Nirina and her Mew mate floated around taking in the sights, until the stopped at this large structure. "What is this?"

[Assuming it's okay for me to post here.]
Siri was sitting outside the temple in her heavy kimono, the heat not affecting her at all. She flipped through a book that was in an ancient langauge.

[Of course]
"Excuse me. What is this place?" Nirina asked.

Siri looked up from her book. "Mineru Tetsuri, Temple of the Mother."

"Mother." She sighed blissfully. "What I would give to have known my mother. Or to have even had one."

"All have a mother in Mother."

"A true mother. I'd love to meet her."

"She is oft busy, but you can visit the inside of the temple to get a sense of her presence."

"It would be more than I've ever felt before."

She picked her book up, folding her hands inside her kimono. "Follow me, then."

"Gladly. Lead on."

She walked up to a small hole above the ground, then snapped, an earthen staircase opening to a tunnel.

"This seems familiar. I feel like I've been here before."

"Due to your Mewtwo blood, it is not unlikely that you saw it in a vision." She continued to walk.

"No. I think it was more than that. It's strange."

She nodded and led her to the main room. A huge fountain with a statue of Mother and Sandu over it sat in the center of the room. The altar stood on the north end of the circrular fountain.

She looked around, then locked eyes with an ajunsha. Her head began to spin and her eyes turned the same blue. "That's it. I remember now. I was once a ajunsha myself. Almost 20,000 years ago. But then I went to the mountaintop to meditate and...I guess I must have stayed there that whole time. Something must have happened that I lost my memory and became a morph."

She blinked. "I've never heard of such a thing. Especially Mewtwo existing before the invention of genetic engineering. Mother herself has never said of such a thing."

"Maybe I wasn't a Mewtwo. Maybe that's how my memories were lost. Please, give me some time to meditate here. I'm sure the answer will come to me."

She nodded and bowed. "of course, milady." She backed out of the room, still bowed.

She sat down and began meditating. A few hours later, she opened her eyes. "I wasn't a Mewtwo. I was a Mew. That's it. I was a Mew here, then went to meditate. I must have fallen so deep into meditation, I didn't even noticed I was being hunted. They caught me and conducted all kinds of experiments on me, turning me into...this."

The High Priestess was sitting at the altar. She'd not made a single noise entering the room.

"What are you going to do now?" Nirina's mate asked. "I don't know. Would I even be allowed back looking like this?"

The High Priestess continued to say her silent prayers at the altar, not disturbing her.

Nirina shook her head and started out, searching for Siri.

Siri was sitting in her room, also saying a few small prayers, but looked up when Nirina floated past her doorway. Almsot none of the doorframes had doors in them.

"I finally figured out who I was. I was a Mew here at one point, until they caught me while I was deep in meditation and turned me into this." She shook her head. "I'm not sure what to do now. I don't even know if I'd be allowed back."

"Of course. Morphs are acceptable in the temples. Mother does not discriminate. What kind of deity would she be if she did?"

"Would I have to give up my mate?" she asked, motioning towards her.

She shook he rhead. "Not at all. It is completely up to you if you take vows of celibacy or not. About the only exception is if Toala makes you her chosen. If not, it is completely your choice. Mother loves Master Sandu. It would be wrong for her to say others cannot love."
