Shadouuzua settled down as the ship lifted once again into the sky, after picking up the werewolf, Rahzar, who was next to her when she was first given orders. This gave her plenty of time to reflect on the battle at the spire as the air fell silent. A few moments ago a rumble shook the desert; now everything was quiet. But something was still bothering the witch; the dragon who attacked the first ship firing at the spire... it looked a little too familiar to her. Why else would she try to kill it as it was fleeing the scene of battle? Granted, any dragon who survived that may try to warn the others that an attack was coming, but still... it got to her. How did she recognize it as a mirror from so far away? There had to be an answer.
Luckily, after a few seconds, Shadouuzua sat up, grinning. She knew what to do. Without a word, she held up her wand, the tip glowing dark purple. On cue, a white bogsneak-esque marionette floated in front of her, ready to listen to her command. "What do you desssire, missstresss...?" the marionette hissed.
"It's good to see you. Othi," said Shadouuzua, the marionette grinning in response. "Listen up. This is very important. I want you to gather the others and find the mirror I hit earlier. After all, it may have found other survivors..."
"Your wisssh is my command, missstresss..." Othi replied, knowing who Shadouuzua was talking about. He flew into the sector next to Shadouuzua's sector and held one hand up. Immediately, the marionettes lying in the room came to life, some looking like Othi (except they were wooden), others looking like little dragons; some were painted, others were not. Othi whispered his mistress's command to them and they all nodded in succession. Most of them flew out of the door into Shadouuzua's sector, facing their mistress with determination to succeed. The witch then snuck over to where Bowser was sitting before picking up Rahzar and retrieved the com. She then held it up to her face, a grin forming on her face.
"Pilot, this is Shadouuzua," she started. "I want you the lower the bottom entrance door. My friends have something to do out there..." she added mischievously.
A few seconds after the command, the lower door began to open, and the marionettes became excited. Shadouuzua turned to Othi, who was more than ready to abide by his mistress's wishes. "One more thing," she added to him. "When you find the mirror, don't attack. I want you to report back with information. If you don't find who you're looking for, you must come back to the ship. Don't get lost, now!"
Othi nodded. He turned to his squadron. "Did you lot hear what ssshe sssaid?" he questioned. The marionettes nodded. "Alright then! Letsss head out now..." With that, the group of puppets flew out the entrance and into the night. The darkness had no effect on their vision as they scoured the desert for their target. After a while, Othi heard a yell from one of the marionettes, who was pointing as an object in the distance. The white marionette looked ahead, seeing this object in the distance. It looked like a cave... and it wasn't too far from the destroyed spire... so maybe...
Othi signaled his troop to follow him towards the cave, hoping that their target would be there.
Wait, what do we do if he sees us? Do we flee? What if he tries to attack us? Do we attack back? Othi wondered.
No... my mistress gave her orders... don't attack... just report back with information... Othi became worried for his and his minions' lives.
And what if there's more than one there...?
