Even though the Nation of Touch was in was with the nation of Sight, both Karina and her father, the general, weren't that threatened by it. They were winning the war at a steady pace. The enemy army couldn't compare to the military might the nation of touch had. But even amongst the generals and officers, there was a rather... uncomfortable rumor regarding the Nation of Sight. Rumors of a strange cult that was getting stronger and more influential as the time passes, rumors that even the King of Sight himself was one of the Sightless, serving this cult... Whatever it may be, it wasn't something that could be ignored. After insisting for a good amount of time, it was decided that someone needed to go there to take a... closer look on that matter.

Due to Karina's young and innocent looks, she was the chosen one. Disguised as a courier, she was sent to the Nation of Sight in order to gather information about those rumors. By her own demand, Karina wore clothes that resembled her old military uniform, but without the military decorations. It was close enough to an actual courier uniform so it could easily be dismissed as maybe a courier working for the Army of Sight. Coupled with a small badge she wore on her chest, taken out of the body of an actual military courier working for the Nation of Sight, her disguise was almost impossible to see through if she was cautious enough and even if something went wrong, there was already a small elite unit stationed near Shimmer Town, the town she was currently in, to rescue her.

[color=6ecff6]"I would like just a glass of water please."[/color] Karina said, walking inside an inn called The Dockside View and flashing the badge to the innkeeper, just as she was instructed to do. She had some reasons to go there, but other than gathering information, she was genuinely thirsty, after walking for an entire day.

[color=a0410d]"Aren't you a bit too young and... Well... I don't want to sound rude but... fragile... to be working as a courier? It's a dangerous job, you know..."[/color] the innkeeper said, after finishing talking with a very strange man just near her. Glancing to the side discreetly, Karina eyed the peculiar man, analyzing him.

She didn't know exactly what he was, but she had a faint memory of seeing someone that wore the same style of armor & had a very similar overall apparel. Shaking her head after a brief while, she looked to the innkeeper again.

[color=6ecff6]"It's my first important job... I need to deliver this sword to an officer. They said this sword is worth more than my life."[/color] Karina said, laughing as she carefully took out some money from inside the mailbag she was carrying on her shoulder. On her back, a long stick, presumably the sword she was referring to, was carefully wrapped. By the looks of the pommel, which was sticking out of the protective wrapping, it was a rapier, and a very expensive one. Surely it didn't look like something a young, female courier should be carrying by herself.

[color=6ecff6]"Oh, you would be surprised if you knew what I'm capable of."[/color] Karina said, with a discreet giggle before putting a few coins on the counter in front of her.

[color=a0410d]"I hope you know what you're doing... Things are not that tranquil with so many things happening here..."[/color] The innkeeper concluded, obviously referring from all the rumors and the war before handing her a cup of ale and taking the money on the counter.

Taking a small sip from the cup on her hands, Karina discreetly took a look around. Other than the strange armored man near her and a very elegant man that had just walked inside the inn with a familiar by his side, supposedly a nobleman or someone important seeing as the way he walked and the clothes he wore, a man that was eating some food and drinking something form inside a flask and a tall man with broad shoulders that apparently was a local, there wasn't anyone else worth noticing. Mostly common folk just eating something, drinking or talking. Maybe she could ask some questions to either the one that was eating or if her suspicions turned out to be true and that flask was filled with a strong alcoholic beverage, to the tall one to gather some information about the town and maybe even some other things like the current political situation that the Nation of Sight was in or even something about the cult and the sightless king rumor.
