Gillian: "Oh divine Maria. To you, I beseech Give guidance in these uncertain times so that we may better serve you."
High Priest Gillian has fallen into somewhat of a routine since his appointment as high priest of the temple of Maria in Atlas City. Every morning he would begin his day by cleaning the Temple... the whole temple... from sweeping the front steps to polishing the giant statue to Maria the high priest would handle everything. So diligent is his work some have referred to him as the goddess's Butler.
Gillian: "In your great name I pray... A-America."
In the evenings Gillian would finish his days with his own personal prayer, No one is sure what the final word in their great prayer means. Legend states that it is a word of great power passed down by the goddess herself.
Why was this priest so devout that he even took the time to do a job that could easily be passed off to an acolyte or apprentice priest. It is a common belief among Maria's followers that Maria would pay a visit to her most devout followers to grant them a single wish and what you ask is the priest's wish. Why to be reborn as a catgirl of course... To be free and for all the string to play with and fish to eat to her heart's content! the pure joy of being a Catgirl adventurer was the deepest darkest secret this Priest hid in his heart of hearts... It would be a total shame if this secret was just revealed... That's why this shameless narrator decided to screw privacy and give you all the contents of this priest's inner shame for your own amusement! Are you not entertained?
Ahem... moving on!
Johnathan: "High priest! Come look quickly!"
Gillian: "What is it this time Acolyte Jonathan? you lose your hat again?"
Johnathan: "No, In the sky! Maria has come to pay us a visit!"
Gillian: "What? Realy! Lets go see for ourselves!"
the two priests rush outside as they look up into the sky. Maria slowly drifts down as the world sings of her visit, the sky clear up and light shines down around the area. Several doves fly around holding her hair while a few more fly by letting off soft tweets. The High priest confirms that this is Indeed Maria, He could never forget her very image which he would spend hours on hours while polishing her statue! It was her! She finally came to Grant his wish after his long years of piety he would finally have his wish granted! Ah oh no! Is the temple repaired to receive her divine figure!? Absolutely not! How could it ever be ready to receive the divine being of the Goddess of Wisdom!?
Gillian: "Ah! I need to straighten up the temple for her visit! Come with me, Acolyte Johnathan!"
The two priests rush back in and get to frantic work cleaning the temple.

Maria slowly drifts to the ground in front of the temple as the people around her are in awe. Maria begins to look down the north street... Nope not that way... Then the East street... nope... then finally the south street... AH there!
Maria: "There she is!"
Maria points in the direction of the darkest part of the city where it seems so dark that all light seems to avoid the place as though it was the plague. Fortunately for Maria, they don't allow carriages in this part of the city. So she need not worry about walking on the street. Maria then takes a step forward... and trips on the temple's front step...
