The wedding was to be held in the same chamber as Rhiga's last attempt at marrying; it was a long, wide hall with seating for over 1,000, a gilded ceiling, arches on either end of the seats, and a rather large altar.
"There won't BE any security breaches this time!"
"How can you be so sure?" Vespion questioned the high priest.
"We've reinforced the wards around the temple, and we've added a disruptive barrier deflect any spell. Even if someone did manage to smash through the wards, their spell of teleportation would be disrupted. Only authorized energy signatures will be allowed through."
"And if someone manages to disguise their signature as an authorized one? It can happen."
"That is considered an acceptable risk, due to the fact that only a dozen or so signatures from the authorized list will be allowed in during the wedding ceremony itself."
"And who knows what they are?"
"Only myself and you, once I tell them to you."
"The last time, a vampire managed to get inside of the temple, and impersonate a real priest. Have you done anything to counter that?"
"Yes. Every visitor will be subject to a 'true seeing' spell, as well as a search of their belongings for concealed weapons. I suppose a mimic who actually changes INTO another being would get through, by even if they manage that, our security should neutralize the being, whatever shape it takes."
"I also hear that there is a copper dragon who will be attending." Vespion added. "I heard about it from Tallon. One of his highly-paid allies who lets him mine copper from his land in exchange for tribute." Yes, a copper dragon with copper on his land. Tallon paid the dragon for the rights to mine it.
"Correct. I've heard he is very trustworthy... and very funny. He puts a new spin on old stories, mixing them up in crazy ways." Copper Dragons were known for their mirth.
