In the end, Aleria was no match and was quickly subdued, tied up with rope cutting into her helpless body tightly, arms tied behind her back, gagged but not blindfolded so she could see when her former familiar, stabbed with the first acolyte's shortsword unable to fly away was brought before her and the mercyless zealots snapped the bird's neck in a single motion.<br/><br/>"The same might be in store for you, vile creature. But that will be the judgment of our lord and master. I can not  begin to imagine why he wants you heathen lot alive, but do not expect the same treatment as the lady huntress received. You are a heretic and witch, and your actions cost lives, human lives." the man said and backhanded Aleria across the face before throwing the dead bird on the campfire where it would burn to nothing but bones.<br/>The witch knew there was no escape now. She couldn't run away from these men and couldn't project her senses onto her familiar now either.<br/><br/>A short while later, Samedi and her remaining minion arrived back at camp with the two unconscious girls who were secured in restraints likewise.<br/><br/>"Look at them, wearing our robes in mockery of all that we revere." one of the acolytes said in disgust.<br/>"They will soon face justice for their crimes." the second said, bowing his head towards Samedi "You have won a victory for our master today, Lady Huntress. These wretched heretics didn't make it easy, but they will pay for the lives we lost."
