Stray From The Flock

[Lark 2227]

 

Rain pours outside the city of Petrus as three figures move through the rain, boots stomping on damp stone and soaked mud as they stop before the city bridge. Lightning strikes in the distance, casting a light on the three, two elves and a human gather around an unlit beacon. The pair of Elves carrying ropes and the human carrying a blood soaked bag. The human chuckles to himself as he pulls out the contents of the bag. A mutilated man slides out, his forehead shredded with a roughly cauterized slash wound and another gash straight across his mouth. if one were to take a better look, they would notice blood veins bursting in a star shaped pattern, his face marked with a bloody red star. Aside from this it appears his left thumb was broken off at the bone, the joint splintered and bloody. The trio gets to work, tieing the man to the beacon in the dead of night, rain pouring down upon them but not hindering their deed. After binding the near dead man to the stone beacon, they would depart. 

 

The star upon the man's face would seem to grow an eerie red, even from afar. All those that beheld it would remark upon the man's heinous injuries, wondering who or what could have done such a thing.
