grace felt both excited and nervous. after all, tonight was the night. the moment when the newcomers would be assigned their guides for their spiritual journey. it almost felt intimidating, but she felt so safe within this place, with all these people seeking answers and wanting to build a new form of togetherness that there was no fear. not like the place she'd left behind, harsh words and punishments for going astray. here, since she'd been accepted in this circle, it felt different. enlightening, profound, like she was part of a select few who knew.
and right now, it felt selfish but all she wanted was to know. to finally be chosen to continue the journey, helped along the way by someone who could teach her. biting her lip, she did her best to remain quiet and calm as she looked around the room, meeting other nervous faces, along with the ones ready to guide them, impassible and wise - fingers fidgeting as she waited for her name to called by one of the guide's.
