Thank you for answering the call, Neph.

Searching about, Surraruthru finds no traps. Mirajane shakes her head, "I don't see any danger here."

With the all clear given, Afina flies into the temple just behind Jaela!

Jaela proceeds ahead!

[Anastasia]

The temple is decorated by sun images - all sunrises and glorious light. Pillars are inlaid with precious metals that form suns and sun rays, while the ceiling glitters with brightness. It's warm here like a summer day but not hot. The entrance leads into a hall, the entire thing seeming to be nothing more than a walk to view the images painted onto the walls. It shows a hale and hearty young man in fine clothes doing various deeds, such as smiting the undead, bringing light to the darkness and censuring fiends.

Farther ahead is another set of doors, this one made of platinum and rippling with goldenfire. It crawls across the surface like electricity.

[Corwin]

Jaela gravitates over to the images of bringing light to darkness to study them closer.

[Anastasia]

K:R check here, Jaela.

[Ebiris]

Afina only pays the images cursory attention, going up to the doors and opening them. Looks like they'll have to expose themselves to goldenfire again.

[Anastasia]

How many exposures do you have, Afina?

[Ebiris]

I've had 3

[Anastasia]

Afina feels faint on opening the door. Nonetheless, the door does open, revealing a larger chamber. Here a massive stone dais sits, where a relatively smaller gold one rests atop it. That one's all sealed up and ripples with goldenfire.

[Ebiris]

"I think I've made a terrible mistake," Afina says, having expected to be immersed in goldenfire past the door and thus not increasing her exposure relative to anyone else. "Surraruthru or Mirajane should open any other goldenfire covered doors in future."

Jaela can tell the images are that of Lathander in various roles - usually as the sun that vanquishes the night.

Meanwhile Kascha drifts over to Jaela, studying the images as well. Mirajane looks about and goes to Afina, "Yes. But what lies ahead now?" she asks, "I see light once more, so it is powerful, whatever it is."

[Corwin]

"It's always so strange," Jaela muses, not looking away from the frescoes. "Normal people would see this and see an allegory, because he's a god. But we've actually met him in person and I can quite see Lathander actually do all this, all hero-like."
