There were more than two dozen Drow that were in the beds that lined the room. Riza and Kiras where tired after awakening so many beings. All of the nobles of house Do'Urden were finished and they'd started working on the soldiers.

Nadia walked over to Riza with the help of one of the kobolds. The kobold assisted the newly awakened Imperial setting her down next to her deity.

"I'm surprised that you can function," Riza placed her arm around the young Drow and hugged her. "Let alone stand."

Nadia was still covered in sweat and she was overheated due to her awakening that had only happened a few hours ago, yet she was on her feet, with some assistance. She nodded in thanks to the kobold who had waved to her in return before leaving the three beings. Nadia glomped onto Riza pressing her wet face into Riza's chest.

Riza smiled and patted her new patron's moist head. Nadia's white waist length hair stuck to her back but Riza didn't mind, she stroked the girls back a few times before going back to patting her head.

I love you Riza, Nadia thought making both Riza and Kiras smile and chuckle.

Oh, that's right you can hear my thoughts, Nadia held onto Riza a bit tighter getting the demoness wet and sticky in the process but Riza held onto her anyway.

Nadia was the youngest de'trai of Malice's sri'na. She was only twenty years old so not yet old enough to be sent to Lolth's school of brainwashing. Riza was thankful that this young Drow woman didn't go through that hellish academy and now that she had taken Riza on as her own personal deity Riza was going to make damned sure that she would never set foot in that fraking place.

Kiras wrung her hands before flicking her fingers letting the sweat fly, after they were reasonably dry she also leaned against Riza's right shoulder while the Drow Elf who worshiped the demoness occupied her left. Kiras smiled at the two before closing her eyes.

"You know what Riza," Kiras whispered.

"What," Riza turned her head toward Kiras. "Kiras?"

"I'm actually really glad we came here," Kiras bashfully admitted. "I mean where else would you find a being id'rthic enough to worship you?"

"Oh," Riza gently elbowed Kiras who chuckled. "Frak off."

"Only if V is involved," Kiras sarcastically replied, making Riza go wide eyed before she laughed.

Riza wrapped her right arm around Kiras while she stroked her naked sweat soaked adopted de'tari with her left. Soon she was sandwiched between two soundly sleeping elves.

"How does Eendril do it," Riza thought of the Grand God of Light. "He's got zillions of kids and I have only one and,—" she glanced at Kiras who's head had fallen onto her right navree while Nadia's head was occupying her left. "—a demigoddess sri'na." She looked up at the stone ceiling.

Not easy is it Riza, Eendril's telepathic reply made Riza's eyes widen, she didn't move because she didn't want to disturb her sleeping ilonis.

"But I'm no goddess," Riza quietly and worriedly replied. "I'm only a Meserino Demon I have no idea how to deal with worshipers!"

She felt Eendril laugh. Don't worry you may be a Meserino Demon, but you still have a good heart so I'm sure that you'll do just fine as her goddess.

Riza smiled, I sure hope so, Nadia is the first being who has ever asked me to become her goddess and in all honesty I don't really know if I want to be… I mean just thinking about it is terrifying! And I only have one being you have so many… how do you do it Eendril?

Eendril went silent for a moment. I've actually delegated most of the responsibilities to my oldest son… I mean dar'tari.

Poor J, Riza closed her eyes and frowned. Getting shafted by big daddy E…

Isn't that the way that Chaos wants his kid's to address him. Eendril seemed to be both a bit hurt and happy.

Riza stifled a laugh when she felt Eendril's amusement. Yea, if Chaos is big daddy C then your big daddy E! Riza thought a moment. Or perhaps you're bigger daddy E, you are Chaos's uch'nara after all. Riza reopened her eyes when Eendril actually laughed at her comment.

Again Riza continued after Eendril had calmed down. I really do feel bad… or perhaps sorry for Jehovah…Riza closed her eyes in confusion. J still goes by that name right?

Eendril made Riza's hart feel warm which made her smile. Telling me without really telling me is that your game Eendril? Or big daddy E?

Riza rolled her eyes when the warmth she felt spread. She frowned again when she looked down at the two elves clinging to her. Compared to you I guess having to look after one sri'na and one de'tari won't be so hard.

Just trust your heart and you'll be fine, Eendril's silent reply comforted her. And you'll be seeing your husband soon so he will also help you out.

Riza's mouth hung agape. Are you serious Eendril, Visage is coming here? Are you sure? I thought he was in your ber'nan's universe… umm… Vernon wasn't it? How is he going to get here and when? She was excited and was eagerly awaiting Eendril's answer.

Actually he's been there for a while I've already informed him that he should wait until you need him before he seeks you out and…Eendril seemed to sigh. It wasn't my fault this time but he has a few more wives now.

Riza scrunched up her face with worry.

You don't have to worry about them, they aren't with him, they're still in Vernon's universe he stumbled through a temporal rift while saving two of them and he ended up there. From what Ao has told me the Silvarian has been on that planet for a while and Ao really doesn't want to mess with him, he also doesn't want to let him go either. It is quite a conundrum. I have heard that he has already saved a few lives while he was there, but they don't know about the endangered species act that I had Emperor Barren introduce in the Firaxian Galaxy but…

Riza was now upset and impatient. But what?

I'm afraid that they've fallen in love or iloni with him anyway…Eendril paused for a moment to let Riza cool off a bit. Though they haven't told him yet, he's been really busy mining mithril with the deep gnomes and yes, Visage and his newest acquisitions have actually been assisting them.

Riza took a deep breath. One thing Eendril, do the new wives of V's all have good hearts? Riza's patience was making her both worried and angry. He wouldn't marry any being that didn't have a good heart! He's much too smart for that! No, wait is there another reason why Eendril hasn't answered?

Yes, Eendril seemed to be rather hesitant when he did answer. I'm afraid that all of the hearts of the women he married in Vernon's universe actually surpass yours Riza

Riza relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh good and here I thought that he might have married a being like Chirras."

Eendril was a bit shocked by Riza's reaction; then again he should have expected it because she was a Meserino Demoness after all. Eendril didn't want to really upset her but there was one more thing he needed to tell her before Ao cut their connection. Even though Eendril could easily force another connection with one of his adopted de'taries at any time he really didn't want to spark another war with a god in a different universe over something so petty.

Riza, Eendril began again with a bit more urgency making Riza stiffen up a bit. This time this story is yours and Kiras's to complete Visage will be one of your support characters but he isn't the main one this time.

Riza closed her eyes in order to try and comprehend what Eendril had just said. "Kiras and I are the main characters in this story…She quietly muttered. "What the frak does that mean? And V is here but he's busy mining for mithril." Riza gently squeezed Nadia and Kiras before she kissed the tops of their still damp heads. "At least I know that V is safe…" She gave a fang filled smile to the darkness around her. "Now I'm really interested in meeting the wives V made while he was away in Vernon's universe!"
