[Quest] A Trip to the Temple

Myselia Nyril de Heiron.  Elf form.
Darrinvale.  Half-elf form.


"Why are we coming out here, again?" Darrinvale asked.  He tugged at the collar of his tunic slightly, as though he was uncomfortable with what he was wearing.  His companion, however, looked completely at ease in her own tunic.

"Aside from the ball in Ulhaven, have we ever just... left and did something together?" Myselia asked.  "Aside from the fact that it would've been seen as improper when I was your arbiter..."
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

"Human", Rag'n'Bone Man

"You raise an excellent point, on both fronts," Darrinvale said, frowning as he looked down.  "Were these clothes absolutely necessary, though?" he asked, not mindful of the monk that they were passing.

"Greetings, travelers.  I hope that you find what it is that you are seeking here," he said in a quiet voice, and Myselia dipped her head in respect.

"Thank you," she said, and then, she turned to Darrinvale, a certain gleam in her eyes.

"If you were in your regular attire, that monk would have likely been tripping over himself in greeting you," Myselia said, and Darrinvale relented slightly as he gave a single nod.

"Very well, I see your point, my dear," he said, taking her hand gently and pressing it against his lips gently.  "I suppose there is a certain... allure to being incognito among the populace."

"There's an allure to it, definitely," Myselia said, blushing as her hand was kissed.  "There's also a certain allure to places like this, for me.  I feel closest to Heironeous in places like this--which is very important for someone like me."

"I can imagine," Darrinvale said.  "It's been a while since you last went to the Temple of Heironeous,
hasn't it?"
he asked.

"Since the last time that Azule and the others left, leaving me behind because of my... 'illness'," Myselia said, lowering her head slightly.  She was almost certain that her tryst with their King wasn't a secret to at least Azule, but if he was aware of it, he kept it quiet--as had Lady Talimra.

"You've gotten much better since then," Darrinvale commented.  "I'd imagine that you'll be wanting to to adventuring again soon."

"I'm actually not sure," Myselia said.  "I've... gotten used to just being Lady Nyril again, which is a strange thing to say, considering I was only Lady Nyril for... my adolescence, basically," she said, lowering her eyes slightly as they came to the steps of the temple.

"A long time ago, then," Darrinvale said.

"Prior to... well, to both of my pregnancies," Myselia said.  "We were on the road so much that stopping at a temple was out of the question--not to mention we were wanted for treason in Isnoth."

"You never told me how that came to be," Darrinvale said, and Myselia forced a chuckle.

"One thing led to another, largely at Gnolmir's hands," Myselia said.  "I've done my best to forget it all."

"Then it must have been bad," Darrinvale said.  "How did you even happen upon him, anyways?"

"Another long story where the details have gone fuzzy," Myselia said.  "It wasn't long after we found Azule."

"Ah, our Infernal- and Abyssal-speaking cleric friend," Darrinvale said, nodding his head in acknowledgement.  "That has to be an interesting combination of languages for a cleric to know, and to be associated with a paladin."

"It helped when we encountered the fiend in our shared dream," Myselia said, her hand reaching for the sword that was not there.

"Skyrkmir, right?" Darrinvale asked, and Myselia nodded.

"Skyrkmir, the Betrayer, for its smith was sorely betrayed," Myselia said, giving a lopsided smile as they entered the entryway of the temple.  "It... was hard not to attempt to smite the fiend then and there, but there was no way that we could have bested him.  It would have ended... poorly."
