He watched the flies surround her after the fires die. He watched the clouds form and then melt away leaving her laughing on the ground.

This was not acceptable.

His dark robe swirling around him, the watcher detatched himself from the shadows and followed the distorted air that signified the concealed person rapidly departing towards the woods.

There were some who turned to look at him as he passed but he waved their curiousity away, making them focus on anything other than his dark form, leaving them with no knowledge of his passing.

This was the way to avoid notice. Not by some illusion that could be easily detected by any worth hiding from. The woman was obviously an amateur. Why the dark lord had chosen her for this post he would never understand.

For amateur, however, she was doing remarkably well. On all but this count. He strode purposefully into the woods before halting and calling out to her, his voice quiet but direct. "I know you're there. Please reveal yourself. I don't wish to threaten but it will be far less painful if you do so quickly."
