71: A future unseen

"Lady Dirac, are you not going to head in now? I thought you wanted to have a ceremonial bath and that is why you came here."

Elysia wanted to cry at hearing that voice but all she could do was smile and show that she was not worried about going into the Ceremonial pool at all.

'I hope nothing goes wrong. We cannot afford for today's ceremony to go wrong at all costs.'

There was a big reason behind Elysia's thoughts and it was the winter feast sacrifice.

The sacred power that would form as a result of today's ceremony formed an animal that would become a subject of the hunting festival.

The objective of the hunting festival would be to let the sacred animal find the eternal pool and cross over to the godly realm. In return, gods would provide their world with abundant knowledge and magic power.

That was the belief of contract that resulted in the birth of this ceremony. It was a sacred festival that was being held for a long time now.
