  Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  A rain-soaked entrance hall. Marble floor, scattered droplets.

  Votive lamps burn along a colonnade, their light soft and warm.

  A young woman enters frame—barefoot, drenched, clutching a thin coat.

  She pauses, head lowered, uncertain.

  Two robed acolytes approach from the shadows.

  Their movements are calm, measured.

  They gesture inward, inviting her to step further.

  She complies.

  The heavy doors close behind her with ceremonial precision.

  A priestess approaches from deeper within the corridor—

  robes layered, sleeves embroidered in pale gold sigils.

  Her face is veiled.

  The girl holds her coat tighter, then hesitates.

  The priestess raises one hand—

  palm downward, fingers steady.

  The girl drops to her knees.

  She kneels—motionless.

  The priestess lowers her hand further—

  a slow, deliberate signal.

  Two acolytes step to either side of the girl, not restraining, simply present.

  The girl exhales, shoulders sinking.

  Her hands loosen their grip on the coat.

  She begins to lift it from her shoulders.
