Tempris was notified of another letter from Rinni. The Illness was still spreading around but the knights seemed to have found their groove in helping the people. Tempris's paper work was lessened due to the lack of changes regarding her people but it was still exhausting to have to get up so early and process work. Tempris had half a mind to not even help the good old doc but with the circumstance around this, he was beginning to seem like a criminal and she was more then ready to execute her god given right purge him, especially after covering her in blood. She still was shivering over the matter.

Because of the nature of the meeting, Tempris opted to not go in uniform. Instead her covered herself in her dark cloak and work a darker dress underneath. She also, reluctantly left her veil at home and let her blonde hair roll off her shoulders. It was weird not having her head covered. It felt... cold. After arriving the man came out and explained the situation.

"Really..." she muttered. Sure it would make sense... but why would such information need to be told in secret. If anything this should be told to the Rune Knight. In fact, she was a rune knight. Did the man not realize that if what he was doing was illegal, she would be the first to judge him in the flames of Illumin.

"Cold Collier's Gang. I heard of them though they arn't active in my district." Tempris said while folding her arms. To think some knights would loose sight of their responsibilities so easily but she wasn't allowed to go off and take down people. It was blasphemy. "I have a good idea on where to find the heretics. Follow me."

Tempris led Rinni to the stream before pointing out the location of a cave nearby. "That's the cave, according to the reports I read." When Rinni tried to enter the cave, Tempris stopped her. "Wait, if we go in now, we might miss out on finding evidence of their wrong doing. Plus, we don't even know if there is a trap inside."

Rinni was a smart girl for sure. Most people in the knights underestimated Tempris, but she had her way of pushing her point. That would be for another time. Has Rinni ran off to hide, Tempris found a large tree and bush to sit behind. This would take a while and Rinni was a doggo so she was sure she could relax and maybe say a prayer.

Wishing for many heretics to cleanse, Tempris waited quietly in her spot. Her sword rested in the ground so that the flames would not alert people to her location. Rinni was just as quiet though Tempris could not see her location but she assume the woman was around somewhere with her noise to the ground... or maybe in the air. Never the less, nothing was happening. Tempris shifted from looking around to praying and back over and over. It was starting to look like this was going to be failed steak out.

However, Rinni noticed some footsteps and the smell of some people. Tempris fought the urge to jump out and capture the people walking around. They had to wait and even Rinni knew that. After spreading apart some leaves, she saw two heretics pull out a bottle and poor it into the water. To think the doctor was not making up a story. Everything he said was true. It was not fair. It would have been so easy just to arrest if not punish the doctor. Now she had to do actual work and maybe report this to superiors. Then again, if she solved this mystery, she could take all the credit and get the other knight in trouble. A wide grinned creeped on her face.

"Yes, this is crazy. These heathens are the reason I been assigned so much paperwork. If only we could just cleanse them from this earth. But I don't think that will fix the issue. We might need a better plan, if not more support."

Tempris folded her arms and turned to Rinni. It seemed the werewolf agreed so they both made plans to escape the situation and report back to the doctor. They had to be silent as to not alert the 2 criminals. Tempris had to also be careful with her sword as accidently activating it would immediately reveal her their position. Lucky for them to two suspects decided to return back to the cave so their stealth maneuvers.

When they returned to the doctor, he was not impressed the discovery. In truth, it seemed like he wanted this information to be false. It was something even Tempris could understand. This being a natural phenomenon or just the doctors bidding would land much better in her eyes. Plus she could of taken care of it now without getting in trouble. Then again, how would they stop the natural phenomenon anyway. If it was some animal, then what made the animal do that? If it was do to something like a rock, then how did the rock get there. Thinking about it more, there was no real way for this to be natural. Only something affected by a heretic could really cause this much discourse.

Tempris sighed. It was time to go back to the knights. She would keep quiet if anyone asked her. Her ultimate goal was to just spend the night at the guild. It was already so late and she doubted she would get a good sleep at home. This was probably the best move, especially since she would have to come in early anyway. There was paperwork to do. Even now when she reached her desk, she saw a small stack slowly growing. They just loved giving her work that didn't involve hunting heretics. She was really hating the knights but what was a girl of her rank to do.
