Re'Kha patted her armour pocket, feeling the Water Qi Essence in it. While she was waiting, she had recovered her Water Qi to the limit. After that, she deactivated the Water Qi Essence, seeing as there was no purpose in maintaining it any longer.
As she was still in a dangerous territory, she didn't place it within her storage ring, intending to use it the moment the situation necessitated. She gazed at the fragments of the vial on the ground, watching it continue to crumble until it turned into powder, 'That hand in the end, just whose was it? It's definitely not master's.'
She felt confused, feeling that a lot of things had happened in the back that she was perfectly ignorant about. All she knew was that she was the centre of those arrangements, whether she liked it or not.
For a moment, she trembled in fear, knowing that the will of her master or something along those lines existed in her, able to consciously speak in times of necessity. He had done that a couple of times in the past. Though, the most obvious one was when she was talking to Mu'Tua about her eyes.
'Is he living through me?' As time passed, the amount of respect and sense of worship she had to her master continued to wane as numerous questions continued to crop up. Moreover, she also felt fear, fear at the unknown, and fear at her master that wielded said unknown familiarly.
Re'Kha slowly got up and dusted herself, watching the Burfuna City Lord land on the ground, followed by around 10 Harmonisers. All of them were from the Burfuna Royal Clan, having used their Pranic Avatars as mounts to travel.
Upon seeing the surroundings, the City Lord looked at Re'Kha with a wary gaze, suspicious if she had been possessed, "What happened here?"
"The Blinded Ghost has been killed. The Elder should know the entire sequence of events." Re'Kha replied promptly, followed by a short bow. There was a good chance they wouldn't believe her, she directed the explanation to the head Elder. His words held credibility.
If it was before, they would have believed her words automatically. But, thanks to the research made by Mu'Tua, they discovered that a Sha could in fact possess a person, bypassing the natural defences erected by the Tikka jewellery.
So, they weren't sure whether she was possessed or not. And, only an Elder could verify it by using their third eye. So, the City Lord motioned at the Harmoniser behind him, "The five of you stay here and search for clues."
He then looked at Re'Kha, "Come with me, let's return to Burfuna City."
"Thank you," Re'Kha made a formal bow once again as she looked around, watching the City Lord motion for her to sit behind him. It seemed as if he wasn't afraid that she would stab him in the back if she were a Sha.
Re'Kha did as told, taking her seat as the City Lord's Yali took flight, increasing its altitude rather quickly as Re'Kha gazed downward, noticing the extent of damage their battle had caused. The path was filled with craters whereas some of the trees alongside it had fallen.
Whenever the Blinded Ghost sent the Yali or the Pakou flying, they crashed into the trees, felling a lot of them each time. So, the destruction to nature was pretty severe. Thankfully, they had been using Water Qi all the time, which already existed in nature in the place.
So, the excess Water Qi they had unleashed would eventually assimilate into the Water Qi streams flowing through the forest area. If they had used the other three elements, the damage would have been even more severe, and the area wouldn't be able to recover naturally in a short time.
Soon, they reached Burfuna City. Re'Kha watched with surprise that most of the attacking birds had retreated. The only ones remaining were those that had injured their wings and were no longer able to fly.
They were just easy targets for the soldiers. As for the beasts, all the active ones had been killed while the rest fled.
The Yali landed on the terrace of a building, situated a couple of streets away from the water tank where an intense battle had taken place before between the three Sha and the city's Harmonisers.
The moment they landed, Re'Kha noticed the figure of the head Elder flash into appearance. Without saying anything, he first glared at her using his third eye. The moment she looked at his third eye, her head spun as Re'Kha automatically prostrated on the ground.
It seemed to be an instinctive behaviour of hers that was generated by the Kalki Qi generating through his third eye.
After he finished his observation, the head Elder smiled, "Congratulations on reclaiming your eye from the Blinded Ghost."
"Everything is thanks to you, Elder. I will be eternally grateful for your help." Re'Kha bowed respectfully after getting up from her prostrated posture.
"Alright, continue as you see fit. I still need to solve a couple of things." Saying his piece, the head Elder nodded at the City Lord once before vanishing from the place, jumping from one building to another.
The City Lord looked at Re'Kha, "I'll be holding a banquet tomorrow to celebrate our victory. Do attend it."
"It would be my honour, City Lord," Re'Kha replied, watching the Coty Lord leave. He approached a team of Harmonisers and seemed to be relaying some instructions to them, also taking a detailed look into a piece of stone that had been kicked up during the fight. On it was a piece of marking that even he hadn't seen before. After all, the markings they engraved in their building material was different from it.
Re'Kha then shifted her gaze to the water tank, noticing that the entire place was in shambles, fully covered with blood. She was no longer able to spot any traces of the three Sha.
After looking around, Re'Kha began to return, intending to meet up with Ki'Nua first.
As long as she followed those from the Burfuna Royal Clan, she was bound to run into Ki'Nua. Even otherwise, Re'Kha planned to visit her house now.
