Paestum-The Temple of Hera

[Circae]

This scared temple called Paestum. It has pillars surrounding the building with a shallow walkway between the building and the pilliars, where a citizen can take a stroll while getting ready to worship the gods and goddesses. Inside the temple are various statues of Hera, some of Venus and other great goddesses where the women and the low population of men can worship and get advice from the gods.

[Flavia, Priestess of Lesbos]

Flavia walked into the temple...it was time to worship the goddess Aphrodite and she started to get the incenses ready to offer up a sacrifice. She wondered if anyone else was in the temple that she should be aware of, and/or include in her worship.

[Jason]

Jason who walked around, had decided to see the temple of Hera and Aphrodite as to pray he wished to do. Quiet everything were, but inside voices could be heard. When he entered, his eyes sonly got fixed upon a woman that seemed to prepare an offering to the goddess. It made him interesting, cause never had he seen such ritual taking form. Unknown he was, as may times he were not allowed to go on such places. However he went anyway, cause help he needed with his life as a lot were confusing to him.

[Flavia, Priestess of Lesbos]

Flavia's eye caught on something moving, she looked at it and it was the prince, Jason. "Hello my prince, you look down, what can i do to lift your spirts up to the heavens?" she put a stick of incence on the base of the statue of Aphrodite as she waited for an answer.

[Jason]

Jason got a bit surprised when he heard Flavia had noticed his arrival, even she were busy with her own rituals. He smiled in return as he listened to what she said, but slowly and gentle stepped forward to see her better."Hello there priestess, I am just taking a walk around, as usual."He said in a bad sad way, but still smiled a little as he looked at her with interested eyes. She were kind, as she many times had been..but never had he meet her in the temple were she used to pray. It made him curious, thought he did not wish to be in the way if she had things to do.

[Flavia, Priestess of Lesbos]

"Hello my prince, what are you up to today, you look bored/sad, if you want to be left alone then just tell me and you can offer up your prayers if you wish!?!? Or would you like me to stay and comfort you, either way i wish to help you!" She smiled and hoped that he was ok!

[Jason]

"No, don't go. I would like you to stay, I have questions. I wondered if you by the help of gods could help me."Jason said with a kind look as he watched the priestess before her, he thought she looked lovely even she were holy to many. He knew she had done much things in her life that he still did not know, but eagered wished to know. As he stood her close, he watched her deep into the eyes as he saw great love in her for what she worked for. The dress she had one were nicely made as well, and impressed he were a lot by her look.

[Flavia, Priestess of Lesbos]

Flavia's face was radiant, though she caught his eyes looking down to her body, not connecting with her eyes. She took his chin in her hand and lifted it, so she saw his eyes. "You desire me? Or you just want to know who i slept with last night? My prince you rule over me to some extent, but i am the priestess if you wish for me to help you, come clean with it or i shall leave you to your business." She played hard-to-get, but with some restraint because he was the queen's son.

[Jason]

Jason looked at her, but smiled as she came over and touched his cheek. The words she spoke were interesting, cause tough she seemed even a priestess she was. Still he watched her, as he surely desired her. If she played hard to get, then he would need to use his more charm. However the things he needed help with, were not something serious as the only reason he said it, were cause he wished to be around her."You read my mind easily, priestess. Yes I desire you, but I don't want to know what happened with you last night. As we all know, past is past, done is done. I only came to ask if you would like to take a walk with me, somewhere private?"Jason said asked, wanting her to come with him even she probably were busy with praying. Often when he were around, the females on the island got cached by his presence cause beauty he had gained from his mother. He just hoped, she had some time to spare.

[Flavia, Priestess of Lesbos]

"Hm....yes, i do believe we can talk a little while, though i need a drink first, would you like a glass of wine?" She smiled at him, at least he was honest in saying that he desired her, she knew many men desired her, but she considered that it was her decision on to continue the affair that they had in the past. Jason was also as desireable, specailly being a prince of the gorgeous queen...she had also expreianced that fruit on the vine. She got 2 glasses of wine and filled them half way and offered one to Jason before she got ready to go, which entailed lighting the eternal flame of Hera again, since it went out a few minutes ago.

[Jason]

"I would be honored."Jason responded to Flavia as she accepted, but also offered him a glass of wine to drink. As she went to fill the glass, he could not take his gaze away from her. The way she moved was both exciting and lovely, he only hoped that she liked him as well. His desire for her was strong, cause often when they meet earlier a lot of things had happened. He hoped she had not forgotten, the beauty of her was like a spell that could catch any eye, thought his was cached long ago. When she returned with two glass of wine and handed the one over to him, he smiled in return as he accepted."For life and love."He said as he wanted to celebrate with the glass they held, together after they would go somewhere alone were peace could be given them.

[Flavia, Priestess of Lesbos]

"For life and love" Flavia echoed after Jason. She drunk her glass of wine, she drunk the whole thing, for she was thirsty and she needed something to feast on. "Well what about that walk that we aggreed on? Where would you like to go first of all?" She smiled and laid her hand on his, curling her fingers between his.

[Jason]

Jason drank finish as well, but listened to what she said. It was good she agreed to take a walk, as he certainly looked forward to it. She was a beautiful priestess, who he knew very well from before, although wished to know her better. When she approached, touching his hand by curling their fingers together, he smiled in return as he answered." Well if you don't mind, I think it would be nice if we could take a walk in the forest. Where its peaceful and a nice place to stay alone."

[Flavia, Priestess of Lesbos]

"Yes, alone...no one to disturb our..." Flavia paused "conversations.." Flavia smiled, stepping closer to Jason, with some reservations but with all the appeal of her body flounced before the man. His talk of being alone in the forest, with her. Getting to know each other, either by helping him with troubles with the gods, or..for other reasons. Flavia brushed her body against Jason and lead him by their entertwined hands out of the temple, down the few steps and onto the soft grass leading to the forest. The forest was deep and eluding, full of beauty and grace, there was no other greater place to "get to know each other" than a place of extreme harmony with the gods and nature.
