Now, at her first meeting as Queen with her Councilors, much was discussed, much was accomplished. However, the Queen was tired and hungry and only wanted to eat and sleep. During her discourse with her Councilors the Queen's stomach rumbled loudly and some grapes, bread with baked goat cheese was brought for her to eat. Then as she was being informed of the new trade policy with Scythia and Sparta the Queen had actually fallen asleep with her head resting on her hand, elbow on table. It was here that the Queen's Commander Odessa entered the tent, whereupon Queen Thera awoke with a start as the sound of her dear old friends voice filled the space of the crowded chamber. "My Queen!" Odessa said as she bowed deeply to the new Monarch. "All of you have taken too much time away from our Great Queen, here so late in the night!" Odessa spoke standing over the politicians sitting on the long row of benches, clad in her battle gear, hair pulled back, a flash of anger in her eyes as Odessa scolded them for she was upset seeing her Queen so tired and stressed. "Out now all of you!" Odessa unsheathed her sword pointing with it towards the exit. "My Queen I will see to your comfort and rest. Out now! All of you Politicians." here, with grumbled voices, the many of her Councilors and Ambassadors departed, a few not having the chance to present their reports to the Queen and so they would have to try again another day.
"Thank the Gods for you my Commander and dearest friend." Queen Thera exclaimed elated to have Odessa come in when she did. Thera rose from her chair as she went over holding her arms open to her friend and the two embraced, kissing one another on the cheek as a show of love and admiration.
"My Queen, your Military leaders will have an audience with you tomorrow, at your leisure. For now I can report there were no skirmishes or need for battle in your absence. Your troops have been training and are ready to wage war at your pleasure. As for now, your nation and her glorious people have Peace among ourselves and our neighbors. So this is the part of your long journey where you lay your head down and go to sleep, safe in your homeland." Odessa went over parting the long curtains opening up the bedchamber where Queen Thera was eager to fall asleep. However, before she did she paused and said to Odessa "I must arise early and go out to see the King, Vyakles of Sparta. You must insure the men camped to the West and the North are brought out a massive, sumptuous breakfast before their journey home." she paused giving thought to her dear friend Vasha, whom she now felt a tinge of sadness in her heart when thinking of his departure. "As for the Admiral in charge of the King of Sparta's fleet, Admiral Vasha, who is most honorable, handsome and brave, and also my breeding partner." Queen Thera lied to her friend, who smiled brightly believing the Queen had indeed engaged in the fertility season with this Admiral Vasha. "Bring him this ring." the Queen slipped the little golden ring from her left hand, the ring being the sign of admission of entrance back through the gates. She placed the ring, a small token of affection for Vasha, in Odessa's palm and her Commander gave a bright shining smile.
"Excellent news my Queen!" Odessa's face and eyes lit up with the prospect her friend might, finally, conceive. She threw her arms around Thera giving her a great big hug. "Oh, I shouldn't squeeze you so tight." Odessa said releasing her strong embrace. Here she rubbed the Queen's belly; which was a little bloated since the last Odessa had seen her, and when Queen Thera told Odessa how she had begun to have strong cravings for goats milk and honey Odessa took all this as an encouraging sign that Thera was with child. Now, being she had been with the fertile King of Sparta almost every night of her adventure, she was indeed pregnant. Commander Odessa stopped and thought for a moment how terribly sad Thera's mother, Queen Ethera, was unable to live to see her daughter return home. Odessa led her new Queen to the plush, luxuriant bed and saw her to her rest.
"Be sure to wake me when Apollo arises, I must bid farewell to our new friends from Sparta."
"Yes my Queen." Odessa said as she exited the tent extinguishing all the oil lamps, leaving her Queen to the quiet comfort of darkness. However, though she did tend to the list of commands from the Queen, Odessa failed at the most important task and that was to wake the Queen. She deliberately let her sleep as she knew the Queen needed her rest. Commander Odessa further believed seeing her breeding partner, Admiral Vasha, leave might cause some trauma to the Queen's heart and mind. So she let her sleep.
Commander Odessa went out herself, with the women, and met the Spartans and the handsome King Vyakles. Of whom Odessa was thoroughly impressed. She found Admiral Vasha both delightful and intriguing. In a word Odessa's feeling on the matter was, Pleased. She apologized for the absence of her Queen and she could tell all the men were disappointed, for they all held a deep affinity for Queen Thera this made Odessa happy to see the respect and honor the men had for her Queen. After the Spartans were treated to a feast and given presents as tokens of friendship to take home to Sparta, they departed with the knowledge they would return, in one years time, to take home any sons that may have come from a fertile union between the women of Themiscyra and the warriors from Sparta.
Commander Odessa and the women watched as the men sailed back to the massive warships anchored off the coast. As Odessa watched them go she felt in her heart a burning desire to go to Sparta next year for the breeding season to try her luck with these strong, handsome, dangerous men. With this delightful thought Commander Odessa traveled back to Colchise where she sat in the Queen's tent waiting for her to rise. And when she did Queen Thera was beside herself with rage as she screamed at Odessa for not waking her. Odessa was brought to suffer the Queen of Themiscyra's wrath for the Queen was most displeased and heart broken she did not say goodbye to the King and her dear friend Vasha, whom had delivered her and her ladies home safely upon the waters. But it was no matter for the King and his men were gone and it would be one year to the day before King Vyakles and admiral Vasha and the warriors of Sparta would step foot on the shores of Themiscyra. So in the meantime Queen Thera ran her Nation and nourished the twins growing in her womb.
"Thank the Gods for you my Commander and dearest friend." Queen Thera exclaimed elated to have Odessa come in when she did. Thera rose from her chair as she went over holding her arms open to her friend and the two embraced, kissing one another on the cheek as a show of love and admiration.
