Chapter 108 - The Eleven Winners

According to the age-old tradition of Inna's feast, Chalukya, the chief priest of the spirit shrine, was given the seat of honor. And this action of Oman enraged Tissa further. Chalukya's ominous prophecy about Tissa was not a secret to anyone in Varta. Though he had punished the priest for his insolence, the blind old fool was still alive, and according to Tissa,  it was an affront to his status. He glared at Oman, who was whispering something into his blushing wife. The couple was sitting just below the stone-eyed, another stupid practice of southerners. Tissa couldn't understand why the awakeners were so revered among Garuna that even the king had to bow before them. They were nothing but some lucky bastards. Once he seized the state, the first thing he would do was demolish the so-called virgin shrine.
