Bab 89: A game of cat and mouse

With her tattoos now shifted to the third part of her triptych, Dahlia's domain transformed from one of nature to one of the dark. Allies and enemies alike were dragged into her darkness and a deep seated fear and dread washed over them. Feeling those emotions herself, Dahlia gave a wry grin as she greeted the familiar sensation of her chest clenching from anxiety.

While the darkness and negative emotions that came with it were certainly potent, that wasn't the reason she shifted to 'lost and alone'.

Now, while the domain dampened all senses of everyone inside, she was able to counteract that to some degree with her own sensory affecting dark magic. This wasn't what she was taking advantage of though.
