Ingrid
Ingrid approached the shrine slowly, willing her mind to be silent as she knelt to the ground before the holy masterpiece. Removing her mittens so that she could clasp her fingers together in prayer, she inhaled deeply and began to recite a hymn — a short ode to the Old Gods that she found in a book during her time here in Halo.
"For the continued survival of those in Halo, I thank you. For the life and the body I now have, I thank you. For the safe passage of the fallen, I thank you," she whispered, closing her eyes.
"I offer myself up to you, the Ancient and Divine, as your mortal servant. Whatever you would have me do, I shall make it my purpose. I ask only for some small guidance in my effort to best follow you, and yet perhaps even that is too much."
