Josh followed the crowd through a small grove to reach the ancestral hall.
The old Holy Daughter was sitting in the hall.
Josh discreetly observed this old Holy Daughter.
She looked to be in her sixties, with noticeable wrinkles and freckles on her face. Her hair was styled into two upward-pointing "horn buns," resembling crescent moons piercing through her head, with sharp tips exposed on both sides.
The horn buns were adorned with jingling silver chains, gemstones, and floral vines. She wore a black veil on her head, different from the other sacrificial girls, as her veil allowed others to clearly see her face.
Everyone was assigned work tasks.
Josh's task was to visit the seriously ill elderly in the village.
This seemed a bit odd.
Wasn't it said that sacrificial girls shouldn't have contact with men?
Clearly, there were men on her list.
