Lover's Day in the Divine Realms

Kyprioth sat in the Realms of the Gods, pondering. Pondering about who exactly he was going to the Lover's Day ball with next week. I can't go with my sister, the Great Goddess, for she always goes with Mithros. And the Graveyard Hag always goes alone. She for sure would not be covinced other wise. The only goddess left was...WAIT! What about Lavarna, the Goddess of love? She's just had a fight with Gainel, who usually went with her. But how can I ask her...

The next day, Kyprioth payed a visit to the Copper Isles. There, he spoke to his favorite little spy.

"The gods have a Lover's Day ball? Really?" Aly asked, amazed. They sat in her office, doors locked.

"Of course," Kyprioth replied. He sighed. "Where do you think you got Lover's Day?"

"I don't really know. I'd never really thought about it. I just thought it was some random day an ancient king made up."

"No. Mithros decided, many hundreds of years ago, that Lavarna, the Goddess of Love, deserved a day in which Love would be celebrated. He had a celebration, as did the Great Goddess, and so he decided that he would start having celebrations for the other Great Gods. But so far, only Lavarna has a 'day'. We started to celebrate, and the immortals brought the custom from the Divine Realms to the Living Realms. Now, the only god that doesn't come to the annual Lover's Day ball is Uusoae. Even the four Horse-Lords come. It's a wonderful celebration. And I go with someone different every year."

"Then why are you here? Shouldn't you be swindling someone into going with you?" Aly asked, a grin on her face. Surely he didn't need her help. Wasn't he cunning enough without her?

"Well, I want to go with Lavarna, but, you see, she's a bit... Well, she's had to talk to. I mean, for a male. And, I was thinking, as you are one of my few female friends, that you could ask her?"

Aly kept a strait face on the outside, but inside she LAUGHED! Kyprioth needed her to ask a goddess if she would go to the Lover's ball with him? Ha! Of course she would do it. Kyprioth was her friend, as confusing as he may be. But him having girl trouble...

This was beyond belief. "Well..." she said slowly. Kyprioth looked at her, with a mighty pitiful look on his face. She smiled. "Of course. Who else would do it for a trickster god like you?"
