Whispers of the past

[Drakaisyl]

Dressed in her ritual clothing Saya slowly walked down the corridor. She was barefood as she was always when she walked the halls of Kinkaku-ji. It was her own way to show this sacred place her respect by not carrying any dirt from her shoes into the Shrine. Some of the Sisters she met looked at her - especially at the mask she wore. It was uncommon in the sisterhood for someone to wear mask even when she was with her sisters.

Saya slowly walked on. Not looking left or right, only straight to the door to the main shrine. When reaching the door her fingers ran over the door, as if she would follow paintings or carvings - which obviously weren't there. Taking a deep breath she finally touched the door to open it.

After she completed the rituals needed to enter the main temple she entered the main structure. The special arrangement of candles made the red crystal of her mask shimmer and the pearls she had aound her neck look like blaze. She noticed the pristress and a other sister within her talk. Giving them a small nod she walked on to one of the few side shrines. Reaching one of them she kneeled down bowed shortly.Then carefully she removed the maks and placed it in front of her. She then closed her eyes and her lips formed silent preyers.
