CARING FOR THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

rising early before the sun made it's way over the horizon, girl slipped into her camisk and harta she made her way to the shed to gather the tools needed to work the soil of the garden. her slender fingers worked the latch to get it open. not realizing how heavy the door was she gripped the handle with her tiny hands then shifted her weight against it to push it back. once it started to move along the track it rolled with ease. although the sun had started to rise, the shed was pitch black as she looked inside. she peeked her head inside then grabbed the lantern the hung outside to provide light. she lifted it by the handle.. then held it in the air, as her sable eyes scanned the walls, looking for the proper tools. a smile covered her face as she laid eyes on what appeared to be similar to a hoe and rake. she gather them... setting them outside the door of the shed... then hung the lantern back where it belonged. the garden wasn't far from the shed, but girl knew she must close the door as she had found it. she carried the tools, one in each hand as she headed towards the garden.

the sun now rising enough to give her some light as she began to work. she first worked the ground with the hoe..chopping and breaking up the ground around each row of vegetables.. as she worked the garden *she began to feel a little emotional as her mind reflected back to her childhood and her visits to her grandmothers and how she would tend to her garden.* she'd chop away at the hard soil, as girl is doing, until it was broken and moved loosely, then she'd pull the loose dirt up around the base of the crop with the hoe. the loose dirt allowed the plants to grow with ease. she worked the full garden... sweat dripping from her brow...her hands blistered from her tight gripping of the tool, but she wouldn't complain...before she knew it girl had finished hoeing the garden...she stepped back and looked at the work she had done...

not having to use the rake she gathered both tools a took them back to the shed.. wiping the hoe off with a rep cloth then hanging each in their proper place...before closing the door to the shed and heading off to do her next chore....

What better time than now to make another batch of verr cheese.. the Hall is quiet and her sisters are all about performing their duties. girl entered the cold storage room to find that there were containers of milk being stored.. she gripped the long neck bottles and carried one in each hand back to the kitchen. Hmmm what could she use that is similar to a lemon...harta girl ran back down the stairs to checking to see what would be available or similar to what she knew to be a lemon... she found something that appeared to be close... she peeled it open..then extended her little pink tongue and ran it across it quickly whoooaa.. "made her mouth pucker just like a lemon"... well.. ~shrugs her shoulders... taste like a lemon.. she gather eight of the yellow fruit.. taking them to the kitchen.. she sliced them into halves.. she squeezed and squeezed until she had enough juice to what looked to be two thirds of a cup. She held it up.. ahhh.. that should do it.. then walked to the cupboard taking out the container of seasalt.. to season to taste...

girl sat the big iron kettle over the fire and began to pour the two jugs of milk into ..slowly allowing the milk to heat. With her delicate hand she lifted the bowl of “lemon juice” and stirred it in the warm milk until it began to curdle.. the texture started to thicken.. she lifted a bit in the spoon.. and watched it fall.. ahh. Yes .. looks good...girl removed the mixture from the heat..

she walked to the other side of the cabinet to pull the out the strainer...lined it with two fine rep cloths.. Gently girl poured the milk into the rep cloths, then gathered the rep cloths up around the liquid and tied it into a bundle. She found a spot for the bundle to hang.. she found a copper kettle and placed it underneath for the liquids to drip in.. … whaahhh la.. we'll let that hang for about an ahn & half .. then add a little sea salt to taste.. ~smiles~.. verr cheese.. mmmm prepared for the next serve

after finishing she she filled the two small barrels with warm water.. adding soap flakes to only one... she washed the kettles.. and rinsed them.. then took a rep cloth to dry them..then took the wet rep cloth and properly cleaned the counters.. she swept the kitchen.. leaving the kitchen as clean as she found it...

eris pulled the skirt of her camisk up to form a small well. She placed in it enough clothes pins to mark the boots as she gathered them for cleaning. her dainty feet glided softly down the hall leading to the chamber of the warriors of Schendi. There she found that some had left their boots just outside the door for cleaning. As she approached the first door, she took the first pair of boots and pinched them together with one clothes pin.. at the second door was another pair so she used two clothes pins.. then the third and fourth marked in the same way. In doing this she knew where to set each pair once they had been cleaned and polished. She slid her fingers between the two pairs of boot then, picked them up two pair in each of her dainty little hands.... then headed towards the small room off from the kitchen where she did most of her thinking as she worked. Here is where she could sit quietly by herself to clear her thoughts from the day as she worked. She lit a few candles to brighten the room while she worked.

As eris began to gather her supplies a simple melody came to her mind and she began to hum ...the items she was using were simple supplies...a bosk bristle brush, beeswax, olive oil, rep cloths, rain water, silver spoon, a tea like candle, a clay bowl, a small tin and very small wire frame

eris lit the candle and placed it the small wire frame.... she then poured the water into the tin. carefully she placed it just inside the frame..this would allow the water to heat while girl mixed the beeswax and olive oil. scooping the amount of beeswax she needed into the clay bowl then adding half of a cup of the finest olive oil... girl stirred and stirred until she worked the stiff wax into a creamy mixture. carefully she sat the clay bowl into the now warmed water... this would keep her home made polish soft as she cleaned the boots.

still humming an unknown melody, she took her long slender fingers and began to pull the laces from the boots. serving the Masters always seemed to put her in good mood.. she separated the first pair of boots by removing the clothes pin..then took the coarsely bristled brush and cleaned them over a pail.. running it over the surface of each boot.. the sand and dirt falling loose from the boots..she then wiped them down with a rep cloth to make sure they were clean before applying the wax...she slid her arm down the leg of the boot until it disappeared, using her hand like a foot to steady the boot. girl then took a fresh rep cloth to begin polishing the boot. she wrapped it around her hand then dipped it into the mixture.. she moved the cloth in small circles .. she started working the polish around and around the top of the boot..buffing out the polish until she brought it to a glassy shine... then repeated the process for the second boot...for each pair she polished she said a pray of protection for the warriors whose feet would slip back inside....the flickering light of the candles bounced of the shine of the boots...she finished the first pair then pinched them together with one pin...

as she finished each pair one by one..she pinched them back together..before heading down the corridor to place the beside the door where they belonged... the muscles of her shoulders began to ache..but never would she let that stop her from finishing her chore...

quietly she sat them beside the doors according to the number of pins that had pinched each pair together...she was so excited to have completed her chore for the evening...she danced down the hall turning round and round.. still humming her tune...she returned to the room to put away her supplies.. she cleanses the bowls.. then put every thing away.. before she retired for the evening eris blew out the candles....then turned on the balls of her feet.. and headed towards the kennels for a good nights rest...

after two days of celebration girl would rise early this morning to start her chore of cleaning the rep cloths. she walked into the kitchen still feeling like she had sand in here eyes. she stopped and stretched her slender arms wide with balled up fist, before removing the soiled cloths from the bin. she had thoughts of the nights of the celebration that brought a smile to her face...as she began to work.

after pulling all of the cloths from the bin in the kitchen and the bath, she put them into a hand made twig basket. she bent low to pick up the overflowing basket, her hips high in the air, as her delicate hands gripped the handles. with one shift.. she raised her head to stand upright... the basket resting on her hip and thigh as she carried it outside...

she then padded her feet against the dry dirt to fetch some kindling wood from the wood pile. as she returned she placed the the wood under the kettles according to how high she wanted the fire to burn...gracefully turning on the balls of her feet taking long strides to go fill pail after pail rain water, carrying one in each hand until the kettles were full enough to launder the rep cloths...eventually she would learn to balance a pail on her head.. but until she didn't want to waste any water trying.. knowing it would be her that would be drenched.. not the rep cloths..

under the first kettle the fire flames were very high. carefully she filled each kettle with rain water. girl would use this pot to soak the rep cloths, so she added a few soapy flakes stirring them round and round, until the water began bubble and boil. the steam from the water.. hitting her in the face as she stirred...using her dainty hands she tossed the soiled cloths into the bubbly water then pushed them deep within the kettle using the long metal stick. she lifted the skirt of her camisk to wipe the sweat dripping from her steam covered face..

girl then moved to the second kettle to start a low burning fire...after about half an ahn she began to transfer the rep cloths by picking them up with the long metal stick.. careful not to splatter any water as she lifted them to the second pot...she pushed the rep cloths down into the water for their second wash... after they were all transferred to the second tub girl began to scrub them one by one... she rubbed the more stubborn stained cloths together until she rubbed the stain out.. she could feel the skin rubbing back off her fingers as she scrubbed real hard steadily rubbing the cloth briskly one hand against the other until each cloth reached it's bright white color again.. she twisted each one wringing out all the suds before tossing it in the third kettle for final rinsing...she lifted the cloths then dipped them in the water.. then lifted then dipped them...repeating until the soapy water was completely out of the cloths.. she twisted each one tight as the turned her wrist removing as much water as she possibly could.. then held them at the corners with the tips of her fingers to shake the cloths loose..

after girl filled the twig basket she carried it to where she would hand the cloths to dry.. she took them one by one holding each by the corners in each hand she'd raise them and with a quick flick of her wrist.. the cloth with snap before she'd hang each one then pin them in place... knowing it wouldn't take long for the cloths to dry as they blew gently in the breeze ...girl pulled the plugs on the kettles and let them drain... the water put the fires out.. girl let the pots cool down then scrubbed them clean..

by the time she finished cleaning the kettles, the cloths were dry.. she removed them from the line and folded them one by one then carried them back inside where she would put them away for her and her sisters to use once again...

she looked at her chafed hands wishing they had a cream with lanolin or aloe so they would heal...

Before leaving the Main Hall, girl went to the kitchen to grab a few rep cloths. While strolling down the path leading to the stables, she began to gather her thoughts of what supplies she would need to do her chore... counting them off on her fingers she found she would need..

1)Clean Rep Cloths
2)A Pail of Warm Water
3)Saddle Soap
4)Leather Conditioner
5)Leather Oil
6)Small Stool
7)The Whip

Once she arrived at the stables, she used her weight to push back the heavy door.. Although she wasn't very big, once the door started to roll back it was easy to move..Someone had started a fire under the big kettle of water, that is used for chores.. before the water became to hot, girl easily dipped her pail into the kettle of water... it was hot but not so hot it would burn her hands..as she pulled the pail from the water girl was very careful she was careful of fire burning below the kettle..

as she walked back into the stables many thoughts were running through her mind.. causing her to become somewhat emotional as she thought about her chore.. she sat the pail down then gathered the rest of what she needed.. onyx sat the stool down by the pail then gathered the soap, conditioner, oil, and cloths...her tiny feet glided in the soft dirt as she crossed the stables stopping at the hook where “The Whip” hung...

she gasped * as leaned in opening her mouth wide gripping “The Whip”between her lips closing her teeth around it as she raised it from the hook which it had been wrapped around...she closed her eyes briefly wondering how many slaves had felt it's sting...in silence onyx turned on the balls of her feet holding “The Whip” tightly in her mouth as she went to sit on the stool and begin cleaning it..

she lowered herself with ease down to the stool.. crossing her toned legs at the ankles..she spread dry rep cloths across her exposed lap then released “The Whip” letting it fall upon her lap now covered by the cloths.. “The Whip” could never be touch by the hands of a slave..

she held two rep cloths one in each hand using it to separate her from the leather... as girl began to undo the braid of the whip she noticed the residue of dried blood and bits of dried flesh falling on the cloths that covered her lap, she instantly reflected back to the whipping of the two sisters she had witnessed...their whailing screams from the bite it's sting.. but yet how proud they were to rise and be known as a Schendi slave...

once girl had the leather strips unbraided she then began to clean “The Whip”..she took a dry rep cloth and wiped the leather down before adding any soap or oil..this was to remove any loose dirt or grime that were in the folds of the braided strands..she then dipped the applied some of the soap to a wet cloth and began to clean each strand and the handle of “The Whip”...after girl had washed it down with soap she then took another clean cloth and a special leather conditioner and oil to keep “The Whip” soft and easy to *snap * at a flick of the wrist.. once the long leather strands were cleaned and braided girl leaned forward picking the handle up between her teeth.. then held the tail of the whip between her tightly pressed together legs..she used the dry cloth, the soapy cloth, the wet cloth and finally the conditioner and oiled cloths..never using her hands to hold “The Whip” as she held each cloth between her two hands.. working the cloths against the leather as if she were polishing shoes

once girl had finished cleaning and conditioning “The Whip”.. she braided it down leaving stands of the leather undone, then looped it round and round..before gripping the looped tail between her teeth and hanging it back on the hook...as she turned “her back” and walked away to put away the supplies... for girl knew soon it would be her turn to feel the sting of “The Whip”....

walking through the gates of her mistress private estate she noticed there were a few little things on the outside that needed her attention. the flowers needed weeding and watering, and the sidewalk needed to be swept. girl could not tell how long it had been since the weeds were pulled or when the flowers had been watered. the weeds were getting tall and were trying to take over the beautiful blooming flowers...

she made her way to the storage shed to where she would find a pair of scissors, a straw broom, rep cloth sacks and a weaved basket. carrying the broom in one and and the scissors inside the basket, she headed back to the front of the estate..

. girl eris knelt on the tenderness of her tiny knees..she pushed the tall weeds apart began to pull the weeds from the flower bed. squatting down she moved along the flower bed on her hands and knees. she extended her slender arms so she could grip and pull the weeds quickly. handful after handful she tugged and tugged until the roots were working loose from the dry soil...as she pulled the weeds she placed them into the rep cloth sack. girl eris pulled the weeds from the flower bed then worked her way down then back up the length of the sidewalk. it brought a certain tidiness as she stopped and looked at her work.

once she finished pulling the weeds she took the straw broom and and swept the walk.. she swept the broom from side to side clearing the dirt and sand until she reached the end of the walk..between some of the cracks tiny weeds had begun to grow...girls slender fingers wrapped around the stubborn weeds between the cracks... she pulled the tiny weeds gently trying to pull them from the roots, but she knew they would soon return for her to repeat the task...

once the stubborn ol' weeds were pulled and the sidewalks swept, girl took the watering bucket, filled it with rain water, then proceeded to water all of the flowers... they were really dry. the water soaked right through the dry ground....eris cut some of the longer stem flowers laying them into the weaved basket until she returned inside. once she made her way inside the house, girl placed the flowers into a tall vase..::placing them under her nose she inhaled deeply to took in a deep breath.. the fragrance was wonderful...girl took the vase and placed it at her mistress bedside... the fresh aroma filled the room, she hoped her mistress would enjoy them once she enter the privacy of her chambers...

she smiled and closed the door on her way out..

rising early on this morn to start her chores girl refreshed herself with a nice long hot bath and washing of her long onyx tresses. after her bath she headed towards the work shed to start her chore. she walked the path that lead her to the work shed.. her onyx hair blowing in the wind off her shoulders as her bronzed thighs pushed through the slits of her silks. her curving hips swinging from side to side as she walked the trail. upon reaching the work shed.. she pushed the door open and began looking for the stones, jars, and scoop she would need for her chore of grinding blackwine beans..

her tiny feet moved her sleek body to where the beans were stored.. although the bag was quite heavy she tossed it over her shoulder and carried the full rep sack of beans to the large round flat stone, where she would be working. she noticed there were several large flat stones in the work shed. her little sable eyes glanced around until she found the right flat stones. the flat stones were used for grinding grains, beans, spices and other foods. there were various size stone stored on the shelf close to where she would be working.. she picked one that was within the weight of which she could continuously lift to pound the beans over and over and over.

once eris found the right flat stone to use she cleansed the surface with hot soapy water then rinsed and dried it down. the surface of the stone was stained from prior usage of grinding the beans in the past. eris knelt down on the tenderness of her knees beside the flat stone then took a small scoop of beans and placed them on the flat surface. she wrapped her slender fingers around the small stone gripping it tight in the palms of both hands, as she began break the beans open, pounding them over and over. girl worked and worked until she had all of the beans broken open. she placed them on several flat sheet pans then took them outside to dry in the sun... it was early morning so without a doubt the hot sun would have the beans dry by noon.

while the beans were drying girl filled two barrels with hot water, and added soapy flakes to one and the other would be her rinse water. she gathered the empty jars needing to be washed and reused for storage of the ground beans. her slender fingers tapped around the rim of the jars checking them for chips and cracks then washed and dried them all to a sparkling shine, before setting them out in the open breeze to assure no moisture was in the jars. as she knelt down on her hands and knees to clean the surface of the flat stone a light breeze blew through the shed lifting her silks from her slender frame. she scrubbed and scrubbed until a small mist of sweat covered her face, her arms and her frame. she took a clean dry rep cloth to wipe the sweat from her brow and arms before standing to her feet.

once the sun was at the height of the day, girl ran outside to check the dryness of the beans.. she pricked them open even more with her tiny fingers..testing to see if they were dry enough to crumble into a fine texture usable for black wine. ::her face curled into a bright smile:: as they were now ready to be crushed into a fine texture. she took the stone and pounded them until they were broken down...to keep from having a buildup she brushed the surface of the stone clean with the palms of her hand.. girl thought of the earthly tunes she used to sing and began to hum the melodies of the songs while she worked. this seemed to make the time go by faster and before she knew it she had the beans broken down to a fine texture, and was ready to begin filling the jars.

she cupped her tiny little hand to a half round circle and began to sweep the black beans onto the scoop. as the scoop filled, eris dumped the black wine grounds into a clean jar. once the jars were filled with grounded blackwine beans girl sealed the lid tight to keep moisture out and freshness in. one by one she placed them on the shelf for storage where they would be used by her sisters as they needed them.

after filling all of the jars, eris washed the surface of the flat stone and the round stone down with hot soapy water then rinsed it and dried it with a rep cloth. the unused jars were placed on the shelf upside down waiting to be filled with more blackwine.

throughout the morning girl had watched Her Mistress as she had been busy in the library going through the scrolls of Schendi. as she entered the room carrying her Mistress favorite glass of chilled ramberry juice girl could see her Mistress was tired from all the reading, but she had kept right on working.. as girl approached her Mistress she gracefully lowered herself as she folded down easily resting her buttocks on her heels.. she held the glass between her breast nuzzled next to her heart for three beats showing her heart to serve, then kissed the side of the glass opposite of what Her Mistress would drink showing her will to please, before lifting it above her head, offering it to her Mistress... her Mistress smiled down on her then pulled her readers from her face.. She rubbed her face in the palms of her hand before she lifted her head...

::she extended her hand wrapping her slender fingers around the base of the glass gripping it firmly so the ramberry juice wouldn't spill:... in a tired voice she said.. "Thank You mine... ::girl relaxed her arms::.. then spoke in a mild tone... girl hopes the drink will be refreshing to Her Mistress..

Her Mistress smiled down upon her then dismissed her to complete the her daily chores... ::girl eris rose to her feet and quickly her bare feet padding across the wooden floor..making her way to the wooden door, pushing it open far enough for her to slip then placing her tiny hand on the handle, closing it behind her::..

out the door she went, skipping down the stairs reaching the dirt road, leading her to Her Mistress private estate..once she arrived she wiped the dust from her feet before entering and walking on her pretty wooden floors... she didn't want to leave her dusty foot prints along the floor.... with each stride her tiny feet kissing against the grain of the wood floor.. her slave bells broke the stillness in the house with each jingle.as she walked towards Her Mistress bedroom..today girl would strip Her Mistress's bed, wash and dry her linen, broom her floor, and dust everything up...

she turned the knob then pushed the door open...her sable eyes quickly glancing around the room before lowering herself into a squat so she could prop the door open with the small rock.... she stood up straight then turned to walk towards the bed. She pulled the linen from the bed and pillows then took them outside where she would build a fire to warm the water in the big black kettles. She moved back and forth carrying buckets of rain water from the barrels to the kettles until they were filled. The fire was a blazing.. flames were coming up the side.. girl knew to be careful so she wouldn't get burnt...

once the two kettles of water were warming girl found a tub like container that would be used to pre-soak the linen. This was to whiten the linen before washing them. She filled the tub about ankle deep with stale urine, known as "wash" . This was a source of ammonium salts and assisted in cleansing and whitening the cloth. She cleansed her feet then stomped stomped and stomped around on the linens working them with the “wash”. She then lifted them to make sure they were free of any stains. By now the waters from the kettles were warm. Girl transferred the water into two smaller tubs she added lavender and soapy flakes to the first tub then wring the linens free of the “wash” and transferred them to this tub. Once the water was cool enough she cleansed her feet with a clean rep cloth and began to work the linen with her feet. She pulled them from the water to make sure they were free of any stains... then wring them out and rinsed them thoroughly before wringing them out to hang on the cloths line. Girl could smell the fresh lavender aroma as she inhaled deeply. Once they were on the line to dry, she emptied out all of the tubs and kettles, before going inside.

She headed back into the bedroom, to broom the floor. There wasn't much to sweep up.. Her Mistress kept her room very neat. She then took a clean rep cloth and dusted everything down bringing it to a fresh look.. she went to the flower bed and cut some fresh flowers, putting them in vases throughout the room. By the time girl had finished freshening up the room, the linens were dry, she made Her Mistress a fresh bed to sleep on.. fluffed up her pillows...she turned moving towards the door..before leaving she smelled the vase of fresh flowers.. turned to look around the room to make sure everything was done..

her lips curled into a sweet smile thinking Her Mistress would have a clean room to come home and rest in....
Back to top

Excellent chore mine, wonderful detail as usual. Continue the great effort extremely pleased with you in all you do..

Hugs and Kisses.

Post eris-FG on Sun 12 Aug - 14:14

Her eyes popped open as the sun hit her face. Sitting straight up in the bed and rubbing her sleepy eyes, girls arms stretched wide with her mouth opening to an awakening yawn. turning her feet to the floor she rose from her furs. Still sleepy as she put on an old worn camisk she'd laid out the night before. She pull her onyx hair up out her way, tieingit back into a little round knot. Her tiny feet padding across her dirt floors making her way to the vulo coop, where she would butcher some Vuloes....
as she entered the coop, the Vuloes began to scatter. Girl was much afraid of the Vuloes as they were her. Each time she entered a vulo coop, she would remember where her fear came from... being a curious child she had been chased by hens, and had them pluck her when she came close to their chicks... she thought they were cute and only wanted to hold them in her hands.

Girl filled pails of water, hauling them back and forth as she began to fill the two kettles just outside the coop. Once they were filled, she then started a fire underneath the kettles, bringing the water to a boil..she then gathered the buckets she'd use for the draining of the vulo... ~shivers at the thought of the blood draining slowly in the bucket hearing a drip.. drip.. drip..as the blood hit each pail..~

To get their attention off her girl scattered some grain of corn on the ground, and they began to eat. Now the chase would be on. Feeling her heart pounding in her chest.. her sable eyes dancing around coop.. she stretched her slender arms out wide as she approached the Vuloes.. they moved quickly and began to cackle...she grabbed the first one by the legs and lifted it off the ground holding it upside down by it's legs.. the Vuloes wings started flapping.. with one hand her slender fingers wrapped around the Vuloes legs, she held it in a tight grip so it wouldn't escape her hand. She knew if it got away there was no chance of getting it back on this day..

Being a slave, girl didn't really like the use of knives, so she avoided their use as much as possible.. rather than putting it's ugly little head on the chopping block, she used another method of killing the vulo. while holding the vulo in her hand and the wings still flapping, she wrapped her slender fingers around it's neck and with one quick flick of her wrist, she bent it upward. “snap”.. she closed her eyes then felt the Vuloes neck breaking in the palm of her hand. She dropped it on the ground.. letting it flop around until it became lifeless...a she watched the bird flopping around she “giggled” as she thought of how they would say on earth.. that one would run around like a vulo with it's head cut off.. she did this five more times.. killing a total of six Vuloes

once lifeless it was time to drain out some their blood. She picked the Vuloes up by their feet.. and carried them over to the line... she pinned them upside down to the wire cloths like line in the yard, hanging over a bucket..she wrapped a rep cloth around the handle of the knife, then opened the mouth of the vulo and slid the long slender blade of the knife between its beak and slightly down the throat. With a careful move she cut across the jugular. She was careful not to cut through the back of the neck. ….
In no time the blood had drained from the Vuloes.. so girl was now ready to pluck the feathers...she moved to the line to remove two of the Vuloes .. as she stood over the pot the steam hitting her in her face as she dipped the first one in the hot water and laid it on the table... then dipped the second one..hung them back over the buckets, letting both cool down some before she began to pull their feathers..her tiny hands gripped the feathers.. pulling them downward, careful as not to tear the skin.. she pulled the large feathers then the small feathers...after girl plucked the feathers, she slid the Vuloes on a metal rod.. one on each end.. she put it on her shoulders and walked lightly across the dirt, carrying them to the open pit.. she held them over the flame, singeing the remainder of the small feathers from the Vuloes... she repeated this process until all six were were cleaned of their feathers...

glancing up to the sun, she realized she needed to finish quickly so the Vuloes wouldn't spoil. She took a clean rep cloth and wiped the sweat from her brow. Harta she moved. as she took another clean cloth and wrapped it around the handle of the knife... she pinched the tail of the vulo between her thumb and her index finger lifting it to the table. carefully she began cutting around the anus to free the intestines of each bird...she then took the sharp blade and began slicing through it's skin to cut off the head of the vulo at the base of it's neck.. trying not to hurl as her tiny hand reached inside the vulo to loosen it's organs.. the heart... the liver.. the gizzards.. she pulled her hand from the inside of the vulo, then turned it around.. and lifted it's tale, pulling it's insides out through it's anus end.. she did this for each of the Vuloes...

once she had finished dressing the Vuloes she cut their feet off tossing the feet to the side for sister gin to use in vulo soup.. she dipped the Vuloes in the second kettle.. washing anything remaining on the outside of the Vuloes... the skin was so white and clear of any feathers..she hung three of the Vuloes in the smoke house.. and the other three she put some salt on them and wrapped them in clean rep cloths.. to be stored in the cool storage room, waiting to be used...her little belly began to growl as she thought of the smoked vulo and the fried vulo she would have at home... mmmmm

with no time to daydream about her homeland.. girl quickly cleaned up the mess.. she emptied the buckets.. washed out the kettles, cleaned the knives.. and put everything back into it's place...she now needed a long hot bath and a fresh silk before she'd present herself to the Free... the one thing girl always wondered is why they call it dressing Vuloes.. when you're taking everything.. out and off.. ~smiles~

CLEANING HER MISTRESS CLOSET

It was early evening and her Mistress was away visiting her parents. She had been invited to join them in their home for dinner. While she was away, girl decided to make good of the time and catch up on a few things around the house for Her Mistress. She had been given permission by Her Mistress to move around her private estate freely. Anything that needed to be done it was her duty to see that it was taken care of.

Tonight she would spend her time mending her mistress's dresses, veils, hoods, and stockings...she entered the main bedroom of the house where her Mistress's clothes were kept. She knocked on the door leading to the bedroom, when there was no answer, she then slowly pushed the door open. Her deep sable eyes danced around the room quickly to make sure no one was present.

She opened the door wide, but found the room to be empty. As she crossed the floor her slave bells chimed a cheery tune. Each stride sweeping her swiftly arcoss the floor. As she reached the double doors of her closet, she pulled the door open. She took a deep breath as she stood there amazed at how many dresses Her Mistress had obtained.. It looked to be one in every color and shade...She was truly a blessed woman. Her robes of consealment were plentiful. A veil and hood to match each one. Although it wasn't mandatory that she wear one at all times.. Her Mistress loves to dress her very best... and to always be in the proper attire... as she was very much a lady and a respectable Free.

Girl decided she would first organize Her Mistress's dresses by color, shade, then by their importance. She pulled all of the dresses from the closet...one by one.. she checked them over for missing buttons, frayed hems, sleeves, collars...anything that needed mending would be set aside. Before placing the undamaged dresses into the closet she took a broom and swept down wall to remove any dusty webs...and each corner and the floor... she took a clean rep cloth and wiped the dirt and dust from each shoe...then arranged them nicely, before placing the dresses back into the closet.

She checked each dress and robe for missing buttons. Then flipped the dress upside down to check them hems of each skirt. Several of the hems were frayed, and some of the garments were missing buttons. Her Mistress had saved buttons in a clay container from dresses she had worn priarly. She lifted the lid and placed her tiny hand in the container of buttons digging through them to find the closest match. She matched the threads as close as she could. She held the needle up to the light trying to see the little whole. Pulling the thread through the tiny whole, then tied it into a small knot. She slipped the point of the needle through the back of the button the over to the hole diagonal from the first.. then up through the hole beside it.. and diagonal to the other...making an “x”.. repeating it three times.. then tied it into a knot. She broke thread between her teeth, then tied the end in a knot.

as girl worked at mending the garaments the daylight grew dim. She lit a candle so she could continue her work. As the fresh scent filled the room,she wondered which sister had made the candles...She trimmed the frayed edges of the dresses and folded the hem back evenly.. she used a slip stich repairing the hems of the garments. holding the veils up to the light, they seemed to be in good condition. She checked the toes and of the stockings, a few needed repaired. She slid her tiny hand inside the leg of the stockings.. she whipped a stich to prepare each hold..

as she grew tired she rubbed her sleepy eyes....amazingly enough she had finished the last dress...as she put away the stockings, the veils, and as she hung the last dress.. she heard the door open...her Mistress had returned home... although she had a long evening, she had the prettiest smile on her face to brighten up the room..she spoke in a her proper voice.. “tal mine”... looks like you've kept yourself busy...as she looked inside the closet girl could see how she was pleased............

Cleaning The Cages

Silently staring out to the sea.. eris sat on her pillows watching the ships move up and down the harbor.. the soft breeze blowing her raven tresses from her shoulders. She closed her eyes and drifted off into her thoughts of when she first came to Schendi..she opened her sable eyes.. looking across the way at the two cages eris remembers the times she had spent there..the first three days upon her first arrival to Schendi, where she began the learning process of what it takes to be a Schendi slave.. she held her hands to the cold steel bars leaning her head against them as she watched and learned the beginnings of what it took to please the Free...

standing to her feet girl turned and walked into the kitchen area... her curves swaying side to side like the motions of the sea and her slave bells ringing a joyful tune with each stride. A soft smile covered her face as she thought of the sisters that spent their time in the cage as well. She moved through the kitchen to retrieve a pail of warm water. Filling it over half full then adding soapy flakes stirring them round and round into the bucket. Girl pulled a few rep cloths from the drawer of the cabinet then, and proceeded to pick up the bucket and return to the Main Hall..

looking into the cage that once held her...... eris turned to ask the guards if they would be so kind as to open the door, her eyes wide as they danced all around the cage as she looked inside …she listened to the lock “click” as He unlocked it then pulled the chain through the bars..., eris then pushed the shiny pail of water just inside before she crawled in sinking into a low squat. Holding the rep cloth in her hand as she dipped it into the soapy warm water, then taking both hands to wring the cloth free of water..

standing to her feet she began to wash each of the long steel bars.. she wrapped the cloth around each bar as she cleansed it.. holding her hand firmly around it as she rubbed the full length of each steel bar. Dipping it in the warm water as needed . Eris took a dry rep cloth to shine each steel bar.. working her way around all four sides of the cage. Lowering herself to her knees eris began to scrub the floor of the cage. The muscles of her slender arms began to tighten just below her shoulders but she continued to work until she finished. Not wanting anything to get in the way of her finishing her chore. Girl knew there would be many more that would enter the cages, so she wanted to make sure they had been given the proper care. She moved to the edge of the doorway and hopped out, landing on the balls of her feet.. her tiny toes sinking into the plush rug.

'eris bent at the waist, then lowering herself into a low squat to clean the base of the cage..wiping the marble surface down on all four sides, it was dustier under here than she had imagined. eris began to hum a soft slow tune as she worked....she polished the Schendi emblems with a dry cloth making sure there were no streaks on the surface. She stood to her feet... then said a short prayer to the Priest Kings for the wisdom and knowledge of the girls who would cross this threshold.....

she moved to the second cage and repeated the process.. making sure both cages would be clean for their usage...

Breakfast For The Free

the sun was barely over the horizon when girls sable eyes popped open. she sat up in her furs.. pushing them down around her ankles. a wide yawn came from her mouth as she stretched her slender arms wide. it was time to rise and make her way to the Grand Hall before the Free would begin to awake. having taken her bath the night before she gathered a clean rep cloth to wash her pretty little face, then threw on presentable pair of silks so she could begin to do her chores...

once dressed she moved quickly out the door...in a fast pace, her feet padding against the hardened dirt as she walked the trail leading to the Grand Hall. today she would fix the breakfast for the Free...girl isn't much of a cook, but wanted to try her hand at making breakfast. as petrified as she was of birds.. eris stopped at the vulo coupe to gather fresh eggs before entering the Grand Hall.. she opened the gate and stepped inside.. hearing the cackling of the birds as she entered..she took a scoop of feed and scattered it on the ground.. the hens immediately left their roost and began to eat the grain. girl lifted the front of her silk to make a quick basket to gather the eggs in..picking them up one by one then moved outside the coup, the vulo's were pecking away at their feed.

stopping short of the rear entrance girl found a small basin that was used for outside chores. she filled it with water then washed the eggs before entering the Grand Hall...upon entering the kitchen she took the eggs and laid them on the counter... then brushed her silks back in place as she moved across the floor to wash her hands.. girl gather the spices she'd need before going to the cool storage room to retrieve the remainder of the ingredients. she threw some dry wood on the stove fire.. to keep it burning hot on the inside of the oven and under the hearth

reaching her dainty hand to the knob...she opened the door to the cool storage room, keeping a list in her head of what her breakfast would consist of...she needed to retrieve three pounds of sliced smoked bosk, flour, lard, and verr milk. while there eris checked the kantharo's filled with fresh juices.. there was fresh ramberry juice, fresh larma, the red fruit similar to an earth apple. with her arms filled she moved quickly up the upstairs, then laid all of the ingredients out on the cupboard counter.

first she began to prepare the biscuits.. she took the lard and worked it into the flour with a bit of water until her dough was light and fluffy.. she sprinkled some dry flour on the counter then covered the dough with flour before rolling it out.. girl used a round wooden cup to roll out her dough then turned it on the open end to press it into the cup making perfectly round biscuits.. eris oiled the a flat pan then dipped the biscuits in the oil and turned them.. lining them all up in the pan...girl didn't place them in the oven until the slices of smoked bosk and vulo eggs were cooking..

she washed her hands cleaning them from the sticky flour. she then started to prepare the smoked bosk, frying it in the flat iron skillets.. the aroma began to fill the Grand Hall. girl loved the smell of fresh smoked meat...while the meat was cooking she filled a kettle of water and sat it on the fire, quickly ground some blackwine beans, then tied them in a rep cloth and let it come to a boil.. once the bosk meat had almost finished cooking, girl broke most of the eggs into a clay bowl.. added some verr milk then whisked them to a nice fluffy blend...she covered the bottom of another iron pan with oil, let it heat on the fire then placed them into skillet... she worked them round and round into the skillet until the liquid egg became formed.. everything looked delicious... she pulled the biscuits from the oven.. and spread a light coat of verr butter over the top...

she placed the scrambled vulo eggs into a white porcelain bowel and sliced smoked boss on a matching platter...retrieved the kantharo's of juice from the cool storage room then pulled enough linen cloths for the Free... as she looked things over.. she thought.. geesh!!!.. girl forgot the verr butter and the ramberry jelly... she quickly retrieved them both then waited for the Free to arrive.............

Her Mistress Bath

the evening was nigh and Her Mistress would soon be ready to retire for the evening. girl had finished her daily chores of the meal, the nightly cleaning and care for the animals. She now needed to prepare a relaxing evening for Her Mistress. entering her chambers, girl had gathered her pretty blue lace gown with matching robe and stretched it out across her bed, then placed a pair of slippers at the edge of her bed. she then gathered some bath oils, soap, scented candles and talender flowers. She placed the flowers into a vase to fill the room with a fresh scent.

girl then took a rep cloth and wiped out the inside of Her Mistress tub, then started a cycle of hauling warm water to fill the tub... she filled the tub right at half full, then placed two other barrels along with two wash pans opposite the side of which Her Mistress would use to step inside the tub. to keep the water warm, girl had placed heated lava rocks in each barrel.

as girl was finishing the preparations for Her Mistress, she heard the door screeching as it opened..and a sweet voice that followed.. "good evening mine, is my bath ready?"..a bright smile formed on her face as girl then answered, Yes Mistress your bath is ready.. Her Mistress turned so that her back was facing girl.. eris lifting her hands to the collar of her dress, began to open her dress button, by button. Mistress slipped the dress from her shoulders and stepped out of it.. eris bent to the floor where she knelt to remove her slippers then continued to kneel for Mistress to stable herself while stepping into the oval trough like tub...

Her Mistress sleek frame, slowly melted into the warm bath. Sighs of released tension escaped her lips as she settled into the warm water. Her Mistress caramel skin was flawless.. as She laid with her head at the edge of the tub, girl began to remove the pins from her hair.. her waves of raven tresses fell along the outer edge of the tub. girl filled the two wash pans with warm water so she could wash her Mistress hair. Wetting her hair from the roots to the ends then applying the soap.. eris spread her slender fingers and worked up a lather as she washer her mistress Hair.. once the suds were clear.. girl rinsed it thoroughly with the pan of warm water.. Her Mistress laid their quietly with her eyes closed, not even batting a lash..eris dried her Mistress hair with a clean cloth, then combed through her long flowing locks...it would soon dry be the heat of night...

As Mistress laid quietly in total relaxation, girl lathered a cloth and began to wash her flawless skin. She was truly an image of beauty. As she washed along her neck, shoulders, slender arms, around her ample breast. then down her petite belly she uttered not a word... as eris reached her tiny feet she lathered the cloth and with tender care ran it over the tops and bottoms of her feet.. she then heard Her Mistress.. say.. ohhhh.. mine... she glanced up at Mistress and could see the smile on her face as she rubbed what was her aching her feet. girl spoke in a soft tone as she could tell Her Mistress was enjoying her bath.. "girl could feel how tense Her Mistress was"...she said.. "Yes Mine...You always sense when I need to relax"...girl responded .. "Yes Mistress.. it is girls duty to know her Mistress needs"...she laid in the tub for awhile longer... then stood while girl rinsed her with the remaining barrels of water..gently pouring it over her bare skin....

Mistress stepped from the tub.. her body glistening as the moonlight shined through the window on the beads of water that formed on her skin...after girl helped her to dry off, she moved to her bedding where her gown laid. While She put on her gown, girl moved to the head of her bedding to turn down the covering.. then gave her pillows a good fluffing...Mistress decided she had some scrolls to read over before blowing out her oil lamps.. girl took the liberty to fill the lamps with oil before being dismissed and wishing Her Mistress a good night...

Welcoming Master Home

after hearing that Master Warrior had returned, girl wanted to do her part in welcoming Him home. she scurried over to His quarters.. to see what needed to be done. approaching the entrance she feel to her knees and kissed where He may have walked the rose to her feet.. placing her dainty hand against the wooden door and knocked three times.. she waited a few ehns then pushed the door open .. she stuck her head inside the door and yelled out , "Master are you home?".. it is eris.. not hearing a returning voice, girl entered the chambers as Master had given her permission to be in His home if He was away on business, and Mistress had given her approval to prepare for His homecoming.

skipping across the floor, girl made her way to the kitchen. her onyx tresses bouncing up and down on her back. she entered the cool storage area of Masters home. her sable eyes dancing all about the room, looking for something Master would enjoy eating when He arrived home. girl found some sliced bosk steaks, a few suls, a kort and some fresh katch for a salad...and a bottle of Schendi's fine Palm wine.

carefully building a fire in the hearth so it would burn just right. she wanted the bosk steaks to cook nice and slow, and be tender enough to melt in Masters mouth. eris wasn't to familiar with Masters kitchen, but knew she should be due to Master wanting her Mistress as His Free Companion. they both had waited patiently, but girl had seen the attraction that had grown between them.. *grins*

she peeled suls then brought them to a boil.. once they were soft.. she added some verr butter, milk, then mashed them. she whipped them up to a light fluffy texture.. she sliced some fresh kort and melted fresh verr cheese then sprinkled some fresh nutmeg over it. the last thing to do was to toss a quick katch salad and Masters dinner would be ready for His arrival. she set the table for two, placing each dish, silverware and goblet in it's proper place. girl knew Master had a sweet tooth, but she wasn't one who knew how to bake, but thought Master would find something to satisfy His sweet tooth after dinner if the kort wasn't enough.....

just as she finished preparing Masters meal, she heard the door open, followed by the sound of heavy foot steps walking across the floor....then a deep voice calling out.. "who's here"? excited when she heard Masters voice she ran from the kitchen holding a bottle of Palm wine in her hand, "Welcome home Master!!". He stood there and chuckled.. then inhaled sniffing His nose.. then said "girl you've got it smelling gooooooooood in here!!...girl simply smiled and said thank You Master...then both turned towards the door after hearing a loud knocking... as girl opened the door she heard the loud voice of her Mistress... "Tenriiiiiiiiikkkkkkk!!" then Masters voice followed... Bellaaaaaa! girls sable eyes sparkled as she watched them. she closed the door, then waited for dinner to be served............

Milking the Verr

as the sun beamed through the windows she her sable eyes opened. she balled her tiny hands up into a loose fist and began to rub her eyes..wiping away the sleep. girl sat up in her bed yawning and stretching wide before placing her tiny feet to the floor. she fluffed her hair then slipped on a simple work camisk to do her morning chore. girl needed to hurry so she wouldn't be milking in the heat of the day.

making her way from her kennel she entered the gate of the barnyard and began to gather the items she would need to complete her chore. as she opened the door to the barn.. her sable eyes slowly danced around the barn until she found a pail to squirt the milk into. eris washed the empty pail thoroughly then wiped it with a dry rep cloth..

she then looked to find a feeder to attach to the milking stand. she filled it with a mixture of grain and grape vine leaves, breaking the leaves and filling it to the rim with both. she fetched a pail of boiling water, that she had also boiled the rep cloths in, then diluted it with equal parts cold water. the verrs which were used for milking were kept in a stall by themselves.. her tiny feet glided quickly across the barn floor moving her slender body to that area of the barn. she had watched her sisters do this before, but had never put her hand to the test. this being her first attempt ..eris was nervous and wanted to do it right. at first she thought she should get her sister gin to help her since she was more familiar with the farm animals, but decided to do it alone. what would she do if the verr tried to kick her, or put her foot in the pail? she took a deep breath and tried not to panic.

opening the gate she stepped inside, slowly extending her hand to touch one of the female verrs to make it aware she was standing close by. eris placed her finger in the ring of the collar then hooked a leash to the ring. this allowed her to lead the verr to the feeding stand. with ease she locked the verr's head in between the bars..once it was secured she took the warmed water and sterilized rep cloth and began to wash down the udder and teats . she did this for three reasons, 1) it obviously removes dirt, loose hair and piece of manure clinging on. 2) the warmth relaxes the verr and helps with milk letdown, 3) udder massage causes the release of oxytocin, triggering milk letdown.

she rubbed the verrs side them trying to keep her calm. she closed her eyes then opened them slowly.. then began to talk herself into it.. ok eris her we go....

she placed the bucket on the stand, slightly in front of her udder, then wrapped her thumb and forefinger around the base of the teat tightly enough to trap the milk inside the teat. she began to squeeze with her middle finger, then her ring finger, and then her pinky, in one smooth, successive motion. eris kept a tight grip on the base of the teat, to keep the milk from slipping back up into the udder. she aimed the first squeeze of the teat away from the bucket as she had seen her sister do. she jumped in surprise that the milk squirted out on the first squeeze, landing on the ground. eris was doing it, after the first squeeze she aimed the milk towards the bucket.. and repeated it over and over until the utter was pretty much empty.. she could help but laugh, much to her surprise she did it..

once she had finished milking the verr, eris rubbed an ointment on their utters and teats..this was to keep bacteria from forming on their teats. girl wanted to do everything she could to keep the verrs healthy. this was her first time doing this and she wanted to do it right. she grabbed the verr's collar and unclipped the stanchion, before leading each one back to their pen, giving each one a nice scratch underneath her chin. eris repeated this until all of the verr's had been milked. this was a great accomplishment for her. her hands and her forearms ached.. but she completed her chore.

after milking and putting the verrs back into their cage, she took the milk to the cool storage room where it would be stored until it was ready for use.

Vulo Soup For Her Mistress

it was early evening before dinner as they sat around the grand hall, laughing and talking. her Mistress, and others of Schendi. girl noticed her Mistress wasn't quite herself or at least not feeling well. her Mistress coughed and coughed...eris noticed how deep and dry the cough was. she looked up at her Mistress as she knelt by her side and spoke to her in a soft caring voice. “may girl get you anything Mistress?”... between her coughing she said.. some vulo soup would be nice mine....eris immediately stood to her feet and made her way to the kitchen......

not being the best of cooks, she tried to remember how her grandmother used to make it while she was on earth..the animal closest to what she knew to the vulo would be the good ol' chicken, girl always felt better after a bowl of chicken noodle soup. she took a deep breath and decided to go for it...she made her way to the cool storage room to fetch a vulo. each day at Schendi there were fresh vulo stored in the storage room..propping the door open with a tall stick she looked inside to see if she could find vulo, lard, flour, eggs, and some special spices to give it a good flavor.. girl would only refer to them as being special spices if it turned out to taste good...

low and behold she found everything she needed then returned upstairs to the main floor...she washed her hands in the basin then moved to the kitchen sink to wash the vulo, making sure it was plenty clean for her Mistress. she filled a kettle full of water placing it on the stove.. then she added the vulo and those special spices, letting it all come to a boil. while the vulo was cooking, eris made her noodles, she mixed her flour eggs, lard, water, and salt to a smooth texture, then rolled them out to a thin dough. she then cut them in small strips so she could drop them in the water when it was time.

after girl had prepared the noodles she lifted the top of the kettle that held the vulo. it had cooked up real tender... girl took a fork and began to pull the chicken from the bone... once it was fully de-boned she dropped the noodles down into the water. she let them cook until they we a tender texture. the aroma of fresh vulo noodle soup had begun to fill the hall.

girl washed her hands and dried them thoroughly before she moved to the cabinet that held the bowls. she pulled forth a nice soup bowl, and a tall glass, checking them for imperfections along her tender skin, then washed and dried them. they sparkled just like her Mistress eyes when she looked at master. eris moved back to the boiling pot, lifting the lid. a smile crossed her face as she looked in. she took a clean spoon and dipped it into the broth of the soup, tasting it. this is one time she was glad she paid attention to her grandmother's cooking...mmmm mmm. she dipped a bowl of soup for her Mistress and sat on a shiny silver tray, then quickly ran to the cool storage room to fill the glass with cool ramberry juice. juices are also good for a cold and she knew her Mistress loved ramberry juice.

eris sat the glass on the tray the made her way from the kitchen and across the room. her slave bells rang a soft jingle as she made her way back to her Mistress feet. she sat the tray down on the floor, then lifted the bowl above her head saying a slave prayer for her Mistress health, then placed it to her belly to show the fire within, then to her heart holding it for three beats to show her desire to serve, then kissed the side of the bowl to show her love for her Mistress. she died the same with the ramberry juice before setting them both back to the tray. she then lifted the tray across her Mistress lap and held it steady while she enjoyed her soup and her ramberry juice...

Sharing her Vulo Soup with Ubar

*grins..after hearing her Ubar likes Vulo noodle soup, girl runs to the kitchen to fetch a portion of the soup she had prepared.. she dipped some of the hot soup into a small kettle, filling it to share with her Ubar. girl wrapped a few rep cloths around the pot to keep it warm, then headed to the Main Hall to deliver the soup...

she made her way quickly down the dirt path leading to Grand Hall. her tiny feet padding so quick she it stirred the dust below her. eris was excited to bring her Ubar something that she had not only prepared herself, but something she knew they would enjoy. she climbed the stairs to the Grand Hall, hoping that they would be present. She knelt at the entrance, setting the kettle down beside her. she leaned forward and held her slender arms outstretched and crossed at the wrist, kissing the cool tile where the Free had walked then asked if girl eris could enter... *the deep voice of her Ubar echoed across the room*.. yes girl you may enter..

*as eris rose to her feet her silks fell against her frame, she tossed her onyx tresses over her shoulder, then picked up the kettle that was still wrapped in rep cloths*. she then moved to her Ubars feet.. and greeted Him respectfully. she knelt with her thighs splayed, then bowed deep to kiss His feet with her open lips. each kiss seemed to linger at each foot. raising her upper torso her hips cradled on her feet. eris kept her sparkling brown eyes cast down to the floor as she spoke "Greetings her Ubar, girl has brought You some of her Vulo noodle soup". *He chuckled and rubbed His chin* then said "You did now".. girl said.. "yes her Ubar, May she get You a bowl? He then said.. "Indeed girl.. bring Me a bowl of that soup"..

Happy to serve Her Ubar, she rose to her feet and moved quickly to the kitchen in front of the stove, where she removed the rep cloths from the kettle. there was another kettle of black wine simmering on the stove so eris set it aside and let the soup reheat while she washed her hands and fetched a bowl for her Ubars soup and a tall crystal glass. she checked the bowl and glass by turning the edge of each along the tender side of her breast, not finding any chips or cracks in either she washed them first in soapy water then rinsed them before drying them thoroughly.. she pulled a silver tray, and some silverware from the cupboard then took a clean rep cloth and wiped them down bringing each to a sparkling shine. eris began to hum a simple slave tune as she worked in the kitchen.. she retrieved some verr cheese from the cool storage room that had been cut in chunks. she separated them and placed them on a dish along with some unleavened bread.. she dipped a bowl of soup filling it almost to the rim.. *allowing enough room for it not to spill*... eris carefully placed it all on the tray along with the crystal glass and a kantharos full of cold fresh stream water.. and headed back to the Main Room of the Hall..

once again she knelt properly before her Ubar, placing the tray by her side she lifted the kantharos tilting it far enough to pour a glass full of fresh stream water. she pressed the tips of her fingers to the side of the bowl, then lifted it to her belly to show the fire within, then held it to her heart to show her desire to serve, then kissed the side of the bowl to show her love for her Ubar, eris sat the bowl back to the tray and did the same with the glass of water then sat it back to the tray... she lifted the tray above her head, letting the aroma of her Vulo soup stream upward towards her Ubars nostrils, she smiled and said.. "Your Vulo soup Ubar, girl hopes You enjoy"..."May girl hold the tray while You eat Ubar?.. he looked everything over and said "Yes girl".. she lowered her arms holding the tray while she waited for Him to take the first spoon full..then as the silence broke she heard Him say.. "Damn girl this is some good soup".. she let out a deep breath of relief, Happy that the soup was pleasing to her Ubar. eris sat quietly with a huge smile on her face, until her Ubar had finished eating the soup, cheese and bread..

Once Ubar finished eating, Master Warrior entered the Hall to discuss the rescue of her Ubara. Her Ubar dismissed her to greet Master Warrior then return to the kitchen to clean the dishes and the kettle that held the soup. she put everything away and set the kettle of blackwine back on the fire.

Cleaning the Kitchen

it's mid day and lunch has been served to the Free. girl eris's duties for the afternoon would be to clear the tables and clean the kitchen. it was the heat of the day and as girl began her work. as eris moved from table to table gathering the dishes from each.... she could feel beads of sweat starting to form at her temples and slowly roll down the sides of her face, and down her back.... murmuring to herself she said.. "it certainly is a hot one today.." *wiping her forehead with the back of her forearm*...

after carrying all the dishes to the kitchen, eris scraped off the scraps of food that wasn't eaten into a barrel..she separated each dish and utensil of the same kind into different stacks, before she carried in pails of hot water filling the two barrels to wash the dishes.. she added a heaping cup of soap flakes to the first barrel, she worked from right to left...

starting with the glasses.. she dipped them into the soapy water.. then pushed the rep cloth to the inside.. moving it round and round to each glass.. then placed it over the rim to clean any juice, wine or saliva from the rim of where the Free would place their lips. girl washed all of the glasses, goblets .. drinking vessels, then rinsed and dried them with a clean rep cloth, before placing the utensils in the water to be washed...

while putting away the drinking vessels eris let the utensils soak for a bit to let the dried food work it's way loose. once she finished putting the drinking vessels away in the cupboard, she began to wash the knives, forks, and spoons.. and being very careful with the knives, she kept a rep cloth around them to keep from touching any of the surface. As the water began to cool eris went to the boiling kettle just outside the door to fetch more water. it is important to keep the temperature of the waters hot, to keep the dishes and utensils sanitized. she rinsed them in a barrel of hot water, then dried them all to a sparkling shine.

one by one she lowered the plates into the barrel. taking the soapy rep cloth and washed the face of each plate, then around the edges, then the back of each one. For certain this was a good meal as most of the plates had nothing remaining on them. sister gin had proven herself over and over to be a good cook, and girl could see how much the Free enjoyed her meals.. as she washed the dishes and goblets.. eris was sure to check them all for any imperfections before placing them into their proper places..

then last but not least girl washed the heavy kettles. someone had been nice enough to let them soak which made this ones job much easier.. she took a wirery pad and scraped the sides of the kettles.. then washed and rinsed them thoroughly.. she dried them off then coated each with a light coat of oil to keep them from rusting.

once all the dishes, utensils and cooking vessels had been cleaned, eris filled a pail with a water and added a few soapy flakes into it.. then retrieved a clean rep cloth .. she wiped down the counters, the stove, and each table in the cafeteria.. making everything nice and neat before the next meal was to be served.

by the time eris finished her chore, her little slave camisk was soaked.. she took one last look around to make sure everything was in order, then emptied out the barrels and washed them out, then turned them upside down to dry.. it was now time for her to head back to her Mistress quarters to see if there was anything that needed to be done there...

Cleaning The Ceremonial Whipping Post and Branding Bench

hearing the sound of the vuloes crowing and the chicks cackling girl eris's sparkling brown eyes pop open. excited about the day and what it would bring she threw on a camisk and made her way to the Great Schendi Hall. Today would be the official ceremony of her sister beauti and all that could come, would be there to welcome her into the city.

it had been a few weeks since the last ceremony so, girl hurried and grabbed some cleaning supplies so she could tidy up the Great Hall. she made mixture of half olive oil and half larma juice to polish the furniture. she shook it up really good, making sure it was mixed well before applying it to a clean rep cloth. eris wiped down the window seals, the thrones, the blocks, the wood on the chairs, the rails that led to the upstairs.

before polishing the whipping post and branding bench girl took her time to wash each one down with hot soapy water. her sister would have open wounds once the whip tore her flesh. while moving her slender arms up and down the full length of the whipping post washing it carefully, there were flash backs of the time this slut had her day of becoming a Schendi citizen. with delicate hands she poured the mixture on the rep cloth and wiped down the wood to restore it's shine.

after thinking about it eris decided to wash the branding bench down and not polish it, due to the larma juice that was in the mixture. the citrus juice would more than likely sting her sisters back once she laid against it for the branding. after all was clean she moved the last thing she needed to do was build a fire in the pit that held the irons. the fire needed to be hot.

eris lined the pit evenly with logs and coal before adding a kerosene like mixture over the pile. she waited a few ehns while letting it soak into the wood and coals before striking a match. holding the match in her hand then with once quick toss. poooofffffff! the fire was on it's way to getting hot..she let it burn while she finished tidying up the Great Hall..

soon everyone would be arriving for the big event of the morning.. girl carefully placed the branding irons onto the fire so they would be ready for her Ubara when the came for their use.

After Ceremony Cleaning

hours after the events of the day, eris decided to walk back to the Grand Hall. slowly opening the heavy wooden door, leaning her petite weight against it... pushing it open far enough for her to slip through. once again her tone thighs folding to lower herself to her knees in submission and kiss where the Free had walked. the guard at the door allowed her to enter as she rose to her feet. her soft silks slid down the curves of her hips and thighs as she stood tall. eris thanked the guard and moved further into the Grand Hall.

while walking through the Hall girl took a deep breath.. she could still smell the foul odor of burning flesh lingering in the air. turning on the balls of her tiny feet her long legs taking long strides to reach the storage room of the Grand Hall.. she gathered buckets, hand shovel, soapy water in one of the buckets.. with her hands full she made her way to the branding pit. lowering herself to set these supplies down..

eris began to shovel the remains of the charred logs and coals from the pit .... but for the most part, the logs and coals had turned to ashes. using the hand shovel eris scooped all of it out, then took them outside to dump them. with a clean rep cloth she then washed down the pit using the warm soapy water. looking down at her nails, they would certainly need some attention when she finished. the black suet from the ashes had started to set around the edges of her nails as she cleaned the pit.

before cleaning the irons girl would have to clean the buckets and refill one with fresh soapy water and a second bucket with water and a sterilizer it. holding an iron in each hand girl realized they were heavier than she thought. her Ubara was definitely a strong woman to handle these in such a tactful manner. after letting the irons soak for bit, she raised them from the water and began scrubbing them one by one, first the brand of the kef, then the Schendi brand, and last but not least the BBC brand. the irons were once again smooth and free of any burnt flesh or foreign objects. before putting them away, eris rubbed them down with olive oil to keep them from rusting and as her slender fingers moved along the edges of each one, she said the slave prayer for the girl that had just been branded and the next one to come...

Allow girl the strength to answer questions she can not fathom.
Allow girl the spirit to know His needs.
Allow girl the serenity to serve Him in peace.
Allow girl the love to show Him herself.
Allow girl the tenderness to comfort Him.
Allow girl wisdom to be an asset to Him.

Let girl be able to show Him each day her love of her service to Him.
Let girl open herself up too completely belong to Him.
Let girl accept her punishment with the grace of a woman.
Let girl learn to please Him, beyond herself.

Grant girl the power to give herself to Him completely.
Give girl the strength to please them both.

Permit girl to love herself, in loving Him.
For it is her greatest wish, her highest power,
to make His life complete
as He makes hers.

Rotating the Barrels, and Replenishing the Racks

With the upcoming celebration of My Mistress and Master, it was time to stock the wines, and check the barrels to see if they needed to be rotated out. checking first the inventory of wines, both Palm Wine and Ka-la-na Wines as she took a clean rep cloth wiping the dust from the bottles as she rotated them upward on the rack. according to the empty spaces eris would need to replace eight of the bottles Palm Wine and three of the bottles of Ka-la-na Wine.

eris moved around to the bar where an extra case of warm wines were stored. she pulled the eight bottles of Palm Wine and three bottles of Ka-la-na Wine and wiped each one of them down, bringing each to a sparkling shine before putting it on the racks. she would have to bring a new case of Palm Wine up from storage, as this was the last of the case.

her tiny feet moved quickly to where the barrels of Paga, Sul Paga, Mead, Ale and Rence Beer were placed. placing her slender fingers around the rim eris lifted each barrel, to gauge how much remained and to determine how many would have to be replaced. the Sul Paga, Mead and Ale were still quite full, so they were fine. however, the Paga and Rence Beer needed to be rotated out.

the barrels that were about empty, girl tipped them forward and pulled the spout forward to drain the remains in the pan below. eris gripped each one by the palms of her hands to balance herself, carrying each out to the storage shed. they would be sent back when the next shipment arrived. not being a very big girl, eris had to push the replacement barrels of Paga and Rence Beer to the edge of each rack that held them without letting it fall off. once she had them far enough to the edge, she bent lightly, stooping low enough to place it on her back and give it a piggy back ride back up the stairs. trying not to stumble, raising with her back still at an angle as she had the barrel of Paga on her back. climbing the steps slowly taking one at a time, eris placed her feet flat to each step, her slave bells jingled then stopped, as she placed her foot to each step until she reached the upper level. reaching the rack she turned around and slid the barrel from her back about half way to give it some support before turning and pushing it onto the rack.

she took a deep breath and rested for a moment before moving to the other side of Celebration Hall. her hips swaying like the waves of the Thassa on a calm day. she gathered the vases, filling the with water and fresh Talendar flowers to bring a fresh scent to the hall. placing the tip of her nose to the edge of the flowers she inhaled deeply to take in the smell that was so refreshing. looking around one last time, her full lips curled into a smile. happy to see the hall was ready for her Mistress and Master.....

Filling the Vases With Fresh Flowers

entering the Grand Hall she looked around to see what needed to be done. It appeared the girls had tidied up on last night before leaving. eris moved around the room slowly, taking in all that needed to be done. The heavy cleaning had been finished before girl arrived, leaving her to do the dusting and filling the vases with fresh flowers.

eris moved around in the room quickly, gathering the vases and loading them in her. she pushed the door open far enough for her slip into the kitchen, where she sat the vases on the counter. she began pulling the wilting flowers from the vases, before emptying the stale water. once the vases were empty, she rinsed them out with soapy water then rinsed them with clear spring water, before stepping outside into the flower garden. quickly she began to cut fresh flowers, placing them into a half moon shaped basket.

once the basket was half filled she returned to the kitchen.. gripping each vase by the neck, she moved to the barrels and began to fill each one about half way with fresh water. adding a good mixture of long and short stem flowers. the scents of fresh flowers began to fill the kitchen. there were dina's, talendars, and verminium thentis. each one adding the perfect scent into the room.

once the vases had been replenished with fresh flowers, eris began to gather them once again into her arms..being as careful as she could so none would drop and break. she sniffed each vase of flowers before setting them back onto each table. she was pleased with each arrangement.
