It was his first time as a honor guard. Priests scurried around the sanctuary in a silent ritual dance. He watched them for a few seconds, mesmerized by their grace, then turned away and continued on his way. His job was to guard them from invasions from the outside which started to happen more and more often lately. Strange bipedal terrestrials, who were sailing on the ocean surface inside of huge wooden fishes with air fins, tried to disturb their peace again and again. The gates of the sanctuary closed behind the warrior of the depths. The guard which he was supposed to change bowed to him and turned towards the sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBrother Sheilesh.\u201d\u00a0 Istri spoke to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAre you nervous, Istri? Do you want to ask something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2026 I mean, why do these terrestrials want to enter our temple? Do they want the barrier containing the Horror of the Depths to be breached?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI doubt they even know about it. I\u2019ve heard they\u2019re called \u201cpi-irra-tes\u201d. It was difficult for the melodic, almost musical speech of Sheilesh to say the word in a rough, foreign language. \u201cThey are the greediest of terrestrials. The only thing they care about is golden decorations of the sanctuary, they disregard the consequen\u0441es.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI understand, brother.\u201d Istri bowed to his comrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t worry if they show up. They see badly in the dark and are feeble. I saw how good you are with your trident. You can handle them easily. Just don\u2019t let them point their metal pipes at you. These pipes are infused with some kind of explosive magic, but if water gets on them, they become useless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you, my brother.\u201d Istri bowed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood luck to you now.\u201d Sheilesh bowed to him and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Istri then gripped his combat trident in a more comfortable way and froze in the shadows, next to the sanctuary gates. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vaulted ceilings of the grottoes, illuminated by magical light, were left behind and Istri, a soldier of the Underwater<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":736,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kbtopic":[90],"kbtag":[149],"class_list":["post-501","kb","type-kb","status-publish","hentry","kbtopic-dogs-of-war","kbtag-characters"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb\/501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/736"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb\/501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":502,"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb\/501\/revisions\/502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kbtopic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kbtopic?post=501"},{"taxonomy":"kbtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signumgames.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kbtag?post=501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
