<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/73/Sumara2.jpg)</div>When the statue of Sextus came partially to life Sumara instinctively drew back, nestling more firmly in Atraea's arms. The touch of the Wood Elf was reassuring and the rogue clasped Atraea's hand. She felt a glow of pride that her piece of deductive reasoning had proved correct. She watched spellbound as the statue raised it's sword and Adelaide disappeared through the revealed entrance.<br/><br/>Though the sword sunk once more into place barring progress into the inner sanctum this strange avatar had not yet finished with the two Elves. Sumara was shocked when a place amongst the noble order was offered to her though less so when her priestess companion was likewise honoured.<br/><br/><em>"I... I will follow you, my friend. There may indeed be things of value within, but such oaths are often binding."</em><br/><br/>Sumara considered carefully. This was a step she had never considered and the magnitude of this offer would change her life once more. For her companion Atraea, the servant of a goddess of good this must be a rare honour. The Drow turned her head and kissed Atraea firmly on her lips.<br/><br/>"I have the strength when I am in your arms my sweet." She declared. "Very well we accept this honour."<br/><br/>Sumara looked to her companion, ready for the cue to recite the oath in unison.
