💍 Reservoir Boys

In the world of Yunia, there is a unique connection between physical flexibility and the mystical realms. This strange bond can be traced back to ancient times when circuses first began to travel the land, bringing with them displays of incredible acrobatic feats and seemingly impossible stunts.

It was not until centuries later that mages would come to realize just how significant these spectacles truly were...

For many years, countless mages attempted to devise ways to combat the various evil spirits that plagued Yunia – beings from other dimensions who sought to corrupt the minds and bodies of its inhabitants. From depression and anger to sickness and chaos caused by animated objects, these malevolent entities wreaked havoc across the landscape, driving people into despair.

Something peculiar was observed during this time. It seemed that wherever a traveling circus went, negative phenomena tended to disappear or lose much of their potency... As if drawn away by some unseen force, they simply vanished into thin air in the presence of these colorful performers who entertained crowds with their mind-blowing contortions.

This led mages to investigate further, seeking out those skilled in the arts of body manipulation to learn more about this mysterious correlation.

After extensive research and numerous experiments, they discovered that there was indeed a powerful energy hidden within the act of contortion itself.

When one bent the spine in certain ways, such as sitting on his own head, folding the backbone completely in half, or twisting the torso around at great angles, an unusual surge of positive energy could be felt flowing through the body.

It quickly became apparent that this strange power had the potential to drive away even the most powerful evil spirits if taken to even greater extremes...

Thus, bendy mages began exploring ever more complex poses and positions, pushing their flexibility beyond what was previously believed possible for humans.

In doing so, they unlocked new levels of magical potential hidden deep within themselves, allowing them to harness these forces and use them to protect Yunia from the darkness lurking just beyond the veil of perception.

However, it soon became apparent that this positive energy dissipated relatively quickly after the stretching session ended. This meant that any attempts to fight off evil entities were limited by how long a bendy mage could maintain their position before becoming exhausted...

Luckily, help soon came from wandering gypsies – nomadic people known for their incredible suppleness and belly-dancing skills. To achieve amazing pillow-like softness in their midsections, many of them practiced wearing extremely tight corsets around their waists for many hours a day.

This not only allowed them to perform breathtaking snake-like movements that made it seem as if their bodies had no bones but also made them strangely perceptive of energies invisible to others...

The gypsies who had particularly honed their skills in waist constriction, were known to possess extraordinary sensitivity towards spiritual forces, as well as fortune-telling abilities unmatched by ordinary mortals.

They shared their knowledge with the mages, revealing how they managed to preserve the magic gained during meditation sessions throughout the day.

By donning tight corsets between their contortion sessions, bendy mages transformed their bodies into long-term reservoirs for powerful energies.

Some chose to wear simple laces or thin rings around their waists, while others opted for more elaborate constructions such as tubes that elongated their spines, making the spinal discs even more flexible and elastic.

The combination of contortion and constriction was remarkably symbiotic. Extreme corsetry and belting softened up the body, allowing for truly breathtaking demonstrations of flexibility. In turn, these acts of incredible bending, twisting, and folding served to create a softer abdomen and a thinner waist.

Some legendary practitioners of this art reached such a level of suppleness in their torsos that it appeared as though their bodies should tear apart during their feats – yet magically, they remained intact.

As the darkness continued to grow and threaten Yunia, bendy mages found themselves struggling against increasingly powerful adversaries. The techniques became so advanced that few mages possessed the skillset to bend their bodies beyond imagination while simultaneously constraining their waists for optimal energy storage.

Fortunately, visionary scholars came up with a solution that allowed to store magical energy in the bodies of those who weren't necessarily mages but had dedicated their lives to waist-cinching.

In each village, talented young men would take up this calling, training tirelessly in the art of waist constriction to achieve maximum suppleness in their torsos, so when the need arose, they could provide extra storage for magical energies.

These "reservoir boys" often took positions at local temples, always prepared to offer their support in times of crisis and helping the mages to create greater spells.

Today, bendy mages play an integral role in society, both feared and respected for their strange abilities and odd appearance.

Some still choose to remain hidden, practicing their art secretly away from prying eyes, protecting this world from the shadows. While others openly offer their services to villages, cities, and kingdoms, forming official guilds and schools where they teach younger mages about harnessing positive energies and healing those afflicted by evil spirits.

Throughout Yunia, countless bendy mages work tirelessly to preserve the balance between good and evil, wielding arcane powers hidden deep within their bendy bones. Their magic flows through their wasped waists like liquid fire, ready to be unleashed whenever danger threatens the world's harmony.
