As the briefing continued, one of the members of the Guard’s Imperial Oversight Committee, Duke Archibalius Corel gestured to his attaché, who bent down, listened to whispered instructions from his master, then slipped out of the room almost completely unnoticed. After making his way out of the Guard headquarters, the attaché took a few turns, ensuring he was not being followed, then ducked into an darkened alley. A moment later, a cloaked figure slipped out of a shadow to move farther down the alley before pressing on a stone on a wall. The stone slipped into the wall, and then a part of the wall slid back noiselessly. The cloaked figure stepped in, and the hidden door closed behind it, with the stone outside slipping back to its original place to finish hiding its location. The figure pulled back the hood, revealing pale delicate features, large eyes that seemed to glow an orange color in the darkness, and pointed, elvenblood ears. A small smile decorated her face as she finally could completely relax. It was nice to know, Imago thought, that the Smiling Man thought so much of her abilities that he’d bring her in to an official meeting at the headquarters of the Guard, specifically a meeting to talk about the Organization and her, with one of the subjects of the discussion disguised as his assistant. But she had things to take care of, so she climbed down the ladder into the Organization’s secret tunnels that lay below the sewers of Calliasha, and on to deliver the message she was given, before taking care of business.
