A Mirror Murder

Oh who is (s)he? A misty memory...?

 

Near a part of the stone road lies a small creek... and it seems to be smelling worse than ever today. But this is not because of normal bog water. This is the smell of human flesh. A human stripped of his life, laying on the dark stained and slightly muddy earth. The face of the body is frozen in fear, as if they knew their fate would end up as such. The shirt of the man was ripped open, likely by a slash. Their body was full of slashes and gashes, bits of blood still oozing out, but the most grotesque sight was a clean stab through the man's heart and a heart shape traced into the skin around the stab with, one would assume, the same weapon.  It is unknown exactly HOW long they have been here...but telling from the smell, it could have been quite some time. 

 

But the gruesome sight isn't the only discovery made... by the side of the corpse lay a small handmirror, shattered, with glass shards still laying on the broken husk of the mirror. It doesn't seem like the mirror was owned by the now dead being. It doesn't really seem logical that the person murdered would happen to be looking at themselves in a mirror... so why a mirror? And why...what did this person see before dying...

 

...that made them look so petrified?

Elizabeth Hatshepsut huffs at the body, twirling her stave, "Interesting... Who... Or what would slay a man like this..." She says, before turning and walking away
