RAIN AND PRINCESS RETURNS
[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: WAY BACK HOME ~ SHUAN]
The next day, preparations for the ritual to ask the beings above for rain started. It was a ceremony done in Morado every two consecutive half moons without rain. The high priestess and the royal family prayed together with commoners, asking the supreme beings for abundant rain.
The ritual usually took place in the east building, which was the location where the sun rose. At the east palace, the ritual table was set between two pillars called the heavenly pillar. The pillar served as a communication medium between the heavenly realm and earthlings.
Mubera and her shrine maids brought forward the items required for the ritual. About six children were made to sit in a circle, wearing blue outer garments with a tied lizard in front of them.
Back inside the main palace, all the servants were dressed in clothes made with sacks of wheat, trying to keep up with their duties.
