"Well since you're offering your lives. I might as well take them." Zaida said nonchalantly. "Perhaps one of you will suffice for a snack as well."<br/>A wall of shadow rose from the ground surrounding them. It was translucent and glimmered with shades of purple and blue depending on the angle you looked at it.<br/>"Don't worry about the barrier. It's just to make sure you don't try to escape." A smirk crossed her face as she said this and with one hand she pulled her sword from its sheath, the blade shimmered as arcs of purple light danced across it. "I'll save you for last."<br/>Zaida disappeared as she entered into a portal and appeared again behind one of the ambushers, then the sound of her sword whistling through the air was heard. This process was repeated a few times before she reappeared once more behind the leader and whispered into his ear.<br/>"I want you to look at your comrades. Watch as their lives blow out like candles in the wind."
