[i]In the Crimsian Borough, Sunrise[/i]

Cassia woke with a start as a hand clamped over her mouth, stifling the scream that followed. Her panicked eyes adjusted to the dim light to see Dimitri looking down at her, with a finger to his lips indicating silence. Whispering, [b][i]"Get dressed, quickly, we have to get out of here."[/i][/b] He began packing food, waterskins, and other necessities from her apartment into their knapsacks. Having dressed herself, [b][i]"Dimitri, what is going on?"[/i][/b]

[b][i]"The former Marked Ones, they are up to something, and they intend to kidnap you to accomplish it. I don't know what it is exactly, but we have to get you somewhere safe."[/i][/b]

She nodded, and helped him in the packing. Shortly after, the two were ready, and Dimitri creaked open the door, glancing down the street, seeing no threat. He crept out, staying close to the walls of the shacks, with Cassia following close behind. The pair made their way through the shaded back streets and alleys, heading for the center of the city. The city was slowly awakening, people heading to work, couriers making way with their first deliveries, and it seemed as if they were going to make it out unnoticed. They turned into an alley, when Dimitri picked up the pace, [b][i]"We're being followed, hurry."[/i][/b]

They raced down the alley, and turned left, only to find themselves at a dead end. Dimitri turned, drawing his shortsword, knowing that whoever was following would have to reveal themselves. Cassia backed further into the dead end, to give Dimitri the space he needed to fight without worry. Her eyes fell upon a small weed growing near the wall of the alley, when she gasped, her world going white, as a Vision took over her. 

[i]Cassia was watching herself from above, as she ran. There was a nagging in the back of her head when she spoke, "The Unflowering leads to safety." She could tell that her running self had heard it, but didn't stop. She could see that her running self was following the advice, leading her through the city to a small shop called Letixia's Soothing Salves and Clinic.[/i]

Coming out of the vision with another gasp, she saw Dimitri and a Marked Man fighting fiercely. Dimitri wasn't in her Vision, and she was worried as to why. The problem with Visions was that by seeing them, one could change the outcome. They were possibilities, not definite. Dimitri caught the man's arm and pushed him against the wall, the two grappling for control. [b][i]"I'm sorry Dimitri!"[/i][/b] She took the opening and ran past him, distracting him for a moment. The Marked Man stabbed him in the left side. He pushed Dimitri down, leaving the knife stuck in him as he turned to chase Cassia. He made it four steps before he choked, and fell to the ground, dead, his knife lodged in his neck, thrown from a fallen Dimitri. Cassia had disappeared into the workwork of the city, as Dimitri stood slowly. He'd failed her.

Letixia was up bright and early as usual, having just finished checking her crop of herbs and plants in her garden. Her loyal companion, Rufus, was following her everywhere she went. She grabbed a few jars and pouches from her shelves, and placed them in a knapsack, ready to make her deliveries. Her first stop was the Shipyard, she was delivering a replenishment of preservative herbs for food. She smiled and greeted those that she passed, for most were either current or previous customers. Stopping at a small stand, she purchased a small hunk of bread, cheese, and an apple. She split them as she walked, nibbling on some, and feeding the rest to Rufus, who took it quite happily. 

Making her way through the twists and turns of the city, quite easy for an Indigan native, she eventually made it to the docks, just as the sun was shining high in the morning. The Sailor's Guild was her favorite customer, and not just because they made her the most money. They were always good to her, protective even, calling her "Their Auburn Witch-Doctor" in jest. They all knew that many of their journeys might not have been nearly as successful had she not supplied them, and many had been treated by her for some ailment or injury. 

Making her way to the Overseer's office, she dropped off her delivery and picked up the order for tomorrow. She had time to kill, so she stepped back outside, and sat upon a stack of crates, watching the hustle and bustle of the docks with Rufus.
