You were dispatched to a mission in Japan and departed from the Zapolyarny Palace at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 13th. The journey to Japan by train took approximately 6–7 days, but the commanders who were responsible for your welfare ensured that you arrived safely and undamaged. When you finally arrived at a fatui base in Japan, the head commander of the base had met you at the train to escort you inside the building. The fatui base had been decorated to your liking. There were long hallways that lead to somewhere important and a twin staircase that most likely led to the meeting room with your high commanders and your own office. Which you intend to remain at for the duration of this mission.

A head commander named Aleksandr escorted you to your office, so you can get settled into your new home. When he left you to your own devises, you noticed a letter neatly placed on your desk. It appeared to have to do with the nation's god or goddess. You've always wondered how many gods or Demi gods were here and how much chess pieces you were going to have to collect. You heard someone knock on your door, when you allowed them to enter, you saw a made of the mansion has come to bring you some tea and food as a warm welcome. Harbingers, regardless of what they rank, are treated like royalty to those under them, even though the harbingers are but mere servants themselves. You looked at the unopened letter, wondering if you should open it or not. The warm taste of the chamomile tea warming your body as you can taste the dried flowers.

Your hand traces the wax on the letters, feeling the smooth texture before breaking the wax and reading the contents of the letter. It seemed to be from her highness herself, going over details of the god in their area and who to look for in your search. Her kind words touching your cold heart, her majesty must be protected at all cost, to her and her fragile kindness. It also seemed she managed to find a new harbinger for both rank 6 and 8, having to replace La Signora after she passed away. And the balladeer for betraying her cause, she wants that boy dead, but she won't make you do it, because he outranks you by 4.
