Hadn't Tracy already returned to the Black Death? How had she ended up like this again? Had she run into her mother, or an even more terrifying enemy?
According to what The Tower revealed at the last Tarot Club meeting, both her mother and her mom were likely under the Intis envoy's control... Had they made another move?
Was that envoy determined to wipe out the White Saintess's entire family?
Then again, Tracy had transported native slaves under orders, and now island natives had found her and were trying to "sell" her to me...
In a way, wasn't that karma?
As his thoughts raced, Klein set the matter aside for the moment and continued browsing the prayers of the Sea God's followers. He soon found several similar requests for "sacrifice," clearly from the same group as the fisherman earlier.
Tracy still had some luck. The fishermen were on a remote, uninhabited island, and no one else had discovered her yet...
As he thought this, another "message" caught his eye.
It came from Karat, Edmonton, and other former leaders of the Sea God Church. They reported that the Governor's Mansion had paid them to find Vice Admiral of Ailment.
The Governor's Mansion... Again? They invited me to a banquet before, and now they're looking for Tracy... Could the two be connected?
With that thought, Klein picked up the Sea God Scepter and poured his spirituality into a point of light.
He did not issue a broadcast-style oracle. It might have been too much for him to bear, and it would have been difficult to keep secret.
He chose the leader of the fishermen who had requested the "sacrifice" and spoke in a deep voice against a backdrop of towering waves:
"Hide her. Protect her.
"Don't let anyone else find her."
