Till Death (or Liftoff) Do Us Part

Once Domalai made sure the crew was fully informed of what was expected of them in the upcoming rituals, he showed them over to where the Rituals of Judgement and Joining would be performed.

As they neared the gate that led into the city of Orongo, they could see many other people milling about, waiting for their turn to undergo the rituals themselves. The crew, of course, being a special case, are moved to the front of the line. Thankfully, everyone seems to be in a good enough mood that no one puts up a fuss about it.

The first area they were brought to had a simple stone circle, around which were three smaller circles. Two Moai priests were waiting there as they approached, and Domalai moved over to join them before speaking up.

Yve had dealt with judgment rituals before, so when her turn came she just stepped into the circle with a kind of weary resilience, holding her hands at her side while waiting for the process to begin.

The chanting as it started was surprisingly gentle, despite the colors that flared up around her in reds and oranges, though as the song progressed it increased in tempo and richness, blues and whites mixing in with the colored lights already swirling around her. Through all this there was almost an undertone of sadness, despite the intensity of the music. When it ended, it petered off into a swirling of white and blue, the final notes nothing but the sad underlying chant.
