Ripples and Communication

Re'Kha sensed the blank space around her become denser and denser, rendering her perception of the area useless. It was soon turning sharp, the same as what she witnessed when sensing an Elemental Qi Essence.

To avoid the scouts from sensing her entire body and learning of her condition, she shrouded herself with Metal Qi using the Metal Qi Essence. The only part of her body bereft of it was her feet that were submerged within the water. It allowed the scouts to constantly sense her presence, thereby knowing that she wasn't under the control of the Kalhas.

This was what she desired the most. If they noticed that she was controlled by the Kalhas, their approach would become different. But, if they saw that she was still alive and was in a weakened state, they would act accordingly.
