Chapter 381
Ilgor’s playing started to pick up more as the lighting returned to normal.

Volunteer guild members stepped into the great room, dressed as servers. They carried a large platter of food in one hand while keeping their other hand free. That free hand was used to retrieve pre-decroated tables to set the food on top of.

More musicians followed the servers into the great room, lining up along the walls. They replaced Ilgor and allowed everyone to feel the upbeat shift in the atmosphere.

Jack, Daliea, and everyone atop the platform descended so that more volunteer guild members could put the platform away and ready their grand table.

The main table was long and oval-shaped, allowing each person sitting there to be seen by all others at the table. Jack and Daliea took the center seats of one of the long sides, followed by Maura and Eliza as his other wives. But Lina managed to snag the chair between Jack and Maura, making sure she could sit next to the man of the hour and better celebrate with her big bro.

Across from Jack, Daruun sat at the other seat of honor with Eedaj and Sterfen beside him. Both of the other gods made sure to sit on the side of their son or daughter, following tradition.

To fill in the rest of the seats, the other members of the party joined them. Maura’s family was overwhelmed to share a table with the gods, but they gladly accepted the seats at one end of the oval despite their nerves. Argyle and the managers of the Fat Goose sat at the other end of the oval. And, of course, Tralon, Vixus, Kims, and even Ilgor and now Dirk found a seat at the table of honor.
