Sunlight drifted into the open windows of the temple, forcing Lalsini awake for yet another day of being the high priestess to Yva. She lay there for just a few more blissful minutes, letting the sun warm her massive body. Many would have thought that the luxurious and pampered lifestyle of the high priestess must get boring after so many years, and indeed there were times where it was for Lalsini, but all in all, it was worth it.
She rolled over and let her hand drift over the edge of her bed to scratch the head of her beloved Ajax. The handsome black leopard yawned sleepily and arched his back as his mistress continued to scratch. "Mm, good morning, my love," she yawned sleepily.
He rubbed his head tenderly on the edge of her belly, which was spilling over the side of her bed. It felt warm and tickled a bit. He was always so affectionate.
Presently, Valendra, her eldest daughter came in to greet her with breakfast, or rather the feast that constituted as breakfast, for her. Lalsini had sixteen daughters to be exact, and her eldest three already had children of their own. Of course, she had had a few sons here or there, and three of them had been paired off well with only the best women in the village. Yes, Yva had blessed her with an incredible brood, though she was still young; there was time to have perhaps a couple more. She had proved a very fertile priestess over the years, easily able to conceive twins and once triplets. A few more little feet running around would be nice.
Looking at the grand spread before her, there was no doubt that the Dew-Drop Forest had indeed been blessed by the goddess. Biting into one of the succulent fruits offered to her, Lalsini relished her job as being the physical embodiment of the wealth of the land and her people. Certainly, she was that physical embodiment. She was a large, rotund woman, most of the weight settling in her round, doughy belly. Twenty-some children and eating like a queen every day will do that to a person. That however, had not excused the rest of her body. A good portion of her weight laid in her enormous breasts, and she was not unaware of the thickening of her thighs. She found her double chin simply beautiful. Truly, she was the physical form of excess and fertility, her people expected her to be.
"Oh, Valendra, you should join me," Lalsini said, remembering her manners. "I couldn't possibly eat all this by myself."
As her eldest, and as all her daughters lived with her and were treated just as well in the temple, Valendra was by no means small. Though, she was half her mother's age, more or less, meaning she was only half her size. She was a rather plump young woman, though now bordering on fat, and her mother just adored her beautiful round face. "I think you could," she said coyly to her mother, "but it does look good."
"That's the spirit," her mother said as Valendra joined her. "Where's Diomedes?"
She was referring to the lion companion who was never far from her daughter. He was a suitable mate, when she selected him for her eldest; powerful, protective, and not to bad on the eyes either. "He's watching the kids," she replied, scratching behind Ajax's ear. The leopard purred.
The sun was well past up when she finally finished eating, and Lalsini sat back to rub her full stomach. Ajax only too eagerly rushed to kneed her belly with his large paws. "Oh, you are so good to me," she purred. She fingered the jade charm on her necklace which contained Ajax's human spirit. She was really tempted to have a little early morning delights with him.
Much as she loved this moment, it did not excuse her from the rest of her duties as high priestess. After a few minutes to let herself digest, she rolled back and forth a bit to get the momentum to stand and waddle to her main chambers where she held audiences with the villagers. Some of her fellow women would come to voice minor complaints, or she would hear from their fairy messengers. As always, she would be expected to ask Yva for her advice on such matters and come back with answers the next day.
Along the way, she greeted a few of her other daughters who were enjoying the pleasures of the temple. It was so wonderful to see how happy they all were here. Huffing and puffing, she finally made it to the soft, velvety couch where she entertained those who came to voice their concerns. As always, some refreshments had been set out for her to snack on throughout the day; today it was a mix of nuts, wild berries, and fresh honey to dip them in. She settled in, Ajax resting at her feet, ready to take on just another day. Her first visitor was...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
