One down, two to go.

[jamesb 218]

The sun rises steadily, illuminating the city of Sutica and the dense forest that surrounds it. The sweet, crisp singing of the birds resonates throughout the countryside, and a chilly morning breeze drifts through the land. As the sun’s orange hue dispells the darkness of the night, something sinister is revealed. Something that was not there the day before, now is.

 

A pike is mounted at the end of Sutica’s bridge. The pike’s sharp tip has been lodged into the head of a woman. The head is that of an elderly lady, with a wrinkled visage and long, grey hair. Her face is horribly mutilated; her eyes are purple and swollen shut. Her cheek has been torn open, and her entire countenance is wrought with dark, crimson blood. It is apparent that, before being beheaded, this old woman was terribly beat.

 

 

For those who would recognize her: the head belongs to Nora, wife of Bernard.

 

The gruesome scene has one more oddity. Carved into the forehead of the butchered woman, with sharp, jagged handwriting, is a message:

 

“One down, two to go.”

It’s unclear who committed this unspeakable deed, or why, but one thing is certain: there’s worse to come.

Alice sighs softly, massaging her temple with a groan. "And I was hoping for a calm and happy day."

Katalia's meandering came to a steady halt, her chin held high as her gaze clocked the mutilated head that had been pushed onto a spike. "Mmm." Her frame stiffened, scanning her view with disgust emerging on her features over the woman's head. "I pity the other two, this is a disgrace." Her tone emerged from it's usual collected self, to a hardened, bitter tongue. "I hope my children do not have to witness this."

Alex makes his way to the bridge that led to Sutica, only to halt at the gruesome pike causing his lips to tug into a deep frown. "Who could do this?" he murmurs, remembering seeing the woman in the tavern before quickly moving along.

Leyu would wander past, blinking up at the head as she widened her eyes before releasing a hefty sigh.

"Help one and another goes down. I honestly wonder why I bother." She would state before moving off.
