The goddess Nadiya had proven that pleasure can be found even in the darkest of times, to herself and the world, and Lyre's Rest was tangible proof of that. It was a city of comfort and indulgence where food and drink never seemed to run short, each building was a work of art, and every inhabitant twice as statuesque - and quite eager to share their blessings with the world. It was a place you could go to forget your worries and enjoy life like nowhere else, and none knew how to enjoy life quite like their goddess.<br/><br/>Some days couldn't be devoted solely to pleasure, however, and today was one of them. Today, Nadiya had a meeting with several important guests, and she didn't plan to be late. So much to the disappointment of her many lovers, she rose early that morning and, stepping carefully through exhausted masses of naked bodies so as to not disturb their much-needed rest, made her way out of her chambers. Last night's orgy would have left most sore for weeks, but for a goddess of lust, it was hardly a warmup. If this were any other day, she would have already started the second round.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, she had business to prepare for.<br/><br/>Nadiya's home was to Lyre's Rest what the city was to the rest of the nation; a palace of pleasure to put even the delights around it to shame. Her guests would be greeted at the entrance by one of her servants - a young golden-haired woman, maybe, blessed with beauty so luscious she could hardly be human. Her only garment would be a diaphanous gown so thin it hardly concealed her at all, serving more to decorate her voluptuous form than provide any modesty. She'd bow, careful to emphasize her considerable bosom with the gesture, and say in a silky voice, "My goddess has been expecting you. I will take you to her, if you wish. And if there is...<em>anything</em>," she'd say, her eyes hopeful, "You desire, please do not hesitate." No need to ask, everything about her tone and mannerisms made that clear. Any desire could be satisfied in these halls.<br/><br/>But if (or when) Nadiya's guests would allow - and each of them would be greeted similarly if they arrived separately - they would be guided through the palace and to the room where the goddess awaited them. Her palace was a place of wondrous beauty, its arches and doors etched with gold and studded with jewels, its halls lined with statues, and its walls decorated with engravings, tapestries, and other artwork. All of it was masterfully made, and much of it was erotic. Nadiya's reputation as a sexual goddess was well-earned, and nowhere was that more obvious than in her home. Giggles and moans of pleasure sounded throughout the halls, and the open architecture gave many chances to see her servants enjoying each other's company, each one as attractive as the last and all of them utterly without shame.<br/><br/>At the end of it all was the goddess herself. After bathing and preparing herself for the meeting, she selected a room, smaller than some but no less warm and comfortable, and set herself to the tremendous task of waiting. She'd be reclining on silken pillows when they arrived, deep in thought... but still quite ready to greet them with a welcoming smile. Nadiya was, not unexpectedly, wearing as little as any of her servants - only a golden necklace with fist-sized jewels around her neck and a slight silken robe left untied so that her body was quite bare. And she was truly a sight to behold: every inch of her divine form, from the expansive mountains and valleys of her breasts and hips, to the enticing curve of her ruby lips, down to her immaculate nails painted scarlet, was like lust itself had been made flesh. Even her servants couldn't compare.<br/><br/>And on any other day, lust was likely what would be on her mind. Today, though, would be her first time meeting others like herself... and she was honestly a little nervous. You'd never see it in her, of course; she was much too good at this to let her expression show what she didn't want it to. But the feeling was there somewhere, along with everything else she kept hidden in the back of her mind.<br/><br/>Today was the start of something new. Nadiya wasn't quite sure what sort of people these gods were, or where this meeting would lead... but she was determined to enjoy herself regardless. She only hoped the others would be thinking the same.
