Training in a forest cave

Arasinya blushed as well as she slowly removed her gown to reveal her naked body bathed in the moonlight. She watched as the older priestesses removed their gowns and headed to their position in the ritual. Then she turned around to see the other girls looking so nervous and unsure of their bodies. Arasinya would smile to the girl and say, "Do not worry, we're still growing up and I believe that your and the others' bodies are perfect. So perfect that any man would want to marry you."

Morwen watched her sisters and admired them greatly for their skills. She is hoping to be at their level or even better someday, all to make her Mother proud though she might not give her her son. She only sighed as she closed her eyes to rest.

When everyone is in position the high priestess will say to the band" begin the music as she says to the dancers " let the music guide your dance steps and get lost in the music and enjoy the bonding we will be doing." The Band begins to play each musician's instrument flowing with each other while the priestess begin their part of the dance as the younger priestesses start their part. The high priestess motions for Maya to join her in the center as she begins her part in a sweeping motion scooping a sword as she begins to dance with it. Maya mimics her motion picking up the sword that was left for her as they both begin swing them in time with the music neither blade touching the other. The girls follow the high priestess advice and get lost in the music completely forgetting that they are now dancing in the nude with strangers with some men just behind a barrier playing the music for the.

The sisters spar for at least 30 more mins before the Matron mother calls for them to stop which they slow to stop after the other sister has her turn. They go to their spots to lay down and rest for the night as the Matron mother goes to her spot to rest for the evening.

Arasinya would keep dancing with the girls, smiling and encouraging them to do their best. She would also be intrigued by the priestesses' sword dance and it looked difficult. Perhaps she can learn it sometime.

Meanwhile, Genevieve would keep watch over her daughter and the girls while Xerxan played his music.

Morwen would sleep as the sisters were finished with their spar and they all went to sleep as well. She knew that tomorrow she was going back to the web, but she was still determined to make her family proud of her. She hopes one day her mother would smile and say that she loves her, she just needs to keep trying.

The dance goes on for some time all the dancers bodies start glisten from sweat while one unknown dancer seems to move between the dancer easily being the most beautiful of all the drow. Most of the drow dancers barely notice the newcomer who joined their dance as she just blended right in while the other guards notice her, but give Genevieve a signal not to bother her. She vanishes as quick as she appeared not even ten minutes later all the dancers hair turns a wonder shade of silver as everyone starts to slow down as the guards start to pass out cups of water to each of the dancers as they all start talking and the younger girls giggling about how nervous they were before the dance.

When Arasinya saw how the dancers' hair turned a shade of silver, she wondered if the same happened to her. Thanking the guard for the cup of water, she would drink and hug the other girls, saying, "Oh, you were magnificent!"

Genevieve was proud of her daughter and Xerxan for playing so well, but knowing Arasinya would be uncomfortable being naked as soon as she realizes it, she would ask Maya if the girls can wear their clothes again.

The high priestess says " yes we need so our wonderful musicians can head back with their instruments unless you don't mind them seeing you undressed." The other girls gasp realizing the priestess is right about some men being just a few feet away from them rush over some fighting to grab a gown so they can cover up. The other priestess giggle and wait till the younger priestess are dressed before collecting their own gowns. Maya and the high priestess get dress last as the younger priestess dash off to head home not wanting the men to see them. The high priestess asks Arasinya and Genevieve" how did you both enjoy the dance ritual which ended with a wonderful addition person most of the others probably didn't feel her during the dance, but I did?" The other older priestesses walk past saying " thanks for joining us for the dance you did wonderful even though this probably was all brand new to you, and I hope you join us again."

Arasinya herself got to dress herself up in a more calm and collective manner before hugging a few of the girls goodbye.

When Maya came over to ask her and her mother what they thought of the dance, Arasinya would respond, "I loved it and it was great to see many new friends joining in on the celebration. Though I still feel a little strange being naked, I enjoyed it."

Genevieve nodded and added, "Oh yes, thank you so very much and we would be honored to come by again soon."

The girls that Arasinya hugs will hug her back before heading home to their families still not wanting the men to see them in the gowns. The high priestess says before Maya can " you both are welcome to return for our next festival and your younger friends that came with are welcome too the inn keeper said they had their own mini ritual that got blessed by our lady just as she blessed our dance ritual." Maya adds " I will be sure to send word to you when it is closer to the next big festival is closer" as she also add" you seemed intrigued by the sword dance we did in the center."

Genevieve was surprised to hear that Kentis and Gwen had their own ritual. "Oh, they did? What did they do?"

Arasinya would nod in understanding before saying, "Yes, I am! You seem so precise yet graceful when you swing your swords without clashing at all. I too learned a lot on sword fighting."

The inn keeper used magic to let the kids hear the music we were using and they started their own dance not sure about anymore of the details about it except they had fun and earned our ladies blessing like we did." Maya brings the sword she used to Arasinya to examine to show her they used regular sharpened swords instead of dull as she says " dull or sharp as long as the dancers know the dance and perform it properly no one will ever get cut." The other priestess head home as squeals can be heard as they scoop up their sneaky children that couldn't figure out where how to find the ritual grounds even though it was right infront of them. The band leaves too as Xerxan walks up tired, but satisfied with how well he worked with the other members of the band.
