Time of Sabbath

[Wing]

Constantine sat in one of the many pews inside the church. Ahead he could see a statuette of Shalharra, the Mother of All. The church was quiet, except for the rain outside beating on the walls and the color stained glass windows which depicted various events in the history of the Jintu church.

Constantine then knelt to the statue and made his way to the altar. He bowed before the altar and stood behind it and looked at the congregation of people their, all of them looking upon him.

The cowl hung over Edona's head, covering her black hair with a shroud as she slowly raised her head to peer before her, the scent of the exotic, expensive incense hanging in the air around her, filling her nose with its sharp, perfumey odour. She slowly rose, pushing the cowl back from her head to reveal her soft, pale face and dark, voluminous hair, which fell onto the back of her robe like a natural waterfall. As the other Priest rose and made his way to the altar, Edona followed, kneeling before the altar of Shalharra and removing the small incense burner from her robes, swinging it whilst chanting rythimically as she coated her face with the ash that lay at the base of the candle at the bottom of the small statuette of Shalharra, as she knelt and prayed before the congregation.

As her prayers, quiet as they were, echoed out across the vast cathedral, she slowly rose, her bones creaking in quite protest as her robe slipped around her ankles with a soft swishing sound, following the other Priest to the pulpit. As they ascended, to begin their speech, Edona waited quietly in the shadows, watching the silent congregation, with their heads bowed, in silent respect to Shalharra. After this priest had finished speaking, it would be her turn to speak, and adress the congregation.

Constantine looked towards the ceiling of the building, pushing aside his long brown hair to his sides. After saying a quite prayer to himself, he looked towards the congregation whom still had their heads bowed. He looked, and noticed the other near the altar. He then turned back to the congregation.

"Please, rise, my brothers and sisters. We are here to commemorate the newest leader of our our Union."
