Skirmish at the Larissa Bathhouse

The Skirmish of the Larissa Bathhouse was a minor confrontation between Carina Persidus and Azon Komnenos.
==Background==
One day while attempting to bathe at the Larissa Bathhouse, Carina Persidus was taken down a series of tunnels and into the River Mnemosyne. Here, she would come to realize that she was the reincarnation of the goddess Demeter.
Upon returning home, Carina spilled all the information to her parents, who became horrified and concerned for her. As a result, they attracted the attention of the Larissa Royal Guard to assist them in taking Carina away. Due to this, Carina temporarily entered a catatonic state, only to regain consciousness when nearing the Larissa bathhouse.
==Skirmish==
It was here that Carina spoke to the two guards who were escorting her to the Larissa Prison, trying to convince them that she wasn't insane, and that the tunnel to the River Mnemosyne was indeed real. Carina then began to break down crying, prompting one of the guards to take pity on her and comfort her, saying that he believes her and asks Carina to show them where the tunnel was.
Carina then directed the two guards' attention to a niche in the walls of the bathhouse entrance, but said that it opened up for her. All three approached the niche, and when it did not open, Carina suggested that the two guards leave her on her own and stand at the entrance. After trying several methods to open up the niche, Carina burned herself with a wall torch in desperation, contemplating making a run for the pools, but then deciding on leaving the bathhouse to ask the guards for her healing her wounds.
However, when Carina left the entrance and went out near the street, she discovered the entire area to be completely abandoned and devoid of people. To her left and right lay the two guards on the ground, slashed and covered in blood. Nearly an instant later, two or more figures jumped from the roof of the bathhouse behind Carina, with one of them covering her mouth and keeping her in place while the other bound her hands together with rope.
The assailant, later revealed to be Azon Komnenos, uses a lotus-lavender oil on his hand to lull Carina to near-unconsciousness, where he puts a bag over her head and carries her away.
==Aftermath==
At some point afterwards, Azon gets in a minor skirmish with the Larissa Royal Guard near the walls of the city, Carina bearing slight witness when recounting the event, whilst still being carried by Azon.
The three eventually make it out of the city, where Azon takes Carina to Camp Eureka.
