Servant of the Goddess
A fantasy world, where the Goddess Luridia is the embodiment of lust and sensual pleasure. Zheni is a girl who is given a vision on her 18th birthday. A vision of herself serving in Luridia's temple in the great Imperial City, far from her home. Though she is far away, she feels compelled to answer the call, little knowing that she is born to be the embodiment of the goddess on earth. She only knows that she must give pleasure freely and take nothing that is not offered her.
At dawn, the morning of her vision, she sets off on her journey, naked and full of more than human beauty. She is innocent, but definitely willing, and she is protected by a divine serendipity, so that even those who think to control or exploit her find themselves helping her along her path.
Of course, who knows what happens along the way? Anyone interested in this thread should PM me. I'm imagining something fairly episodic as she travels through the world.
So I posted this thread idea a while ago, and a goodly number of people seemed interested, and some interesting ideas were getting kicked around in PMs. And then my life got all busy and I didn't have any time to get into Lit. But my brain kept going, which is generally a bad idea.
What I'm thinking now is that there is a BBEG whose plot to control/destroy the world involves controlling desire. By capturing Zheni (the goddess in human form) he will hold her power, and hopes that he will be able to force her to use her power in his service. By controlling who falls in uncontrollable lust with who, he will be able to control dynasties, economies, etc.
The Goddess of Lust takes human form every thousand years, to wander the earth spreading lust and love and desire and happiness ... and her legs. Zheni is born ignorant of her true nature and remains hidden, unknown and having a perfectly ordinary human life. On her 18th birthday, she has a vision of herself in the Imperial City, climbing the steps of the Temple of Luridia (accepting suggestions for a better name for the goddess=yes) and wakes determined to go to the Temple in the far off Imperial City. She also wakes up with a Goddess-sized itch that will need to be scratched.
The same night that she has her vision, the BBEG becomes aware of her presence in the world. He sends his agents out to find her, being more of a hands-off, "Bring her to me, in my hidden fortress," type of Evil Overlord than a DIY villain.
The same night again, the High Priest(ess?) of Luridia, in the Imperial City, becomes aware of the Goddess's mortal presence in the world. He (or she?) sends out more agents to find her, to bring her back to the temple where she would come into her full awareness of herself and her power.
There is the question of how the other gods and goddesses feel about what's going on, and where the empire itself stands in relation to it all, depending what people are interested in bringing to it.
