In addition to the Wading Pool and the Ring, a series of 16 narrow channels, only 1 foot wide and 4 inches deep, radiate out, in all directions, from the center of the circular pool complex. These channels are called the Rays of Light and they serve as the collection pools of the 3rd Rank of the Queen's Pissers. The little troughs each radiate out beyond the outer rim of The Ring for 30 feet. During the Shower, as the 3rd Pissers fill the Rays of Light, their piss drains into The Ring, where the 2nd Pissers perform their procession. All of the urine, in turn, drains into The Wading Pool in the center, where the 1st Pissers are gathered. The collected urine continuously streams into the drain of this central pool, then passes through the Queen's shower head below, and ultimately rains down upon Her Majesty.
From the air above, the Rays of Light appear to project out, in all directions, from both the Wading Pool and the Ring, like beams of light from the sun, especially when filled with hundreds of gallons of yellow pee. During the Queen's shower, the members of the 3rd rank straddle these 1 foot channels - they can either stand, or, if they prefer, squat, and fill them with their urine. This occurs simultaneously, while the 1st rank fills the Wading Pool and the 2nd rank fills the Ring. While pissing, the 3rd Pissers are permitted to kiss or fondle each other, if they like, as long as it doesn't interfere with the stream of urine being collected in the channel between their feet.
All of this fresh piss is kept warm, to the exact temperature of urine within the body, by an advanced heating system running throughout the entire network of collection pools, and through the insulated gold pipes of the drainage system carrying the fluid down to the Queen's shower head below, where the piss of the 3,000 Pissers pours down, soothing and stimulating the Queen as she bathes in the golden downpour.
As Vula showers, her two-foot-deep basin gradually fills with urine. The piss falls and collects at her feet. Although there is a drain in the center of her shower floor, it is kept closed during the ceremony. In lieu of the floor drain, the threat of overflow is addressed by two safety drains, each built higher up into the walls of the basin, 18 inches above the floor, or 6 inches below the rim. This allows 18 inches of fresh pee, which the queen stands in as she showers, to collect in the basin before the safety drains activate, putting the urine level at just below the Queen's knees throughout the ritual.
During the shower, any urine that is drained from the basin through the safety drains is captured in a tank below the floor of the Queen's bathroom. And once the Queen decides that she is finished and steps out of the shower, the basin's main floor drain is opened so that the entire contents of the 3,000 Pissers urinary output is captured as it passes through the showerhead, completely emptying the collection pools above, not a drop is wasted. An average of 750 gallons of used piss is saved and kept fresh and warm from each shower.
The collected pee can have one of two purposes. Either the Queen saves it for a full submersion ritual - an ancient health giving practice recommended by the Priestesses - or, Her Majesty graciously gives it to her subjects to drink. The latter is the typical outcome. The submersion ritual is usually only performed once per year, typically to commemorate the anniversary of a Sovereign's coronation or another special day of celebration, so on most days the urine is gifted to the masses. The valve of the collection tank is opened, allowing hundreds of gallons of the used, yellow shower water to filter down through a series of gold pipes.
The piss is dispensed down to the decorative fountains, made of shimmering white marble, outside the Royal Palace, where the people gather each day. These fountains continuously recirculate the urine through a carefully choreographed water show, which, by all accounts, is quite a spectacle. The urine is said to spray up to 20 feet into the air before it cascades back down into the basins. A fine mist of the sacred pee can be felt all around the area. The people are free to collect the urine any way they can from the open fountains, as the basins catch the spray and recycle it again and again through the spouts. The people consider the Queen's shower water to be a most holy sacrament. It is thirstily consumed, and sometimes collected in bottles or vials, to keep as a relic of Her Majesty, or for various other uses in the home.
As previously mentioned, the Queen, while she showers in her recessed basin, is surrounded by her 7 bottomless Maidens, who stand, slightly above her, at floor level. Her line of sight is roughly even with the waist hems of their silky white chemises. The Maidens are positioned in a circle around the rim of the 5 foot wide basin, their bladders full of fruit juices and teas, and their smooth, naked buttcheeks clenched tightly with their eagerness to serve Her Royal Highness.
The opportunity to please comes exactly five minutes after the Shower's initial downflow begins. The Maidens inch as close to the edge of the basin as possible. They widen their legs and bend their knees into lewd, slightly squatted stances. Holding their labia open with both hands, they angle their hips and their pussies toward the Queen. As the golden shower pours down upon Her Royal Highness, 6 of the 7 Maidens begin to urinate. They sigh in relief as they pee, aiming their respective streams at the focal point in the center - Queen Vula. Given their slightly elevated position, the piss of the Maidens in front of Her Majesty splashes onto her breasts, her shoulders, her neck, or her face. For those Maidens around the back of the Queen, their piss showers the Sovereign's back and her hair.
The 7th Maiden, who holds a crystal clear chalice, has a slightly different task to complete. While the other Maidens begin to pee on the Queen, the 7th Maiden performs a more complicated ritual. She assumes the same lewd posture as the others, holding her labia open with one hand, but instead of releasing directly onto the Queen's body, she spills her yellow urine into the crystal chalice she holds between her legs, until it is full. She then cuts off her urine stream, reserving the remainder in her bladder, and carefully steps down into the shower with Her Majesty. Once face to face, under the Shower's downpour, the Maiden curtsies. She waits for an acknowledgement from Her Majesty - a nod of the Queen's head. The 7th Maiden then moves to the Queen and kisses her tenderly. After this kiss, the Queen indicates her readiness to receive the Maiden's piss by tilting her head back slightly and parting her lips. The Maiden then gently cradles the Queen's head and delivers the salty nectar by carefully pouring the contents of her chalice into the Queen's open mouth. This is part of the Queen's daily intake of nutrients. This practice will be explained later in greater detail.
The 7th Maiden is, like the Queen, soaked in the piss streaming from the shower head above. Her hair and her skin are doused in the salty golden flow raining over her. Her flimsy white camisole top becomes transparent and clings to her breasts. Her nipples and the lovely shape of her udders becomes visible to the Queen, and to the other Maidens. If she has pubic hair, it becomes matted and wet, though the Maiden feeding the Queen today keeps her pussy shaved bald.
As the sweet nubile girl pours her pee down the Queen's throat, she straddles the thigh of Her Majesty, and releases her bladder, pissing, from her urethra, any urine that remained within her once her chalice was full. Her warm piss trickles down the Queen's thigh and adds to the urine already collected in the basin up to their knees. Once the Queen has consumed the entire chalice of the girl's piss, the urine soaked Maiden withdraws the cup, curtsies, then returns to her position on the rim, where the other 6 Maidens, who, having already finished draining the urine from their bladders onto the Queen, one-by-one, straighten their lewd posture and bring their bodies back up to attention - feet together, bare asses sticking out - plump and pert - under the back hems of their elegant white chemises.
It is well known throughout the land that the Queen has a tendency to masturbate during her morning showers. This usually begins soon after she has received the piss of Her Maidens. With the downpour from the shower head still strong, she usually begins by mimicking the lewd pissing position her Maidens stood in as they relieved their bladders. But instead of standing in this position to urinate, the Queen assumes this posture to masturbate. Her athletic, toned physique is highlighted when standing in this way, especially when a jolt of pleasure causes her to spasm and flex erotically.
She begins by caressing her hairless vulva and running her fingers up and down the full length of her inner labia. She gently tickles her urethra and begins to rub her clit in slow circles. After a few moments of this stimulation, she feels the needy emptiness of her vaginal opening as it contracts and clenches with nothing inside to squeeze around. This sensation compels her to enter her aroused pink emptiness with her middle and ring fingers, gently moving them in and out, gradually increasing her rhythm as she becomes more and more desirous of orgasmic release. As she fingers herself, she presses the heel of her palm against the hood of her clitoris, causing her legs to twitch with sexual excitement. She shifts her feet to widen her lewd, squatted stance, awkwardly splashing around in the knee high bath of urine, trying to adjust her balance, as she continuously trembles with pleasure. The longer she plays with herself, the more her face begins to take on a visage twisted with lust and erotic euphoria. There is a tendency for the Queen's upper lip to curl into something like a snarl as she diddles her Royal treasure box. She also unabashedly moans and gasps as her pleasure mounts. In fact, the Queen shows no sign of modesty or self-consciousness whatsoever as she frigs herself. The presence of the seven Maidens, one still dripping with piss, is no deterrence. She masturbates with the same enthusiasm and gusto as she would if she were alone in her bedchamber. Having masturbated in the shower numerous mornings before, with the same contingent of viewers, she is accustomed to having onlookers - the audience does not bother her in the slightest. Indeed, if her masturbatory vigor is any indication, the Queen may have even been erotically inspired by the seven pairs of female eyes gazing down at her in admiration.
