect half circle as a wave of orgasm hit her and she came.Tanisa slowly returned back to her sense. She reached her hands to Icarus' waist and pulled down his pants down.Tanisa didn't wait any time as she started licking the tip of Icarus' cock. Icarus could felt short on patience. At the surprise of Tanisa, he held the back of her head and pushed his cock all the way down Tanisa's throat.Tanisa was surprised at the size of his cock as she could feel the tip of his cock touch the back of her throat. Even then all of Icarus' cock wasn't all the way in Tanisa's mouth as he tried to push it down furtherTanisa was at the brink of passing unable to breathe. She pulled the cock out of her mouth and continued trying to catch her breathe.As soon as she caught some air Icarus once again pushed his cock in her mouth. He put his hand on the back of her head and continued fucking her mouth.Tanisa began wanting to seduce the prince, but him fucking her tiny mouth with his cock was proving too much for her handle. She was doing the best trying to take it all in.“Aaah, your mouth is amazing. Don't stop Tanisa, don't stop.”Icarus started stroking harder fucking Tanisa's mouth. The gagging caused Tanisa's eyes getting teary.Icarus stopped and pulled his cock out, before he blew his load. He was enjoying Tanisa's lips around his cock more than he had anticipated.“Get up,” He said as he picked her up and bent her over the edge of his bed, “You're craving for my cock aren't you? You want to feel special getting fucked by the prince, don't you?” Icarus swiftly pushed his cock up Tanisa's vagina. Tanisa left out a loud moan as her pussy was stretched by Icarus' cock.“Tell me how badly you've wanted me to fuck you?” Icarus didn't take any mercy and started pounding her hard.“My prince, aaaah, ” Tanisa screamed, partially in ecstasy and partially in pain.“How long have you wanted my cock up your cunt, huh?”“ah, fuck,” Tanisa couldn't complete a word.“Tell me Tanisa, how long have you wanted my cock?”“Forever my prince, forever, ” Tanisa cried in pleasure.He pulled her by her hair and started biting her neck as he caressed her breasts. Tanisa had fantasized being fucked by the Prince for a long time, but never thought she would enjoy the royal cock so much“My King, fuck me harder, ah, fuck me harder. ”Icarus pushed her down again and continued ramming her hard. Tanisa screamed louder every time Icarus slapped her ass.“My king, ah, my, ”Icarus couldn't take it any longer as he reached climax and blew all his load inside Tanisa. The feeling of hot cum inside her, gave Tanisa the last push she needed as she reached her orgasm.They both collapsed on the bed.“You are a unique woman, Tanisa.”“I live to serve you, my King.”“Prince!”“I am not the King.”“Of course, not yet.”Authors note: This is second chapter of a long story based in medieval times. If you have not read the first chapter, I advise you to read the first chapter.Warning: The story contains some themes of war violence and mentions of rape (no description)Linus guided Icarus to the Izsak's camp.“My Prince, that is the camp right there.”“Linus, I've told you a number of times, we grew up together, and when it is just the two of us you can drop the formalities.”“Of course, Icarus, now listen to me carefully. Princess Scylla should be arriving soon, Izsak has already gotten rid of most of his security and only has his two trustworthy guards. Tanisa's potion will take about few minutes to take effect. You will have plenty of time before Queen Dione's men arrive.”“There she is, that is Scylla, isn't it?”“Yes, that is her.”“What's happening? Why are the guards leaving with her maid?”“I am guessing the princess wants some privacy. This makes things easier.”“I prefer a cleaner war, but if this is what is required for my people, so be it.”“Good luck Icarus!”Scylla & Izsak“Princess Scylla, you look beautiful. My eyes have been longing for your sight for so long.”“You are too kind Prince Izsak.”Spartan women were known warriors and could fight most men not Spartan, but Scylla was different. She was delicate as a flower, long wavy auburn hair reaching her butt. Her skin had a creamy complexion and deep dark eyes. Her smile was as pleasant as sunset. She was wearing long white robes suiting that of a princess, encompassing her slim body but showing the curves just at the right places.“Where is your security my love?” Izsak asked.“I couldn't risk, not yet. I could bring my only trusted maid.”“Don't worry my guards are”“My prince, I feel safe with you. We don't need these guards with us for now. You can relieve them of their duty for now.”“Are you sure my love?”“Yes, I am, and I believe these are your most trustworthy men. I have a reward for the trust you have in them. Matila will reward them tonight. They may have laid with many women, but no one fucks like a spartan woman.” She turned towards the soldiers, “But I must warn, Spartan women don't get under a man they don't love.”The maids leave each take hands of the guards and take them away.MatilaA little away from the Izsak's tent, the two guards were enjoying the body of the only spartan woman they had ever been withMatila was on her knees taking sucking cock of one of the guards while the other one was pounding her from the back. Both men grunting at the glory of ravishing a spartan woman.She was enjoying her pounding while it suddenly stopped. The guard behind her collapsed on the side. As she looked up, she saw the second guard holding his neck trying to pull out the dart in his neck unsuccessfully as he too collapsed on the ground.Matila got up in horror and was about to scream, as she felt a hand grip her body and her mouth covered with another hand.“Scream and I will snap your neck.” Icarus said.The maid, still shook in horror, but held her nerves.“I do not have much time and certainly not going to repeat myself, so listen carefully. I am here on a mission. Lucky for you, the mission does not require your death. In fact, you are more useful to me alive than dead. Now, If you promise not to scream, I am going to take my hand of my mouth. Nod your head if you agree.”Matila agreed in compliance. Icarus released his hand over his mouth and her body, not allowing her to turn. The maid was shaking in horror trying to control her tears.“Take this,” Icarus said as he placed a vial in her hand, “You will go in the tent and put this in Prince Izsak's drink. This isn't poison, you won't be killing him, that is all you need to know. Once that is done you will calmly walk out and stand next to this tree facing the tent. Understood?”“Yes!” Matila replied meekly.“I will be watching you at every minute. I told you I don't need to kill you, but it won't bother me much. The slightest hint I get of you defying my orders and you will an arrow pierce through your heart.”Matila's eyes popped in horror, but she nodded in compliance.“Go now!”Matila wiped the tears of her face and followed his instructions. She asked for permission to enter the tent. When she entered the tent, she found Izsak and Scylla cuddled up to each other on the bed. In the corner of the tent, she saw a small hole in the tent and eyes looking at her.She poured them a drink and silently poured the vial in Izsak's wine, “My Prince, the finest wine from Spart,” she said presenting him the wine. The prince not bothered to take his eyes from princes Scylla for even a moment grabbed the glass and began sipping the wine.“Is there anything else I can do?”“That is all Matila, thank you!” Scylla responded.Matila walked out of the tent and took a bid breathe of air contemplating the act of treason she had just performed. She stood near the tree as instructed waiting for what net would happen.“You've done well,” she heard a voice from behind. She got startled and almost screamed but Icarus gripped her again and covered her mouth.“Remember, no screaming. You've done what was asked of you, and as promised I won't kill you. But you realize you've done something terrible, if you wish to live you need to do exactly what I tell you. Nod if you agree.”Matila nodded.“You will be asked what happened here. You will tell everyone; you were accompanying Princess Scylla to the temple of Kahn when you were attacked by the two guards lying behind you. You saw Prince Izsak take Scylla in his tent and in a few moments heard her scream as these guards were raping you. Understood?”Icarus took the hand off her mouth still holding her by a tight grip. “When you wake up, you will tell the Spartans the last thing you remember was Scylla's screams going silent. Understood?”“When I wake up ?” Matila tried asking just as she felt a small prick in her neck. Before she could feel the pain of something poked in her neck, she felt unconscious and crumbled down in Icarus' arms.As Matila left the tent, Izsak and Scylla were kissing each other, feeling each other's bodies as they were letting out the frustration due to being away from each other.“My love, I have missed you so much,” Scylla said finding difficult to let go off Izsak's lips.“Me too my love, but we don't have to stay separated anymore,” Izsak said.Scylla stopped for a moment, “What do you mean?”“Let's elope, you and I, away from everyone, everything.”“But where would we go? If either of our families find us, it would be the end of us.”“I have thought about it. I have secretly setup a house far east in the city of Leopolis. I have accumulated small wealth and a trade under a different name. We will have to give up our royal lives and live a normal life, with each other.”There was sparkle in Scylla's eyes, “Is this really possible?”“Yes. Neither my father nor Queen Dione would reach that far east. They have no diplomatic relations with Queen Victoria. No one knows us there; we will be safe. But we will not by Prince and Princess anymore.”“I don't care for that, you will always be my King and I want to be your Queen,” Scylla said as she planted a deep passionate kiss.Their tongues were mingling each other as their lips met each other with passion. The thought of them being together had elevated the passion in the moment.Scylla got on top of Izsak as she was kissing him madly. She opened the knots on Izsak's shirt as she continued kissing his neck, his chest and all over his body. Izsak in the heat of passion ripped open her blouse exposing her breasts.“I can't believe after tonight we will be together forever,” Scylla said as she created some separation. She reached down, unbuckled Izsak's britches and pulled it down exposing his erect cock. “Let me show you my gratitude,” Scylla said as she started stroking Izsak's cock.As his cock got fully erect, Scylla proceeded to kiss the tip of his cock, slowly putting her lips on it and gradually moving down on his cock. Izsak leaned his head back soaking in the ecstasy.Izsak looked down to see the beautiful sight of his love, Scylla's head going up and down on his cock. His moans were getting louder as he was hearing the slurping sound of Scylla's lips brushing his cock.Scylla paused and rose up on the bed. She took off the half torn blouse and slipped her dress down to her waist. She moved close to Izsak and planted another deep kiss, positioning herself over Izsak's crotch.“My love, I thought you wanted to wait until our marriage,” Izsak said.“My king, in the eyes of gods, I am already yours. I do not wish to wait for laws of men.”Scylla positioned Izsak's cock at the entrance of her vagina. The nervousness of feeling a cock in her virgin vagina was battling her eagerness to finally make love with the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life.Just as she pushed the tip of the cock in she left out a soft moan, “ah, ”Slowly she continued pushing down halfway down Izsak's penis, slowly moving up and down on it. Izsak patiently enjoyed the moment, waiting for Scylla to take her time. Scylla opened her eyes and looked in the eyes of Izsak.As soon as she felt the love for her, she pushed herself down completely, “ah my gods.” Scylla screamed as she felt all of Izsak's cock pierce through her. She could feel the pain but determined to get past it she continued moving on his cock. Slowly at first, her pain was decreasing, and pleasure was taking its place now.Her cries of pain were now turning into moans of pleasure. She started riding now in pleasure, sensually her body moved now enjoying the carnal pleasure. Her hand, previously resting on Izsak's chest, now moved back as she leaned back pointing her perky nipples towards the sky as she began to ride Izsak's cock in a rhythmic motion.Izsak grabbed Scylla's breasts now, caressing her breasts with both hands as he felt his cock gripped by Scylla's warm and tight vagina. He knew he would not last long in this position.He swiftly got up and turned Scylla putting her on her back. He got on top of her, his cock still inside Scylla. He leaned into her and planted a deep kiss on her lips as he gently began thrusting his hip, moving his cock in and out of Scylla's vagina.Slowly he increased his speed as Scylla could feel the pain and passion mix together as she pierced her nails in Izsak's back leaving marks of passion.Scylla could feel an intense orgasm build up, “My god, ah fuck,” she screamed and moaned as she felt her body taken over by an intense orgasm and felt her soul crumble at the mercy of her love, Izsak.Scylla's moan had pushed Izsak close to orgasm, “My love, I am cumming,” Izsak said as he thrust his hip for one final time as he unloaded all of his cum inside Scylla's vagina. Izsak crashed next to Scylla as Scylla felt Izsak's cum drip out of her vagina.They both were breathing heavy.“I love you, Izsak” Scylla said as she settled into the arms of Izsak, “I will follow you anywhere you take me, until the end of time.”“Scylla,” Izsak mumbled.“Yes, my love.”“I, I am not feeling, well, ” Izsak said as he tried to get up and fumbled again.“What's wrong my love?” Scylla said as she felt confused on what was happening.Izsak was trying to say something but could not put any words together as he could feel the world around him revolving.“What's wrong Izsak? What's happening?” Scylla cried in panic.“Don't worry, he won't be dying. He is just under heavy hallucination.” She heard a voice from behind.As she turned, she saw a tall, strong man in a warrior's attire standing behind her.“Who are you? What have you done to him?” Scylla yelled as she tried grabbed a sword lying next to the bed. She stood in front of Izsak trying to shield the struggling prince pointing her sword at Icarus.“It doesn't matter who I am or what I want. But I do feel you deserve to know; this isn't your fault. I have nothing against you, perhaps if your King and Queen had worked with us, this day wouldn't have come.”Syclla swung Izsak's sword at Icarus. Icarus grabbed, dodged her first swing, and caught her wrist, “I have to do it for my people,” he said as he turned her wrist to stab the sword in her chest pointing towards and her and pulled her into the sword.Izsak saw in horror as he saw his own sword pierce through Scylla's heart as her naked body collapsed on the ground right in front of him. He mustered all his energy to get up an attack Icarus, but knocked down by a single punch by Icarus as he fell unconscious next to Scylla's naked body.To be continued.By wolvie19 for Literotica

//Andrew Lundy | Mark 12:13-37

VOICE-TO-TEXT TRANSLATION. PLEASE EXCUSE ERRORS.To see our own mind clearly without being caught up in its movement to watch thought, without trying to do anything with or about it, simply seeing it and letting it go. This is the way to freedomWelcome to the imperfect Buddhist, where we discussed. Present moment awareness. Applying Zen principles to modern life. My name is Matthew Hawk Mahoney and today's episode is titled Buddhism and screen addiction.Everybody has a smartphone in their pocket. And if they don't, we wonder what's wrong with them.The price of big. Screen TVs. They get bigger and bigger. Every year are getting cheaper and cheaper.New iPhones come out every year with better cameras.They make special blue blocking glasses now to help protect people's eyes from all the screen.Increasingly, I see more and more kids at restaurants with little portable TVs that their parents bring along to help keep them distracted.Five year olds are starting YouTube channelsand eight year olds are starting TikTok.I'm starting to develop a hump on my neck. Bending over to look at screens too much. I used to make fun of my mom when I was 14 years old for the same thing, rubbing her neck saying, mom, how'd you get this thing?Teenagers also have these humps on the back of their necks. A new name is sprouted up for this condition. It's called tech. I have been working from home for a little over a year. This means I'm on the computer for work 40 plus hours a week. I've really found it challenging to maintain a level of mindfulnesswhen I'm looking at the computer. I've really found it challenging , to maintain a level of mindful awareness. I have three monitors. I the laptop screen. On the left side, a computer monitor and on the right side, a computer monitor.  wake up in the mornings and sit at 8:00 AM for about 20 minutes every morning. I try to bring that mindful presence into my Workday. But I notice after looking at the screen for even10 or 15 minutes, this haze kind of comes over my present moment awareness and I'm sucked into. What's going on on the screens. Maybe this is its own form of flow, but I don't really feel aware of what's going on around me as a more spacious awareness. It's a very pointed area of focus, almost like daydream.  I'll tell myself, I'll say, okay, Matt, like, there's not a lot. You can do about the screen time for work right now. But when you get off work, you can not use your phone. You could not play video games or watch TV with your wife. You have a choice there sometimes I'm successful. But a lot of the times I find myself getting off work or taking a moment away.The computer work screens to look at my phone, I'll walk away and sit on the couch for a minute and look at my phone. I noticed this dizzySick feeling, but I still continue to scroll through images on Instagram or look at my friends posts. I'll get a day off on a Saturday, beautiful sunny day. And I'm like, oh man, I have, I don't have to do, I don't have to be on the computer. I don't have to do any of that. What do I wanna do? Oh, I'll play Pokemon. Go for the day and look at my, my phone screen for six hours today while I catch digital Pokemon. It's kind of an addiction at this point. I've been having some success lately with present moment awareness and catching myself. Before I get pulled back into the phone or the computer or the TV. I've had moments where I'll deny. Myself that and leave it off and just sit there and listen to the birds outside and the wind running through the autumn leaves or the dog barking down the street.And I've found moments of peace through this,but this is still a struggle for me. I'm still finding that. At the end of my 40 hour work week on the computer, I still get on the TV and play a video game, or unfortunately, work on music on my computer. I use software called Ableton to record my music. If I wanna do music, that's gonna be done on the computer as well.It's a bit of a challenge for me right now.I brought this up to Cocomo during one of our Sans ends, which is a private meeting with Buddhist teacher. He mentioned to me, he says, if you can catch it before. You pick up the phone turn on the TV or open up the laptop, if you can be with whatever precedes that, like what's the feeling or what's the urge.Can you be with what you're running away from? So what am I running away from when I open up the phone or, , turn on the TV and what I've found lately? Sometimes it's boredom. There's this level of, I want to be distracted from, whatever's not going on in my environment, working from home, it's somewhat sedentary. I wouldn't say I get lonely. I can be pretty lone Wolf and be okay in my own space, in my own head, but I do require a level of stimulation and I think. Working from home. I don't get stimulated. Like I would, if I was working in a more in person environment. And so there's that level of wanting to stimulate my brain and have conversations with different pieces of information out there. Back to the Cocku suggestion, , he said, what are you. Running from, or what's the feeling inside? Are you avoiding a feeling by picking up the technology?  Where is it coming from? I've found multiple things through that practice. I've seen that there's a habitual pattern it's almost built in to grab the phone and look at it, an automatic process. But there are times where I'll actually see this conscious effort I'm making. Avoid something that's going on inside of me or something that I don't wanna think about that I'm avoiding with the.So I am gaining some traction with the technology abuse.Sitting for longer periods in the morning for 20 minutes has helped to kickstart my present moment awareness in the day during work hours, when I'm on the computer, I notice I need to break it up into sessions of. Focused face into the computer screen work and stepping away and taking a breath, looking out the window at the trees or playing with my cat.I've been using a a tomato timer that counts 25 minutes. That 25 minutes is dedicated to focused work. And then five minutes of rest of you can do whatever you want. You could look at your phone, but. As I mentioned, I'm trying to use that five minutes away to just rest my mind.Rest my eyes, look outside, reconnect with the present moment. After that five minutes, the bell rings and I go back to work for another 25 minutes. You do five cycles of that, and then you take a longer rest period. I tend to just go on lunch at that time. And then I come back. If I'm not catching myself before I get sucked into the phone or the TV, I am becoming aware as I'm sucked into it. Maybe not even like, stopping what I'm doing, but just feeling what's happening in my body. Like how my eyes are tight and sore. Maybe I have like a headache and I'm witnessing my thumb, pushing up and up and up on Instagram.seeing that has kind of disgusted me a little bit and turned me off from doing it. In a way that present moment awareness of watching myself do this, it's , oh, wow.So as you can tell, I'm not an expert on screen addiction. I haven't mastered it yet, but I want to go over a couple of the things that have helped me that may be helpful to.Sitting in the mornings before you've had a chance to get pulled into the dailies of life like children or your phone or work email. If you can set aside a time in the mornings to be present and come back to the present moment and cultivate that sense of awareness, that's the biggest help I've. For new habits, you want to attach them to current habits. You have. If you wanna start running for instance, the best way to get this and attach it to your life is to attach it like a Cabo on a train to another habit. So if you want to start running.You decide, okay, I'm gonna run after I brush my teeth every morning. Cuz brushing your teeth is already an established habit in your life. I hope . So you wake. Maybe you brush your teeth first thing in the morning. So you brush your teeth and you say, okay, now it's time to run and you put your shoes on and you go right out the door and you do that enough times.You start to attach that habit to the current habit that you have. It doesn't have to be brushing your teeth. It could be any habit that you have. So for me, I attached my meditation to the end of taking a shower in the morning. I wake up, you know, do my three SS. And I dry off and I, put some clothes on and then I sit down and I meditate and I've been sitting for 20 minutes in the mornings.Some people see really good results with 10 to 12 minutes in the mornings to start.So one of your best friends will be having a consistent time, hopefully in the mornings that you can come sit down and become present. And use the practices that are available, maybe breath, awareness. It could be mindful awareness of your body, the sensations in your body, the environment around you, you could do a mantra practice, which works for a lot of people.Having that time in the morning can be really beneficial. Setting aside a space in your home before that practice is also very helpful. That's a place that you return to. That's quiet that you could maybe make beautiful. You could put up pieces of art or flowers or plants. Or pictures of loved ones, and this can be a place that you can come back to every morning and cultivate awareness and cultivating your sense of aliveness.This present moment , is life. And so you're actually coming back every morning and connecting with life, connecting with the source. When you start that way,It starts you off in a very positive step forward for the rest of your day. I'll meditate for 20 minutes, eat my breakfast and start work. And then I start to get pulled into the screens of the computer and the phone That meditation time in the morning actually helps me to see , oh, okay. I was feeling pretty.Okay. Pretty peaceful. All right. With this moment what's going on inside of me. And now I notice there's this tension, there is a dissolving of presence. I start to notice thatSitting in the mornings and starting off your day with present moment awareness can really help get you on the right track. Now, once you're in your day, taking moments to pause. using that tomato timer where I. I'm just in my work for 25 minutes and then I take five minutes and that's a good time to breathe.Take my eyes off the screens.Be with the animals in my life, or be with the people in my life. Look around, look at actual real colors outside the orange leaves and the blue sky. Hear environmental sounds that aren't produced by a computer speaker or TV. And see if I can come back to that present feeling that I cultivated in the morningThe last suggestion. Which I'm sure you've heard of, but it works for some, and it's worked for me in the past is completely cutting the cord on technology for a set amount of time. That might be all right. Tonight. I am taking the batteries out of my remote controller for my TV, and I have a little box that I've designated as the phone box.And once I put it in there, I don't touch it for this amount of. You just designate little, no technology time zones, it's an experiment and it can be a challenge it may make you wonder what the heck am I gonna do with my time? Cuz I feel that way. I do sometimes my wife and I will play in these little, no technology evenings.And I do feel a loss sometimes. I'm like, well, what am I gonna do? And I'm just sitting around twiddling my thumbs, looking out the window and then I'm like, This is actually kind of nice. And then I lay down and I take a little nap it's actually not so bad. It's not so bad to not have my mind going all the time.And my fingers moving and my eyes staring at a screen.So if screen addiction is something that you are experiencing, you're not alone. I can say that for sure, because I definitely have screen addiction right now.You're not alone, but it's not normal. We did not evolve with these screens that present us with ever more pointed ads and pictures and YouTube videos and content. The content is ever being developed to be more interesting and to pull in our attention more and more.Places like Facebook and YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, they all collect data on what is interesting to us or what pulls our attention for better or for worse.So you're not really being helped by the technology companies. If you feel like you have a screen addiction, they're built that way. Instagram, Facebook, YouTube TikTok. They are quote unquote free. We don't have to pay with money, but we're paying with our life. We're paying with our attention. Our attention is their commodity.So being aware of that, we're like, oh, our attention is pretty damn valuable to them cuz they. Doing pretty good in the world economy. They're making pretty good money. They have a lot of investors . They make their money from our attention and that's fine.It can be very entertaining. So that's something to be aware of when we are being pulled into technology is not only are we driven to it because we wanna avoid something in our life. Something how we feel, we wanna avoid boredom. We want to be stimulated, whatever it is. We also have that technology ever evolving to pull us in more. We do have a challenge in front of us. This is gonna feel a little bit awkward during our podcast, but I want wherever you are, if you're working, if you're working in a customer service job of some sort or working from home or listening to this in your car, I want us for the next three minutes to. Be present and let's see if we cannot look at our phones or any type of technology.So if you're at a computer at work or you're on your phone, flipping through it, while you're listening to this, I would like you to set your phone down or put it in your pocket. I'd like you to step away from the computer and maybe just look out the window. And let's bring our attention back to this moment.I want you to notice, I just want you to notice  whatever jumps out as needing attention in this moment. I want you to see it and witness it. I don't want you to get lost in your head with thinking, but see if you can just bring your attention to this moment. Maybe it's. The way the light breathes moves the green leaves outside of your work window or the way the light shines off your cat.As she naps in the window, the way her body moves when she breathes, or maybe it's the sound of birds playing outside, or maybe it's the sound of a loud truck outside, or some construction going on down the. So let's do this. This is the imperfect Buddhist challenge, So let's start the timer now for three minutes.Ready? Let's be present.So I hope you got something out of.Maybe that's a point. You don't really get anything out of it, but you come into contact with what you already. Which reminds me of a analogy that Eckert toll shared in his book. The power of. Says a baker had been sitting by the side of a road for 30 years. One day a stranger walked by spare some change, mumbled the bagger , mechanically holding out his baseball cap.I have nothing to give. You said the stranger then he asked what's that you're sitting on nothing. Replied the be. Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember ever looked inside, asked the stranger. No said the baker. What's the point. There's nothing in there. Have a look inside.Insisted the stranger, the baker managed to pry open the lid with astonishment, disbelief, and elation. He saw that the box was filled with gold.  I hope you have a wonderful week and gain a little bit of awareness. With your phone and your laptop and your TV? I sure hope I can gain some traction this week too. And I look forward to talking to you soon. Bye bye. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-imperfect-buddhist/donations

War In Ukraine Continues To Increase Likelihood Of Global Food Crisis  According to reporting from The New York Times, the war in Ukraine continues to threaten global food, agriculture, and other vital infrastructure. Farmers in Ukraine are reporting that granaries, farms, and other agriculture-related infrastructure are being destroyed by the Russians, all but halting Ukraine's ability to export food staples. The World Food Programme chief warns that a global food crisis may turn out to be “beyond anything we've seen since World War II.” Nonprofits across the globe should prepare for higher food prices and the second-order effects of a global food crisis, a rare moment where global food markets are being impacted by supply and demand as opposed to external factors affecting access.

In an update, Google announced that starting July 1st, 2023, all Universal Google Analytics accounts will stop pulling in new data from websites. The phasing out of UA is years in the making, but the hard switch will require nonprofits to both export and download historic data as well as migrate over to the new code. Recipients of the Google Ad grant are at risk of losing access unless they migrate accordingly. Read more about the upcoming update here.

We're talking about the continued issues coming from the war in Ukraine, specifically around global food and crisis that could be coming. And some Google analytics updates that that might be annoying to you. [00:00:20] And in general, we're going to be trying to as always bring it back to why this matters for you at your social impact organization. So Nick, how's it going? [00:00:29] It's going? [00:00:29] good, George, how are you? [00:00:30] You know keeping up with the news, keeping up with the work it's, it's been busy here at whole. Well, you know, we just came back from our staff retreat, not too long ago. I, I feel like I'm caught up, but it's tough when you take a little, a little break from the normal. [00:00:46] It is tough agency. Life keeps us busy, but we're back at it again today with the nonprofit newsfeed. And as you alluded to our first story continues to be about the second and third order effects of the war in Ukraine in particular, the increasing likelihood of a global food crisis. So again, from record reporting from the New York times, the word Ukraine continues. [00:01:11] Threatened global food, agriculture and other vital infrastructure farmers are having their greeneries and farm equipment destroyed and lots of other. Facilities and infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia are now offline from the global food markets, the world food program, chief warns that a global food crisis may turn out to be beyond anything we've seen since world war two. [00:01:37] Now the nonprofit take on this is that nonprofits are going to see higher food prices. They're going to see higher gas prices from sanctions, as well as just strains on gas and oil production. And this is a rare moment where global food markets are being impacted by supply and demand as to pose to the more typical factors that we see. [00:02:01] George. I know we want to take this back to nonprofits. If you're and a nonprofit based in America, small, maybe you have a couple staff on your payroll. Why is this important to those organizations? [00:02:13] One, you should be preparing for what the bottom line costs will start to become, especially if you're serving people. In harder to reach areas, working with the world food program, organizing and food. And it's probably already on your radar to be honest, right? We're not telling you anything new. The second thing you should be doing is beginning to fundraise and communicate around this pending can task trophy before, before you're in the moment. [00:02:40] Cause as we know you need the resources now to prepare for later, you need to plant the seeds in the spring to get them in the fall in the same way. I think. That even though you're hearing it here and even in your circles, maybe this is something that is very clearly going to happen. The truth is I'm not seeing it nearly as much in sort of search trends and information, and in general and, and carry it around because you know, a future impending crisis just doesn't get to the front of the paper, the same way that the media disaster and impacts and refugees have, but there is something there's something large coming. [00:03:19] And I think that's an opportunity for your organization to begin that narrative now, to educate first, right, with information, educate your audience about what you see coming from where you sit and what your projected. To then follow up with a preemptive campaign to prepare for what I think we're clearly seeing is going to be a global food crisis and searches for famine sutures searches for food crisis, I anticipate will be going up, but right now there are surprisingly flat. [00:03:50] Absolutely. Great analysis and George, something that we tell our clients is the best time to prepare for breaking news. Is ahead of time and there are ways to do it. We can see things coming, whether it's big political moments in elections, or whether it's this slow burning news story that we will likely see ramp up in the future. [00:04:13] There are things you can do now to prepare for it. And the beneficiaries of many organizations this may be directly affected. And there's lots of different things you can do to prepare for that from the communications and marketing angle to. How you serve communities for example, but I think that's a great analysis. All right. I can take us into our next story. And this is a frustrating one, George one that hits close to home based on my current job description, but Google analytics. Is requiring immediate attention from nonprofits over the next year. The takeaway vests is Google analytics. For those who are unfamiliar is the industry standard web analytics reporting platform. [00:05:01] It's a reporting code. It's a tracking infrastructure. It's a whole system for understanding how people are interacting with your website. Google has been slowly rolling out the updated version of this platform. That's currently called a universal analytics. They are upgrading it to what is being dubbed GA for this has been happening for two years now in molasses level, slow motion. [00:05:29] But just last week, they put out a press statement saying that all universal analytics accounts. So all that historic data, all those accounts, all of universal analytics is going away your data, unless you export and download it going away. That's it's over with. And quite frankly, it's Google anticipating changes in the data privacy and regulatory environment. [00:05:56] But what this means for nonprofits is that you both need to download and store that historic data. And as soon as possible, get the new GA for up and running. So you can start that data collection so that when. Universal analytics goes away. You already have a little bit of runway with historic data to make that transition. [00:06:19] What am I missing, George? [00:06:20] Yeah. I feel like this is a scared, straight program of people panicking, but you're right. What we should note is that you have until July. 2023, July 1st, 20, 23 may seem like over a year away. However, your point about the data continuity stands. If you want to be looking at this time next year, year over year information, you have to make sure that GA for the new instance, GA four is installed, set up and tracking the things that matter to you now. [00:06:49] So you have that overlap. They given a year. Which is, you know, which is great, but they are very serious about this hard cliff and enlarge part because of some of those data, privacy laws and rules that are out there. This may be frustrating. This may be annoying. The other side of this is that if you do nothing, so you're listening to this right now, you park it away. [00:07:08] Like, ah, you know, I'll get to it later. Like one you're gonna be frustrated because you don't have the data year over year that you would probably want for reporting a number two. Is that this could risk your Google ad grant come next year, past July, if you do not have a fully operational and working GA for instance, your analytics tied to, of course your Google ad grant and many times for, for application, maybe they change the rules. [00:07:35] Maybe they change this or app, but this is something that you can't really stick your head in the sand in. And it's something that is, you know, a little bit of work now. And then in terms of the export, you can wait until next year and whole whale will be working. On a lot of different solutions to make it super easy for you to click, click export and at least view some assemblance of historical data as a result of that. [00:07:57] And we're going to create something that is a DIY that people can run with on their own. Later, later this year and into next year, as we get a handle on the real nuance of this, but we bring it up now because it's one of those like not urgent but important. Not urgent, but important things that you should be paying attention to. [00:08:17] Right. [00:08:17] Yeah George, I like the messaging on that. I will also add that if you happen to be listening to this podcast on your unfamiliar with Google analytics, I promise you that your market. Name and your web development team or web developer or vendor, someone who works on your website is familiar. So figure out who that person is, contact them and start thinking about a game plan for acknowledging the shift and George, as you alluded to, we will also be putting out more information and resources in the coming months and year. All right. I can take us into our next story within our summary. And this comes from the nonprofit times@thenonprofittimes.com and the title of the story is libertarians are giving locally, not nationally. And the headline is that 70% of households and Florida. The report making charitable. Charitable donations during 2021 with an average donation of a thousand dollars, but the majority of their giving is focused on nonprofits within the state. [00:09:26] So I think in some ways this is something of a counter narrative to some of the threads we've been pulling about national trends in giving and tent pole, giving Bowman's and giving during political seasons. The data here as reported by the nonprofit time shows that. Local giving is still driving the fundraising landscape and a lot of places in this case with specialty. [00:09:51] Yeah reminder that the giving locally still is very much in play. And if you're a local organization thinking about how your. Framing that ask and saying to make sure that that while there are national interests and where our attention is absolutely being pulled to moments of crisis in Ukraine and beyond that, there is still much of a, an appeal when you come back to local, local impact and local dollars putting to work the top three areas, which was interesting for the average donation amounts in the areas where religion basic needs and health You know, I'd be curious, you know, tried to look for other state by state comparisons, but it's interesting to at least look at one example of Florida in this case. [00:10:34] Absolutely. Yes. I can take us into our next story. And this comes from us news and world report, and the title is inflation hits, non-profits services and ability to fundraise. We have been covering inflation and the downstream effects on nonprofit organizations before, but this is yet another article highlighting the problem with higher prices for nonprofits that quite frankly have very thin margins to operate within and at Highland. [00:11:04] A nonprofit out of Cincinnati, I believe that has been looking for a refrigeration truck to help transport food through its various programs. And they've simply not been able to either afford a new truck or a Ford, a used truck. Of course, the. The automobile manufacturing and auto OBL market in general has seen prices shoot through the roof in the past couple of years with supply chain disruptions. [00:11:32] But just another reminder that this is something that's affecting non-profits, it's not going away. Although recent inflation numbers today, Very high. I think the number was over 8% year over year. A couple of signs in there that the rate of growth of inflation might be slowing. So some cautious optimism that it's not going to go up much higher, but let alone we're still at record high inflation numbers. [00:12:01] So it's something to keep in mind for small organizations which are on the front lines of these prices. [00:12:07] organizations specifically working around housing and food insecurity are, are feeling this a quote from Kelly Kuehn, the CEO, Michigan nonprofit association had this quote that's that's something, any non-profit is experiencing now trying to keep up with requests for higher salaries and wages. Added that passion for the mission. [00:12:27] Won't keep non-profit workers from seeking wages elsewhere. There's a lot of strain on human capital for nonprofits. I think that tension is only going to increase as this year continues and basic cost of living. Salaries just to keep up with the rate of inflation is going to become more and more difficult as, as these compounding factors play in. [00:12:52] And of course the people serving the most vulnerable if they're hit so too, are they they're stable. [00:12:57] Absolutely. All right, George, I'll take us into our next story. And we always look for opportunities to talk about cybersecurity because it's so important and [00:13:06] Actually I want to jump backward. I really, I want to make this more practical. So I had this thought really quickly, right? We're talking about inflation. We talked about it a number of times. Here's here's the take, if you messaging, I think you can use this as a potential narrative to say. While other organizations can raise their prices. [00:13:23] When you click the buy something online, when you buy that cup of coffee and buy that next gallon of gas, that just goes up or down, like they control those prices. We can't turn to our stakeholders. We can't tell somebody that this, you know, this food that we're giving you this week cost this much more. [00:13:40] We serve the community in public good, but we're having a hard time keeping up right now with the cost of living. As we all know. But that work sort of can be put in juxtaposition with what for-profit companies can be doing. And we're seeing, and there's a little bit of angst about they're raising their prices, making more expensive for us, guess who can't raise their prices, our service to each other, our service in housing or service to food insecure. [00:14:02] So maybe that is an opportunity to bring in some narrative as it's it's clearly on people's mind about inflation, but bring it into something that's maybe. [00:14:11] Absolutely. You know, to your point, I think inflation will be an extremely salient political messaging. Angle you're going into November. So everyone's going to be talking about it's it's it's it's the economy stupid, right? That's that's going to be the angle. So you might as well play off of it, right? [00:14:30] Like that's a tangible narrative. People are hearing about all the time and yeah. Being able to. You know, narrate how that's affecting you, I think can really humanize your organization to potential donors and people within, within your. [00:14:48] And the way I think you pulled that is not on a macro hand-wringing level. It is on the micro pick up a canopies. Here's our warehouse. Here's this can of peas. It is going to take us an extra fill in the blank gas, fill in the blank cost to get it from here to there, we solve the last mile. That's what nonprofits are doing. [00:15:08] The last mile of we have the resources. We just have to get them to the people that need it. And that cost of driving of applying and getting it there is what's going up. So find those micro stories to pull out. And I think that'll help, especially Nick. You're right. We're going to hear that word used a lot. [00:15:28] It's going to trend in searches and pieces and you can get, you know, news articles written, but he's going to do it on the micro. How much does it cost to get that canopies this year versus last year versus two years ago, to where it needed to go. [00:15:40] Absolutely. That's the way to do it. Bring it home, make it local. Into, into terms people can understand. I absolutely agree. All right. I can take us into our next story. And this comes from local CBS affiliate channel five K P I X San Francisco bay area. And the article is about a scam, San Francisco, nonprofit falling victim to the costliest form of cyber crime. [00:16:08] And again, this type of cyber crime continues to be business, email compromise. We've heard about flashy ransomware attacks. Nope. Standard email phishing is still the most lucrative. And I think the number in here from the FBI was that in the U S in 2021, approximately $2.4 billion were stolen. Representing a 33% increase from 2021. [00:16:36] It comes to just basic email, phishing scams. That's an absurd amount of money for a very low tech way. You know, stealing monthly. And the story here focuses on a nonprofit, a nonprofit account accounting executive, who was the target of phishing emails that actually the hackers were able to insert themselves into an email chain and essentially siphon off money. [00:17:04] And after running the case to the ground and traveling to the bank and involving the FBI and the police who apparently couldn't do anything, apparently now the secret service is investigating that's beside the point. The point is phishing scams are not going away. They're increasing in frequency, they're increasing in their potency and their ability to extract money out of hardworking Americans. [00:17:27] And non-profits what you need to do to stay safe is a couple of. Two factor, authenticate everything. Make sure you anything involving monthly is extremely secure should not be happening over email. Lots of little things that you can do just to kind of secure your organization. George, are there any other takeaways or any other tips you have for nonprofits? [00:17:54] We have a cybersecurity course, our friends over at round table. Technologies have constant updates about this, but here's the point. I want you to understand how simple this was. If you have a CFO, if you have a chief financial, whatever, if you even have a bookkeeper and I can hack their email by simply saying, Hey, can you send me your password? [00:18:14] Oh, I'm the admin. I'm running an it update. Can you send me this really quickly? And I had send it from something that looks pretty confident. They're busy. Oh, that sure. Here you go. I've been meaning to run this up at. Yeah, no problem. We'll get. If I can get that email password and I can just hack one person on a financial thread in your organization, all it was was this person went into the email. [00:18:34] Client, looked through, found a conversation about who was sending what wires to grants. So they did a search for wire instructions, and then they went and just popped into that thread. Replied. Actually, we just had an update on this wire information. Can you change the routing information to this boom gone? [00:18:50] Like that. So I want you to think about how vulnerable that system is because I'm have high confidence that I could do that for a good percentage of folks. If you gave me a target, I don't want that to sink in for a second. As you consider what you know, oh, the lock our files up. No, no, no, no, no, no. [00:19:08] They're going to do a deep phishing attack and they're going to take your money. It's now hopefully becoming. Part of your, your regular diet of insuring against the, in doing, you know, we don't have the time to go through the amount of things that you should be doing, but there are some basic things that will stop 95% of those types of attacks. [00:19:27] I feel like this is a scared straight program now. [00:19:29] We deliver hard trues on this podcast. Sometimes the truth hurts. [00:19:34] All right. Do we have good news? Do we have a, a field feel better? [00:19:38] George, I got a great one for us. Our feel-good story of the day comes from local CBS affiliate channel 13, w J Z so many letters. CVS out of Baltimore. And this is about Baltimore city partnering with local nonprofit Kaboom exclamation point to ensure that children have access to play space equity at schools and underserved communities. [00:20:05] The nonprofit organization, Kaboom has raised over $250 million to build play spaces and playgrounds for kids in the Baltimore area and over 25 places. And. I think this is really awesome because we like, you know, I'm in New York city, you're in California. We both grew up in cities. It's so important to have those spaces at the benefits of that art immense. [00:20:30] So it was awesome to see a nonprofit stepping up here and making our cities a better place for our children. [00:20:37] I have so much respect for Kaboom. They have been in the game for a very long time. And their model of working with tri-sector partnerships, meaning nonprofit for profit and government is excellent. Their funding models are brilliant. Sometimes they, you know, they work very often with those communities to build those play spaces. [00:20:56] And by the way, you know, just speaking as a parent, like public place spaces, just have. A, just a bastion of sanity of health for, for my kids. I know because, you know, during the pandemic you're locked into four, four walls and maybe no backyard. And I gotta tell you it's it meant the world to have even any access to play spaces. [00:21:18] And so this work more important than ever loved to see Kaboom continuing on. And by the way, take a look at their models. There's a lot of smart things going on at Kaboom. [00:21:27] All right. That's what we have for you, Nick. Thanks as always appreciate your help. Synthesizing all of this news. [00:21:34] Thanks. George, I'll talk to you next week.
