The pain had been incredible and only the blessing of the Goddess had kept her in this world. What had made her take that risk? Surely not merely her faith in Enkili, though the desires of her Goddess were surely a part of the reason. Maybe the fact that she had little left to lose? Her noble status, her family and friends had all been lost before, all because of an illfated love-affair and a marriage she didn't want. She had been sleeping her way from town to town, bed to bed, to keep up the lavish lifestyle she was used to and to try to forget. Until the Goddess had appeared before her, turning bitter lies and seduction into pleasures once again. She had enjoyed the life as a filanderer after that but perhaps not as much as she had believed. And yet she was still doing it even now if only to amuse herself, with a kiss and a touch.</blockquote>
