Within the prison of one of the camps, a malnourished-paladin alongside decaying corpses with chunks torn off their burnt skin. He’d laid, captured by the Inferi – his body marked by decay and feces, fresh wounds plaguing his worn skin. The man’s gaze peers above, verdant eyes searching past the steel bars for hope.
“May their souls consume the dark, speaking hymns of hallowed divinity.”
He’d hoarsely mutter, the lack of water straining his throat as the Terin spoke.
None garnered his call, save for the cries of his fellow prisoners. The cackling and vile laughter of the other grunts, their grotesque features stretched onto a hideous sneer as they’d peer at the pleas of the fallen-man.
His arms felt heavier, chained above in a cruel and languished motion. Diomedes sat crumpled in a heap, his limbs stretched as bruises and blood seeped down faintly – akin to that of dribbling rain as it’d run drown his arm.
”May theirs burn brighter than mine.”
