9As she undid the string around her waist, sliding away the cloth over her shoulders as it falls to the floor. Nancy walked over to the closet opened the door to a wide verity of dresses and cloaks. As she picked out a cloak on a hanger, lifting it up to see if it is right for the occasion. For in the great hall, no one wears clothes unless you are an Elder. An Elder and the ones whose involved in the ritual only wears a half cloak that cover the head that wraps around the shoulder down to the waist. Everyone else is cloth less for it is a ritual symbolizing freedom and trust for the Great Hall as a sacred place.

I need you to prepare for the family members who are going to arrive or have arrived without notification. More food will be necessary along with lodging situation but first let us great our arrivals who have come and are waiting in the great hall. As they, both put on the hoods to their cloaks and nothing else the door opens to a crowd of hundreds drinking and mingling of the excitement that is to come.

Nancy burst out in a loud voice that echoed from the round dome above taking her first steps past the door.

"Welcome to all, to the Great Hall!"

Nancy smiles as she looks around feeling the power that she so loves to have. But taking the limelight as well over the ritual it has made her decade.

Besides, as most of you have heard that I am taking a part in this year's ceremony. I know, I have not been involved physical in a ritual for some time. Honored that my daughters have found an individual who seems to have intrigued both my daughters more than in a social manner for I will be able to give them a brother. The ritual will start in seven days, so until then accommodations are being prepared as we speak. I hope all that have arrived and those of us yet still in travel enjoy one to the fullest for tomorrow brings another moon.

As Nancy turned showing her naked backside, walked away as did the Gatherer followed.

The crowd within the Hall completely unclothed continued to their delights of drinking, feeding off the catered food, and with a little sexual contact threw out the hall.

Nancy took off her cloak opened the door to her cabinet that held the other ceremonial garments grabbed a hanger and placed the cloak back in the cabinet. Closing the doors of the cabinet she paused turned to look at the Gatherer. I need to know you are ok with this my daughter. You and Vixen are my most loyal and trustworthy companions. "You do know this?"
