[Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting The Supreme One, the Sovereign, the All-Mighty, the Perfectly Wise.]
Uriel breathed out a heavy breath after saying the words with a single breath.
Crunch!!!
It was followed by a solid knock to the head from a fat staff.
Uriel grimaced with tired eyes as he glanced at the short hunched-back elder Ozvann.
"You're saying all the words, but you are getting the melody incorrect," the grumpy Ozvann snapped at Uriel, he'd already said the line about a hundred times.
It was one of the verses given to one of the previous saints, one amongst several hundred, of which Uriel had spent the last day trying to memorize.
'Maybe if you stopped hitting me every time I made a little mistake I might have gotten it by now, stupid old crony,' Uriel thought in complaint, but he didn't dare to say the words out loud.
