The next day when Deva got into car Noel started the car and was about to drive when they heard Siva and saw her running outside and got into the car panting "Drop me at the temple" and leaned back taking deep breaths.
"Why? I thought you have to go to receive the shipment" Noel said making her nod as she drank the water.
"I will go there but a bit late. Yesterday the king invited us all to the Devi Pooja so we've to attend it" Siva explained making Noel nod.
"I don't believe in god" Deva said making her look at him and say "But you believe in your mother right" which made him look at her with narrowed eyes as Noel drove off the villa towards the temple.
There are many people who's attending the pooja and the royal family was already present sitting in the pooja the king showering flowers over Devi maa idol along with his wife Rani Meenakshi Devi while poojari gaaru chanted mantras.
Once the assistant saw Deva he greeted them and asked them to stand beside the other royal family members and introduced them to each and everyone. He looked around and saw Hima coming towards them in a beautiful yet simple kurti and paused her stride for a second seeing him but came and stood beside Siva.
"Hello! I'm Dr. Hima" she introduced herself making Siva nod and smile and greeted back politely "Siva as you know I work for Mr.Deva" making her nod continuing "You know I thought you are his wife for a second back there yesterday" which made Siva look at her and laughed out loud gaining others attention.
"No way. The thought itself is funny if you ask me" Siva said still controlling her laugh as she looked at the rituals done by the royal couple with determination.

"Sorry" Hima said for her absurd thoughts and they heard poojari gaaru "Raja vaaru please call the daughter of the house to give aahuti for ammavaru" making Rani Meenakshi Devi look around and gave a look to Hima who nodded.
"Would you like to join me in search of my cousin?" Hima asked making Siva nod and follow her searching for the daughter of the King in the crowded place.
"Gayatri Devi we've been searching for you and here you are playing with kids you are needed for the pooja" Hima sternly said seeing her cousin Gayatri who was on a tree plucking the custard apples for the kids.
"One minute vadina(aunt's daughter)" saying she took the last custard apple and jumped down the tree and set her skirt properly before smiling at them and nodded "Let's go" and followed them.
Once they reached pooja she smiled and apologized "Forgive me for being late let's begin poojari gaaru" making everyone smile at her calmness and gentleness in her voice as Deva looked at her once he heard her name.
"Gayatri take these and give the aahuti" saying the king handed the red cloth to his daughter who took it and prayed before throwing it in the homa gundam while the disciples rang the bells in the temple making everyone joined their hands and pray to ammavaaru.
"Ayya! Please tell your names and gotram whoever wants an archana" poojari gaaru informed everyone making Raja varu and his wife stand up from the pooja.
" Veerabhadra Raayala,Narsimha Raayala, Meenakshi Devi Raayala, Gayatri Devi Raayala,Maha Rudra Raayala: Shivadi gotram" the king completed their family members names and gotram for archana.
The poojari gaaru repeated the names and gotram after abhishekam and looked at Siva who stood beside royal family making everyone think that she's important and looked at her as she stood dumbly for a second before saying "Radhakrishna Paritala, Deva Paritala: Cherukunulla gotram" making everyone look at her.

8 46181The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)
