"I cannot think of anything why the Goddesses would name me such a trite title for me, unless there was good reason.”

Lethe pursed her lips as the man walked away from her towards the gate. For a second there she thought he meant to leave without so much as a word and had followed him impatiently. 

“But now that matter is resolved, what is it that you request from that fraud, Madame Astrid? I can get you what you wish, but I will not draw blood on my fellow tribe, nor will I risk making myself an embarrassment unless there is a worthy reward on my part. In return, I tell you to keep watch over the entrance of the Shadow Temple; for my former master might have dark deeds his conjuring within the catacombs for no one is allowed to pass the entrance from either side.”

Lethe sighed, exaggerated and mocking, “For Din’s sake, I never said to kill the woman! Why would the Goddess condone such senseless violence? Secondly, I’m not asking you to embarrass yourself. You humans are all perfectly capable of doing that on your own. If I were, however, to request such a thing, would not the ability to continue living be a good enough reward? 

"And I’m afraid babysitting dusty old Temples isn’t part of my agenda today. As you witnessed, I’ve already told Magus not to enter the Temple yet. As a Shiekah you ought to know that just waltzing in there isn’t exactly an easy thing to do-- nor a common practice. I don’t know who your former master is, but if he indeed is tampering with the evil forces that lurk inside that temple….” 

Her voice trailed off and, for perhaps once in her life, she thought it best not to finish her sentence. The old man was a fool and likely long dead if he was inside the Shadow Temple alone. She no longer had time to express her opinion to this Chosen Simpleton, however.

“Anyways… the artifact we need is a valuable piece of gold jewelry with a single triangle,” Lethe said, her glowing gold eyes glinting as if to enhance her point, “Artifact or no, make sure you’re back before noon else we may have to carry on without you.”

“It takes patience to get used to her. She’s quite the bright one I will admit,” Elder Lyotus chuckled. 

“Koridai… could you help me find the Shiekah? Oddly enough, he does not look like a typical person of the tribe. He looks more so a Ranger and a rouge than an assassin.”

“Yes! Of course!” Mila said in a very Mila-like way, “Why are we looking for him anyway? Is it a top-secret mission from the King? Is he a revolutionist? Is there going to be a revolution? Is he the ringleader? Are there a lot of rogue Shiekah? Is it a Shiekah revolution? Is there a bounty? Is it a big bounty?” 

Mila paused for breath and now seemed the best time for Kaiver to answer one or at least some of her questions before she continued with her usual barrage of never ending inquiry.
