Indra (Waterbender)
Escape Ba Sing Se. That was Indra's top priority. Nothing else mattered. Nothing but running. She was sprinting through back alleys and side streets.??Only a few??hours till dawn, the city was still??asleep??and??dark, no one would see the??body hanging from the roof??until the next mourning.????
Even as Indra thought this the truth ate??away at her insides like acid:?? He??framed her!
And she didn't even know who??"he" was,??including herself??there was??30 active Strangers. She she only personally knew 6: Aleru, Lonto, Pukar, Damicun, Satsu, and Misu. But, everyone who Indra was, the first female??operative of the Luna Sedai. She couldn't truly say she was friends with any of them, especially once she passed all but two in rank in her first year...
There's the motive! Indra realized. She surpassed seasoned veteran Strangers, that was sure to make someone jealous, but to break the oath...
Indra skidded to a stop on a side street near the open market. What a FOOL she had been. She ran away like a coward. When she should have faced down the traitor. He killed an innocent man and violated the oath of the Luna Sedai. She let the shock of the situation get to her. She felt restored confidence in her situation. She didn't bother turning or even moving. The traitor was sure to be pursuing. As was the Luna Sedai's way, because-
"No one escapes judgement." A garbled voice said from behind Indra. She slowly turned around, poised??already planning her??next actions several steps ahead.??But, she did not turn and see the one just??pursuer from before. Her poise shifted to panic.
"No..." seeped from her lips.
6 robed figures were now in front of Indra aligned in a??2 archs one??larger than the other, that Indra instantly recognized.??2 men outside and forward,??4 men inside and back. The Crescent Moon formation. Indra had practiced this maneuver many times, but now she was going to be the target, and Indra knew what the Strangers before her knew. The Crescent Moon formation was??always lethal...
(And here's the part where another character intervenes, but don't completely end the situation just become involved somehow)??
