Wheeling Gull Isle the woes of the fool

It was true. Tzila had a dark side. No matter how much she tried to change or succeeded in doing so, some of that blackness in her would likely remain. And, she wasn't afraid to unleash it when the circumstances were appropriate. She had warned Astaroth of this other side of her and now he glimpsed it. Hua on the other hand, she had spoken of no such thing to. 

Yet just as she was in complete control of her savagery, she was as much so in her actions. Her dark ears only pivoted to the cry of Astaroth's voice. Her motions were not frantic. They were controlled. Mirroring the look within her cold eyes. Hua's reaction didn't surprise her. When she stepped in to grab Strand and lift her away, Tzila relinquished her hold without any fuss. Stepping back, she faced her two friends with a pointed look. "Relax." She edged out firmly, eyes darting between the pair. "I knew what I was doing. The moment I shoved her head under, I began timing." Coolly composed, she sat down, glancing to Strand's unconscious body. "My intention was to get her to black out, not kill her. And now that it is done, we can deal with her with less of a hassle." Scanning the distance, she considered the options. "We'll need to find a secure location. With that fight of hers, she'll be raging to get free as soon as she's awake."
