Plot refining

The Nation of Tunnar is divided between the Geni: traditional tribes and Agri: clans that integrate foreign technologies.

Maha is born blind but with super enhanced senses. She is trained to use her abilities to sense water sources in a nation plagued by drought. The allied Geni tribes agree to send her from village to village to aid in the retrieval of water which becomes a rare commodity. She is escorted by elite guards from various of the Geni villages for protection on her travels. Maha grows very close to her bodyguards as they form an intimate bond through their travels.
This new initiative is kept a secret from the Agri who are also suffering from the drought, as the Geni fear their use of Maha would cause a great power imbalance and endanger Maha's well being.

The Agri Dictator Shar is pressured from the public to find a solution for the drought which has lead to famine and economic downfall. The pressure of the public is only enhanced by the impending election, during which he becomes aware of the thriving Geni. He is convinced that should he force his way into Geni and pillage their water he would start a civil war and that if he were to ask for aid from the Geni he would come across weak.
Shar devises a plan to infiltrate the Geni and find how they have discovered their water sources. He arranges for an an explosion to occur in the nations most popular commercial district in Agri killing many of his own people. When asked for a statement on the incident Shar reports the attack was orchestrated by the Geni.

With the full support of the people he is able to fund a force to retaliate against the Geni.

Shar mounts the Agri assault on the Geni villages taking many hostages for interrogation, searching for the water source. He manages to find out about an oracle who is able to locate springs underneath the earth. He pursues the oracle across the Geni tribes until he manages to capture Maha who is hidden among her body guards. Unsure of which of them is the oracle, the Agri transport the party to the capital to be tortured into revealing who the oracle is.

As they cross the walls of Agri, Maha's bodyguards attempt to hijack the transport helicopter causing it to crash. Unfortunately two of Maha's bodyguards die in order to save her from the crash. One of her two surviving bodyguards escort her from the crash and order Maha to flee towards Geni as she returns to the crash site to distract the surviving Agri guards as well as those arriving onto the scene.

Instead of fleeing she feels guilt for others dying for her sake, so she braves the unknown metropolis of Agri to rescue her bodyguards from captivity. Her lack of sight proves challenging in her quest but her enhanced senses allow her to traverse and combat through Agri towards her comrades.

While searching information on her bodyguards location, Maha learns of the explosion that Shar organised. As Maha nears closer to her bodyguards, Shar sends stronger warriors to capture her to keep her from spreading the secret behind the incident and use her abilites to attain power over all of Tunnar
