"Who came?" Eshyal frowns at his servant.

"Lord, it's the goddess of fire." The servant tenses his shoulders. Beads of sweat roll down on his forehead, stinging his eyes. Goddess of fire has arrived and she doesn't seem happy.

"Mahuna is here." Eshyal gasps when the servant nods. He can't believe that she came to his abode on her own. 

"Take care of the guest." Eshyal touches his lips, thinking about what would Mahuna likes. "Send her the best wine… and desserts. Not too sweet. She doesn't like desserts that are too sweet."

"Um…" The servant raises his hand. "Lord, Goddess Mahuna wants to --"

"I need to take bath!" Eshyal announces loudly before he dashes into the bathroom.

"...to challenge your lordship," The servant trails off.
