After a long and enjoyable coronation ceremony, Atohmma took a few extra hours in bed. There was no urgency for her to be awake early this morning. Many of the other natives, who would usually be up and about before dawn, also slept in late. The Chief sage was awake performing his daily rituals and many other elves were preparing for Atohmma's first day on the job.
A meeting was scheduled, to include some orientation for Atohmma, but it was set for later that afternoon. The elves were making delicacies, food and drink. It was personal to that community, and the induction of their new leader. It was an official welcome into their system of elders. This special event did not include music or dance, as it was meant to prepare her formally. It was an official handover of the Sword of Compassion to the rightful wielder and owner, Atohmma.
The Sword of Compassion was well secured in an area of the Chief's tent. Frisky was busy helping with little chores and assisting the Chief with his share of preparations. The Shaman stayed over after the celebration and the Diamond-Back oracle Cobra was a special guest. Everything was proceeding on schedule.
When Atohmma woke up, she carried out her usual routine and dressed as she would on any other day. She had to get used to being the 'queen', and as she finished her breakfast and ventured outside, she saw three elder lady elves waiting for her outside. They sat on her bench by the garden, patiently awaiting their duties to her. Atohmma was unaware that she would have servants. They were also there to assist Atohmma, with changing her schedule and daily routine, into one that fit her role. "Good morning my ladies, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long," said Atohmma. The ladies got up, paid their respects to Atohmma and greeted her in a way, that seemed quite strange. They even referred to her as "Our Highness". This was something Atohmma had to get used to. She welcomed them into her tent, and they sat to discuss their separate missions.
The first lady introduced herself as Nicky. She was there to do the cleaning, laundry, and tend to Atohmma's garden. the second lady introduced herself as Mindy. She had the task of preparing Atohmma's meals and advising on her health and wellness. The third lady, Trudy, was Atohmma's assistant. Her task was to advise Atohmma on her choice of attire for occasions and to ensure she knew how to adjust her lifestyle, schedule and manage her responsibilities. Atohmma was happy to have them and she knew she needed the guidance. They were simple elves, but they were trained for the duties they had to perform.
Today, Atohmma had to be at the meeting, so Trudy's role came in handy. She knew about the meeting and the formalities. She went to Atohmma's wardrobe to find the most suitable clothes for the occasion. She had to do Atohmma's hair, choose her shoes, her schedules, hours of sleep, duties, itineraries, reminders and even her training sessions. Mindy sat a while with Atohmma, to tell her about her diet, the need for her to understand her role and the necessity of time for herself to relax and meditate. After which, she went to the kitchen to deal with Atohmma's dietary plans and to list the food items needed. Afterwards, she made a list, she left to go to the market. Trudy was already cleaning up and doing her chores. She said very, little. Her role was the busiest, but she wouldn't have it any other way. The way she kept herself, tidy, prim and with a very keen eye for things being out of place, Atohmma knew she had the job that suited her.
Atohmma had to wait for Mindy to return from the market, so, in the meantime, she helped the other two ladies with becoming familiar to her space and to where things were kept. She also told them a bit more about herself, and they exchanged their stories. She wanted to know something more about them also. After they had made themselves comfortable, Atohmma decided to take a stroll outside, she was hoping to see Frisky, at least for him to tell her anything she had to know, well before attending the meeting. He was nowhere to be seen, so she decided to walk alone to the village, to see what was happening. She stopped to talk to a few vendors and children along the way, they were all greeting her with respect and honor. She thought to herself, that maybe, she would chat with them, at another time, to know what they would like to have improved in their village. They didn't know much of anything to have ideas, but she knew there must have been things that they would like to have or to do, that was not available. Atohmma always believed in development and improvement. She was very creative. The thought reminded her about the well, that they designed and had to construct back at her village. She remembered Orgamma and Venomma. Atohmma decided, no matter what, she had to pay them an early visit. She didn't want them to feel neglected, especially now with her being crowned leader. She had to go see them, to let them know that no matter how busy her new schedule, she wanted to spend time with them and to permit them to come to visit her there in the elven village. This way, they would get used to her new look and be a part of her life. She knew they needed to be reassured that, she was a part of their lives also. Atohmma felt responsible for them being shocked and surprised at the coronation when they saw her. She needed to make up for that. She had to fill them in on everything she went through and experienced, since she left the village that day.
