His Undoing

Definitely a Sea Goddess

"This lever is for heat, and this one is for pressure. Personally, I like to turn them both on full blast but you probably won't, so never mind," Nyx was demonstrating as Mara undressed. Nyx turned around and came face to face with the naked Goddess. "Er..whoa there. We just met!" She joked.

Mara laughed along, not really sure what the issue was. She stepped into the waterfall flowing from a spout in the ceiling and lifted her face into the water.

"This is heavenly!" She laughed and spun under the water. Soon the bathroom smelled of the ocean fresh after a storm and Nyx inhaled appreciatively. She loved the beaches at night, especially under a full moon with her lover, Erebus. She peeked in and Mara was dancing under the stream of water.

"Hey! Don't forget to wash!" Nyx yelled. Mara laughed in response, but did as she was told. Too soon, Nyx came back and shut the water off. Mara's blonde hair was hanging down her back to her ass, and looked like a curtain. She had such long, beautiful hair, it would be the envy of any Goddess. She grabbed three towels, wrapping one under Mara's arms and around her body and then using the other two on her hair.

"Girl we need to get you a hair cut. This stuff is long and thick. Gah. But it would be such a shame to cut such beautiful hair," Nyx said, towel drying it in sections.

"You really think so?" Mara asked, her eyes lighting up. She had a child like quality that new goddesses had and Nyx wondered how old she was. Perhaps..she was newly made, not just lost at sea. After all, what type of sea goddess would be lost at sea? It wasn't even plausible...unless....the Fates left her in the middle of the Sea for Poseidon to find. Nyx realized she was staring into space and snapped out of it, realizing Mara was already dressed and braiding her long hair. She caught her eye and smiled. There was a knock at the door and Nyx went to answer it. There stood Thanatos with a shiny black plastic debit card.

"Nuh-uh! You got the platinum card?! Ohmigosh! Shopping spree!" Nyx squealed and jumped up and down.

"You bet your ass, b***h! Where's Mara?" Thanatos asked.

"She's finishing getting ready;" Nyx turned and headed back towards the bathroom.

"Oh wow. Get a whiff of that..." Thanatos said, laughing. "Smells like the beach in here!"

Mara turned around, laughing and Thanatos gasped. The woman looking at her looked as though she had aged. She was no longer a young woman, but she was all woman. She was curvy with long legs and an hour glass figure to die for. Her long hair was braided down one side of her head and hung to her waist on the other. Her breasts had grown and lifted, and her face lost the childlike roundness it had. She had high cheekbones with a slight flush from the shower, beautiful aqua colored eyes lined with long lashes, and her lips were full and a deep pink. Her eyebrows were even shaped perfectly. The woman was truly stunning, even dressed down in black yoga pants and a Hoodia. Mara finished her braid and turned to look at Thanatos, a radiating smile lighting up her face.

"Shall we?" Mara asked, oblivious. Thanatos nodded and turned towards the door, almost running smack into Nyx, who was also gaping at Mara.

"Damn girl. What did they put in the water for your shower?" Nyx joked. "But seriously lets go. Charon is waiting for us with the limo."

The three women went into the store and led Mara back to the dressing rooms. They sat on a couch with a legal pad to take notes. Mara suppressed a smile at how seriously they took everything.

"First things first," Nyx said. "Mara, what's your favorite color?"

"Ooh, uhm blue, green, aqua..." Mara sighed.

"Duh, Nyx. Ocean colors. Next," Thanatos chimed in.

"Okay so we need dresses, pants, jammies, ballgowns, jeans, shirts, sweaters, hoodies, and undergarments," Nyx made a list.

"What colors do you hate, dearie?" Thanatos asked.

"Oh...I don't think I hate any colors," Mara said.

"Red. Let's steer clear of anything with too much red, yellow, or orange. I don't think those will complement her very well," Nyx added.

"Alright ladies. We have only a few hours to get this s**t done. Ready? Break," Thanatos and Nyx went off in different directions, and Mara stayed put where she was for a few minutes before getting up and wandering around the back of the store, making sure to stay close to where her friends left her, incase she was needed. She found a beautiful flowy dress that was teal with a tight silk bodice, and had a poofy skirt that was layered with different blues, greens, and purple tulle. It was absolutely gorgeous. She must have circled it three times before an associate came over and asked if she wanted to try it on. Mara nodded, biting her lip. When the associate asked what size she was, she simply looked at her, confused.

"What size should I be?" Mara asked.

"Why don't we try a 4 and a 6? You have a small waist and large bust, but the dress has a corset back, so you should be fine," the associate pulled two dresses off the rack and headed back to a changing room. Mara followed, loving how the dresses moved in the breeze. Quickly, Mara slipped one of the dresses on and the associate helped her tighten the corset back, but it was a little tight. Mara slipped out of that and put on the six.

"Wow. This looks perfect on you..." Thanatos smiled widely, looking Mara up and down. Nyx came back a second later and almost dropped the load of clothes she was carrying.

"Well goddammit, Than. I thought we were doing shirts and jeans first?" Nyx eyed her friend.

"We are. Mara found the dress on her own," Thanatos answered, her smile growing wider.

"Hot damn. Does she even need us?" Nyx joked.

"She didn't even know what size she was...I would say she needs you. Are you guys not from here or something?" The associate asked, picking up on Thanatos' accent.

"Err yeah, we're from out of town... And our friend here lost her entire wardrobe. Were trying to build up a whole new one for her but we only have a few hours. There's a party we have to be at tonight," Nyx explained quickly.

"Ah. Well thats what I'm here for. She should wear that dress tonight. It looks stunning. What all are we looking for and in what sizes? My name is Bridget and I'll take care of you guys," Bridget smiled warmly.

"Oh thank the Gods. Here's a list of what we need and colors. We figure we would get her one of each wash of jeans, some flowy blouses, t-shirts, swimsuits, and workout clothes. She also needs bras, panties, lingerie, and shoes. Oh and we don't know the bra sizes in this country either. She will need to be measured," Nyx said and handed over the legal pad. Bridget looked at the list and then back at the women.

"Erm...I hate to ask this...but how are you all paying for this?" She asked warily. Thanatos produced the black card.

"Charge it all here. Can we start a charge account? In case we run out of time today?" Thanatos asked. Bridget nodded happily set off to fulfill the list.

Three hours, 7 pairs of jeans, 23 shirts, 15 blouses, 48 pairs of shoes, 16 dresses, 5 bras, several panty sets, 4 lingerie sets, and a partridge in a pear tree later and Charon was loading all the bags in the limo and the girls were off to the salon. The stylist cut and curled Mara's hair into gorgeous blonde waves that reached the middle of her back. The women trekked back to the house and straight to Mara's room the get ready. Nyx did Mara's makeup and they get her into her dress with strappy sandals to match.

"Comfort is important, yanno," Thanatos had said when they were picking out shoes.

Soon they were all dressed and ready to go. Thanatos conjured a portal for them to pass through, and as they walked into it, the smell of the ocean filled Mara's nose and she quickly ran out the other side, straight for the sand.
