Baoht Zuqqa Roh growled, idly pulling the metal shaft out of his side and washing his dark blood from it in the water. "I am not in a mood to be patient with my captured prey, child of Man." Nonetheless, he remained, glaring. His sand drakes idled in the pool near the corpse of the one that had died. For a time, they simply stared at it, nudged it, waiting for it to move. Then the hungriest among them took a bite, and the rest joined in.
In the dirt near the water, K'aijeen lay on her back with her arms crossed over her. The black metal shaft had pierced through both forearms before embedding in her head, and her crossed limbs were pressed hard over her face, obscuring the view of her eyes or any wound. No fluid flowed from the injures. The holes that had been driven through her arms were dry and ragged.
