Ten minutes earlier, in the secluded area just outside the Capital City. Kurosawa and Shamhat are raring to go and save Payne Blanc.
Shamhat and the Assassins were there first and just waiting for them. She was leaning and taking a share from a tree when her heart skip a beat without reason before her chest tighten.
She tried to ignore it thinking she lack rest and it is a side effect of forcing her body without rest for the past few days. Even when they were safely relocated to Haven Camp, she still felt on edge and it only intensify right now.
A foreboding sense.
A bad omen…
Gritting her teeth, she paced back and forth which made the Assassin hiding from plain sight confused and at the same time wary of their surroundings. They knew something is wrong.
Suddenly, she heard an explosion far away from them but powerful enough to attract the attention of even those outside the walls of Capital City.
