[color=6ecff6]"Sil? Sil!! Where are you going?"[/color] Karina asked, worried as she saw Sil simply flying away from her, simply going up until she couldn't see her anymore. Something had happened with the small Sil, something that the Sightless did to her when he attacked her...

Without much time to think about it, she heard DB's reply, they had to run away from there otherwise they would risk their own lives and throw away the sacrifice and help that those who were disguised as Cultists gave them.

Running away from the tower, Karina and the others met with Chres and the rest of the group, reuniting themselves as they were led through the heavy rain by a mysterious man that seemed to be together with the fake cultists. Every turn the man made, they followed him. Many times, the path he was leading them seemed like a bit random, with them stopping and staying in silence for a while before running again, letting the freezing rain soak their bones and making them feel how cold it really was. From time to time, Karina would take a look around, especially upwards, almost as if searching for something but would soon continue following him. That continued for a while until the man led them inside an empty building, finally saiying that they were safe, before turning to talk with them.

The man introduced himself as Malkev, the head of the Watch. His words as he introduced himself were grim though and made it clear that he was pretty much what it was left of the watch, quickly indicating that the watch wouldn't be that much of a saving grace that the group was expecting. That said, he also mentioned that they have made... other allies that could also help them. Jade candle lanterns would keep them hidden while they were being led to this mysterious 'ally' Malkev spoke of.

After some time, they found themselves at the underground tunnels below the city. Upon entering the big chamber, someone who called himself the "Kharu-Natjer", together with some slaves, stated that they were welcome to stay, providing food and shelter. Judging by the jade candles, it seemed that whoever was this Kharu-Natjer, it was well prepared. Karina still had some doubts about who this "Kharu-Natjer" was, but since he was offering them some much needed help, Karina kept her distrust to herself.

When Karina went to get something to eat, she saw Chres on the chair, staring blankly at his plate. Seeing him like that made Karina feel a bit guilty, after all, Sil was with her before she flew away. The moment he whispered Sil's name was the moment that Karina approached him.

[color=6ecff6]"Chres... Sill... Something happened to her when she was attacked by the Sightless. She wasn't being... herself. I don't know much about what happened but I tried everything I could... She simply flew away..."[/color] Karina said in a lower tone, explaining and at the same time apologizing to Chres.
