Morrigan decided that the glass and a half of wine on an empty stomach might not have been that bad of an idea. At least it al owed her not to be so uptight about three women bathing her. Actual y it was kinda funâmore like a slumber party (except that she was naked and up to her chin in hot, soapy water) than a preritual anointing.
âIs the Keep of Oklahoma much different than our Realm, my Lady?â Deidre asked as she scrubbed one of Morriganâs arms.
âOh yeah, lots different,â Morrigan said, and then added before she real y realized what she was saying, âI never felt like I belonged there.â
âThat is because you belong here, my Lady,â Raelin said with a bright smile.
âI think you might be right about that.â She turned, tilted her head back, and while they rinsed the excel ent-smel ing shampoo from her hair, Morrigan continued. âEven though I havenât been here very long itâs like something inside of me has unwound and relaxed for the first time in my life.â
âI cannot imagine the pain it would cause to be separated from Adsagsona,â Birkita said. The other women nodded in solemn agreement.
âAt least I understand it now. Before, I thought I was the weird one. I was constantly tel ing myself that it was my fault I felt like that because I wasnât trying hard enough to be like everyone else.â
âOh, no, my Lady!â Deidre said, near tears. âIt was separation from your goddess that made you feel that you were an outlander.â
âYou wil never feel so again,â Birkita said, squeezing her bare, wet shoulder.
âYou know, I was nervous about the ritual. But Iâm real y starting to look forward to it.â Actual y, as the women toweled her vigorously dry and began rubbing sweet, almond-scented oil into her skin, Morrigan realized she was feeling almost giddy with excitement. She was getting ready to hear the voice of her goddess!
Wrapped in a thick towel, Morrigan, accompanied by the three women, went to her room. Spread out on her pal et was a weird-looking piece of clothing made of a material that shimmered silver white in the light of the selenite stalactites. Morrigan stroked the beautiful cloth.
âWow, itâs like silk, but itâs real y leather.â
âIt is the finest of kidskin, softened by the hands of Adsagsonaâs priestesses, dyed and embroidered with the finest diamonds by a High Priestess who went to spend her eternity with the Goddess decades ago. I wore it for my first Dark Moon Ritual nearly fifty years ago.â Birkitaâs smile was wistful. âWould that I was supple and young enough to wear it again.â
Morrigan studied Birkitaâs petite form. Just like G-ma, she thought, barely over a hundred pounds soaking wet. âOh, please! You could stil wear this.â
The older womanâs cheeks warmed to a blushing pink, but she smiled. âIt is time for a new High Priestess. I wish you many years of joy wearing it.â She motioned for Deidre and Raelin to help her, and together the three women began wrapping the supple leather around Morriganâs body.
