In Zaroth's mind, Nightshade's new power was a great boon. It would allow her to become the perfect assassin if the need arose.
He tried to think of a better power for quickly and stealthily killing people, but none came to mind.
A shadow would be able to easily hide, and when the time to attack came—if she was attacking during the night—no one would see her due to her black fur that allowed her to hide in the darkness perfectly.
But now he was realizing that to her powers there was something else… something that would benefit him tremendously.
Nightshade became shadow, and after a second came out, but she was not alone—as in her mouth there was a corpse of a slain man with a crushed throat.
Then she entered her shadow again only to come out with another corpse.
By the end, five corpses lay on the floor before him.
He was able to conclude that one had managed to get away, but that didn't matter, as something much more important had caught his attention.
