| | In the village of Saichuushigai, located near the center of the village just north of it, is the temple in with our fair young maiden resides. One who has been kept indoors for almost her entire life. Given no freedom to do as she pleases until 'The Gathering' occurs for her. The only outer connection were the other priestess's that she has met whenever they came to visit the temple, or whenever she was taken to the great temple to pray and attend the meeting's. Other than that her notion to be freed has be rightly revoked as even traveling they have her blindfolded until the arrival of the destination. So it is they believe that if she see's what is out there in the world, she would become tainted and be incapable of controlling the spirit without letting it control her, so that she could become a true seer.
The invitation's has been sent out to the other high priest's and priestess's so they could attend to become witness to the new seer of Saichuushigai. At the festival they would be able to enjoy many festivities, and speak with the Young Priestess before the ritual would begin.For about a week now the festival had been set up and merchants had their booth's set up and the games and all the decorations has been set in place for it all. Today is finally the day of the gathering and many of the invited guest's were already here already out and about the festival. Seijin was still in the temple of light merely anxiously awaiting the time that they would finally let her out into the village before the gather. She awaited in the main hall, on her knees she had her head hung low and her eyes shut closed, her hands clasped together as she prayed to the large glorious statue that was before her.

| | "Oh holy one up above, the grand maker of us all, please bring you're gaze upon thy city and cast a smile upon us all to bring us nothing more than good times. Today is quite an important day as I, Seijin Senkensha, shall finally become a Seer as it has been destined for me to do. I will under you're guidance keep right and true as you wish for us all to do. I will maintain order and keep justice in place, I will spread you're word for other's to hear in hopes to bring more of you're children back to you..." She spoke to herself in prayer as she kept knelt before the statue. The priest's and monk's of the temple continued to scamper about with worry about keeping everything right and prepared for tonight's ritual. Worrying themselves and making sure everything's rightly prepared not only for the ritual but also for their guests.
The village was live with festivities, music playing about from the many bards throughout the village, children running about and playing and many grand talk's about the day and subtle rumor's about what the new seer will look like. Not many had come to witness what Seijin look's like since she's always was kept indoors, all they mostly knew was that she was a woman. Some had guessed her to be some hideous thing kept from sight, like a sort of witch maybe, others considered her as a beautiful maiden. Some even doubted for her to be a woman in the first place. It's really ridiculous how rumor's spread and change from how they once were. Many other visiting priest's and priestess's were already here within the village out and about talking with the villagers and some even playing with the children to spend their day to go on by.

| | "...Within you're name I pray, amen." she said finishing her prayer as she slowly opened her eyes and she looked up towards the statue and stared at it with a joyous smile plastered onto her face. She was thrilled, excited, and over joyed for this occasion. she's worked very hard for this and been kept inside for so long, she would soon finally be able to know what the world is like on the outside. She's only heard thing's from the other people within the temple, and heard stories from those that passed by the window's talking rather loudly. Truly it was something she was just dying to see more than anything else, what mysteries would this outside world hold. she rose up to her feet and she placed her hands to her chest over her heart as she was feeling her heart beat very rapidly.
"High Priestess Kazakura has arrived, please hurry with the preperations and make sure everything is going as planned." Said a priest to a young monk who quickly rushed off to do as he was told. Seijin heard this and looked over to the Priest and she walked over. "High Priestess Kazakura has arrived I hear?" she asked, the priest looked at her and gave a bow. "Yes, Young priestess." Seijin had a even bigger smile growing on her face. "What grand news!" she said in an excited manner, the priest had excused himself and rushed off, Seijin took a moment to realize she forgot to ask him where she was.

| | I wore my ceremonial robes today. they were pristine white, with silver trim. The silver circlet, armband, tattoo I had received when I had merged with the spirits, and pendant were all adorning me and showing in full regalia. (See pic) The four of us moved towards the temple, those about us bowing in respect. I was lead by Kyo, the oldest of my family as was proper for me. I hated being proper. I might look like a beautiful, well bred priestess, but sure if it the weight of the jewelery, ceremonial attire and the world press me harshly. Screwing a smile on my face as other priestess and priests bowed, I continued to nod and work my way up the temple steps. Kyo squeeze my hand gently. Our clan was one of the most secretive due to the training and isolation we enjoyed. In fact if I did not know he was there, I would not be able to hear Takato's foot falls on the stone. One moment he was there, the next he was gone. Off to scout the area. Koji never released the handle of his sword as we made our way up the steps.! -- FINISH POST HERE> |

| | Seijin looked at him and she gave a small smile and nodded her head. "Okay..." she uttered as she looked toward's Kazakura. "Please wait for me, It won't take long they just have to give me a headdress, and then after I come back we can head outside." Her smile grew as she looked towards Kazakura. She gave a slight bow, The Priest looked towards the High Priestess's displeased look on her face, but the look on his face didn't change. He didn't seem bothered by her look and merely awaited for Seijin to walk towards him before he would lead her to the other room. Seijin wasn't gone for more than ten minutes, before she returned with a rather peculiar headdress, one in which covered over one eye and wrapped around her head and lifted up above her head and encircled around it as though it were a halo, it looked to be made from thorned vines. Seijin just had a smile on her face, though she felt the pain of the headdress. "I-I'm done Let's go outside now!" She spoke in an excited manner, though she did feel the pain and attempted to hide it. This was a headdress that was done to all the seer's of the past, that way when they would leave the temple, it would restrain from them to get too excited about anything they see out there, the more excited they got the more painful the headdress would be, so they would be forced to keep a straight face for the time they were outside until the ritual when it would be taken off.

| | And so we stop and stare at the entrance to the temple. It seemed to be something she was use to doing. "Are you alright?" I ask quietly waiting for her to take that first step towards freedom. I stared at the entrance and wondered how I would feel if I was in her place at this moment. Most likely I would be just as nervous and scared to go out. It was a big scary world out there and she didn't even know the half of it. People would be out there to try and hurt her, people would try to use her for their own benefit, and most of all, there was sadness out there that she would never know if she remained locked up in this temple. but for all of those there was equal light. There were friends out there that she would make, perhaps even find someone to fall in love with, and most of all, there was life to enjoy for good or bad. All of this she wouldn't find if she remained in this temple. It was time for her to spread her wings and fly into the open. Everything changes in life, and one had to be strong to accept that change and make it work for them. It was a moment of zen that I had. One of those few moments when the clouds cleared away and I actually understood the universe. too bad I did not have something to write it down on. AS soon as that understanding hit, it flew away like a cherry blossom on the breeze. Too bad it never lasted, but I would take away something new with this experience. And for that I was grateful. I glanced back at her and smiled. "Are you ready?"! -- FINISH POST HERE> |
