I need to consolidate the area I control and secure its borders, she said, though she didn't actually expand on what that meant. It was a topic she didn't want truly getting out until she had put her plan into motion. Her work was never done.
As their victim approached, Arla had a very familiar feeling of being the hunter and waiting for her prey to be lured into a trap. The trap had been laid and now all she needed was for her hunting partner to do her part of the job. Like a rat in a trap.
As Celeste knocked him unconscious, Arla once again kept watch, making sure no one was looking as she grabbed him with the Shadow and quickly moved him down into the water. It was somewhere between a gentle lowering and a toss into the river, but she never released her grip on him. She held him there, counting by in her head as the seconds ticked on.
She held his body there until she was certain there was no chance he could be alive, lungs filled with water, and she felt that familiar sensation of dark current as the Fanged Spirit's power passed by them. Then, and only then, did she release her grip and let the lazy current carry his body downriver.
