New Era
Adeline faced the long, white steps leading up to the capital church. Her robes weighed heavily upon her shoulders, as they descended up the long, infinite staircase upwards. Thousands of pairs of eyes were glued to her, and she tried her best to not trip.
Left, right, left, right, left, right, she silently counted the steps in her head. In the corner of her eyes, she saw Elias's lips twitch in amusement.
"Are you counting the steps yet?" he teased in a quiet voice that was nearly engulfed by the chants behind them.
Adeline struggled to not laugh. If she did, it would make the people curious of their conversation. She kept her gaze forward and head cleared.
Seeing her determination and earnesty, Elias decided to not tease her any longer. He only wanted to quell her anxiety. Seeing as she was focused and level-headed, they proceeded up the steps in silence.
