[Temple] New city, new Temple

[Allyson]

Brightening 1 in the month of Immanis,
Season of Spring,
Era XIV Post Fractum

It was Spring, a new Season in a new city.

Walking in the town, the Sylrosian elven maiden was impressed against her will. Natura was prettier then what she had expected. It resembled the old forest around Silrosia where she used to live. Most of the 'lesser' creatures, humans for example, had preferred to live in the city. Not the elf, thank you very much. The elven of Silrosia built their homes among the ever-changing beauty of the forest and embraced it to their heart.

From a quick glance, it looked that the Naturans had done the same.

Allyson was dressed simply in a dark-brown colored dress with a dark-green belt. Her long and well defined ears were seen throw her hair that shined in the rare color of deep red, framing the delicate features of her face. Her graceful movements and the air of serene around her make her look like a born noble, even if she isn't one.

Coming to an halt near the Temple of the Blessed Hands, Allyson smiled.

Seated just outside the temple was a young elvish girl with rich, black hair twisted into a careful braid, cheeks made rosy by the chill of early spring. She had a pleasant face, defined by the sharp angles of the elvish people, and looked somewhat distant as she idly picked apart a loaf of bread. She was seated on a stone ledge along which the steps were set, leading upwards to the temple lodged in the side of the mountain, and she dangled her legs, her feet bare as they brushed against the stone. She wore the unshaped, white robes of the priesthood and they knocked around her legs absently.

"Ah, vedui, miss." The voice held a faint trace of surprise as the girl looked up to meet Allyson's eyes, a tentative smile touching her thin, pink lips. "Can I help you find someone? Something?" Usually when someone simply stopped at the base of the stairs and stared up at it, they were new to the temple; others had long since grown accustomed to the beauty of it entrenched within the mountain...as if it were a common sight to see.

She slipped off the ledge where she'd been seated, hopping onto a step and moving down until she stood before Allyson. "I can take you up to the temple, if you wish. If you need to pray or see a priest." She smiled sweetly, a true blossom against the stone background.

When she heard the voice not far from her, Allyson turned to the girl, examining her. Her eyes show her aprovement from the pact that the girl was elven through and through.

"Vedui." she said pleasantly and continued to talk in the old musical elven language "I would appreciate your help very much and would be grateful if you could escort me inside and show me to the priest." It was relaxing to speak in this language again after a few cycle of traveling and talking with humans in Common. "I would like to pray to Carmelya, but it is strange to think of praying to the Goddess of Nature inside a building." her eyes sparkled a little in amusement "It is her Temple, right?"


OOC: I would not even dream of trying to translate this to elven...

[Nimh]

ooc: your refusal to translate is much appreciated

ic: "There are many priests in that building. Priestesses, too." Was the response cheeky? She said it so quietly, almost demurring, as she bowed her head slightly. There was a faint touch of a smile on her mouth, a sure sign that she merely meant it in jest and not out of cruelty; here there was no reason for hardness. "If it is any priest you seek that should be no trouble at all. As for the High Priestess, we can see if she's about." She spoke in kind, trading off common speech for elvish.

"This is not Carmelya's temple, miss. Rather, we pray to all the Aetherians here...and a handful of planetars as well. Carmelya is reverred first in the eyes of many in Natura and thus She is most beloved and worshipped of us, but this temple belongs to all deities who have their hand in goodness." She canted her head slightly, nose wrinkling, and she smiling as if she'd done something amusing.

"But will you come? I will take you where you wish." She started motioning her up the set of stairs that led up to the front doors of the temple. "You can pray first, if you wish."
