The pair of priests were both men with shaved heads and thick beards under their hooded robe. They seemed surprised at Mia's approach, even as she started talking, though one of them seemed captivated with the view provided by her generous bow. The second man, placed a hand on the first one's hand, pulling his attention and nodding to him silently, causing the former to reach to the leather pouch he carried, taking out a pair of scrolls.<br/>"Where have you heard of our order? Did you hear our brothers and sisters speak of the truth?" he asked, perhaps suspicious about the direct approach, before they even started their preaching. "Is this all of you, or do you have friends who are also interested? We are always looking for the newly enlightened, seeking to learn the truths of our world, distinguishing them from the deceptions of the false and corrupt. Joining us means a rebirth and awakening to the real nature of this world. If you feel ready to leave your pasts behind, we can offer more than shelter and learning."<br/>The one with the scroll unfurled it, many lines of prayer and holy text visible as he set the long parchment over his shoulder, holding out the end as he procured a pen and a tiny vial of ink.<br/>"Those of you that know letters should sign. Tell us your names sisters, so we know who you were in in your deceived past existence. Once you are initiated to our grand order, you will discover your true names." he spoke, almost preaching.<br/>While the priest with the scroll would let them sign their names or put down whatever the girls introduced themselves as, the second man took the rope that tied Valva.<br/>"A beautiful creature indeed, and a fine offering. We accept this gift on behalf of our order. She will not need what she carries or wears though." he took what little she carried and motioned for the slave to remove what little clothing covered her. "We are your masters now, girl. You belong to the benevolent order of truth and and live your life in peaceful servitude. Do well and you will be elevated." he told Valva, while examining her, as if searching for something. A slave mark or brand that she didn't have.<br/><br/>The first cultist, with the scroll finished writing down names and continued his speech.<br/>"I welcome you sisters, and offer this truth as my gift to you: you make a commitment unlike any other. You must be true in your heart of hearts to be accepted into the order, but I have all faith in you. You may meet us in the town square and listen to the truths we speak, but I suggest you go now, gather your worldly belongings, tie up loose ends and bid farewell to your old lives. We will meet here at sunrise tomorrow. Together we will travel to our retreat where you will awaken and undergo initiation." he instructed. "Do you have any questions now? You must realize that much of what you think you know are false truths, but I shall endeavor to briefly answer any inquiries you might have."<br/><br/>It seemed like the girls were dismissed for the rest of the day unless they wanted to play the eager little acolyte and meet the preachers as they went about their business in town. Either way, the priests held on to Valva for now, not deciding what to do with her until the others left.
