Karan, after gaining the permission of the emperor, emperor eoghan, travelled to the villages and small towns with his people, conducting the test on people to discover more chosen members. The tool or object used to conduct the test is a black object called the true stone, which if a person who has been chosen or has a connection to the unknown touches the true stone a surge of energy will emitt, showing that they are chosen. The true stone sparks a trickle of connection to the unknown, which creates the surge of energy for the first time, which is how they're able to discover those who have been chosen. The river land was located deep in the southern region known for their ever flowing unblemished water. They had young, vibrant women who could connect to the spirit of the water 💧. They were known as priestesses. Each priestess is expected to choose a young maiden who will learn the art of spiritism and succeed them if they become deceased. The most popular priestess in the river land was Sarah rowan. Sarah was known for her expertise and unmatched mastery of spiritism ever practised. Sarah chose deirdre feywin as her young maiden to learn the art of spiritism, which is a highly revered practice in the whole of the river land. Deirdre was in a romantic relationship with caelin, but Sarah didn't like their closeness because if deirdre was to lose her virginity, she would be unfit to be a priestess and such is called staining one's pride. Caelin and deirdre really liked each other, although their relationship was gradually falling apart because of deirdre's priestesshood. Sarah started to teach deirdre how to perform the sacred rites of spiritism.
Sarah -' to perform the sacred rites of spiritism, you must clear your mind of everything and connect to the spirits that lie within our ancient waters 💧'.
Deirdre -' Why did you choose me as your young maiden?
Sarah -' I chose you because I saw something in you, something extraordinary ✨️, that's why I don't want you disappointing me.
Deirdre -' What do you mean by disappointing you?
Sarah -' You're getting too close to him'.
Deirdre -' You mean caelin?
Sarah - 'Yes, and I don't want you to think that I'm trying to get in the way of your relationship with him, but I'm only doing this for your own good, so you'll be more careful'.
Deirdre - ' But nothing is going on between us. We are giving each other some space now,although it's difficult to keep'.
Sarah -' I know it's a difficult decision, but I won't let my young maiden stain her pride all because of recklessness with a boy.
Deirdre -' I'm fully aware, Sarah'.
Sarah -' Good, now let's continue.
Karan and his people arrived at the river land to conduct the test. People were usually afraid of the members of the chosen. After testing all of them, Sarah refused to be tested, so she also refused deirdre to be tested as well.
Sarah -' I refuse to be tested'.
Karan -' And why is that?
Sarah -' For reasons best known to me'.
Karan -' Well, everyone has to be tested, so you and the girl are no exception.
Sarah -' Well, we are.
Deirdre had to convince Sarah to allow for them to be tested to avoid any complications.
Karan -' We have already gotten permission from the emperor to conduct the test'.
Sarah -' Fine'.
