Chapter 6

Reflection, Reconnaissance, and a Quick Lesson

Once he was more than a mile out on the water, Itzel could no longer see Darius as he raced toward the boats. The only hint of his progress was the way the water moved directly under him. To most people, it would look like a wind disturbing the water, but Itzel not only knew what it meant, she could feel his weight just on the surface of the water. After a few moments of watching his movements, Itzel realized that she had her own task to complete, as mundane as it was. Stepping into the water, she held out her arms. With each step, her body became translucent and began to flow with the water. By the time she was fully submerged, it was impossible to tell the difference between Itzel and the water.

A few moments later, she began to appear in the water close to the rock. Her eyes immediately went to the robed figures to make sure they had not noticed her, and smiled as she watched them rushing around without any obvious intention. They really weren’t great at planning. How did these guys end up so powerful?

Without having to worry about being noticed, Itzel allowed herself to materialize and take on her natural form. Adjusting her outfit as she stepped out of the water, Itzel tried to keep her mind occupied as she waited for Darius to finish his work. There were more than 20 minutes left before her spell would wear off. As interested as she was in watching what was happening, she wouldn’t get the full visual since the area around Darius would be completely invisible from this distance.

Shame, since I haven’t seen him in action since he usually works in the shadows. It figures that the one time he is unable to do that, it… is… hmmm. Itzel looked toward the people panicking in the boats not immediately within Darius’s reach. It would be impossible to watch him if she were to go out in the water. Looking over at the Unwashed rushing around nearby and the place where Darius was, Itzel knew that it would make more sense to prepare for what they would need to do instead of watching the assassin.

Shame, she thought as she stood up and walked toward the men. From this distance, her cover would not work. Curiosity got the better of her, and Itzel moved toward the disorganized men. Sticking to the shadow of the forest as much as possible, she began to work out exactly what had happened to stir them up so badly. It was obvious that he had set something on fire, and the trees were now burning.

Their base must be within the mountain to make it more secure than setting the base in the forest. What was he doing setting the fire? Itzel decided to investigate the source of the fire. Darius was incredibly cautious, so he would not have drawn so much attention to one area without a plan.
