IC: While I sat there in pain, making plans for our soon-to-come battle, one thought was foremost in my mind. That thought was of the mysterious absence of Diao Chan from this recent battle. Usually she would be at a base with Dong Zhuo, or covered by the guarding Lu Bu. But, neither of those held true, since I had seen both of them, and she was not with either of them at all.
Out of nowhere, I figured out what must be happening. If what I thought was true, I had to inform our leader immediately. But, how was I supposed to do that? The only way was to go to her myself, and hope no one saw me on the way. So, I painfully and slowly stood up, using the wall to balance myself.
Considering the time of day, and the circumstances of what just happened, I knew just where to find our leader. It took time, but by using the wall, and going slowly, I was able to make my way down to where our leader would usually eat. But, once I got there, she suddenly came out of the room
. In a shallow breath, I said, "Lady Tsumi, we are in grave danger. You must send out defense forces immediately. I know this may sound like an odd request, but please listen to me. This last battle was meaningless, more of a distraction than anything else. You were likely wondering about the disappearance of Diao Chan, correct? Well, she is the point of what I'm saying. I believe her to be approaching us as we speak. Please, you must send out some of our forces to prevent her from reaching us."
