This is my first Story. I want to thank justoneguy since I borrowed some props from his story The Correction of Justin Thomas. I hope you enjoy it.

Ben had known for a long time this day would come. He was reminded of it every day when he took a shower or was otherwise naked and felt the brand on his crotch, right on top of the base of his cock. At first he had been afraid his pubic hair wouldn’t grow back. But he was given a special cream which repaired some of the damaged cells. He still had that brand though.

He had gotten the call early in the morning. It was his dad.

“It’s time”- He just said.

Ben knew what he meant. He was now twenty-one years old, away from home at college. After school he left as far as he could go. Once word spread around he was one of the chosen ones a normal life was impossible for him back home . No girl would ever want to be with him, knowing the risks.

In his bed, Ben looked over his shoulders to Kiara. Kiara had been his girlfriend for the past year. She didn’t know anything about Ben’s destiny or his family. She just knew she loved him. Ben loved her too. But it had come the time to say goodbye. Ben was relieved she hadn’t woken up when his father had called.

He stood up and put on a pair of tight white boxer briefs. He didn’t need to pack, and he knew he’d be prepared for the ceremony once home. He wouldn’t have to worry about anything else for the rest of his life. Today was the last day of him as a young average man.

It was spring, so he just put on a T-Shirt and a sweater. Then he put on his favorite pair of jeans. Kiara loved them, saying they were very tight fitting around his gorgeous bubble bum. Ben had been a track and field athlete. So he had a good lean but muscular body.

He wrote Keira a note. He didn’t want to lie to her, but also could not tell her the truth. He almost did, the time she first gave him a blow-job and saw his brand. He just told her it was a birth mark and brushed it off.

“I have to go. I’m sorry. I love you, forget about me.”-The note said.

Ben took a taxi to the airport and five long hours later he was walking towards his dad’s car, having just arrived in his home town.

His dad hugged him when he arrived and then they both headed for the car without saying much. Ben’s dad noticed how adult his son had gotten since he last so him. Ben was a handsome man, blond, a three day shade on his face. Ben noticed how apprehensive his dad seemed. He was usually a lot funnier, always making jokes and horsing around. Of course he knew his dad must have been proud. It was a great honor to serve the church. And there was no greater service than this.

In the car, he saw his mom. She hugged him too. In her eyes Ben could see she had being crying.

“Where is Tom?”- Ben asked, inquiring about his little brother.

“He’ll meet us later for the ceremony”- His dad answered.

From the airport it was a short ride to the temple. Ben remembered it all too well. It had been here six years ago that his destiny had been sealed. Of course he didn’t know it then and even now, he tried not to remember.

The three of them entered the temple through a side door. They climbed down some stairs to the basement and arrived at what looked like a doctor’s office. Ben knew it had to be here.

“Good morning John, Susan. I see you brought Ben”- Father John said. He was the same tall man with feminine features and long hands Ben remembered.

“Yes here we are”-Ben’s father said.

Behind Father John was Doctor Petersen. Ben remembered him too. Six years ago he had been there too.

Then they had brought him here, telling him Father John wanted to talk to him. As a fifteen-year old Ben trusted Father John and loved and respected the church. He had been brought to the same room he was now. Both of his parents had been there. That’s when he met doctor Petersen. Father John told Ben all about how his body was changing and he was now becoming a man. Ben felt slightly uncomfortable. He had noticed the changes himself a few years ago and had been masturbating a lot. Father John then introduced doctor Petersen, who then explained he was there to conduct a physical on him.

It stroked Ben as odd, especially with both his mom and his dad being in the room. But both his parents and Father John said it was ok. Ben sat on the doctor’s table, while Father John and his parents waited seated on the other side of the room. Ben removed his shirt when the doctor asked him to. After he was finished checking his eyes, neck, and chest, doctor Petersen asked Ben to remove his jeans. Ben looked nervously at his dad.

“It’s ok Ben, don’t worry”- His dad said. Ben trusted his dad.

Ben took off his jeans and stood in front of the table just in his tight white boxer-briefs. He was asked to lie down on his back, which he did. Doctor Petersen then began to probe his abs. Ben had been on the track team for ages, so that he had developed a nice six-pack. The boy wasn’t bad looking, even back then. He had developed a nice set of abs and a strong pair of legs. Also his bubble butt was muscular even back then. Ben almost jumped when the doctor pulled down his underwear a bit, showing his pubes.

“Relax, I’m looking for any swelling”- the doctor said.

“Ok Ben, now I need you to stand up, drop your shorts and go to the scale for me please”

Ben was horrified. He didn’t want his parents and father John to see him naked. He couldn’t remember the last time his parents had seen him like that before. It was embarrassing enough for them to see him in his tight undies and now this.

“Don’t worry Ben, there’s nothing your parents and I haven’t seen before. You seem to be a fit young man so just don’t worry about it”- Father John said, winking at Ben.

Ben thought that better to get through with it quickly. So, in one quick move he pulled down his shorts and cupped his genitals with both his hands. He then walked to the scale.

“Ok, height is normal, weight is adequate too”- the doctor said looking at the scale. Ben’s face was red from embarrassment thinking how the three adults in the room had a fool view of his bubble bum.

“Now Ben. I know this is embarrassing for you, but it need not too. I’m going to ask you to sit in that chair and relax”- the doctor said pointing a kind of reclining dentist chair with stirrups.

Ben was again less than happy to comply, but he guessed he didn’t have a choice. He was a docile kind of kid, always getting along with the adults pretty well, so it didn’t came natural to him to protest. He walked towards the chair and sat his bare ass on it, all the while holding his hands firmly in front of his cock and balls.

The doctor grabbed Ben’s legs one by one and put them on the stirrups and then fastened them to it with tight leather straps. Ben was uneasy now. He felt completely exposed, since in that position his asshole was open for everyone to see. The doctor then lifted both of Ben’s arms and bound them tightly over his head with similar leather straps. Ben was freaking out right now. He was completely exposed. The doctor and everyone else in the room got a first look at the boy’s flaccid penis. He had a fair amount of blonde pubic hair and a soft dick of around 3.5 inches, not bad, considering he was still going to grow.

“I know this is strange. But in our church, this is the process of becoming a man. Stay still”- Doctor Petersen said as he fitted a mouth gag on Ben. The boy was freaking out right now, but it was too late for him to do anything. The doctor began applying shaving cream to his armpits, treasure trail, crotch and asshole. Not that there were many hairs there in the first place. He then took a razor and began to shave off the boy’s hair. Ben was afraid of getting cut, so he stayed still the whole time. Once he had finished shaving the boy, the doctor whipped him clean with a hot towel. He marveled at the results of his job. The boy now looked a lot younger without his hair, except for his teenage-sized cock, which had gotten half-hard during the shaving. Ben was aware of that and was deeply embarrassed. The doctor then put on a third strap around the boy’s belly, further hindering Ben’s movements on the chair.

Then something happened, that made Ben dread the moment even more. Father John and both of his parents approached the chair. Now they had all front row seats to Ben’s humiliation. Doctor Petersen began to massage Ben’s ballsack, feeling each of the boy’s testicles and pressing them lightly, which made Ben grunt in pain through his mouth gag. Once the doctor made sure everything was ok, he put on a pair of disposable gloves and lubed his fingers. He then proceeded to start massaging the entrance to Ben’s hole. Ben almost gasped when he felt the doctor’s finger feeling his hole. It wasn’t long before the doctor had one finger in. It felt strange to Ben. It didn’t hurt him, but wasn’t comfortable either.

Ben was horrified that his cock was responding in a way he hadn’t expected. He had grown to its full size now.

“Good we can now measure that up”-the doctor said. Father John then took a measuring tape and grabbed the boy’s hard-on.

“6.5 inches”- he said. Not a bad number considering he was still growing.

Ben was utterly embarrassed, not only was he having a hard-on and being probed in front of his parents, but now his dick was being measured.

“Now for the great finish”-the doctor said, and with that he pushed his finger further in and began to rub Ben’s prostate. Ben felt a warm feeling going from his ass to his dick and began to moan as white juice began to flow out of his penis.

Ben’s chest was moving heavily up and down from the orgasm he had just had. It had probably been one of the strongest in his young life. The doctor then cleaned him up and took a sample of the boy’s semen.

“It all seems to be fine with this boy. I think we can continue”- the doctor said. With that Ben’s parents and father John held hands and began a prayer, while doctor Petersen took again a hold of young Ben’s softening penis. He then pulled Ben’s foreskin as far back as it could go and placed a metallic bell over the boy’s glands. The doctor then let the skin roll over the bell. He then placed a metallic clamp over the boy’s penis, tightening it and cutting the blood flow to the foreskin. Ben was in pain right now, not knowing what the doctor was doing with his penis and confused by his parents inaction. Doctor Petersen then pulled out a scalpel and began to cut off Ben’s foreskin. Ben wanted to scream. It was extremely painful.

“Don’t worry, we’ll be done soon”-the doctor said as he finished removing the skin and throwing it away. He then removed the clamp and the bell and put some stitches on his dick.

“Now you are a man”-Father John said, while he and Ben’s father put their hands on the boy’s shoulders. Tears were running from Ben’s eyes. What had happened to him? What was this all about? Why had the people he trusted allowed this to happen? He thought to himself.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t over for Ben. As the doctor began washing his hands Father John fell to the floor and began to convulse. Ben’s dad tried to help and didn’t understand what was going on. Soon after Father John stood up and looking directly at Ben’s parents said.

“Joy to you and your family! I have had a vision! Your son Ben is to be an oracle priest!”

Ben didn’t understand what was going on. He was in too much pain to even listen to what Father John was saying. Ben’s mom began to cry and Ben’s father just held her and looked over at his son, who was still very naked tied to the chair.

“We accept the church’s will”-was all Ben’s dad was able to say, with tears beginning to roll from his eyes.

Doctor Petersen, who had left after hearing Father John’s epiphany, came back with a heated Iron. It was fairly small and had a symbol Ben recognized as being the Church’s.

“This will hurt boy, but be brave. You have being chosen”-the doctor said and with that he pushed the iron on Ben’s skin, placing the brand just over the base of the boy’s penis. Ben screamed through his gag as he had never before and passed out shortly, since the pain was too great.

The next thing Ben remembered was waking up in his bed at home. He was naked except for a medical band covering his penis. He saw the awful brand on his crotch and began to scream. His parents arrived and tried to console him. They told him, that he was now a man. In the eyes of the church a man had to be circumcised, that’s why they had brought him to doctor Petersen.

“You’ll heal soon enough and you’ll love your new look”- Ben’s dad said.

“What about this horrible thing?”- Ben asked pointing at the still disfigured brand.

“You, my boy have a special destiny”- Ben’s mom said.

That had been it. Six years ago. Now Ben was in that room again, waiting for his destiny to be fulfilled.

“Hello Ben”- Doctor Petersen said- “Boy, you’ve grown a lot since the last time we met”

“Yes, it’s been six years. I’m twenty-one now”- Ben said, trying to remain calm.

“Of course you are. Now we need to discharge your parents of the vow they made to bring you back when the time was right”- Father John said looking over at Ben’s parents.

The parents of a chosen one were liable to deliver him when the time was right. With the destiny that awaited Ben, it wasn’t unheard of that a chosen one had run away. Ben thought about running away too, around the time he found out what was going to happen. But he just couldn’t do that to his parents. He knew it would be a disaster for them to be banned from the community and the church they so much loved.

“Ben, please take off your clothes”- Father John said in a loving yet stern tone.

“Here we go”-Ben thought to himself. It had been six years since these people had seen him naked and a lot had changed in that time. Back then Ben was a developing teen, now he was a grown up man.

Ben took off his size 10 sneakers and socks, and then proceeded to pull off his sweater and T-shirt with one quick move, revealing his mouth-watering abs and strong hairy chest, much more developed than six years ago. He had also developed strong biceps from lifting weights at the college gym. Ben’s dad couldn’t help but feel sorry for his son, thinking how all of that would be gone in a couple of months.

Ben then began to fumble with his jeans. Finally he dropped and stepped out of them. He was now just wearing his tight fitting white boxer-briefs. His bubble butt was still there, if anything it had become more muscular, as were his legs. Doctor Petersen was getting hard watching the muscular young man in front of him. He appreciated how well Ben seemed to fit his underwear and the large bulge he was making in them. Ben hesitated now about dropping his underwear. It seemed strange to him, having to be naked in front of other adults. He had been naked in front of other people before, in the showers at school and at the gym, in front of the many girls he had slept with. But this time it was different.

“Come on Ben, we have been in this situation before, remember?”- Father John said with a grin.

Ben just sighed and dropped his underwear. All almost gasped when they saw the massive tool Ben was packing. Although still soft it was well over four inches long. It was obvious doctor Petersen had done a great job when he circumcised him six years ago. Ben’s pinkish cock-head was massive, pulling down the rest of Ben’s massive shaft. It looked almost like a hammer. In fact Ben’s nickname in the track team at college had been the hammer, as most of his team mates knew him from the showers after practice. His circumcision scar was high and the two shades of skin were clearly visible. It was obvious too that Ben had a fading all-body tan. Father John and Ben’s parents chuckled at it. Ben had been with his girlfriend Kiara at a beach resort in Mexico and had gotten a suite with a terrace, where they spent many hours lying around naked. Ben had first uncomfortable at first, but since Kiara knew about his brand, he dropped his concerns along with his trousers.

“You’ve gotten a lot hairier over the years”-Doctor Petersen said, marveling at the sight in front of him.

“Yes, I didn’t like to shave that much”-Ben answered. Once he found out what the consequences of his destiny were for his body, he decided not to shave, in order to enjoy being a man as long as possible.

“Please, sit on the chair”- Doctor Petersen said pointing at a barber’s chair, to his right.

Ben walked calmly towards it, his low hanging balls dangling between his legs as he moved. He sat his bare ass on it, not bothering to cover his genitals this time. Doctor Petersen grabbed both of his arms and bound them tight over his head. He then proceeded to tie his legs to the chair’s legs.

“I’m going to shave you now Ben, so please remain still”-the doctor said as he began applying shaving cream over Ben’s face, armpits, chest, treasure trail, pubes and ball sack. Ben didn’t move. He knew this was the procedure. He just wished his parents weren’t there to watch it all, seeing him naked in his full glory. The doctor was soon done with shaving Ben and removed the remaining hair and cream with a hot towel.

The young man really looked different without his body hair. He now looked younger, but with a huge dick and impressive balls. In fact his dick now looked larger without the pubic hair partially covering it. Without his beard his boyish face came to view. They could now all see Ben’s brand on top of the base of his penis.

“Now we can confirm you are one of the chosen ones and we can continue”-Father John said.

Ben kept looking at the brand. It had healed a lot in the last six years, so that it was now the clean and recognizable church emblem. His parents, now teary eyed waved and said goodbye, avoiding looking directly at their son’s brown eyes. The last time they’d see him as a complete man. They left for the temple upstairs to find their younger son and wait for the ceremony with the other parishioners.

Now Ben was alone with Father John and Doctor Petersen. The doctor unfastened Ben and asked him to stand and walk to the scale.

“Height 5’8’’, weight 155 lbs. Ok, now stay still I’m going to measure your waist: 29 inches”- Doctor Petersen said. Ben was then asked what he feared all the time.

“Ben we need you to get hard to make the last measurements”- the doctor said, his eyes fixed on Ben’s crotch.

Ben knew this was coming, in order to keep up with his development later on. He sat on the doctor’s table, closed his eyes and started jerking his cock. He was nervous and uncomfortable but still managed to jerk it to its full size. The doctor then approached Ben with a measuring tape, savoring at the sight of such huge man meat. But Ben grabbed the measuring tape from his hand and placed it on his cock himself. He was getting angry at the whole situation and had picked up that the doctor was enjoying seeing him like that.

“About eight inches”-Ben said matter-of-factly

The doctor was disappointed he hadn’t gotten the chance to touch that, but he was a professional. He knew he would get his revenge later.

“Good, now please if you can put your elbows on the table and bend over. We’ll be over soon”- Father John said, clearly enjoying the whole show.

Ben couldn’t believe that after everything that had happened and was going to happen to him, he still respected Father John. He turned around and did as told.

“Stay still”-the doctor said as he was applying shaving cream on Ben’s now exposed asshole. He finished shaving the few hairs on it and grabbed an enema bag and rectal nozzle.

“This will be uncomfortable. But we’ll have to do it a couple of times to be sure”-the doctor said as he inserted the nozzle up Ben’s ass. Ben flinched when the doctor did that and found it uncomfortable when his belly filled up with water. He then was allowed to go to the nearby bathroom and shit. The procedure was repeated four times until the doctor was satisfied. Doctor Petersen knew that two times were enough, but he wanted to get back at the boy for grabbing the measuring tape from him earlier. Ben was exhausted.

Ben was given a cream to apply all over his body. It would make him glisten with the lights on the temple’s center stage, showing every one of the boy’s strong muscles. Then Father John applied a special glittering cream to Ben’s brand, so that it stood out from his body. Both men, Father John and Doctor Petersen, admired the work they had done. The boy was almost ready.

Father John then took out a long narrow piece of white cloth and instructed Ben to put it around his butt and tie it in front of his genitals. The cloth barely covered Ben’s muscular butt, but the knot in front of his dick made a good job at keeping it covered. Well at least now that it was soft, and he didn’t have any pubic hair. Still Father John pulled the knot down a bit, almost to the base of Ben’s penis, so that his brand was visible, but his genitals barely not.

“This is it, are you ready?”-Father John said as he opened the door towards some stairs

Ben nodded and began to climb the stairs

.

The stage was circular at the center of the temple. All around it, adult members of the community were seated. All circumcised men above 15 years old and all girls who had already gotten their periods. The only exemption being Ben’s younger brother Tom, who was 14 years old at the time. He was allowed to participate, since he was a family member. It was a big event.

This particular one had started with the death of the Oracle Priest Joshua the day before. The number of Oracle Priests had to be the same all the time, so that there were some chosen ones, like Ben, in some communities waiting to take their place in case of death. Being an Oracle Priest was a great honor for his family, but it required the ultimate sacrifice. Ben’s family was seated on the first row. But not very far away everyone Ben had known throughout his childhood in this community had taken their seats. Ben’s best friends from school, Ben’s first girlfriend, even some of his old high school teachers were there.

In the center of the stage there was a large metal bar about waste high, covered with a soft leather cushion. On one side it had metal food restraints. On the other side there is a large metallic pole with hooks. And finally below the rail there was a glass funnel.

Ben was shocked by the amount of people out there. He was even more shocked when he realized how close those in the front row were going to be to the action, and how many known faces were up there.

After Father John had announced his name, Ben finished climbing the stairs and reached the stage. The crowd was very respectful but applauded when Ben appeared. Most of his old classmates and teachers, who hadn’t seen him since he went to college where amazed by the specimen of the man in front of them. The blond young man was glistening in the light, his every muscle showing and glowing. Ben was paraded around the stage. Those close to it couldn’t help but notice Ben’s strong thighs and muscular butt, barely covered by the piece of cloth he was wearing; some could even make out his cock and balls flopping against his thighs as he walked. As he was being walked around Father John, read his name and his stats. People giggled when they heard how big he was down there. Once they had walked one time in circle Father John stopped Ben and made him face the crowd.

“As you can see, this young man is the chosen one”-Father John said pointing to Ben’s now glittering brand-“Ben, are you ready?”

“Yes”- Ben said nervously. This was real now, Ben thought. He had gone through this moment many times since he found out about what was going to happen, so he really thought he was ready. But it still was different, with all these people staring at him.

Ben was instructed to lean over the rail and place his knees on the restraints. Then he bent over the rail and stretched his arms forward over his head. Father John secured his arms at wrists to the leather bands on the metallic pole. Ben’s arms were now tightly unmovable. Ben then, as instructed, lifted first one leg and then the other into the restraints, pressing his knees as much forward against the soft leather pads. Father John then secured the foot restraints in place. Finally, with Ben in position he adjusted the back leather restraint across Ben’s lower back and secured it tightly.

Ben felt pretty exposed at this moment. He couldn’t say he was uncomfortable, since the tight grip of the bounds kept everything in place. The crowd was mesmerized by the sight of this astonishing young man, taking his destiny.

Father John pressed a button and the rail elevated itself several inches. Ben was secured to the rails, his legs spread apart, bent at the knees and no part of his body was touching the floor. With one quick move Father John then pulled off the cloth which had been barely covering Ben’s genitals. Now he really was completely exposed. His balls and penis now free, swinging from side to side from the movement as they were exposed.

It was the first time most of the crowd had seen the twenty-one year old young man naked. And what a man he was. His huge balls hanging in his tightly shaved sack. And that long soft dick with the mesmerizing ping mushroom head, hanging like a sausage from Ben’s hairless crotch. Some of the guys in the room couldn’t help but rub their crotches at the sight of such man-meat. Tom, who had never seen his older brother naked, was in awe of how big he was. He had a first row seat, with a great view of Ben’s spread butt and his hanging balls.

Father John then grabbed a low stool, sat on it and placed himself behind Ben’s butt. He buried his face in Ben’s ass and began to lick his asshole. Ben was surprised by it. He had never had anyone do anything like this to him before. In fact, after his circumcision he had never had anyone stick anything up his ass before. It was a warm highly sexual feeling. Father John was definitely a pro, getting deeper and deeper with his tongue inside Ben’s ass. Ben couldn’t help it and started to breathe heavily. His dick began to grow slowly.

Ben’s family didn’t know what to feel about the whole situation. There it was in front of them a beautiful specimen of a man being pleasured, which naturally turned them on. But on the other hand this man was a family member, a son and a brother, and he was probably being pleasured for the last time.

Not long after, Father John began to stick a lubed finger up Ben’s asshole with one hand and grabbed the base of Ben’s penis with his other, also lubed, hand. Now Ben began to moan slowly. He was ashamed of having this most intimate of bodily functions in front of a large crowd of people who knew him. But still, nature got over him and he couldn’t resist the waves of pleasure he was getting. Meanwhile Father John had managed to push three fingers up Ben’s ass, stretching the boy’s hole.

Ben thought he wasn’t going to take it much longer and began to moan a little louder. He wanted to prolong this as long as possible, since he knew this was the last time he was going to cum. His big fat cock was rock hard at its eight inches and was dripping precum, which all the viewers in the first rows were able to see. Then Father John pulled the three fingers out and stopped jerking Ben, sensing he was about to cum. Ben felt a little relieved since he knew it was all over when he came. But it didn’t last long, Father John then just pushed one finger inside his hole and starting probing his way in, kind of looking for something; with his free hand he grabbed Ben’s shaft and pointed his engorged cock at the glass funnel in front of him. Suddenly Ben felt almost an electric shock coming from his ass to his balls and cock. Father John had found Ben’s prostate and was massaging it now. The pleasure was so great that Ben began to moan loudly and felt cum coming from his balls through his penis.

Ben’s white juice came in droves out of his piss hole while he was grunting loudly and breathing heavily. Father John’s steady hand directed most of the cum to the glass funnel on the floor. “This is it”-Father John said quietly enough for only those in the first row and Ben to hear him.

Father John took his hand out of the Ben’s asshole and picked up the glass funnel with Ben’s cum in it. He raised it and said:

“The chosen one has cummed. His last time as a man among us!”- The crowd applauded. Tears began to run down Ben’s mom’s face.

Ben was still tightly fastened and breathing heavily. His large cock was now softening and his balls were now hanging lower again after they contracted when he came. His whole body covered in sweat, his face red from exhaustion.

“Now I’ll ask Doctor Petersen to complete the process of transforming this young man into an Oracle Priest”-Father John said pointing at the doctor, who was now standing next to him.

Ben knew it was over and began to panic. There wasn’t really much he could do, and there wasn’t any point in screaming right now. That would just embarrass his family, but he was angry and afraid, very afraid.

Doctor Peterson picked a pair of elastrator pliers with an extremely tight latex ring over it. He held it high, so that everyone could see. He then sat on the stool Father John had sat before and placed himself behind Ben’s Butt, with clear access to the young man’s genitals. With his free hand he massaged Ben’s sack, making sure both testicles were low inside the scrotum. Once he was sure of it he whispered to Ben.

“This is going to be very painful, but you have to be strong”- and with that he placed the ring on the base of Ben’s scrotum. Ben gave a loud howl that frightened everyone in the room. The ring was extremely tight and Ben could feel how it was crushing the cords and blood vessels inside his scrotum.

“Ohhhhhhh! No, make it stop! Please, make it stop!”- Ben screamed at the top of his lungs, tears flowing from his eyes.

Those seated in the front rows could now see how Ben’s ball sack was now swelling and slowly turning blue. It wouldn’t be long before it’d turn black and fall off. The latex ring was cutting the blood flow to Ben’s sack, killing his testicles along with it.

Ben continued to scream for a while. But after about ten minutes he stopped feeling anything at all. His balls were dead. When he realized that he just started crying inconsolably. After about an hour, in which no one moved or said a word, his ball sack fell on to the floor and Ben passed out.

The crowd then sang a song for the newly emasculated Oracle Priest and began to leave the temple. Ben was brought down from his bounds by Father John, Doctor Petersen and his Father. They covered him with a blanket and took him to the doctor’s office downstairs, where the doctor made some stitches, sedated Ben and made sure everything had gone well.

Half an hour later some priests from the Oracle Seminary arrived and took the still sleeping Ben away, to his new life as an emasculated Oracle Priest.
