[center][h1][color=6ecff6]Karina Frost[/color][/h1] [sup][@Pezz570][/sup][/center] [hr] Karina heard what Tayla had to say with a stone cold expression. The very idea of seeing whatever that was as anything other than a cult was ridiculous to Karina. Was she simply unaware of what the cult was doing not only to the people but to the town as well? Despite Karina's cold expression, when Tayla began talking about how she killed her 'allies', Karina could help herself but let out a chuckle. Was she just dumb? She expected Karina to not kill them when they were clearly trying to kill her? That girl... Did she think that the world was just a sea of roses? When she began talking about the war between touch and sight though, Karina's only nodded her head in disappointment. She didn't seem to know the circumstances of the war nor she seemed to have eyes to look at the kingdom of sight to see how rotten and fragile it was. Indeed, the king was weak and pathetic, but if the nation of Touch simply left them to their own devices, that would only cause more chaos... Especially regarding the Crazed. [color=6ecff6]"OPEN YOUR EYES, FOOLISH GIRL!"[/color] Karina shouted, with a serious voice and a piercing stare at Tayla once she was finished. [color=6ecff6]"Look around you. Your 'family' did this. Look at what your little cult brought to this city? You wanted me to not kill your friends when they clearly wouldn't give me any mercy? Are you really that dumb?"[/color] Karina started, her voices cutting as deep as her own blade. [color=6ecff6]"Don't even get me started with the story that the cult came here because of the war... Open your foolish little eyes, naïve girl! The kingdom was rotten long before the war started. I wouldn't be surprised if this cult's claws were already firmly digging into the kingdom long before the war."[/color] Karina continued. [color=6ecff6]"Besides... You don't seem to really know the circumstances behind this war, do you? Did you know that for a long time, crazed coming from dungeons on the Nation of Sight fled towards the Empire of Touch. Killing, pillaging and destroying villages wherever they went. They went as far as to form bandit groups, which continued to cause destruction for a good time until they were caught..."[/color] She continued. [color=6ecff6]"You ask me what threat did the nation of Sight pose to the empire? Incompetence, that is the threat. This wreck of a nation was just a step away from turning into an absolute chaos long before the war! If that happened, like it's happening now, who do you think it would need to clean the mess and deal with YOUR KING'S incompetence? Your king tried to bribe us in many ways for what happened, for the crazed bandits, the villages that were destroyed and the lives lost, but he never once tried to actually do something to solve and prevent those problems... He just wanted us to turn a blind eye to the filth that were already spilling into our lands while letting his own kingdom ROT!"[/color] Karina said, looking deep into Tayla's eyes. [color=6ecff6]"Your king wasn't competent enough to keep his own kingdom in order. In order to protect the Empire of Touch against his incompetence and negligence, especially regarding the crazed, we took the matter into our own hands. If he refused to deal with the threat of crazed himself, we will do that."[/color] she finished. [color=6ecff6]"Open your eyes and see what your cult is doing to the townspeople. People are killing their own families, having their mind controlled by whatever vile power is behind your cult, burning their own houses and their own city! This is your last choice, Tayla. If you fail to see the cult for what it really is, the corruption it's spreading, you will be considered part of the corruption and dealt with accordingly."[/color] Karina finished.
