— Westfallion, Capital of Dressin, One Week Ago —

Dark storm clouds loomed ominously overhead, obscuring the sunset as Josephina stole into the cathedral past the guards. Her whisperer's uniform slimmed her figure and helped her blend into the growing shadows as she made her way toward the vaults.
There were too many questions spinning in her mind since she lost contact with Markos and the ordinary told her to rededicate herself to other pursuits. No matter how many times she asked, no one would tell her why she was told to ignore her sole charge as a whisperer. Markos was the templar she watched over for the Church. Not even Emilio's whisperer spent her sole focus on him but Jo, her entire career thus far was centered on Markos.
I need answers and this is the only way I will get them. She reminded herself as she flattened against a pillar as a patrol went past. There are too many guards around. Who is here at the temple to warrant such an increase of security?
