Early in the morning, as the sky began to lighten ever so slightly,
Yanis had already left, on her way to the twenty-first Ring with some trepidation.
The further upward one went in the Holy Nation, the narrower the ground became and the sparser the population. The twenty-first Ring was like a massive palace... and this was precisely the nurturing ground for the would-be Holy Maidens.
After verifying her identity, showing the token, and registering her blood and soul vibrations, Yanis donned a specially made gemstone brooch capable of recording the entire process. Under the guidance of two Papal Guards, she followed the designated route to the agreed location.
Each candidate for the Holy Maiden underwent various types of enclosed study here, communicating with the Nine Pillar Gods until they had fully developed their abilities, or they were eliminated if any of their data fell short, only then could they be let out.
