A Sacrifice of Bread

As Arattavesh gives you grain, you shall give her back. A slice of every
loaf made before the next new moon shall be hers, and the bakers will be
giving their share starting tomorrow. But this loaf is special, the first
loaf baked from new grain, and it is reserved for the junior priest of the
temple. Which is you.

You know that you shall not be too stingy and cut only the skin. You also
know you have to be exact and not cut a too big of a slice off. But that is
no issue. You end up with a slice that is just right, and place it in the
bowl before the idol.

After this is done, you lay the knife back down, and recite one of the old
hymns, too old for people to understand anymore. You feel that Arattavesh
is pleased in you as you walk up to the roof of the temple house and then
across to the end of the block.
