She stood in the ritual chamber the next evening waiting for the moon to rise. She slept the prior night and spent the day with Elaine and the other priestesses taking part in the ritual. Swapping her sleep schedule had left her feeling somewhat anxious and she was looking forward to getting this batch of men out of the way so she could soak in the bath again. Victoria fidgeted, she was the youngest of the priestesses taking part in the ritual at only twenty-two years old and was responsible for holding the offering bowl. She was a mousey young woman with stringy brown hair, bright hazel eyes, and pale white skin. The other priestess she’d met was Lilly who was tall and willowy with blue eyes and black hair. She was the high priestess's aide and, according to her own words, was nothing more than a glorified gofer. She was currently chatting with the eunuchs who seemed to be rather cheerful about the whole situation. The other two people in the room were Elaine and the high priestess, Elaine was fussing over the wooden structure inspecting it closely to make sure everything was still in order, though she’d already done that several times, and the high priestess simply stood back and watched everyone in the room while she waited for the moon to rise. Nox picked up the razor and examined it again noticing that despite the heavy use she’d put it through the day before there wasn’t a single blemish on the blade.

“I still can’t believe a bronze razor is sharper and more durable than my dwarven knife,” she said. 

“That my child is the power of the goddess’s blessing,” the high priestess replied. 

Nox nodded and looked over the razor for a few more moments before placing it next to the pliers. 

“It’s time, go get the first man of the night,” the high priestess said a few minutes later. 

The eunuchs left the room quickly heading towards the rooms where the men were being kept. According to Elaine, the temple didn’t have cells and simply locked the men in small rooms in the back of the dormitory. The eunuchs returned with a man who was simply being held by the arms and had a resigned look on his face. They brought him to the wooden structure and strapped him down before stepping away to let her work. She took the tool and slid his cock though her touch caused him to stiffen. She ignored his growing erection and placed the jaws of the tool over the base of his scrotum and squeezed them shut fastening the latch and turning the screw. His member swelled so much that it pushed hard against the sides of the cutout causing veins its veins to bulge out. The tighter she made the jaws the harder he seemed to get, soon precum dripped from the head of his penis onto the floor. Finally, when she tightened it enough to feel the soft crunch indicating that the tool had done its job the man bucked against the straps and shot a huge load all over the floor. He bucked a few more times and more semen dripped out before finally stopping. She picked up the razor and severed his manhood before dumping his male organs into the offering bowl and tossing his sack into the sticky mess he’d made. Elaine healed him and Nox removed the tool placing it back on the tray before moving away so that the eunuchs could unstrap him. When they had removed him from the room Victoria edged over to her.

“Is that normal?” She asked. 

“Yes, though more often in nonhumans,” Nox replied. 

The next man was brought into the room and strapped down. She crouched down and looked between his legs finding a nub of a penis and a tiny scrotum that was pulled tight against his body. She took the tool in one hand and used her other hand to manipulate his scrotum trying to get his testicles away from his body. As she worked his nub of a penis got hard expanding until it was around the size of the tip of her thumb, though a bit bigger around, she ignored it and kept working at his scrotum until she got both of his testicles between her fingers where she fed them through the jaws of the tool. His penis was so short she didn’t need to push it through the cutout and simply clamped down on the base of his scrotum and latched the tool. It didn’t take much pressure before she felt the crush and when she did the man screamed. She paid him no mind and removed his minuscule testicles with the razor as she had with the other sets. Elaine healed him and he was taken away quickly, Lilly walked over and looked into the offering bowl then smirked.

“What a pathetic set of balls,” she said. 

“The goddess cares not for their size child,” the high priestess replied. 

“Yes mother,” Lilly said. 

“But you are correct he wasn’t much of a man,” the high priestess added.

The prestresses laughed but Nox didn’t.

“Oh come on master Nox it was a little funny,” Lilly said. 

“It was so great, ha, ha, tell me another,” Nox replied. 

“Everyone’s a critic,” the high priestess said. 

This time everyone laughed.

“So master Nox what was your opinion of that man’s balls?” The high priestess asked. 

“They were on the small side, but he was able to get hard which means they worked. So I’d say they were a perfected acceptable set,” Nox replied. 

“Well, you are the expert master Nox so we’ll have to take your word for it,” the high priestess said. 

“Thank you, ma’am,” Nox replied. 

The next man arrived a few minutes later and Nox was surprised to find that he was missing his penis. After the eunuchs had strapped the man down, she crouched and examined him more closely. The scar was dug down into his body some suggesting whoever had cut it off had pulled it roughly from his body first, luckily for the man there was a small hole allowing him to urinate though. She knew that if it had scarred over completely, he’d have died of a ruptured bladder. She picked up the tool and put it right against the base of his scrotum and latched it shut. 

*Talk about unlucky first he gets his cock cut off and now I’m going to geld him.* 

She screwed the jaws tight and then sliced off his balls with the razor dumping them next to the others in the offering bowl. The man had a big pair, they dwarfed the other two sets she’d already cut that day by far. He was healed and taken away now having a smooth crotch. The rest of the men were nothing special and she gelded them quickly adding their male organs to the offering bowl. When the last one was taken from the room the high priestess took the bowl from Victoria and they left the ritual chamber heading back out into the main room where she stood in front of the statue and said a prayer before dumping the contents of the bowl into the larger one in front of the statue. With that finished the second day was done and they left the main chamber. They went to clean up and get some food before she headed to the room she had been provided for the night. She undressed and folded her clothing neatly placing it on the table so it wouldn’t get wrinkled before laying on the bed hoping to sleep. After about an hour she rolled over and stared at the roof wide awake. 

“Dammit!” She said. 

She rolled around a few more times before falling asleep. There was a loud knock on her door and she jumped out of bed and rushed over to answer it. She pulled the door open to find Lilly standing there with wide eyes. 

“What!?” Nox asked. 

“The high priestess needs to see you!” Lilly replied. 

Nox moved to walk out of the room, but Lilly got in her way.

“You should probably get dressed first,” she said. 

Nox looked down and realized she was still naked, but she was in such a bad mood from her poor night’s sleep she didn’t really care. She sighed and turned around, snatching her clothing up and getting dressed quickly. She walked back over to the door and walked out of it following Lilly as she scurried towards the high priestess’s office. When they arrived, Lilly knocked on the door and then opened it when the high priestess told them to come in. When Nox walked into the room, she found the old woman sitting with a handsome young man wearing imperial guard armor. He stood up and bowed his head when he saw her. 

“I apologies for the interruption Master Nox but the hall of justice requires your services,” he said. 

“What happened?” Nox asked. 

“We caught the gang of rapists that were plaguing the river district and they were sentenced to public castration,” he replied. 

“I’m currently participating in Eratona’s winter ritual I can’t just up and leave,” Nox said. 

“It will only take a few hours Master Nox,” he replied. 

She rubbed her temples hoping to get the headache that was starting to go away.

“What do you say Ma’am?” Nox asked. 

“It sounds like an important task and so long as you’re back before the moon rises, I don’t mind,” the high priestess replied. 

Nox took a deep breath.

“Let me get my cloak,” she said.
