IT'S BECCA'S BIRTHDAY by Freya
SHerk was bouncing....it had been so long since a birthday was celebrated in Sorboland.
He was eagerly rummaging thru his box of bows, trying to select the most perfect
one.
ChefHerk had outdone himself. He had baked an enormous birthday cake made from the
creamiest chocolate, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. He had to keep the door
to the kitchen locked to keep out some very hungry amazon taste
testers.
Sov was in his hut polishing his codpiece. He decided to wear the one with the
silver star studs and they gleamed so much that they sparkled when he walked.
Kull had opened the safe room at the castle and had selected a fine gold chain that was
dotted with diamonds for the birthday girl. On second thought, he also grabbed a
dress that was made of pearls and not much else to dress her in.
The amazons were busy decorating the meadow with balloons and streamers. Tables and
tents were set up in the shade of the trees. Gifts were piling up high next to the
birthday throne.
Herk looked out on all the bustling and then down to the simple, but beautiful bouquet of
wildflowers he had picked. He quietly backed away and found himself sitting by the
lake, pulling petals off a daisy.
"Hey Bro...what's up?" Dite appeared beside him. "Major bummer...you
look down, some amazon break your heart??"
Herk smiled at Dite, and shrugged his shoulders.
The wind carried the sounds of the birthday celebration to the lake. Dite's eyes lit
up as she listened to the merry making. Herk turned his head towards the sound and
then dropped the flowers by his feet.
"oh....big brother....I think I know the problem"
She clasped her hands together and in a flash a golden apple studded with rubies appeared.
"I'm tired of this trinket" she said as she held it out to Herk.
Herk shook his head.
"Yeah, you're right...it is a little pretentious for an amazon" Dite said and
threw it up into the air where it disappeard. "How 'bout <flash>
this??" In her arms she held a set of golden combs. "These things
kill my head" as she gave them to Herk.
"No...thanks sis...but no" Herk said quietly. "They are not a gift
from my
heart".
"Oh...and a gift from your heart is much better than gold??" Dite questioned.
"Of course it is" Herk replied.
"Well....hullo....the gift from your heart is laying at your feet wilting bro!"
With a flick of her wrist, the bouquet of flowers was large and beautiful and whole
again and in Herk's hand. With another flick of her wrist Dite and Herk appeared in
the middle of the birthday celebration.
SHerk was dancing surrounded by amazons, his red birthday bow shaking and rockin'.
Sov strutted around, silver streams of light reflecting from his codpiece.
Becca sat on the birthday throne, dressed in her pearl gown. She smiled when she saw
Herk appear.
Amazons and alphas parted and Herk made his way to the birthday girl. He shyly
presented her with the flowers he had picked. Becca buried her face in their
fragrance and smiled up at Herk. "Thank you...they are sooo very
beautiful...they are the best gift ever!" She moved over and made room for Herk
to sit next to her and together they celebrated her birthday!
Happy Happy Birthday Dear Becca! May your special day be filled with love and
laughter!!!
hugs,
Freya
