Cindy made it through the gate ok. From what we could figure, a good chunk of the Titan influence had been burned away. There was some left, but it was far less. Probably what explains the fact that she's just as tall as she was before she walked through the gate. Admittedly, I am kind of dissapointed. I'm a terrible person, but I liked being able to use the top of her head as an armrest. Ah well, what can I do? Well, I could hack her off at the knees and build awesome little robotic feet to nail to her knees, but I don't think she'd let me. Call it a hunch.
She says she loves me. I probably should have given her more then the Han response, and I think I will once this nonsense is over with. Maybe Artemis(or my self-doubt. Still think it was Arty-kins.) was wrong. Well...hell. Even if she ends up right in the end, I'd rather enjoy myself with someone I do love for a while, even if things fall apart, then to sit around being a mopey little twit all the time. I made enough crappy computer games under that kind of mindset that I still owe the Internet a few apologies.
In any case, we got into the temple. In proper sneaking mission fashion, we also managed to find what we came for. Unfortunately, there was a rather annoying Boss Monster inside, in the form of the god Tishtrya. Hal had wanted to use the possibility he would be taken alive to distract it on a merry chase, but...
Oh, damn you to hell, Cin. You're going to give me a heart attack, you know that? She volunteered. The taint made her a better candidate, as much as I hate to admit. And damn me if it didn't work. The god took off after her and the rest of us slipped into the chamber to find Andrew's father...sealed into a cage by a number of pillars with runes on them. Guess we've all got one to deal with. Runes and stuff ain't really my thing, regardless of how much I might know -about- them, I Don't know squat about disabling them. So...brute force it is, however it works out.
