FLESH AND BONE // MURDER

[Fairylights]

―――― How unfortuante, it seemed, for one so young to be the next to witness the scene. Of course, by all accounts, Fairy was not so young; she was, perhaps, nearly what many would call a young woman or an adult, but by all accounts still, she was stlil young. A child who had been allowed to remain a child, rather than being thrust into a dark, dark world where these situations were more than normal. But Fairylights, despite her small voice and her softness, had not been sheletered from everything. Her own parents had been murdered; she had been allowed to hear them scream as they died. She had watched them fall. She wasn't sure what had drawn her to the border. It was a strange smell, a strange sound, unlike anything that she could pinpoint for herself. At first, from afar, she had thought it to be no more than a few people struggling with some weird, potential spill from the cleanup. But as she drew closer, and the smell of blood, admist the mud and the smell of the Ascendants, became far more clear.

Then, she cleared the crest of the small hill that hid the sight from her vision, and her eyes went wide. Her breath caught in her throat in a strangled gasp as her gaze locked onto the sight of mangled bodies, covered in so much blood bone fragments, and heavens above she didn't even want to know. But the Ascendants? No, it didn't seem right! None of this was right! She felt the blood rush away from her body, suddenly light headed and pale as her paws forced herself a few steps back before she could even process, a scream tearing from her throat that she could not stop, pure terror in its note as her mind reacted to what it could not yet logically think through. Murder. This was murder.

Fairylights could only hope this was not how her parents had ended up too.
