The Midsummers Festival is a celebration of fertility and love which is an important part of the Amazonian Calender. It is the sole celebration in which Amazons might offer sacrifices and offerings to Aphrodite. Many Amazons who wish for children strive to conceive on this night, while other Amazons simply use it as an excuse to enjoy the evenings sensual pursuits. Sacrifices to Demeter in her capacity as a fertility goddess, are also not uncommon. (((Sounds interesting!)))
Dawn was coming up over the horizon on Midsummers Day, and the Hyrcania was stirring. However a few were awake before hand, Queen Sumeria Leona being one of them.
She was in the steam room only just recently rebuilt the old one had been destroyed long ago by climatic reasons, and it had been forgotten about for ages. When Sumeria and Eumache took up the sceptre together, they had begun to plan for it to be rebuilt, and the plans had been lost, but finally it was back to working level, and Sumeria was enjoying it immensely.
The beautiful Egyptian Greek woman had her dark hair piled up into a bun, strands set loose to frame her delicate face, clothed only in a towel. With a long, wonderful stretch, Sumeria got comfortable, and poured water upon the hot coals, another gust of steam sweeping over her. She murmured in delight, and thought about what the rest of the day would bring.
S: *snickers* Paying homage to Aphrodite the lady of love *laughs* Thats a delicate way of putting it I very much doubt Kalasin will be seeing this holiday as such
Sumeria considered her rather pathetic lovelife at that present moment. Two of her more recent partners were from another time (Jerome and Alexander from Future and Past respectively), her relationship with Damon fell fantastically into pieces, and even though she had been linked to many many men since those three, none of them had been particularly prosperous.
But there was Theron to think about for now.
She smiled at the thought of him. She had met him in the Turbulent Tavern about a week ago. He was a quiet but smouldering man, very refined and respectful, yet had Sumeria on the edge of her seat all the time with something thrilling and almost dangerous in the way that he acted with her. Extraordinarily seductive, and with a stunning pair of beautiful thoughtful grey eyes. Plus Kalasin disapproved strongly of him, she could see that instantly, which meant that she wouldnt have to compete with Kalasins magnetism (Excellent!), and it was like a disapproval of a parent which only increased her high regard. But then again, he seemed very taken with her and her alone, which flattered her greatly among the women of the Turbulent Tavern.
Their relationship was going slowly, seeing each other every day for the last week and learning more about each other, but Sumeria hoped that it would become very powerful maybe this one could be right among all the wrong?
Shaking her thoughts away, she lay back and relaxed. She may yet see the man in her thoughts that night.

But I think you get the point. From what I hear, amazons who wish for children try especially hard on this night because *coughs* it's quite like an offering to the goddess of love. The rest are free to just chill out and do what they want. *looks at Kalasin's grin* I thought the excuse would be interesting to you.
