Socks awoke slowly to the sound of rain tapping against the rooftop. Immediately, he pondered whether the rain was even real considering the massive dome that covered the Orchard of Aeternis, but his train of thought was interrupted by the wonderful scent of food wafting from somewhere in the cabin.

Socks rose to a sitting position, diaper squishing under him, and looked around, and his eyes met Remmy's. The other puppy was cooking something savory smelling in a small pot over the fire in the hearth, and his tail was wagging vigorously as he greeted his guest.

"Ah, you're finally awake!" Remmy cheerfully exclaimed. His warm smile was infectious, and Socks felt his own mood lift in response.

Socks rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, still adjusting to the light, and stood. "What smells so good?" He asked.

"My famous oatmeal. It's one of the only things I've eaten for breakfast for the past fifty years or so." Remmy replied. His smile wavered for just a moment. "If there's anything else you want for breakfast starting now, just let me know and I'll handle it!"

Socks nodded in reply, and sank back into his cushiony nest to savor the warmth from his sleeping spot a little longer, imagining what his first full day in Aeternis might be like. Remmy had his own ideas about what was going through the newcomer's mind.

"Are you feeling any better about yesterday, Socks?..."

"Remmy..." They both lowered their gaze away from the other. "I don't really feel like talking about that right now. I'm sorry..."

"No, no. I get it!" Remmy quickly recovered his pep. "We should talk about something nicer, right? How about our diaper change today?"

Socks had almost forgotten, but the mention of a clean diaper immediately brought his mind back to the matter. He was suddenly acutely aware of the state of his rear, and was quite relieved to finally be getting a change.

"When is that?" Socks asked sheepishly.

"It shouldn't be much-"

A crash of thunder resounded the cottage, shaking the foundation. In the midst of the sudden noise, the front door swung open to reveal the graceful feline form of Master Elyssa. She strode into the room with an air of absolute authority, and Socks shrank under her gaze.

"Good morning to you both." She began. Her cool attitude was completely unaffected by the storm outside. "I've come to check on the well-being of our new addition."

Socks should have been panicking, but there was something entrancing about the tall woman as she approached him. The bauble on his collar grew warmer the closer she got to him.

"I must apologize for my rudeness yesterday. You see, I was called away suddenly by other matters that demanded my immediate attention." She said, then glanced at Remmy. "You needn't have shown him the garden in my stead, but I am pleased by your initiative."

"Thank you Master. I do only that which eases your many burdens." Remmy was quick to answer. His mood had completely changed since Master Elyssa arrived.

She again fixed her gaze on Socks and knelt down to his level as he stood in response to meet her face-to-face. The way she looked at him, up and down, over and over, it seemed as if she was evaluating him somehow.

"You have decided to call yourself 'Socks', is that correct?" She asked. Her eyes were now locked with his.

Socks glanced suddenly at Remmy, who stood at attention behind the towering woman.

"Oh! Of course. My Remmy is always so eager to meet the new servants. It was he who gave you this name. Was it not?" She grinned, knowingly.

"Y-yes, Master Elyssa. My name is Socks." He stated without much affect. Socks wanted nothing more than to scream in her face. It was all her fault that he couldn't remember his old name. And who knew what else he had forgotten without knowing? How can you remember what you forgot if you couldn't remember what you'd forgotten!

"Good boy." She answered. Her hand was now caressing his cheek gently. Socks shuddered as her touch sent shivers through his body, and his anger and frustration at her melted away. "The name suits you, my dear."

"Thank you Master." Socks moaned. An involuntary, but wide, smile broke across his muzzle. The warmth radiating from his collar was apparent to all, its runic patterns glowing in the presence of the Master.

"You've been through a lot. Perhaps it's time we got you changed, hmm?" She said, producing a fresh diaper with a wave of her hand from thin air beside her.

Socks nodded dumbly, ready to comply with her every order. Awaiting him nearby was an appropriately furnished changing table, and he made his way to it promptly He climbed up onto the changing surface and laid on his back. His body felt lighter than air as the effects of the enchanted collar continued suppressing his free will. Master Elyssa took her place beside the table and placed a gentle hand upon his chest. 

"As I told you before, I demand absolute loyalty from my servants." She said, glaring down at him with foul intent. Her demeanor had changed from a loving caregiver to a domineering slave driver in an instant. She moved her hand from his chest to rest upon the front of his diaper, then uttered yet another strange incantation.

"Pannus recludes."

Where before, the diaper was seamless with seemingly no way to remove it; it now splayed open at its creator's command. The front of the diaper lowered itself in front of Socks's crotch, revealing the hefty mess he'd made inside. Despite his addled mental state, Socks still managed a blush at this indignity.

"You first diaper change of many." She said, cleaning him up. "Now, there is one matter to attend to before sealing your new diaper on."

Remmy flinched at the implication. He'd meant to take care of this himself at some point, but Master Elyssa took the initiative first it seemed. It was all he could do to lower his eyes and try not to make himself a target of her wrath.

In the blink of an eye, Master Elyssa materialized a strange metal device over Socks's penis, locking it away from any outside stimulation. She then sealed his fresh diaper with another command, leaving the poor pup bewildered at his new accessory's purpose.

"An enchanted chastity cage, just for you." She taunted down at her servant, rubbing his chest sensually. "Only loyal and obedient servants have the privilege of orgasms in their dirty little diapers."

"Mmph... Master Elyssa... Why?"

Master Elyssa leaned down, getting face-to-face with Socks once again, smiling. "I can read you like an open book, you know. Even your very thoughts are mine to peruse.  Maybe next time, you will think better of plotting to escape me..."

Socks stared up at her, a look of pure horror plastered on his face. Her sinister smile grew in return.

"You believe that there still must be some way to escape, but I can assure you, there is not. Once you realize this: once you give up on this childish notion, then, and only then I will release you from this curse. And if you ever lie to me again, you shall live out your eternal fate in the Infernal Garden!"

Tears began forming in Socks's eyes, and he started sobbing. His body shook as he lay there helpless, the full weight of his fate finally settling upon him. He looked just like an overgrown toddler throwing a tantrum.

Master Elyssa sighed and turned to her other servant, "Remmy, you may comfort him."

Remmy rushed to Socks's side and held him tightly. "It's okay. You'll be alright..." He whispered, petting Socks's head.

Master Elyssa turned up her nose and snorted at the pathetic scene before her. She had seen this same scenario play out countless times before, and she knew that it was only a matter of time before Socks fully embraced his role as a helpless, eternally diapered servant.

She had all the time in the world to wait, after all.
