This choice: Ersha grabs some holy milk, but is caught. She hides her sin by eating it! • Go Back...Chapter #10Ersha grabs some holy milk, but is caught. She ... by: yyy24   Ersha dashed through the village as best she could, her normal stealthy approach tossed to the side in her effort to help her goddess, she wouldn't let her waste away to nothing or be driven insane with hunger, she would help her attain her true power and form and be rewarded in kind.
"I might not be able to get her a blessing feast, but I can get her the next best thing" she thought to herself, peaking into Fatlia's tent she sighed in relief as she saw that she had come at the right time, Fatlia was off being bathed and cleaned by her hand maidens, the process would take at least 2 hours and even then she would retire to her harem tent for the evening to work up a sweat befitting a woman of her stature, So Ersha had at least all night to find the thing she was looking for
quickly scanning through Fatlia's shelves and chests she found the thing she was looking for, a small glass jug containing a liquid as pure and white as fresh fallen snow (not that Ersha would know what snow is, living in a tropical jungle) it was the holy milk, something that was only collected once every 10 years from the blessed cattle of the goddesses, it's refreshing purposes where spoken of only in legend, it apparently had the power to quench the thirst of an entire tribe 10 times over, with this she would be able to sate her goddesses hunger, if not forever then at least until such time as she could prepare a blessing feast herself.
as she went to stow it in her pack she took out her own jug of milk that she'd brought to trade, she placed it back in Fatlia's possessions and put the holy milk in her bag before slowly leaving the tent, trying not to be seen, unfortunately she wasn't as lucky as she hoped.
"Ersha, what are you doing?" A voice called out to her from the darkness
"who..Who's there?" Ersha yelped back before seeing a figure melt out of the shadow, it was the almost spherical body of Fatlia's own personal handmaiden and chief feeder, Mila, everything that Fatlia ate was tested first be her, and the blobular nature of her purely fat 400 pound body showed this off.
"Oh Mila, I was worried it was the escaped heretic" Ersha replied, trying to calm herself
"the escaped heretic who none of our hunters can find? what would she be doing asking after you in the village?" Mila retorted, "why where you in our great shaman's hut just now?"
"oh...erm..no..no reason really, just...just" Ersha blurted out
"Just?"
"well, you know, she's always so thirsty when she gets back the next morning, I left her some milk on her throne, then I remembered she wouldn't be after such a paltry offering and I was just off to get some wine to replace it when you found me"
"Oh really? just some milk?" Mila raised an eyebrow quizzically at her
"yup. see look" Ersha was under a lot of pressure at this point, she hated lying to her fellow tribes women and wasn't used to such espionage, so without thinking she pulled the bottle out of her pack and drank it one swift gulp, "Nothing magical about this milk at all"
"..No I wouldn't think there would be...I think you need to rest Ersha, this hunting for the heretic must have you more stressed than your letting on" and with that Mila waddled off to join her mistress on the other side of camp
As soon as she was out of earshot Ersha began running back to the cave as fast as she could, with one thought on her mind "Oh shit!"   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
