Chapter 5 - chapter four

The Priestess stands at the front stage of the wide hall, wearing a white flowing gown, with a crescent of the moon emblemed on its chest as she performs the rights of the hunt.

Chilonis and Chilton kneels before her, the blood of the prey is drawn to a golden cup, which was said to have been touched by the goddess Artemis herself.

The Priestess dips her index fingers into the cup, and then rub blood on the foreheads of the sisters.

"According to our traditions," the Priestess speaks loudly her voice echoing throughout the room. "This two fierce archers have brought us the largest prey, and therefore will represent the whole city of Potnia Theron in the tournament of the Heraen games," she continues "Go forth and bring us victory."

After the sacred ceremony was finished the duo was summoned by the Regent Arachidamia, she stood facing the large window directly displaying the whole city.

She turned back as she heard her daughters footsteps coming in, she had an expression of worry on her face and a hint of sadness in her eyes.
