Slaughtering cultists was not slaking her thirst for blood. If anything, their weak attempts to attack or hold the three of them off were pathetic. Never before had Killashandra felt anything like the purity of focus and the raw power of such rage and hatred. As the enchantress led them on the illusion-hidden trails from one cultist lair to the other, it was more difficult to restrain her temper than it was to kill the array of demons and creatures that got in her way.
Three days of scorching hot desert sands, ambushes, random attacks, and hunting. Three days of killing and avenging the fallen villagers and tortured coven prisoners. Three days of silently enduring Kormac's besotted eyes locked on Eirena's shy smiles and cute gestures. Three days...and no amount of blood or death was sating the hunter's burning hatred. So by the time they finally found Maghda--all hell was ready to break loose within the hunter.
Killa left it up to the templar and the enchantress to deal with the coven members aiding the witch. She took Maghda on alone. A lethal game of cat and mouse ensued as the hunter and witch chased one another about the structures of the witch's chosen lair. Only when they were out of sight and immediate sound of the other two did the hunter unleash the dark rage and hatred that had been festering and poisoning her heart for the past three days.
Maghda never understood what hit her in the end. But Killa kept her word to Leah and all those that the coven had harmed. She made the witch pay...and it was far from an easy death. By the time that Kormac and Eirena finished the remaining coven members off and found her, little was left of the witch but the shattered remains of a bloody skeleton and the shredded wings that had granted her flight.
Nothing was said about the unusually gruesome and brutal sight. Patching up their injuries and collecting their things, the three journeyed back to Caldeum and the rest of their party. Killa claimed only a single trophy by taking the shredded wings with her. Kormac balked at that but finally chose to ignore it given he was not a hunter and did not understand. She was not about to educate him on that either...nor reveal the true reason she chose to claim a trophy when she never had from any of her previous kills.
Upon their return to the city, Killa wasted very little time in leading them through it to the camp the caravan had made upon learning the city itself was closed to everyone. At the camp, while Kormac shyly and clumsily showed Eirena around, the hunter made a line straight for Haedrig. The smith was one of those that elected to follow and the caravan had even given him a wagon to help move his forge since they were able to use his skills as well.
He was the one she gave the torn wings to as well as a few books she had obtained. Once Kormac had seen those tomes were not of his Order, he had no problem letting the women do what they wanted with them. A couple she did not show to either him or the enchantress because she recognized just what type of weapons they gave instructions to making. Neither of her companions would understand her desire for them.
With Haedrig almost immediately getting lost in the books to learn something new, the hunter picked up the arrows he made to replace those which were completely irretrievable and refilled her quivers. A glance deeper into the wagon he carried his things in revealed a glimmer of pale gold that looked oddly curvaceous for a male. She was far from curious about it though and left after finishing her task.
That was when she sought out Tyrael. One of many things that Maghda had said before she was finally put to death had alarmed the hunter. And since her return to the camp, she had seen everyone except Leah. Given that the witch had used information to distract them--but had actually not fed them full lies, Killa did not doubt her attempts at bravado were genuine...

Author's Note:
I started writing on the next chapter only to have some key points of the quests interfere with my flow. I threw this one out just so they would get out of the way and so I had a reference for the plot to better base next chapter off of. Since there was a mixup and I unknowingly drank a lot of *diet* soda the other day (I cannot handle aspartame) thinking it was regular, I was pretty sick. That with severe storms passing through I kept getting interrupted on the "Lyndon chapter". It will be up soon after this though so check back in a few hours if you're anticipating it.
