[color=00B2EE]"Oh, just shut up and open the door,"[/color] Elle waved off his smart comment, anxious to get inside. She was practically jumping up and down in anticipation as the stones clicked and locked into place before the door suddenly slid into the ground. She was too busy try to see around it to notice Nil stumble backwards, wasting no time in walking inside and looking around the cavern they had just entered. 

Of course, the first thing that caught her eye as she emerged from the dark into the sanctum was the strange shrine like structure located at the weird, strange runes carved into the surface. A large stone face featured the center piece, depicting was she guessed was a dragon. In front of the shrine lay a coffin, all sorts of treasures surrounding it, making her immediately apprehensive. After trekking through this place, she had a feeling whatever was inside the coffin would bust out if she got too close. 

But something felt off. As she got closer, she could hear voices, the sound of chanting. She stopped, furrowing her brow. The song didn't sound like it came from within the room, but from inside her own head. It was powerful, ancient, and she felt as if part of her understood it even though she clearly did not know what it meant. She remained motionless, deciding to wait for Nil. She wouldn't say anything about the voices unless he mentioned them. If he couldn't hear them, then she must be growing crazy. Maybe it was the chant of the draugr buried in the tomb haunting her mind or something. Maybe she just needed a nap. 

Regardless, the closer she got to the shrine, the louder the sound became. She looked back to see if Nil had followed her, not so eager to continue forward now, though that wasn't revealed in her expression. Speaking of her mer companion, she had discovered that as this little trip had worn on, he wasn't acting as uppity toward her and they were starting to get along more like friends. True, he was still giving her grief if she did the slightest thing wrong, but it felt more like teasing than being critical.
