Temple of love II

Finnegan stood before the Temple of Eloria, a tall, vaulted cathedral covered in stained glass. He found it ironic that the goddess of protection had a temple made of such brittle material.

"Perhaps that is the point... One is to seek protection through the goddess, not man and his creations," he mused to himself.

A white-robed priest with a shaven head greeted Finnegan at the front doors. With his hood up and head low, Finnegan asked to see Narissa. The priest, after uttering a short prayer, instructed him to remove his shoes. Led into a windowless room with chairs surrounding a round table, Finnegan wondered if the priest intended to hand him over to the city authorities. He held his magical master key near the door; it vibrated gently, indicating his escape option. Nonetheless, he decided to wait.

After some time, Athena and the priest entered the room. Athena's armor and helmet were wet from the morning drizzle outside.
