Episode 10

Yahen woke up in a strange bed. Fright gripped his heart as he didn't remember leaving Goddess Dawher's chamber. He remembered eating the best Bison meat he'd ever tasted and felt the buzz from the Yuzu ale, but that was all. He lay on his back and heard soft snoring to his right. The thought of who it could have been terrified him.
Dawher stirred. She placed an arm over his chest. He was nude. "Did you sleep well, my Love?"
The pounding in his heart was thunderous.
Dawher smiled. "Your heart, my Love. I can feel it. Is it the love you have for me?"
Yahen relaxed. He remembered. They made love last night, though it should be the Goddess Dawher who made love to him. He was unable to move. "Yes, Goddess," he said softly.
"Good, because I have something I want to give you."
Panic crept in. "Yes, Goddess?"
"You are strong now, but I can make you stronger. More powerful than Kajana -- that is if you want that."
Stronger than Kajana. Anger welled up to the surface of his mind. Hatred for the woman that stripped him of his dignity and his party mates. They betrayed him, but that could be forgiven -- in time. But his hatred for Kajana outweighed everything. He wanted to beat her. Not just in abilities. "That is what I want." And, in saying that he knew he damned his soul to a Goddess.
"That is good to hear, my Love." She rang her fingers across his chest. "I have a quest for you."
Yahen stiffed. He knew he should be honored that Goddess Dawher took an interest in him. He longed to be loved by one of the Goddesses, but he would have rather it be on his terms, in his bed, with him on top.
She rang her fingers along his arm and kissed him on his neck. "The quest will require someone special. Someone with special skills. Someone I can trust and who would be honored to have my trust."
"Yes, Goddess."
She whispered in his ear. "Is that someone you, Yahen, my lovely warrior of great power?"
He forced himself to smile. He thought he should feel honored.
"Do this for me and I will grant you Command nytes."
There it was. The one thing that would give him the power. Command nytes. He would be favored.
She moved on top of him and lightly kissed his lips. "My lovely warrior." She kissed him harder.
He endured. He convinced himself this was what he wanted. The love of a Goddess who would grant him further power. He was favored by a Goddess. Not his Goddess, but the next best thing. The second Goddess. Not his Goddess, but a Goddess nonetheless. He was favored. But, not by his Goddess. He was not favored, but this was his means to revenge. He would feel favored later, now he had to just endure.

Emperor Nutiho sat on his throne. He had dark brown skin, blonde hair, and brown eyes. He was dressed in white leather pants and a tunic, with black dragon skin ankle boots. The crown on his head was gold with a middle ring of silver. Quarter-sized red sapphire round stones dotted around the middle section of the crown. The throne was made of dense Trent and its opulence of gold and silver trim, studded with diamond and red and yellow sapphire disturbed his need for minimalism, but as the ruler of the southeast part of the Region, he needed to show his divine authority. He was the Emperor of Radus, a land rich in minerals and fruits like Cherries, Quince, Pears, and, Elderberries. Radus exported mostly wines and jams, and imported grains and eggs. It was a land that worshipped Radus, the God-King that created all life. Today, he was to meet with an Emissary from a land that worshipped the Mother Goddess. His people were proud and saw no need to include another deity. Radus was enough for the land of one million.
Empress Ohitin, the First Sister-Wife, walked into the assembly area. She was slim with pale skin and light brown hair. Her eyes were almond-shaped and light gold. Her Brother-Husband sat on his throne looking uncomfortable as usual. She sat on a throne on his right. It was smaller, but just as bejeweled as his. "Brother, what bothers you so?" Nutiho turned. "The Emissary from the Northern Region is set to visit sometime today. They want to talk trade." "And, you will consider it?" "We shall see. Their brand of Goddess fanatism spoils what could possibly be traded. Their Elven Ale is enticing --" "Oh, that yummy beverage --" He nodded, "Precisely. But we shall see."
