It was a special day during this month. Today was the Day of Completion where the Creator Gods and Goddesses, among which were Ssylphiel\u2019s ancestors, had finished their labors in creating the universe. This was signified by the sun first rising at its peak. It became the signature day of freedom for all races when they escaped the yoke of oppression. Right now, the Order of Hissteria was enjoying the fact that they all chose to serve their Goddess. They were all relaxing on the pool deck in the upper levels of the palace. The pool was big enough for a harem five times the size of Ssylphiel\u2019s to still have elbow room. It was a shallow pool magical adaptive floors so all races big and small could have fun. Nora, Sanliel, Shannon, and Beth were cuddling up to one another while dipping their feet into the pool. They were in full pool-side harem gear, hair flowers and skirt-style bikinis. \u201cMy, my, my,\u201d purred Beth as the rays of the sun hit her tummy, \u201csuch a beautiful day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m imagining,\u201d said Shannon, \u201cthat I\u2019m at Nora\u2019s Tavern\u2026with a mug of ale in one hand, some good mutton in the other, and propping my feet up near the fireplace after a hard day\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnly\u2026ye\u2019ve never done a hard day\u2019s work!\u201d joked Nora. The four of them laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Say, where\u2019s Ssylphiel?\u201d asked Sanliel. \u201cShe\u2019s usually here whenever this day rolls around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe sure is taking her sweet time,\u201d remarked Beth. She then smelled something. \u201c\u2026That\u2019s beef cooking,\u201d she said. \u201c\u2026And there\u2019s hot dogs too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe grill!\u201d realized Shannon. \u201cShe\u2019s at the grill!\u201d The four of them headed to where the grill usually sits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought this place has staff for the kitchens,\u201d remarked Nora, being the newest addition to the Order of Hissteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, but sometimes Mistress needs to flex her own cooking muscles,\u201d replied Beth. \u201cIt\u2019s just that she\u2019s good at a particular kind of cooking.\u201d They arrived to see Ssylphiel in just an apron that said \u201cWorship the Cook\u201d at the grill, cooking burgers and hot dogs as Beth predicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that one of those magic aprons, Mistress?\u201d asked Nora. Ssylphiel turned to see the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt sure is, Darling Nora,\u201d confirmed the Divine Naga. \u201cNo matter where it may end up on my exposed flesh, I can\u2019t get any splash damage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo you can cook?\u201d asked Nora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn a grill, yes. I\u2019m sure Shannon can tell you about the disaster that was last Winter Solstice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, good grief! That ham was nothing more than leather!\u201d complained Shannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs you can see, Nora,\u201d continued Ssylphiel, \u201cI cannot use a stove or oven to save my life. But a grill? That\u2019s a different story. Seriously, you give me any animal, and I mean ANY creature that my Creator Ancestors and their colleagues put in this world and I\u2019ll grill it. \u2026Hells, I\u2019ll grill you if you\u2019re not careful. Now!\u201d Ssylphiel then put the finished hot dogs and burgers on a plate and revealed a table full of buns, chips, sodas, and other finger foods. \u201cWho\u2019s hungry?\u201d she asked as she clicked the tongs. To make a long story short, everyone was!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
