It didn't take a seeing talent to know that there was trouble in Sapphire City. Traveler warned Rowena on the road that it was wiser to turn back, to at least wait, because a great and incurable plague had fallen on the city and was spreading through the domain at an alarming rate. It was strange that she had traveled so long and far, only to face this unforeseen obstacle while so close.
She had deliberated outside the gates for awhile but in the end, she decided it was time to go on. It had been a long, weary journey and she had nothing but a small pack of clothing. What small money she had managed to bring along was long since gone and she had already sold most of what she had of value. She needed honest work and she knew that the only place to find that was within the city proper. So, despite the warnings, Rowena stood tall and proceeded into the vaunted Sapphire Domain.
Rowena was not a city girl. Even after her time at Queen Delyth's court, she was sheltered and she rarely left the palace proper. Cities overwhelmed her and she was filled with a combination of awe and fear as she stepped into the bustle. It was quieter than she would have expected - possibly due to the illness - but it was busy all the same. Rowena stood, soaking it in, looking about for some direction, some opportunity to make her way. After such a long journey, it felt so strange to realize that she had finally reached her destination. What now?
