Luz laid back on his throne. He propped one foot upon the seat while his elbow leaned on the armrest, his cheek resting on his hand as he gazed out at the festivities before him. The throne room was a lively place today. The sound of music, clapping, laughter, and chatter echoed within the open halls. The sun's warm light filled the area as mortals and gods alike danced and had fun.

Today was the first day of the year Luz was celebrated as the god of light and life. The summer solstice. With the next day to celebrate being the winter solstice. A whole day dedicated to him. Well, not fully. It was dedicated to his brother, Onyx, as well. But his brother didn't care to celebrate the way he did.

A slender elf made her way over with a pitcher of wine. She smiled down at Luz as she held it up. Her voice was gentle as she spoke.

"More wine, my darling?"

Luz grinned, as he sat up, holding his chalice towards her.

"But, of course. Where would I be without you my precious Gaia."

Gaia giggled as she began to pour, filling his cup to the top.

"Knowing you? Perhaps pitching a fit having to fetch your own wine."

Luz's brow rose as he brought the sweet liquid to his lips. He took a sip, his gaze looking over Gaia's body. With a smirk, he purred.

"You know, my dear. If you were wanting to be pleasured tonight before the others, all you had to do was ask."

A blush crossed Gaia's cheeks and a hand rose to cover her lips as she giggled. She turned to head back to the party, yelping in surprise as a hand collided with her ass. As she glanced back she could see the mischievous look upon Luz's face and that seductive grin as he not so subtly gazed at her body, loving the way her dress clung to her.

A huff and a voice beside him drew his attention away from watching Gaia make her rounds. A female jinn stood next to him, her arms crossed as she tapped her foot. She whined.

"I thought it was my turn..."

Chuckling, Luz reached out a hand, caressing her cheek, as he hummed.

"Embra... Com'on now. You know you are first almost every time. You can wait a little longer for me, right? I mean. Surely you don't think I'll be done after one time."

Meanwhile on a small island, Tangitoa Village sits in the heart of a vast ocean. No one comes to this small island and no one leaves. They keep to themselves mostly. The village has a population of about 100 people. They live in small wooden huts with straw roofs. Everyone is friendly here and everyone knows each other.

So one day, when a young woman appeared on their island out of nowhere on the summer solstice, they were initially cautious of her presence. But seeing that she meant no harm and appeared to not know how or why she ended up there they decided to take her in. They helped her learn the ways of their village, gave her her own hut to live in, and slowly befriended her.

After some time she became another part of the village and everyone was grateful for her being there. The women loved talking to her and working with her. The men had crushes on her. Children enjoyed playing with her. And the elders appreciated all she did to help them. The village leader, however, sensed something about her. And the village prophet seemed to think she was part of some prophecy that would either unite the gods or end the world. But the leader and prophet kept this from her, not wanting to burden her.

Soon, her life within the village became a peaceful and happy existence, unaware of the ripple she had caused amongst the gods.

Months had passed by since Luz felt that strange pull he couldn't explain. He had initially forgotten all about it after then. Nothing bad had happened and it seemed to disappear so he had no reason to keep trying to figure out what it was.

As he bent to pluck a tulip in his garden one day, his eyes widened. The tulip fell from his hand, drifting to the ground below. He dropped to his knees as the pull grabbed his heart again. This time was much stronger than before. He felt like he couldn't move. He was immobilized.

Several agonizing minutes passed by and he could move again. He fell back, panting.

"What the hell was that..."

He gazed around once more. No one was there. It wasn't some sort of spell or curse being cast. He could sense no magic. But he could still feel the pull. It was tugging him. Beckoning him to follow. Growling, he rose to his feet.

Without telling anyone he left the palace, following where the pull was leading him. Teleporting led Luz to a quaint island in the middle of the ocean. It was still day time. He looked around. It seemed relatively normal. Suddenly his ears caught the sound of drums. There was life here.

Slowly, he made his way towards the sound. It grew louder as he could hear music. He could see a village in the distance. It was small. Using a little bit of magic he covered himself in a glamour that would make mortals think he was someone they knew at passing glance. This way he could mingle and get information.

As he approached, he could tell the village was having some sort of celebration. The pull grew stronger the closer he got. It had to be here.

Squeezing into the crowd, Luz caught a few pieces of conversation here and there. It appeared the leader's son had come of age and he would become the village's new leader. Having nothing better to do, Luz decided he'd join in on the celebrations. He made his way over to the banquet table, helping himself to some cooked chicken and mead while he watched some of the villagers dancing around a bonfire.

After a moment, he began looking around once more. Then his eyes landed upon the young lady sitting by herself. For some reason she seemed lonely to him. Something about her made him want to go to her. Wanting to pass the time faster, Luz made his way over to her. He bowed to her, holding out his hand.

"It's a shame for quite a pretty young lady to miss out on all the fun. May I?"

Before she could answer he took a hold of her hand, pulling her to her feet and leading her into a dance. He held her close as their bodies swayed and moved in time with the other couples. He grinned down at her.

"You are quite the excellent dancer."

He almost zoned out when suddenly he heard her ask who he was.

He looked down at her with wide eyes. That shouldn't have happened. He had made sure of that. So then why? Then he realised. He whispered to her.

"Y-You're the one. The one who's been calling to me?"

Judging by the confused face she made, it was clear she didn't know what he was talking about. He stopped the dance. This caught the attention of just about everyone, stopping the celebration as everyone began staring.

"I felt you. A while back. You were pulling me to you. And today. It was even stronger. It led me here. I think I understand now. I am Luz, god of light and life. And you, you are my priestess."

He looked into her eyes. He let his glamour fade and suddenly their were gasps as they recognised the god. Without wasting time, Luz leaned down, pressing his lips to her forehead. A warm light filled the area as a Worship Mark in the shape of an elegant sun formed upon her forehead. He smirked.

"I knew it..."

Swiftly, he bent, picking her up over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and looking around as some of the villagers began to stepped forward in protest. He held up a hand.

"Fear not, the young maiden will be well taken care of. She's to be my new priestess. I shall send a gift of offerings within a week's time to make up for the void the loss of her presence shall bring with."

He began walking away as the village leader and prophet stepped forward. The prophet, an elderly man, spoke up. He said something about how Luz doesn't understand what he's doing. But Luz didn't seem to care. In an instant, he and the young woman were gone.

Luz carried her into a lush, elegant bedroom which was now her bed chambers and set her down upon the enormous plush bed. The bed chambers had a wardrobe, dresser, large bed, sofa, a vanity mirror and make up dresser, table with two chairs, and a grand bathroom attached.

"There we go. You've had a long exciting day, but don't worry. From here on out your life will be filled with nothing but luxury, pleasure, and bliss. Your only task is to worship me and thrive. I'll let you get situated in your room before we introduce you to the other priestesses. And maybe we'll find you a more flattering dress than what you have on."
