At the 11th Settlement's Peak!
"Please, head inside." Ongle prostrated on the floor before a large, double door. The double door led into a walled living quarter meant solely for the upper echelon of the Settlement.
It was where the Settlement Leader lived alongside his closest kin. Those part of a Settlement were related to each other. It was one big family.
Hence, those granted entry to the walled living quarters were purely out of merit. Runthral's mother was one such existence, even before she had given birth to him. And after successfully birthing a Deity, her status had reached its zenith.
Ongle stayed prostrated at the entrance. This was how far he could go. His status as a servant was high, but hadn't reached the highest yet. Only senior servants were allowed past this point, and they had been serving the Clan for a minimum of five decades or higher.
