Chapter 56 Chapter: 011 Fate (1/2)

On the temple's stage, nine children waited in middle of the stage when a bald young man wearing white robes and with some other people entered the stage.

”My name is Richard, and I will be the priest in this ceremony, so children stay in line and I will call one by one.” then Richard talked to a middle-aged man on his side and called.

”Adrian Fordge.”

”Yes, sir.” said the boy on the front before he walked to Richard.

Richard stood in front of Adrian with a cold face and asked. ”Adrian, you know that only a few people can receive a bless and serve a God, so are you ready?” ”Teacher, i'm ready.”

Then the five priests on Richard's side chanted a spell and a strange aura apeared in the room.

Adrian closed his eyes and felted warmth on his body when a crow descended and stayed above his head with a proud look. ”Welcome Adrian Fordge chosen by the Crow God, now follow lord Drake to see your parents and decide if you want to enter an Academy.” Richard spoke before he pointed to the middle aged man on his side.

After several hours only one more was blessed, Chloe Branches, Elijah's cousin who was chosen by Goddess of healing Eir, and the first genius in the clan after Ophelia was Chloe's elder brother Noah, who had reached the peak of the Divine Beginning Realm before thirty and was a teacher at the Royal Academy.

”Elijah, it's your turn.” a little boy who look nervous as he reached the stage and looked arround. On the right, he saw four elders from the clan.These elders didn't hold as much power as the great elders but nevertheless, they had quite a bit of say and weren't pushovers. Besides these elders were young men that had shown promise and talent.

”Uncle Michael.” said the boy, felling viry nervours with the eyes of the crowd focused on him.
