Warding Off The Evil

Fire Elf Fairy Shrine, Shee Arsurinya Shrine, Ancestral Town, Sakura City.

After waiting for a while in the line it was finally their turn to pray.

They didn't waste much time before liting up their incense and clasping their hands together to offer their prayers.

They closed their eyes and silently prayed to the Fire Elf Fairy.

Obviously, their prayers were different, but there was a common point among all of their prayers. Which was that they started their prayer by expressing their gratitude for the blessings they received in the last year.

In the last year, most of them received so many blessings that they were able to change their lives completely.

So, they had to express their gratitude to their patron and ask for another prosperous new year.

A minute later, everyone finished their prayer and gave their turn to the people behind them.

"I feel much lighter now." Sayuri commented with a happy smile.
