Chaas Qeta Shrine Novels & Stories

After the room stops moving, the statue and the head are back in place. "Welcome to the Dojo," Yae said. Both left the shrine and he finds the place completely different. Cai Kang looked behind the Shrine and saw the rest of the mountain tops as a huge fortress. It is gorgeous, taking his breath away. Both walked up the stairs where they saw a large gate and twin pillars with Shishi on top of them. Already wary of Cai Kang, the moment they laid eyes on them and growled, ready to attack the intruder. "Stand down. He is a distinguished guest that the Grandmaster is expecting." The Shishi stood their ground but still growled and let them pass. The gates have opened, letting them both in.

The sound of gravel crunching under the tires filled the silence. Cheska reached into her bag and pulled out an old photograph. Her mother, still a child, smiling brightly in front of a large house. That house. San Lazaro. A place filled with memories… and secrets. “That’s it, right?” Ben said, slowing down. Ahead, two worn stone pillars stood like guards at the entrance. Between them hung a rusted iron gate, half-covered in vines. Beyond it, a narrow path disappeared into the darkness of the trees. A sudden gust of wind slipped through the car.

We were ready to enter after finishing our pleasantries, but he stopped us. “I am sorry Luna, but warriors could not enter with weapons in their hands.” His request was weird for us. But I agreed and let them wait for us outside the shrine. It was beautifully decorated with white flowers and curtains all over, surrounded by a small artificial lake. A white shiny stone was replicated as a symbol of the moon goddess. We sat around the lake, closing our eyes as the caretaker told us to. A gentle chant of mantras resonated from all the walls, making it unforgettable.

He agrees grudgingly then, and sets off towards Terhaven. The city is built directly in front of the largest lake in Quindar, Lake Qarax, from whence it derives its name. The walls are several feet tall, about a hundred at least and made of marble and bricks. The gate itself is a large round wooden affair, and it's locked. The battlements are deserted as well, but I can hear the sounds of music within. My claws flick out in response to my growing anger, but I dig them into my palms and the pain makes me take deep breaths.

In the center, a fire burns bright, the flames stretchin’ high, cracklin’ against the hush of the evenin’. A group of elders stand nearest the fire, their voices liftin’ in a chant, their language smooth and rich like a river flowin’ over stone. Around them, warriors stand with their arms crossed over their chests, heads bowed in reverence. “What do you reckon this is?” I ask Chet through the mind-link. He watches carefully before answerin’. “A ceremony. Something sacred.” We step closer, careful to be respectful, not wantin’ to interrupt.

“Greetings, Lady Herodias. I’m Xanthakos Qadeer of Surya Temple.” Following his actions, the rest of the four powerhouses also bowed. “Greetings, Lady Herodias. I’m Claude Avery of Ananda Temple.” “Greetings, Lady Herodias. I’m Joshua Sloan of Shivam Temple.” “Greetings, Lady Herodias. I’m Beatrice Sanchez of Yamuna Temple.” “Greetings, Lady Herodias. I’m Zeux Yanez of Yunara Temple.” Seeing how polite they were, Herodias burst into laughter. “The Tirta Sect has been fallen for a long time. I don’t deserve such treatment.”

Eager to delve deeper into Thai culture, Luna immersed herself in the local customs and traditions. Luna began her journey by visiting the renowned Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a temple nestled atop a mountain overlooking the city. As she climbed the steep staircase leading to the temple, she marveled at the intricate golden decorations and the breathtaking view of Chiang Mai below. Luna took part in a Buddhist ceremony, offering prayers and receiving blessings from the resident monks. The serene atmosphere and the monks' teachings on mindfulness and compassion deeply resonated with Luna.

Tensha said. "Let's go, we need to tell great master Chen about this matter. Old Xu, you get the army ready while I Inform great master Chen. Although he had a problem with the queen, but he's so strong I'm sure he'll help us in this tragic situation." Tensha said to Xu as he walked outside. Soon Tensha reached the temple. He just wanted to knock on the door as he didn't want to enter without Tsarayu's permission so as to not anger him. He was even more considerate since he learned the tragic fate of the barrier of the Banshee tribe.

Adjacent to the temple is a five-storey pagoda. He gestured me to the pagoda adjacent to the temple saying it was the Asakusa Shinto shrine. I smiled at him listening to every word he says. He sounded just like a tour guide. He looked at me again and smiled. "Have you heard about Sanua Matsuri?" He asked. "I have heard about it but never had the chance to attend it", I answered. "This is where it is celebrated every year" he said smiling. We roamed around the temple. Within the temple is a quiet contemplative garden kept in the distinctive Japanese style.
