Zera's purposeful cruelty returns, the fear-like emotion slipping away in but a second after Thisias gives her the command.

"I will do more than expose their attacks," she hisses with a renewed glint in her eye.

She steps out from behind the wall, spinning away from a few arrows as they land with thunks in the wooden wall.

"Mmm...there you are," she purrs, watching a shimmer in the air that she can only see. "I know your game."

Her smile broadens as illusion blows off two Aku straight ahead of Kith. They are just about ready to notch another arrow in their long bows.

"Ah," she moves her eyes down the line of origin where the illusioned arrows seem to come from.

The air melts around the firing Aku, snakes and flowers becoming pointed arrows and bare air becoming the enemy's tender bodies. Her hands come forward suddenly as she flips her gaze straight ahead. Like a domino, her powers rush down the tip of a spear that is being held back by her own strength...then reality washes over its wielder.

"Bad," she shakes her head at him and then with a yell, the spear is tossed end over end to shove the bladed tip in the man's stomach.

She kicks him off and spins around, bringing the spear back to aim it at Jihon. With an experienced throw, the weapon whizzes past him and lands in the neck of a seemingly normal female citizen, but that illusion quickly fades.

"Watch the citizens! Some are enemy!" she yells to the others, disappointment at them not noticing themselves in her voice.

Her hand goes out and a flock of birds flying in a cloud towards the party becomes a troop of armed Aku.

"Nice, you are good at this," she remarks to someone, then her leg flicks out to kick the air.

A thud is heard and a wisp of fine sand falls unnaturally fast to the ground near her. The Aku scrambles to get up, but she is already on top of her with one of the woman's own daggers raised.

"Pity."

With that, the dagger comes down and across the woman's throat, then lands with a sickening stab into her chest. Zera looks up and watches for more attacks, "unmasking" as many as she can for the others...
