Together with the fishermen, out on the waters, your participation will cause the waters to overflow with life! As well, because of your affinity for water you can impart some control over the inflowing and outflowing rivers.Having someone to manage things in your stead, in this case Darry, is more valuable than you'd expected since it frees the time and the chance for you to personally involve yourself with other pursuits. He can meddle with the disapproving nobles and the more mundane troubles of the realm, while you set your sights to higher challenge.
Namely, the available resource of the lake. Traditionally it had been a benefit to Bexley, but by your hand you will see the entire town and even the region as a whole, sustained by these blessed waters. So much more important and rewarding, than getting tangled up in intrigue and petitions for festivals and demands to see you married.
<span class="mu-s">"...m'lady? Be ye... lost?"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"I ken see ye back to the castle ma'm..."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"No no, no need! I'll be coming out with you today, if that's alright?"</span>
Although you very much would like a royal barge at some point, perhaps something of a floating temple to yourself for even greater favor, for now you keep things simple. Bexley is recovering, the people just living day to day, same as these fishermen and gatherers so for your endeavor you seek to cooperate alongside them. Against all protest by nobles and guards and devotees, finding your way to the dock and picking some boat at random with space to spare for one more worker. Today, tomorrow, and for weeks and months to come.
It's no bother to you, it projects a quickly-beloved and admired reputation among your people... the commoners at least, and most importantly your presence on the lake and involvement is what will bestow your divinity upon the waters. Boating out each day and working side by side with the men and women, at the nets and reels and buckets, and adapting your life to the environment.
Though it will take time, you are a goddess of Fertility rather than just Life so you can't cause life to spontaneously bloom from nothing. But given the time, and the people of Bexley will come to know bounty of these waters that none ever have.
