Meeting between Divines
"Sure you don't want me to come with you Vryn?" asks Tarkyth as the man glances over at her.
The man is one of Arthryn's favourite traders, a good man with a loyal and principled attitude to life and one of her more devout worshippers. While he doesn't stand out to most, he has impressed Arthryn enough that he has managed to make a friend of Vryn.
"I will be fine," answers Arthryn, "It is just a private meeting with a Forluc priest and a Daughter of Urthryn regarding potential cross-border ties. I won't be in any danger and the business is complicated enough that I don't want to burden you with it."
"Well Vryn, you got a good head on your shoulders," replies Tarkyth with a shake of his head, "If you say that you got this, I guess you got this. But Arthryn's Guidance, I just don't feel comfortable leaving you like this. Just promise me you'll keep safe in there."
"By the Mother, I will see you later Tarkyth," says Arthryn, "I will even join you in private if you wish."
"You are going to let me reach your summit?" replies Tarkyth, "Arthryn's Bountiful Bosom, I'll take you up on that."
Arthryn gives him a smile before turning and heading off towards the old hut, one of the older buildings from before the fall of Caermyr to the Forluc.
While she wasn't quite lying to Tarkyth about who she was meeting, Arthryn wasn't honest either. While she is technically meeting a Forluc priest and a Daughter of Urthryn, it is actually Nalnir and Urthryn possessing the body of one of their followers. Unlike her, neither of them have figured out to maintain their own corporeal body and are limited to borrowing a body of one of their blessed. Well, either they don't know how or they lack the ability to do so. Arthryn hasn't had enough interact with other deities outside her own family have a good idea of how similar foreign deities are to her and her daughters.
Out of sight of Tarkyth and anyone else, Arthryn switches to her divine form as business like this calls for her to represent herself as Arthryn, Goddess of the Arthwyd. Her body becomes taller, curvier and more muscular and her clothing adjusts itself to fit her new form as well as it did her old one.
Entering the hut, Arthryn finds herself mildly surprised at who awaits her. While Urthryn is as she expected, Nalnir has decided to go against her expectations. Then again, she doesn't know Nalnir as well as she knows Urthryn and Arthryn doesn't know Urthryn all too well either.
Urthryn is in the body of one of her Daughters, a young black haired maiden with red eyes. Wearing gem-stone studded jewellery, the Forester goddess wears a leather skirt and a pair of shoes, but is otherwise free of clothing with her large chest freely displayed like most Daughters of Urthryn.
While Arthryn expected Nalnir to take the body of a male follower to attend this meeting, the Forluc god has instead chosen a woman. Judging by her mountains equalling the ones that Urthryn has, her literally black skin and her youthful appearance, the woman is the great-granddaughter or granddaughter of King Eredan. Arthryn also notes that her attire is quite odd as well as the woman is wearing only gold with golden bracelets, necklaces and even a golden skirt.
Outfits like that must be why the Forluc are buying so much gold from Arthwydish traders like Tarkyth.
"Greetings Arthryn," says Urthryn as both of them look up at Arthryn as she enters.
"Hello," replies Arthryn curtly, taking her place at the table as she ignores Nalnir's ogling and not bothering to inquire after his choice in bodies, "I hope I am not too late. My ride here was delayed and I didn't deem this meeting to be important enough to break my cover just to avoid arriving a little late."
"No problem," says Nalnir gruffly, "Urthryn and I were discussing our night together."
"But we can put that conversation on hold now that you are here," says Urthryn as Arthryn gives Nalnir a disapproving look, "We came here to discuss our future interactions between us and our followers."
"Alright," says Arthryn, "My followers are mine and that takes priority. I will not let them be enslaved or otherwise suffer at the hands of others with any transgressions being suitability punished."
"Just so we are clear Nal, she isn't joking," says Urthryn quickly before anyone else can say something, "Take it from someone who has experienced first hand, you do not want to mess with Arthryn and her followers. It isn't worth it."
"And what if some of her people also happen to be some of our people?" asks Nalnir as he and Arthryn eye each other.
"Then they are my people and my previous stances applies to all of my people, including those that might be of your people or anyone else's," answers Arthryn firmly.
"Let us establish this straight up so we are all on the same tree," cuts in Urthryn before Nalnir can respond to Arthryn, "Just as the Arthwyd are the uncontested dominant power in the region, Arthryn is the uncontested dominant deity in the region. Not only is she more powerful than either one of us, but she also has her Daughters backing her up. What she says regarding her people goes because she has both the power and the willingness to back it up."
"Blah," grunts Nalnir, "She can have her people. They are more trouble than they are worth."
"Okay, that is the main goal of this meeting done so let us discuss the last important details," says Urthryn before turning her attention to Arthryn, "While I understand that you no reason to like me, I would like to know how you added breast support into your divine blessing. For reasons I think should be obvious enough, I would like to incorporate into my own blessing. In exchange, I am willing you show how I added birth control into my divine blessing and teach you how to add it to yours."
"I am open to that," admits Arthryn after a moment's thought and wondering just how Urth of all people ended up being the diplomatic one here.
"Hey, what about Zaranna?" demands Nalnir, earning himself disdainful from both Arthryn and Urthryn, "We need to discuss how we are going to deal with that cow."
"I have not had any problems with Zaranna," says Arthryn, "Her followers do not cause trouble for mine and the goddess herself is no match for myself nor any of my daughters. You may seek to deal with her between yourselves, but I see no reason to pick a fight with her myself."
"We can talk about that later in our private talk," Urthryn tells Nalnir when it looks like the Forluc god is about yell at Arthryn, "For now, we should discuss what knowledge we are willing to share with each other and what agreements are to be made between us."
"Just what are you planning to talk about latter?" asks Arthryn, suspicious of what the other deities are up so as while she thought they were just going to fornicate with each other, she isn't so sure anymore.
"It is why I am using this body," answers Nalnir with a grin, not hesitating to gloat, "Urthryn and I are planning to see how our blessings interact with each other. She wants to try applying to her Gift to a woman with my Blessing so I am going to let her do this one after she has slept with me."
"Barbarians," mutters Arthryn, annoyed at their casual disregard for the Forluc woman's choices and wishes.
"I thought you Northern Demons like to sleep around," says Urthryn coyly.
"There is a difference between sleeping with who you want and selling out your body," retorts Arthryn, "But this is irrelevant. You said you wanted to exchange breast support in exchange for birth control? Let us talk about that..."
