As soon as Pristela appeared in the outer part of the temple, all the acolytes present there immediately bowed their heads. Pristela greeted them with a nod and asked them to stand back up. Then she looked at Elena's group and gave them a bow in greeting. Then she started speaking.
"Everyone, by the will of our great goddess, two individuals here will be getting the blessing of minor ascension today. Get yourselves ready and start preparing. We will be holding the blessing ceremony in just a few hours."
Hearing Pristela's declaration, everyone was surprised at first but they all soon came back to their senses and got themselves busy. The preparation for the Blessing Ceremony was not an easy thing to do and they now needed to work extra hard if they wanted to get everything ready in just a few hours.
