hrjMargerit finally gets a chance to see her first Great Mystery--the All Saints Castellum--performed by the Royal Mystery Guild in the Cathedral of Saint Mauriz itself.
* * *
The ceremony began out of balance, but the rhythms of the repetitions slowly pulled it into alignment. As each of the themes built up—each of the “towers” that defined a particular protection for the land—the patterns of the fluctusbecame more clearly defined. They were pale and weak compared to the visions evoked by an old, established mystery, but the drifts of light and sound followed their intended courses for the most part. The pattern held; it would do for now. Margerit's hands worked deftly to sketch and note the flaws and errors. Some were in the execution, some in the design. She longed to have another set of eyes on the work. Antuniet would have had useful things to say, despite her lesser sensitivity. How long had it been since the Royal Guild had taken up a new mystery? Not in this generation, certainly. It had been a long time since there had been any reason to allow an outsider to witness.
