"I'm just going to be honest with you; you deserve that much after being dragged out and sacrificed like that." Pearl clears her throat, "You are going to be my personal pet and plaything. Basically someone to practice and play with between my duties as a goddess."
"WHAT?!?" you bellow, surprising yourself with how loud you were. "I'm just some toy for you to lord over?!"
Pearl sighed, setting her wine glass aside. "More like a cute pet to play with, but...yes, my little sacrifice. That's your lot in life now." She reached over and plucked you out of the anemone, holding you close to her face. "Look, I'm new to this 'goddess' thing; I haven't really adjusted yet. I'm the Goddess of the Oceans; that's half of your mortal planet! That's a big workload!"
"Seventy percent of the planet...." you mumble. Apparently this so-called "Goddess" hadn't looked at a globe.
Pearl either didn't hear your snark, or ignored it. "And this is the first time I've really interacted with humans. I mean, my parents gave me some pirates and other bad guys to play with when I was a little kid, but...I just ate or sat on them when I got bored. They deserved it, but that's not the same thing as having to protect a whole village of humans."
Despite Pearl's rambling, you cringe. She was just so casual when she talked about the poor saps she'd eaten alive or crushed when they weren't amusing any more...and she'd done that as a kid!
"So I need...practice. A human who's around all the time, so I can finally get the 'lording over mortals' thing down. The voice, how to give orders; all that," Pearl concluded. Then she smirked. "And when the job gets stressful, I'll also need some...stress relief. A nice fin massage; or just chase around.....maybe even sit on you, if I'm in that sort of mood." She winked, shaking her hips under the water and making waves. "But don't worry, that's more of a guilty pleasure now that I've grown up. Mostly."
You began to sweat. Just what was this giant whale woman going to do to you? It sounded like you'd be her adviser half the time; her helpless toy the other half!
Pearl giggled at your bewilderment and finished off her wine. "Well, it looks like I'm getting the 'show mortals their place' part of the job down pat." She lumbered out of the jacuzzi and set you on the tub's rim as she toweled off. Not bothering to put her toga back on, she snatched you up again. "Well, my little sacrifice; I think it's time we celebrate my promotion to goddesshood, and your new lease on life!" She announced cheerfully. "And I know just the way to do it. I'm gonna..."
