She looked every bit the image of a saint… and the Pious below also felt the same. They accepted her wholly, bowing in obeisance as she was anointed by her predecessor in a specific ritual.
Immediately she was declared the Saintess, tears of joy resounded throughout the whole city.
A path through the crowd was cleared so young girls who could serve as her aide could pass to the front, just as she also stepped down from the podium to meet them.
She walked towards the girls with her white gown trailing behind her, directly into their midst as they stretched their hands forth, touching a piece of her as she passed. The ritual being that even as she passed by without choosing them, they were allowed to use this opportunity to touch the Saintess, partaking of some of her grace.
They would later go on to serve in the church as a result of this opportunity.
