A short time later, after sneaking in while the guards were changing, Talion had found the inner sanctum, and was about to find an entirely different kind of inner sanctum.<br/><br/>Innora couldn't quite believe she was doing this. But her duties got so<em>boring</em>, and there was an illicit thrill to this little transgression, and of making a man of this sweet youth before he went off to sea, as like as not to be killed in a storm or some skirmish with pirates. But as her robes came open, her skirt was pulled upwards and she fumbled with Talion's belt, there was no need to think of anything but the present.<br/><br/>"We must be quiet....we shouldn't be doing this." the Blessed murmured in between eager kisses. The two of them were pressed up against a pillar, one of six marking the way to the grand altar of blue jade, along with murals detailing the story of how Maur-Azur had so loved the people of the Azure Sea that he had descended from Heaven to guard them and stand guardian against the monsters of the sea and the ghosts of the Drowned City. There wasn't a treasure visible--maybe it was stored in one of the side rooms Talion could see in the moments between distractions.<br/><br/>Just as things were getting good, and Innora was sighing in sweet fulfillment, there was a noise from outside. It took her another few moments to notice, but as the heavy door leading into the sanctum began to grind open, she let out a muffled gasp.<br/><br/>"Wait, wait--hide!" she gasped.
