who had called for them upon arrival the
white Steward had to report in first
only upon hearing the summons could they
enter gu was unsure if this was a
long-standing tradition but it certainly
conveyed a palpable sense of malice a
holy maiden of the black which clan
behaving as if she were an emperor among
humans she brazenly lifted her gaze to
the high steps leading to the temple
scrutinizing them closely only to
discover that the steps were crafted
from Jade after counting she found there
were at least 30 tear observing the
architectural design she noted that the
black cloud Temple was not merely
shorter than the witch God Temple it was
significantly less imposing while gonon
was lost in thought the white Steward's
voice echoed from above the steps holy

Maiden ganion permitting her two maids
to enter the witch God temple with her
how considerate of the Holy Maiden to
even summon her Maids she found it
rather improbable suspecting ulterior
motives guu Tintin's contemplation
lasted but a moment before she ascended
the Jade steps and as she reached the
final tier she instinctively turned her
head to glance back toward the black
cloud Temple I in just one fleeting
glance she absorbed the view from that
side indeed standing High allows one to
see far she promptly turned back
following the white Steward into the
temple the temple doors were Grand
exuding an air of sality and Majesty
inside was spacious with a high platform
at the far end upon which rested a wide
Throne adorned with various gemstones
illuminated by a warm Ray of sunlight
that cast a brilliant glow upon it a top
the throne sat a graceful woman clad in
a long black silk gown her face
concealed by a black veil a crown rested
upon her head her black hair cascading
like a waterfall over her shoulders she
Blended seamlessly with the dark attire

resonated echoing in the AI art guu
tontion instinctively surveyed her
surroundings only to realize that low
platforms stood on either side of the
temple guien was rising from the first
seat on the left descending the steps to
approach her perhaps the prominence of
the high platform had drawn her
attention away or perhaps the dimness of
the side platforms had concealed them
she had completely overlooked them
though the other seats remained
unoccupied the imposing presence of the
elevated platforms evoked a momentary
disorientation within her akin to
stepping into a hall venerating
countless deities standing in in the
vast Center she felt like an
insignificant ant rooted in place her
gaze wandered in a days though not fear

reached her side perceiving her disarray
and gently took her hand to guide her
further his hand was dry and warm while
hers felt soft and cool I in that
instant it felt as though they had
reverted to years past when he would
guide her cautious of her stumbling yet
also wary of her becoming overly reliant
on him and refusing to walk on her own

silently observed as the two made their
way forward finally coming to a halt 5 m
