How he met his party

His mind rolled back to how he met his party, some might say harem even. After he was discovered and marked chosen, he was obligated into service, and was taken in by the order of Aphrodite.
For six months they drilled into him doctrine and the fundamentals of being a chosen, and letting him train and explore his powers (he still reflects fondly on the ever-eager priestesses). And after those six months, they had sourced him a party of 4 adventurer-women sworn to Aphrodite. They had inquired if his tastes branched out to a more masculine fare, and even brought some handsome men into the temple, but (to the despair of some of the priestesses) he never found much interest for men in the manner needed for his blessing. Fortunately, Aphrodites' sworn were largely women.
So for him, they gather him a group of 4, (5 with him) to serve as his party, all similarly in their mid-twenties. They all were aware of his blessing and comfortable receiving it, as sworn to Aphrodite. Any more in his party, and many of the sacred and hidden realms they would need to travel would draw additional ire and difficulty.
There was Azure, the earliest to arrive, who was skillful with sling and knife, and knowledgeable of her numbers and politics. She often served as the mediator and negator, both within the party and without. Capable of calling upon Aphrodite for small blessings for herself and others in a limited capacity. She served as a jack-of-all trades for the party. She seemed to enjoy receiving his attention the most, but always hiding her own feelings to some degree.
There was Cetri, the second to arrive. The quietest of the group. While likely the most lusty, she had no interest in cuddling or kissing. Sex was a contest and she was going to win. She served as the party's mage, calling upon the local elements and spirits to fight on their side, a little more comfortable with earth and air magic.

Then there was Rose and Abi. Something of an item already, they still readily agreed to join the group. Rose served as a hunter, skilled with a bow and spear, and capable of wearing mild armor. She had a bubbly personality, and seems to enjoy seeing others in pleasure more than her own stimulation. Rose was prone to having strong opinions and having finer tastes, but wasn't above compromising.

Abi on the other hand fought like a heavier warrior. Using sword, flail, and shield, and capable of wearing heavy armor. Abi could beat any man Clay knew on an even battlefield. She was prone to being shortsighted and unobservant, but was good at taking cues from the group. In bed she was the most demanding and hard to satisfy completely, nearly uninterested in his pleasure, she seemed to be more interested in Rose.

Their very first quest was to subdue a local Centaur whom had enacted terrible acts in the nearby low-lands.
Clay felt like he could barely help, as Abi, Azure, and Rose kept the Centaur flanked and Citrine, who he had blessed and was positioned to protect, placed a curse on him to force him back to his homelands. But a success was a success. And now they were on to their second assignment.
