You slowly open your eyes, yet darkness doesn't turn into light, but into mist. A dense, purple mist expands in all directions, to the point that you aren't able to see anything else. Not the sky, and not the ground either - you might as well be stepping on the mist itself, and your mostly asleep mind wouldn't mind. You advance some steps until you hear a distant voice, a voice that gets clearer and clearer. A voice that is calling you. //"ame... Tell me... Your name..."// What will you reply? <<textbox "$chPlayerCharacter.name" "" "GoddessHerald Avatar Selection">> Type in your (female) character's name and press Enter to continue.

When you leave your tent, the last sun rays of dawn bathe your face. The Sun has almost finished waking up, and the distinctive colors of early morning won't be back until tomorrow. Some warriors are gossiping about some family matters that matter little to you, so you quietly walk past them, expecting them not to notice you, until you reach the elder's tent. When you enter, he's... drinking. //"Ah, it's none other than $chPlayerCharacter.name! You didn't sleep in today!"// //Not the kindest of sights.// //"Come in, come in. I bet the jitters are finally eating you. Thank them you'll be fully awake when you reach the Temple! Hraa-haaa!"// //"Greetings, elder."// The old man isn't the tidiest person early in the morning. His overweight, the partial lack of clothes and the general effects of alcohol all play a part in building a grotesque view. It's hard to avoid being aware of it, but he probably just doesn't care. //"Yes, yes, I know, you've come to inhale confidence straight from my wise words. Well, the truth is that you have nothing to worry about!"// //The elder is known as a great orator. Despite everything, this should be positive. In some way.// //"After all, it's basically impossible for you to win, so why worry about it at all? We simple humans can't compete against those... AiiSHEEN in magic, or against beastkin in brute force. I know people back in the tribe cheered you tons, but we all know it's a long shot anywa*HIP*y."// //Ugh.// //"Well, we have had High Priestesses from our tribe before, and the Ashwalker Candidate won two generations ago."// //"Oh, $chPlayerCharacter.name, they aren't exactly..."//, he notices your angry expression, then corrects his own words, //"yes, they ARE human, but they aren't exactly like us. Those... people put their kids to fight each other since they're little kids! What could you... ANY Gaanidan possibly do against that?"// A tense silence follows. //"In any case... Even if you don't win it doesn't mean this is going to be a bad experience. Just go there and have fun! Maybe you'll learn something useful too.

//"What are my goals as a Candidate?"// <<set $StVars.firstDayElderA to 1>> \ //"Ah, you should DEFINITELY,"// //"I didn't ask what you think I should do, I asked what the people of the Temple expect me to do."// //"You're no fun at all."// You look at each other in silence for a moment. //"The Candidates go to the Passion Temple to become the High Priestess, and the High Priestess is chosen by the Candidates themselves."// //"How does that even work?"// //"Oh, you don't know?"// He smiles. You frown. He slowly moves his hand to his mouth, and shakes his tongue around the space between his middle and ring fingers. //What is he even doing...?// Ahem. He's pretending to be licking a pussy. //"Oh, gross."// He smiles immensely happy with himself. //I think I should ask about this again in the Temple.// [[Move on|FirstDay 2a]]

//"What does our tribe think about the Priestesshood?"// <<set $StVars.firstDayElderA to 1>> \ //"Hrrmm. Hmmmmrr."// The elder cleans his throat, thinking. //"Truth is, most Gaanidans are thankful."// He sentences. //"Maybe because we're the last of the six tribes that made it to the Valley, and we remember life without the Goddess more than the rest."// //"Was life without the Goddess hard?"// //"That's what it looks like. You know how hard it is to leave the Valley, right? The only way out is the Tortuous Corridor."// //"In the mountains..."// //"T's right. Hrrm. Unless you can fly, the Tortuous Corridor is the only way out of the Valley, and it's been ages since anyone's tried. The Corridor is outside the Goddess' Domains, so you only have to go there to see what happens to you. No one likes cold, but cold without the Goddess' magic will sap your life away, and it will eventually kill you."// //"Just... Some cold? Killing people?"// //"Yes, not the best outlook, is it? According to our stories, people used to die in all kinds of ways outside the Valley. Cold, cuts, bruises, heat... All of them are annoying, but without the Goddess they could be dangerous enough to end someone's life."// [[Move on|FirstDay 2a]]

//"Could you refresh my memory of the Gaanidans' history?"// <<set $StVars.firstDayElderA to 1>> \ //"There isn't much to tell. Not much that's important 'nyway."// You look at him expectantly. //"Allright... You surely know this already. But we were the last of the six tribes to settle in the Valley. We got here through the Tortuous Corridor, apparently fleeing something terrible."// //"We came from that place? Isn't it really dangerous?"// //"It is. That should give you an idea of what kind of things awaited for us at the other side. When we finally reached the Valley, many of us had died, and many others were terribly sick, but those who hadn't left us yet started to heal."// //"Isn't it normal for sick people to heal?"// //"Not out there, no. Then we had fights with the other tribes, but we negotiated peace and they invited us to stay here. They taught us about the Goddess and we have never thought about leaving since then."// [[Move on|FirstDay 2a]]

//"Tell me about the Ashwalkers."// <<set $StVars.firstDayElderAndAshwalkers to 1>> \ //"Why?"// //"Because I'll meet an Ashwalker Candidate in the Temple, of course. And I'll have to live with her for a long time."// The old man frowns. Everyone knows he dislikes Ashwalkers. Most people tends to ignore it. You never learnt why. //"They... Ahem. They are humans, like us, but it's like their skin was cooked."// //"I think I shouldn't have asked."// //"They also put their kids to fight each other since they're small. They're agitated and fra... frarg... flagrant. They don't know how to have a good time. You won't like them."// //I feel like I haven't learned much.// [[Move on|FirstDay 4a]]

//"Tell me about the Shapeshifters."// //"Have you seen slimes before?"// //"Yes, they're squishy little creatures, made of goo."// //"Right, so Shapeshifters are big, intelligent slimes."// //"Are you serious? How do they even talk then?"// //"They can talk because they can take any form they want. One day they're a woman, a man the next and a woman again the following day. Sometimes they even pretend they're not slimes."// //"How so? Can you not easily recognize the goo?"// //"Not if they don't want to. I don't know how they do it, but they make it appear as if they had any kind of skin they want to."// //That sounds interesting! I want to see it.// [[Move on|FirstDay 4a]]

//"Tell me about the Beastkin."// //"They're mostly humans, but not really. They have animal ears and tails. They even behave a bit like animals."// //"...Do they, really?"// //"What, you don't trust me?"// //No.// //"Maybe not."// //"Hrrm. I haven't seen many of them myself. But the ones I've seen were weird like that, licking their own hands and scratching their ears."// //"I scratch my ears too."// [[Move on|FirstDay 4a]]

//"Tell me about the Leiriens."// //"Ah, I like them! I love them. They're so hot you wouldn't believe it, and-"// //"I was asking how they are."// //"I'm going there, allright? Impatient kid."// He sighs. //"They have green skin - maybe you shouldn't even call it skin, because it feels like... Like flower stalk. They're also covered in flowers and vines, and they smell so nice."// //"Do their men smell nice too?"// //He's likely talking about Leirien women only.// //"Their... men? I guess... so? I didn't pay much attention to them."// //He was talking about Leirien women only.// //"I think I can picture them."// [[Move on|FirstDay 4a]]

//"What should I know about the Aiishen?"// //"Truth is... I don't know."// //"...You don't? Have you never met any?"// //"I think I have. I could also have not. I'm not sure, really."// You're slightly puzzled, but his face reflects honesty. //He seemed to be drunk earlier, but not drunk enough to start babbling this much nonsense.// //"I think I saw a couple of them during a meeting with other tribes. It should have been them, but I'm not even sure they were there. They seemed to be a mix of smoke and black water... But I couldn't even see them clearly.

//"I'll be leaving now."// //"Yes, yes, I know you're far more confident now."// He smiles. //Sigh.// And you leave his tent.

Many hours went quiet and without unexpected events. The warriors packed up the camp and all of you left to complete the rest of the route. You reached the confines of the forest, and the Passion Temple stood far in the distance. A green prairie remained calm long and wide in front of you. Behind it, there was a considerable hill that turned into mountain as your sight reached its end, a mountain connected to the natural borders of the Confined Valley. Daylight stroke it with strength and majesty, reflecting a bright, distinctive gray back into everyone's eyes. Slightly beyond the limits between mountain and hill, a fortress rose from the uneven ground, walls and towers higher than any you had ever seen. Its colors and forms made hard to guess if it had been built or carved directly into the rock. It was the Passion Temple. The succession rules are fairly strict, and they mandate the Candidates must not bring company, beyond what's necessary to make it safe. The elder suggested the view of the other Candidates may suppose a danger to your young eyes, but his son reprimanded him, and they left you alone to make the rest of the travel yourself. It's now late afternoon, and you're close to the end of the hill. A badly maintained gravel path is continued by another one built with stone slabs. It leads directly to the Temple.

You take a shortcut between the forage, and when you reach a clear, you see her. Another human about as old as you swings a long, bland staff as she jumps around. You aren't sure if she's dancing or if she's fighting an invisible enemy, what you're certain about is that she's captivating. Sometimes the movements are short and fast, sometimes they're long and she moves long distances in a single jump. At all moments, she seems to be in control. Her eyes cross yours. And she keeps dancing. She's definitely aware that you're here, but she's still immersed in her activities. Yet it isn't long until her patterns change: in a couple of seconds, she goes from giving your her back to jumping in your direction, moving the staff in a way that is certain to hit you.

You can't keep her gaze, and decide it's your turn to close your eyes. The slime massages you, enfolds you and makes you move at its own pace, taking you as its passive partner for a dance.

When you reach the glade, Sillan is laid back next to the lake's shore, not paying much attention to anything. When she hears your footsteps, she lazily rolls until she's able to see you. //"My fair friend is back. How nice."// You maintain a cautious attitude, evaluating her intentions. Her expression makes a vague attempt to project kindness and openness, but you can't help but wonder if it isn't too different from that of a predator preventively tasting its prey.

Short minutes later, you and the other four Candidates are reunited in front of the gates. When Padmiri greets the last one, she takes the initiative and leads everyone inside. The Temple's hall is one great room, with long dimensions and a daring height. The floor and the walls are made with dark gray stone slobs crafted with precision in rectangular shapes, often decorated with columns and other works of art. At its center, a giant white statue of a beautiful woman, arms and hands slightly open towards you, like a mother welcoming its small children. In front of her feet, there are three women waiting for you. //What's... What's that?// One of them immediately catches your attention. She doesn't look like any living creature you have ever met. Instead of skin, it looks like her body is formed by darkness itself, with a halo of tenuous lights forming around it. Her eyes, mouth, nose and other facial features are also formed by a more tenous white light. She has a long sleeveless dress covering most of her body. If she had any other expression, her face may appear to be immature for a woman - she is, however, dead serious. <div align='center'>\ [img[img/portraits/ate-full.png]] </div> \ //"Welcome, Candidates."// It isn't the woman whose appeareance has entranced you who is talking, but the one at the center. Slightly shorter than the other two, she's a purple Shapeshifter. She has a most peculiar hair, as her slime has taken the form of solid ice shards that form an inverted cone from her jaw upwards. //"My name is Drishtya, and I'm the Priestess Regent. I was chosen by the previous High Priestess to take over her functions once she died, and manage the Temple until the new High Priestess was chosen.

//"Look,"// you tell her, //"I clearly overreacted earlier. I wanted to apologize."// She remains silent for a moment, evaluating the situation. //"Where is your motivation to beat my ass?"// //"Um. Nowhere. Not anymore."// The Ashwalker sighs. //"Fine. What are you willing to do to show me you really mean it?"// //"Huh... As long as it isn't something excessive..."// She takes it as if you have agreed to her request. //Whatever it is.// //"The truth is that I'm sore from my training."// She pulls her gi's shoulders away from her shoulders. //"I would appreciate it If you massaged me."// //That... is actually nothing extreme.// <<set $StVars.FirstDayWaitedWith to "Nash">> [[Continue|FirstDay Nash2b2]]

Her skin is only slightly rougher than your own, and it's still soft. When your restlessness starts to fade, you actually enjoy touching her. The smell of her hair and the sight of its exotic texture are also kind of nice. //Perhaps I misjudged her? She could have abused my good will, but she only asked me for this.// //"Nnnhh... Aaah..."// //"I'm glad you like my hands."// //"They came when I needed them the most."// //"So... Do all Ashwalkers train to become warriors?"// //"No, not all. Not even half of us practice martial arts regularly. There are many that prefer dancing, or forging tools and weapons..."// //If half the Gaanidans became warriors we'd have A LOT of warriors.// You keep chitchatting for a few minutes until you finish with her shoulders, and she gets up. //"That was great! It would be great if you did this often. Perhaps every day... But I guess I no longer have a reason to beat your ass, I also wanted to do that."// You are still kneeling in front of her, your head in front of her waist. Her comment makes you turn your eyes down.

//"Now, each of you will step forward and introduce yourselves, and explain how your tribe chose you. Leirien Candidate, you may begin."// Padmiri makes a small cough. She looks at the Priestess Regent in the eyes and speaks with great confidence. //"I'm Padmiri, Candidate of the Leirien tribe. I was chosen by my peers as the most apt to represent them."// Drishtya nods, and asks Nash to proceed. She imitiates Mir's tone. //"I'm Nashillbyir, Candidate of the Ashwalkers. I was chosen by my tribe by defeating all other elegible women in martial combat."// Drishtya asks you to continue. //I should follow along, right?// //"I'm $chPlayerCharacter.name, Candidate of the Gaanidans. I was chosen by lottery among all elegible women."// Just explaining yourself makes you nervous. The reason why you were chosen plays a big role in why this whole situation makes you feel so intimidated. However Drishtya's expression doesn't change, which makes you feel a tiny bit of validation. You don't look at anyone else. //"The Beastkin Candidate."// //"My name is Fiercest Claw. My father sent me to get the High Priestesshood, and that's what I'm going to do."// The Regent doesn't react to this declaration either. She now asks her fellow Shapeshifter to take her turn. Sill smiles before she starts. //"My name is Sillan, and I was unanimously chosen by my tribe to become the Shapeshifter Candidate."// //"You are going to try again, and this time you will not lie to me.

Tell us who you are and why you're here, or you will be forcing the Priestesshood to punish you."// Yet another silence. The blue Shapeshifter slowly accepts she's cornered. //"Fine."// Her shattered smile subsudes, then she smirks. Mischievously. //"My name is Valtan. Or Val for friends."// She goes out of her way to wink to you. //"I took the appeareance of my friend Sillan, who was unanimously chosen by my tribe, in order to fool them and take her place as the Candidate."// //"That's better."// The Regent turns her face, ready to move on, but she's interrupted. //"Wait."// Valtan says. //"I just said I'm not the rightful Candidate. I fooled my whole tribe, your tribe, to supplant the real one. Is that all you're going to say? And how did you know about me, anyway?"// Drishtya looks at Valtan with a small hint of tiredness. //"How you were sent by your tribe is not important. If you have come in their name, the Goddess approves, and you're a rightful Candidate, as long as the Temple is concerned. Your tribe, however, may disagree. That's an issue you will have to solve in time. With them."// Valtan is perplexed. Shortly after, she laughs for several seconds.

//"And finally, the Aiishen Candidate."// The girl made of pure darkness steps forward. //What? She is the Aiishen, the missing Candidate? Why was she already in the Temple?// //"Greetings, everyone. My name is Maaterasu. I am the Candidate of the Aiishen tribe. The stars chose me."// Her expression doesn't change at any moment, always remaining serious. //"As you must be aware, the Candidates weren't supposed to enter the Temple until a few minutes ago. You will have to excuse her. As you may or may not know, the Aiishen are beings partially made of energy, and they're subjected to the whims of the Goddess' energy waves. As such, she wouldn't be able to travel during these days, and she's been waiting here since last week."// //I should find a chance to get to know her.

//"It's mandatory for me to explain what you have come here for, even though I'm certain all of you are aware."// She closes her eyes and meditates for a couple of seconds, and continues talking. //"The Confined Valley is protected by the Goddess."// Drishtya points to the statue behind herself. //"The Goddess maintains her energy, her spirit herself, flowing through her domains. She takes a toll on her subjects, which we pay with each of our daily actions, honoring her. In turn, she protects us. Within the Valley, life is precious, a sacred gift which is to be appreciated and enjoyed, and one that is not easily lost. Outside the Valley, life is short and tragic, a small miracle that doesn't take long to die to sickness and pain. Our duty in the Temple is to keep the Valley in harmony with her spirit. To fulfill this goal, you must become dign agents of the Goddess, which requires you to understand all dimensions of life, as well as being well experienced in them. You will learn the arts of magic, combat and love."// //She means sex, doesn't she?// //"Once your training is finished, one of you will be chosen High Priestess, who will lead all the others, as well as the rest of the Temple, in the mission of maintaining peace, order and harmony in the Valley."// She pauses and examines each of you, and you follow along. Padmiri seems calm and happy. Nash has crossed her arms. Valtan seems agitated. Maaterasu is as serious as ever. And Claw... //She looks angry.// Drishtya clears her throat and continues. //"To this respect, it's true that different philosophies have coexisted in the Valley for centuries. They guide their followers on how to traverse their road through life... In how they relate to others, to their tribe, and to their loved ones. In respect to the late High Priestess, I shall follow the Way of Nurtured Harmony to tutor you during your training, but conflict and evolution are natural parts of the Valley, and I shall respect your adherence to other Ways, and you will have increasing freedom to adopt them all: the Way of Celebrated Union, the Way of Exclusive Love... And yes, Claw, that includes that Way of Imposed Domination that you appear so adamant to follow. Keeping the peace, after all, implies resolving conflicts, and sometimes these require change and growth."// //...I think I lost her here. What are those Ways she's talking about?// //"I'm certain that, at the bottom of your heart, all of you desire the same thing: the well-being of the Valley's inhabitants. We will offer you all of our knowledge, all of our resources, our wisdom and our chambers. But as Priestesses to be, it is up to you to find out the answers - to find out how to express your love. And I think this concludes the introductions. You will now be taken to your chambers, for I'm certain this has been a long day for all of you. Tomorrow you will be shown the Temple, and most importantly, the ceremony of initiation will take place."// [[Continue|FirstDay Wardens5]]

After they exchange a gesture, Drishtya leaves, and Shrezdill asks the rest of you to follow her. You pass through a door on a side of the hall, and walk the Temple corridors and stairs. No natural light enters them - small torches illuminate your path. Only your steps can be heard, and occasionally some short airstream. One by one, Shrezdill assigns a room to each of the Candidates, and they leave the group. You get the last one. The Priestess leaves you alone to enter it, and when you do, you're left astonished. The room itself is as big as the biggest Gaanidan house. It has a huge bed with red sheets, wardrobes and closets, a large mirror, some plants, a desk and even a decently sized pool.

In the morning, a strange sensation impregnates your body.

//"Now that everyone's here, I'll tell you about the specifics of your life here."// The Shapeshifter moves aside, away from the 6 of you and right next to the Goddess statue. //"During your training period, we will channel a considerable amount of the Goddess' energy into the Temple, which will be used to strengthen your advances.

Therefore, I expect all of you to take your duties seriously, so that your training is finished as soon possible. Understood?"// Drishtya waits for your affirmative responses, and then proceeds. //"Your training will take place during the mornings, in the Training Halls, an area with several facilities and means to develop your skills.

It's always allowed during the evenings. Anything else?"// Silence follows. //"I'll proceed, then.

//"During this period, it is only natural that you get to know each other.

For this reason, many Candidates in the past have developed strong rivalries, or signed alliances against each other.

Servitude? What does that mean?"// //"It means that someone will become someone else's servant, for a specified time, be it as a result of a challenge or any kind of deal."// //"I... Do not like that."// //"Many share your concerns. If you voice them regarding someone's behavior, you may join efforts with other Candidates in order to punish their continued attitude. But I must warn you: there were generations in which it was common for one or two Candidates to keep the others in their service for the vast majority of the time, up until they won the High Priestesshood. The same way you can warn the others against these practices, others may seduce you into accepting them."// //Mir is really serious. I don't think I had seen that expression in her yet.// //"In relation to this matter, you must also know: The Priestesshood will often impose sanctions or privileges to selected Candidates. This is because you mustn't only show your capacities, but your capacity to grow - if any of you dominated the competition at any point, you may deprive the rest of the opportunity to catch up with you. We will take measures to ensure that Candidates with excessive lead face bigger obstacles, and Candidates with trouble to keep up are granted advantages."// <script>setPasChars([getPresentCharByKey("chAte"),getPresentCharByKey("chNash")]);</script> \ [[Continue|SecondDay VictoryDiscussion]]

//"Excuse me, Priestess Regent."// Ate intervenes. The unexpected words of someone who has only talked when absolutely required call unavoidable attention. //"How will the new High Priestess be chosen?"// //"That's a great question, Maaterasu. The new High Priestess will be chosen by the Candidates themselves, that is: all of you."// //"But all of us want to become High Priestess. How are we expected to support anyone but ourselves?"// //"That's why it's a great question. The process itself is never easy. It's never immediate. During each generation there's always a few Candidates that come to believe in someone else's excellence to represent the Goddess, but that is usually not enough. When that happens, all Candidates agree on different trials that will test everyone's worth. If the election becomes excessively lengthy, the Priestess Regent is expected to arbitrate it."// //"What kind of trials were chosen other generations?"// //"There has been variety. The simplest ones consist in competitions of strength and magic. Trials to generate as much pleasure as possible to others were also common. There have also been public trials in which different witnesses testified about a Candidate's capacity to solve conflicts, to lead others, to keep the peace on the Valley. In short words, if you want to become the next High Priestess, you must pay considerable attention to nurture your relationships with others, to develop yourselves as agents of the Goddess, well-versed in many skills and lore, and to prove your capacity to do good to the Temple and the Valley."// <script>setPasChars([]);</script> \ [[Continue|SecondDay RitualOfAvatars]]

//"I think that sums up everything you need to know so far."// Drishtya takes a moment to look at everyone, walking slowly between two points. //"We can begin the Ritual of Avatars."// Everyone remains silent. Some Candidates seem to be as lost as you. The purple Shapeshifter catches on and explains: //"As you already know, the Goddess protects and nurtures all life in the Valley. In consequence, it's fair to claim we're partly created by her: everything around us, including ourselves, grows and thrives under her, making it yet another one of her dimensions."// She pauses to let you reflect on her words. //"This means that everyone who aims to represent her must fill those dimensions as well. You, who were born women, are as incomplete as anyone who had been born a man. You, who show talent in magic or athletism, are as incomplete as anyone who shows the opposite. You, who love nature or the crafts, are as incomplete as anyone who appreciates the other dimensions of life. We assume it is impossible for us mortals to achieve the completeness of the Goddess, but as her Avatars, you must strive to achieve it. The Ritual of Avatars will drive you much closer to that goal. Are you ready to perform the Ritual and swear to grow closer to the Goddess, for the rest of your lives?"// //This... Looks like an important decision.// //"I am."// //Perhaps the most important decision I have taken in my whole life.// //"I am."// //What does this mean again?// //"I am."// //She hasn't explained much about it.// //"I am."// //Everyone seems to be so... decided.// //"I am."// //What if I regret it?// Drishtya is looking at you. //She's waiting for my response.// //Everyone is looking at me, right?// [["I am."|SecondDay RitualOfAvatars2]]

//"Very well. Undress."// The Priestess Regent orders. //"Everyone."// //What? Just like that?// Nash seems to be as undecided as you. Maaterasu, however, obeys without thinking. Val obeys too, much happier. //She's ogling everyone, right?// Claw takes her clothes off in abrupt, decided movements, perhaps showing she has nothing to hide. Mir does it calmly, like it is the most natural thing in the world. You and Nash exchange glances. She shrugs and begins undressing. You follow along. When you're finished, Val is looking at you. She winks. You send your eyes to the ground. //"I will now channel the Goddess' energy directly into each of you. Relax your muscles."// The Priestess Regent waves her arms from the sides to her own head, then she puts her hands forward, and repeats the whole movement. Pink and golden mist starts to form around her. //"Inhale air, and don't let it out..."// When she has enough mist, she starts directing it with her hands. By gently pushing the air, the mist follows whatever direction she wants to. //"Exhale."// Drishtya focuses in covering Maaterasu's nude with the magic essence. You had avoided looking at anyone who had already undressed, but your curiosity beats your shame and you take a peek. A very long one. //She is still calm, even in this situation. Does she even have emotions?// //"Inhale air again... Focus on your feet. Check if they're under tension, and release it."// When only the Aiishen's face is uncovered, Drishtya moves on to Padmiri. The Leirien closes her eyes. You perceive a small twitch, but otherwise her only moves are those of her lungs. The Priestess Regent continues asking you to perform different relaxation exercises. Nash's turn comes next. You notice how she starts breathing harder and faster when the mist first touches her, but after some seconds she tames the pace and goes back to normal. Val's reaction, however, is a parade of emotions. A huge grin invades her, which gives place to a sign of pain, and after a breath, she gradually recovers her smile - and a naughty one at that. Drishtya looks at Claw and you before continuing, and she decides to proceed with the tiger. //"Hissssss!"// It's an uncontrolled reaction. Claw steps back, but then forces herself to stay in place. The Priestess Regent stops for a moment, only continuing when Claw is clearly quiet. She ends covered by the mist as well. //It's my turn.// The Priestess' eyes are locked on you. You look back at her, but you decide to close them when the mist is about to reach you. //Ah!// Cold. It freezes your skin wherever it touches you, seeping into your very pores. And then it burns. //"Nngghh."// But the heat inside and the cold outside decay slowly, up until both temperatures become one and the same. And you become one with the stillness. You can clearly feel your heart's throbing, your breath's movements, and your skin's quiet tingling. It all turns into pleasure - the sky itself is stroking your whole body at the same time. //You lost 50 lust.// <<script>>State.variables.chPlayerCharacter.lust.current -= 50;<</script>> <<if $settings.futa == "enableAll">> \ [[Continue|SecondDay RitualOfAvatars3]] <<else>> \ [[Continue|SecondDay RitualOfAvatars3b]] <</if>> \

Drishtya steps back, and takes a long look at everyone. She opens her arms, hands and palms long and wide, and pulls them, like a puppeteer controlling the very forces of nature. The mist massages your skin, and your body vibrates. You feel waves running through your body, from your shoulders to your hands, from your waist to your neck, and from your neck to your groin. And it pulsates. You feel a force right above your clitoris, pushing inside and out of your body. Your abdomen is weak, your legs tremble. Heat consumes you, and pleasure engulfs you. //Nnn... Gghh... Aaaaa//aaa//aaahh....// //You have reached orgasm!// <<script>>State.variables.chPlayerCharacter.lust.current = 100;<</script>> \ Your breathing had accelerated, but after reaching orgasm, it slowly goes back to normal. You feel disoriented, and you lose half a minute to your dizziness. When you're fully back to normal, the mist is dissipating. [[Continue|SecondDay RitualOfAvatars4]]

You're looking down. //That... Is mine?// Yes. //What is it?// A penis, obviously. //But I don't have a penis.// You do, now. //Wait, what?// You send a hand to your groin. Your pussy is still there, as is your clitoris, just below your new tool. You palpate the rest of your body, and it doesn't look like anything else has changed. You look around. Padmiri is astounded, Claw frowns. Nash is stretching her legs in different directions as she looks down. Valtan looks amused. Maaterasu is... //Showing interest.// //"Congratulations, my dear ones. You've taken the first step into becoming Avatars of the Goddess. I trust no one has doubts about what's happened?"// The silence is an eloquent response. //"Excellent. You will soon have to begin your training, but I must introduce you to the rest of the Temple's inhabitants first."// <<script>> for ( var charKey of ["chPlayerCharacter","chNash","chMir","chClaw","chVal","chAte"] ) { State.variables[charKey].addBodypart("dick","dick"); } <</script>> \ [[Continue|SecondDay MeetTempleStaff]]

$customRoomIntro <<removeclass "#right-ui-bar" "stowed">> \ After waking up early, you decide to take a stroll before the training period. It's a relatively warm morning, given how early it is. You realize Nashillbyir isn't too far away, doing stretches. //"Hello, $chPlayerCharacter.name! You're up early today."// //"Hello, Nash. Do you always get up this early?"// //"I do most of the time, yes.

$customRoomIntro //"All right, what do you need me to do?"// //"Move next to my side, for starters. Ah, it's been so many days since I had someone to help me with this!"// The Ashwalker lies on her back, and you kneel next to her after she asks you to do so. //"I want to stretch my legs' muscles - you just have to keep hold of my knees at certain positions."// [[Do as told|SE Stretching Help Phase 1]]

$customRoomIntro Following Nash's directions, you pull and keep your grip on her knees at different points. You're certain that it would hurt you if you were in her position, but she doesn't lose her cool. //"Well done, let's move on."// Without moving her back from the ground, she moves her right leg to the left, describing a right angle with her spine. //"As you can see, my leg isn't straight.

$customRoomIntro Moving carefully, you place your hands along her thigh. You can feel the tendons in tension, ocasionally shaking. //"You're doing great, hold for a little longer."// After some seconds, she exhales and points you to stop. It's the other leg's turn next. [[Continue|SE Stretching Help Phase 2]]

$customRoomIntro Relatively uncertain about how to proceed, you end up putting your hands right below her knee and her butt. //"Hmpf."// You steal a look at her. She's looking at you, smirking. //"It's fine if you want to grab me there, but don't forget to push my leg down."// //Oops.// You correct the strenght you're exerting. //"That's better."// //Your sexual tension with Nashillbyir has grown a bit.// <<script>> State.variables.chPlayerCharacter.relations.chNash.sexualTension.stv += 100; State.variables.chNash.relations.chPlayerCharacter.sexualTension.stv += 100; <</script>> \ [[Continue|SE Stretching Help Phase 2]] <<script>> State.variables.StVars.StretchingHelpGroped = "true";<</script>> \

My knees have to get as close to my shoulders as possible, just make sure they remain there."// The young Ashwalker, her back still on the ground, plants her feet on the grass, only to abruptly pull them along with her legs to her own chest. She awaits you. //How should I do it, though?// [[Stand up next to her|SE Stretching Help Standing]] <<if $chPlayerCharacter.resilience.value >= 11>>[[Kneel in front of her|SE Stretching Help Kneeling Passed Check]] <</if>> \ <<if $chPlayerCharacter.resilience.value < 11>>[[Kneel in front of her|SE Stretching Help Kneeling Failed Check]] <</if>> \ [[Mount her|SE Stretching Help Mount]]

$customRoomIntro You get up and move next to her side, and bend your back in order to reach her knees with your hands. It doesn't take long for this position to hurt you. //...This probably wasn't the best choice.// Nash gives a hint to be in tension this time, but it isn't too noticeable. She's keeping tight control of her breath, slow as a feather's fall. At some point, she looks at you. You immediately turn your gaze away, but force yourself to look back. She's smiling calmly. //"That will be all."// You let her knees go and take a much more natural posture. Your back still aching, now it's you who needs to stretch. //"Your help was great, thanks a lot."// //"I'm glad I could help!"// //"It's about time we reunite with the others, but one of these days it'll be my turn to help you."// //"Nice, I'll look forward to it."// //You lost 20 energy.

$customRoomIntro You put place yourself in front of her rear, and lower yourself down. You are less and less sure about this as you move forwards, but you get in top of her nonetheless, safely locking her knees. Nash's expression doesn't change much, but... //Her pupils are... so big.// You salivate.

It's a gentle union, the lips rubbing slowly up and down. Your eyes open and find hers, warm, intimate. It takes you a few more seconds to notice your arms are giving up. You suddenly remember what you were doing and pull back. //"Lips stretches weren't on the routine, but they may be next time."// //"If you want to keep yourself flexible, your routine should be as well."// Nash rolls her eyes. //"Your help was great, thanks a lot."// //"I'm glad I could help!"// //"It's about time we reunite with the others, but one of these days it'll be my turn to help you."// //"Nice, I'll look forward to it."// //You lost 10 lust.

You put yourself in front of her waist, push yourself forward to reach her knees, and... Resilience check: passed. You soon realize this posture was a mistake. Your back's position is fairly taxing, but nonetheless you manage to hold on. //You lost 15 energy.// <<script>> State.variables.chPlayerCharacter.energy.current -= 15; <</script>> \ You keep holding her knees down, and you feel small shakes in her legs, proof that her tendons are working.

A couple of seconds later, you feel Nash's feet on your shoulders, pushing you, until your head is about to fall again, but to the ground. Half a minute later, both of you are standing up. You're no longer anxious, but shame is eating you whole. //"J-Just so you know, I'm not completely against happy endings, but I prefer to finish the exercise first."// //"I'm so sorry!

$customRoomIntro While getting closer to the amphitheater, you notice a shape in the distance that you identify as Maaterasu. You're surprised when you notice that the ever quiet and polite girl is actually humming a tune. It isn't overly complicated: it mainly consists on two main phrases that are repeated over and over, adding minor variations at the end. The main phrases themselves are profoundly melancholic, while the variations add different emotions, from sadness to acceptance, to joy. The contrast is beautiful to your ears. Suddenly, the Aiishen stops. She has noticed you. //"What do you think?"// //She must be asking about the tune, or her interpretation.// [[Compliment|SE Humming Compliment]] [[Criticize|SE Humming Criticize]] [[Ask about the tune's origin|SE Humming Ask About Song]] [[I want to keep listening to it|SE Humming Listen in silence]] <<removeclass "#right-ui-bar" "stowed">> \

You may be strong enough to keep someone by your side, to tear someone away from others, but someone who would behave that way would never get to understand what's love, what is it to care for others, to have others to care for you. To have another person's warmth melt your worries away... That kind of person may be able to inflict pain on others, but they will never be able to have anything more than a pitiful, limited existence."// Padmiri now holds her head high, looking at the Beastkin directly into her eyes. //"The powerful,"// she continues, //"should look over others, protect them and guide them.

She walks to the back of the Grand Hall, where a sizable double door stands. Drishtya knocks on it, and it gets opened by Shrezdill, who was on the other side. The Ashwalker, along with four other persons, enters the Grand Hall, and they walk behind the Priestess Regent up to your position. //"I trust you remember Shrezdill, from yesterday. She and I are the last Candidates from the previous generation who remain alive. The rest are people from the tribes who were offered to help with the Temple's preservation."// She nods at one of them, a human woman of mature age and light skin, who walks forward. //"Hello, Candidates. I'm Vesia, and I look after the Temple's library, you'll often find me between scrolls, and above them, and before them - but please don't mind me, I can always help you find what you're looking for."// Her gestures are exaggerated, and her tone, theatrical. She wears a very large white robe, silver bracelets, and a collar that reflects a dim, dark, blue light. A Leirien man and woman advance next. They have ample, warm smiles, and they glance at each other from time to time. Like Padmiri, they have different assortments of vines and flowers through their bodies, but they also wear (or have) slim roots. //"Welcome, beautiful ones,"// she begins. //"I'm Fastya, the Temple's resident gardener."// //"And I'm Dutzelt, the Temple's resident chef."// //"I harvest the gifts the earth provides to us,"// //"And I get them ready for your plates."// And they finish in unison: //"You have nothing to worry about while in our care."// Drishtya makes a small gesture that you interpret as a mute sigh. The last person is another Aiishen. Unlike Maaterasu, this is a tall man. Like her, he maintains a serious expression, but it's one that transmits maturity, rather than lack of emotion. //"Greetings, Candidates. My name is Taototh, and I was selected by the previous High Priestess as the Temple's official researcher."// //"He is too modest to tell you about it, but he also operates some of the Temple's infrastructure, which is fundamental for some of our rituals."// She coughs. //"...Now, we should get your first training session ready. Follow me into the library."// [[Continue|SecondDay StartTraining]]

At one side of the Grand Hall, some doors are the entrance to the Temple's library, or at least, its biggest section. There is a fair empty space at its entrance, but lines of shelves extend in all directions from there, full of scrolls. Drishtya turns around at the center of this lobby and resumes the explanations. //"Most of your days as Candidates will follow the same schedule: training during mornings, work from noon to afternoon, and freedom to spend the rest of the time as you choose. As I explained yesterday, we'll be channeling the Valley's energy to empower your training, but in order to do it as efficiently as possible, we will limit it to the mornings. You can also train it during the rest of the day, but you will get inferior results. Training makes your body and mind tired - and that will not be a problem for now, but there may come a time in which danger lurks around the corner. If it comes to that, you must avoid getting so tired that you can't defend yourselves. Work is fundamental to keep the Temple running, and everyone who inhabits it is expected to contribute. You will receive money in compensation, but you will only be able to spend it when travelling merchants pass through here. I advise you to use evenings to build your relationships with your peers. Past this hall there are the West and East wings of the library, and the rest of the training grounds are beyond them. You will find it easiest to develop different parts of yourselves at different areas, so make sure to have a proper look at all of them. I trust you'll do your best."// <<link [[Start training period|Map]]>><<script>> initTrainingPeriodPassionTemple(); for ( var character of getActiveSimulationCharactersArray() ) { gC(character).restoreMood(); } <</script>><</link>>

$customRoomIntro All Candidates are having breakfast together in the Dining Hall. Today's plate is an assortment of fried mushrooms accompanied by smaller pieces of fruits from the forest. Nashillbyir, Valtan, Padmiri and you share a casual conversation about your new lives. Maaterasu pays attention, but doesn't intervene. Claw doesn't look at any of you - she simply finishes her plate fast and leaves as soon as possible. Maaterasu finishes soon too, due to avoiding opening her mouth for anything other than eating, and so does Nash, who does everything with haste during the morning. When you're done with your plate, you notice that Val was already done as well, but she stayed to keep talking anyway. You shrug it off and leave to the Training Grounds.

$customRoomIntro It's so early in the morning that the sky itself has barely woken up, yet every Candidate is already reunited in the training grounds, summoned by Drishtya. //"Greetings, Candidates. I hope you're awake and perceptive, despite the time."// Fortunately, you're awake. Frustrated and tired due to waking up this early, but awake. //"I have called you here because some of you aren't familiar enough with magic, which isn't exactly a balanced situation. This is something that should be corrected as early in your training as possible. And by this I mean we will correct it now."// //Saying I'm not familiar with magic is quite the understatement.// //"As you must know, every living being is sustained by aether, which is present in all things. When you do actions as basic as walking and talking, you are instinctively using aether to move your body."// Her left arm moves in circular motion until it is in front of her. //"Magic is a consciouss effort to manipulate the aether that is not connected to your own body."// She closes her hand, and some small wind blows around her, carrying a couple of leaves. //"In order to do this, you must feel the nature around you as part of your very being, and move it as if it was your own selves."// The wind gets stronger and stronger, and you feel it pulling you towards Drishtya. It suddenly stops - when the Priestess Regent opens her hand, you notice a small ball built from countless moving white and gray threads. She agitates it, and it immediately collapses, turning into a gust of wind that explodes into all directions. //"Achieving mastery of magic takes considerable dedication, and often proper guidance."// [[Continue|SE Magic Class Getting Started]] <<removeclass "#right-ui-bar" "stowed">> \

$customRoomIntro //"Nashillbyir, Claw and $chPlayerCharacter.name, step forward."// You do as she commands and you look at the other two. Nash returns the look, apparently knowing as little as you. //"I assume you have never used magic."// //"I haven't."// //"Neither have I."// //"I haven't either."// //"Very well. Extend your hands forwards, and focus on them. Take note of everything they feel, and try extending your consciousness to the elements that are behind those feelings. The Sun, the wind, your own muscles..."// //My... Consciousness? Extending it? What does she...?// You understand soon enough. After focusing on it for a few seconds, you read the thoughts of the wind, and you read the thoughts of the sunlight. They're basic and primal, and they could be translated as //I exist// or //I flow//. //"Drishtya?"// //"Yes?"// //"We can practice magic as well, right? We didn't come here just to watch."// //"Of course, you're free to practice and ask me anything. These three will appreciate the demonstration as well."// //"That's nice to hear."// You turn around to satisfy your curiosity. Val walks confidently towards Mir, who observes her at first but soon turns shy, and avoids her face for moments. When Val is in front of the Leirien, she takes the green girl's shoulders. //"A-A-Ah, what-what are you-"// //"Relax, Mir, you have to feel the elements."// Valtan moves forward and completely hugs her. //"I'ts coooold! Why! Why do you!?"// //"I just wanted you to warm me up..."// //"Valtan is projecting cold to Padmiri on touch. That may require some hard work for you - but for Shapeshifters it's relatively natural to learn projecting magic with our own bodies, since we use similar skills during shapeshifting."// [[Continue|SE Magic Class Catching Up]]

$customRoomIntro //"For now, I recommend you try casting manifestations of the elements themselves. Fire, cold and thunder fit the best for new magicians, since they don't require considerably high precision to be used effectively. Focus on the elements around your hand and try moving them as if they were your own limbs, giving them the form and the essence you want."// You try doing as she asks. You manage to agitate the wind, to move it around, to make it stay quiet. Or at least, you think it is //your// doing, and not the natural movement of the wind... But it doesn't look like it's turning into anything else. You take a quick look at Claw, who frowns as she looks at her own shaking hand. You glance at Nash too, who is in a similar position... But a very small flash appears out of nowhere and she steps back, scared. //"Good job, Nashillbyir, you're on the right track."// After a long breath, you go back to "action". After a couple of minutes, you notice a small, persistent, cyan glow above your fingers. You contain your breath, trying not to lose focus, and it finally turns into a snowflake, which breaks into nothingness, but not before another one is formed at its corner... And then another one, and another, and another - but you notice you need to breathe, and they all shatter and disappear. //"Congratulations. It looks like you've got the basics. Continue building from them and you'll achieve great things."// //What? Me?// Drishtya is indeed looking at you. //Oh, no! She means me! I need to hide!// //"Gaagnnggh!"// You immediately turn around and notice Maaterasu is bracing herself. The culprit is, as it was to be expected, Valtan, who has had enough of bullying Padmiri and is now freezing Maaterasu from afar. The Aiishen girl was caught by surprise for paying attention to your practice. //Wait, everyone is looking at Ate and Val, I could catch someone by surprise now...

$customRoomIntro You decide against imitating Valtan's foul behavior. You pay no mind to the others and focus instead on perfecting your own casting, before you try it in a real confrontation. You cast snowflakes again, but this time you move your hands backwards, leaving a trail of cold dust behind them. Next time, you push the snowflakes forwards, but they don't fly too far. After a couple of tries, you paint in your mind the image of the freezing air advancing ahead of you... And you manage to recreate it in reality, though it lacks the intensity you desired. Briefly later, something else draws your attention... <<link [[Continue|SE Magic Class Ate Punishes Val]]>><<script>> setPasChars([getPresentCharByKey("chAte"),getPresentCharByKey("chVal"),getPresentCharByKey("chClaw"),getPresentCharByKey("chNash"),getPresentCharByKey("chMir")]); <</script>><</link>>

$customRoomIntro You step to the side, positioning yourself behind the Ashwalker, and focus on your hands, pointing them at her. You recall your earlier feelings and gestures... And soon you're casting cold in front of yourself. But you want to imitate Valtan, and so you visualize ice blending itself with the air, shot out off your hands and directly flying towards... //"Yeep!"// Nashillbyir's neck. //"Have you seriously...?"// She asks, turning around, only to find out you're shooting ice to her again. She tries covering herself with her arms, moving her head to the sides and away from the cold. Eventually, she stops, looks at your own eyes, and extends her hands forwards... And a explosion fires up. A very small, short-lived, and not very bright explosion, that barely reaches the distance of half an open hand, but an explosion nonetheless. You both step back, surprised by the event. [[Attack her again|SE Magic Class Tease Nash Plus]] [[Congratulate her|SE Magic Class Tease Nash Stop]]

$customRoomIntro But you immediately grow out of your astonishment and attack her again. Nash goes back to covering herself, then stops and tries repeating her previous magic casting... Except this time she fails miserably. Shortly after, you're chasing her through the fields practicing your ice-shooting. You had never pictured yourself doing something like this, but experience is completely exhilarating. //Your domination towards Nashillbyir has grown a bit.

You focus the same way you did when snowflakes took form in your fingertips, and point your hands at her... //"Hiss!"// She jumps and turns back as soon as she feels the freezing attack, but you chase her with your hands just as fast, and your aggression continues. Claw tries covering herself, but gives up. She then moves her open hands to the front, as if she wanted to stop the ice stream with them... But she keeps taking the hit anyway.

The sight is so painful that you consider stopping your casting, but she looks at you like she wants to tear you apart with her bare hands and you soon discard the idea.

After a brief flail, you regain your aim and continue attacking her, without leaving the ground. The Tiger-girl, however, is right next to you, and with some effort, manages to grab one of your hands.

You focus your gaze on Padmiri, extend your hands towards her, and... //"Ayee!"// She's startled. The Leirien turns back and finds you. //"You too!?

$customRoomIntro On a foul whim, you have the insensitive idea of joining Val in her aggression. You set your eyes on the covering Maaterasu, move your hands forwards, and start reliving the sensations you felt when you casted the snowflakes. You take a look at Valtan one last time, picture yourself doing the same, and feel the energy flowing through your arms. //"Nnh! Brr..."// Maaterasu, attacked by both sides, takes far to long to think about her next move. She finally decides herself, and extends each of her arms towards the Shapeshifter and you. A few strange lightning effects take place around her, and your attack vanishes. A bit incredulous, you look at your own hands, and you confirm that you're no longer casting magic.

Sometimes you'll find the little ones in places that, according to your memory, had already be found to be empty. You were starting to wonder if there was something wrong with you - or if the flowers had a will of their own. //"Hey, Padmiri.

Nothing could I ever miss, they say, as I have wine, and almonds, and oils, and perfumes: they're the best a princess could ever desire, they say. My mother, and father, my subjects and servants all seem to agree, no one has a better existence than mine. Do you agree, my dear friend? Mizzin: As much as it may weigh in your heart, my dear princess, I must confess I agree as well. Sherellez: And so my dearest friend, safekeeper of all secrets mine, fails too to understand my heart. Locked in my tower, I watch over my kingdom of red horizons, home to adventures, secrets and stories, that will never be mine to tell. I'm the fair reigning rose of the desert, that's bound to be forever chained, inside a crystal urn. - Scene 2 Mashtracan: Warrior among warriors and chief among chiefs, the deserts all I have made mine, and theirs are the skulls of my buried foes. Behind my horde, I leave a trail of corpses and peace. Before my feet, large roads of honor and glory are built. Yet one last bastion remains to be subjugated, free of my yoke, and fearing of my might: they've tried to appease me with gifts and honors. The latest of them, their dearest servant. But as fair as she is, won't the wonders that this shrinking kingdom is trying to protect, be far more grandiose? Answer my question, maid. Mizzin: Your words may speak true, my Lord, yet my mind knows not of the wonders you've met in this and past lives. Thus, who am I to tell if my kingdom's wonders will satisfy you? Mashtracan: Many feats are sung about my sword and vassals, brave and fierce. Am I to risk them all in one last campaign, when this weakly girl shows so little desire to return to her home? Bitter fate would I suffer, if the last of my tales was one that turned pale, in front of my legend. - Scene 3 Mizzin: She who received the highest trust and the warmest love, has now burned it all. In a past life, I swore to serve my princess. In this one, I receive her word in secret, and cast it to the flames. For what am I to do, if she confesses her love for a warlord she's never met? Grand souls guide everyone's fates, and inspire devotion and awe, mine among them. They seek wonders, and comfort and pleasure unknown to them, and in their unquestioned desire, they risk and plunder the happiness of others. The happiness of their servants, of their friends, and mine. [[Continue|SE Discovering The Others Explain The Play]]

I have the artifact I mentioned the other day."// He hands a strange, golden, yet rusty cube to your peer, decorated by aquamarine hemispheres that bulge out of each of its sides. Maaterasu contemplates it for a moment, then takes it in her hands. [[Continue|SE Discovering The Others Gift For Ate]]

$customRoomIntro //"I must confess I'm intrigued. I accept."// Taototh shows a very faint smile. //"It would be best for you to hold each other's hands for this exercise."// Maaterasu takes your hand without much contemplation, and your eyes meet soon later. In them, you find a black lake, devouring of all lights, that engulf all illumination and warmth. It's only when everything has been devoured by them that you find the image of the Moon, white and whole... Which turns into an Aiishen. An Aiishen that has Maaterasu's face, and hands, and voice, but an expression completely alien to her. An expression of longing, of sad hope, that looks at you and beyond you as it offers you her hand. You're about to take it and- Everything vanishes. You're back at the library, at the Temple, holding the real Maaterasu's hand and the real Maaterasu's eyes are placed on you. //"...What was that?"// //"Breath at ease."// Taototh gives you a moment to realize that your breathing is, in fact, agitated, then continues. //"No one knows with certainty what each of you saw, but this spell should transform each involved person's honest feelings into forms best understood by those who receive them."// //"Does that mean... That I saw Maaterasu's feelings?"// //"Your own interpretation of what she's truly feeling, assuming that everything went right."// You look back at your Aiishen companion, whose eyes are closed - but it isn't long until she opens them. //"Are you both feeling well?"// //"I am."// //"I...

I couldn't help but notice that you've invested some time in getting to know Maaterasu."// //"...Yes, I have."// //"And you also seem to be keen to trouble yourself for her sake. This is why I think I may trust you with something about her."// His expression is serene, but you can't help but suspect that he isn't entirely certain that he should be having this conversation. //"That girl... That woman, I should say, hasn't had an easy childhood. Our tribe's leadership determined that she was fated to be someone of high importance for the Valley when she was born."// You suddenly remember Maaterasu's words when you first met her. //"Is that what she meant by having been chosen by the stars?"// //"That is exactly what she meant. What our tribe's tradition dictates. As the tradition dictates, she was forced to seclusion for long periods of her life."// //"...What!? Why?"// //"Because our tradition dictates that those who are chosen by the stars must not grow overly attached to others."// //"Are you telling me to stay away from her?"// //"No. I'm telling you to stay by her side, because she's ignorant in vital matters and needs your help. For the sake of the Temple."// //"..."// Taototh sighs. //"I hope I was right to trust you. Only time will tell. I won't rob you any more time, you probably have things to think about."// And he leaves. $eventsCalendar.finishEventButton
