Karliah couldn't process exactly what had happened.
All she knew was that at one point in time she had her body cleanly bitten off and was now experiencing an inability to properly regenerate.
When she was inevitably pulled down by gravity, her detached head dropped into the water soundlessly.
Surprisingly, she could see down here.
She was stranded in dark, murky waters that were teaming with a very specific kind of creature.
Sea monsters.
Karliah didn't know where in the hell they had come from, only that there were so many of them that they literally filled up her vision.
With just her head remaining, Karliah sunk deeper and deeper into the water until she landed in the outstretched hands of Ayaana herself.
The Nyasir of battle smirked up at the woman who she saw as partially her daughter and gave her best nod of approval.
