Flogged by a monster

Nori and Karina finally located the inn. Although it was night and the only source of light was the moon, it wasn't too hard to know which building it was.

Among a dozen or more houses they found, that particular one stood tall above the rest. Without hesitation, they ran inside and found the man with an eye patch standing behind the counter made out of wood.

While Nori proceeded to talk to the man, Karina looked around the place as she was still trying to figure out what was going on. The initial confusion which held her bound just after she opened her eyes, cleared up the moment she fell into the water.

However, it was replaced by a different one. Why were they running? Who were they running from? Where were they? Myriads of questions swirled around in her head.
