We stopped at a parking area just before the temple-like structure and disembarked. I decided I needed to act my part. I got out before her, and let my aura wash out from me. The armored men who'd drawn closer froze and I looked their way. A robed man was among them alongside a richly dressed woman who was holding some sort of crystal rod.
I offered a hand to Tilly and rolled my eyes when she smiled down at me with a look of triumph. I really hoped this had been the right decision. Once she was out, I let my malice drop, and the soldiers of guards it seemed more like, began to walk forward again.
I raised a hand to stop them once they were a few feet away.
The woman and robed man stepped out in front. The man was older, and his robes were layered with intricate symbols and embroidery. There was also an odd feeling about him. Like pressure, except it was so weak that I had to focus to truly notice it. Some sort of aura?
