	After [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] publicly assassinated Edward, his guards fled to raise the alarm rather than fight, prompting Makira to leave her cabin. Quickly assessing the situation, she alleged the earl had imprisoned her and invited Eivor over on the pretense of wanting to better see her liberator, all while hiding a [[Short blade\|dagger]] behind her back. Eivor remained unmoved by Makira's plea, however, giving [[Roshan]] the chance to drop from a tree and kill her.
