She strode to the brick altar and grabbed a ceremonial dagger forged in silver, her ruby ringed fingers wrapping around the blade like claws. The great hall was packed with followers who bowed down as Adiris entered. It was the sign Adiris had been waiting for. The chamber was bare except for the golden statue of a woman, who stood with outstretched hands, her fingers covered in jewels. Sliding through the gap, she reached a crypt hidden under the sanctuary. When she lit the candles, she noticed a narrow opening at the back. The swelling panic had to be contained, even if by a novice.Īnxious before her first ceremony, Adiris visited the priests' sanctuary chamber. Adiris, having assisted many purification rituals, was the only one able to carry on. It did not take long before they became too weak to perform any kind of ritual. Within months, the priests contracted the disease. Cleansings were being performed daily to answer the demand from outside the high temple walls, where a catastrophic plague had resurfaced. The priests were more and more in need of assistance. She worked herself to the bone each day that followed, fulfilling her duties while taking on new ones, as she aided the priests during purification rituals. Her worries lifted, and the resulting bliss made her feel closer to the Gods than ever. Swinging a censer down the great hypo-style hall, she cast thick black fumes that reached the cold towering stone pillars before dissipating. When she came of age, she attended the high-ranking priests during the yearly worshipping of the sea-goat, the God of Water and Creation. At night, she would pray for a sign that would reveal her purpose. She would tend to the gardens, prepare ceremonial meals, and polish ceremonial incense burners. To process her shock and sorrow, she held onto the belief that the Gods had a plan for her. When she was five years old, Adiris, the youngest of a family of seven, was left on the brick-red burning steps of the Temple of Purgation at the centre of Babylon.
