A Barrier No More
Added Tue Jun 14 16:24:21 2022 at level 51:When next I approached the androsphinx, curious of his condition and those of
the alchemist's family, he was waiting for me.
Quivdereayeh, you are here, he said.
And I responded, I am happy to hear your voice.
The androsphinx then said, It is my own, today. My thoughts are my own. My
will, my own. You had a part in this.
I smiled and said to him, That brings me joy, it was a most strange series of
events. Frightening and then revelatory. And now, I am changed.
And then he moved from the entrance to my Lady's shrine and said, I must stand
aside for you now. I am no longer a barrier to you. You shall report to me
still, but you are permitted to enter the temple grounds.
Truly? I asked.
The androsphinx answered, It is the very least that you have earned.
I burst into joy, I blurted out, I wish to hug you!
And he responded, You may not.
I blushed and chuckled. And with that, I entered Lady Azorinne's shrine.
