Abaddon and his group rendezvoused with an official who, despite his aged appearance, exuded a gentle demeanor. He delivered grave news: a criminal had struck a nearby village, leaving no survivors. As they approached the village, the scene before them mirrored the horrific images they had already seen in photographs, yet the reality was far more harrowing. The pungent odor of blood filled the air, overwhelming most of the team to the point of gagging, though they struggled to maintain their composure.
Abaddon, distancing himself from his team, walked stoically among the scattered corpses. His expression remained indifferent; he had seen the photos of the massacre and was no stranger to such sights. Yet, as he moved through the carnage, he experienced a surge of inexplicable emotions that he could not identify, leaving him disturbed and introspective. Christian muttered, staring at the ground covered with dead bodies and streams of blood that flowed like a river, a sight that was profoundly shocking. "Do you think there are any survivors?" Ivana asked, her voice heavy with sadness.

Surprised, they began searching for the source of the voice among the pile of dead bodies , As they combed through the bodies of the fallen, their search was fruitful and by the haunting sight of a young girl. She appeared to be only eight or nine years old, but her appearance spoke of untold horrors. Her crimson-stained locks were matted with dried blood, and the tattered remnants of her clothes barely clung to her emaciated frame. The disfigured face bore the scars of numerous wounds, the most prominent being a deep gash that ravaged her features and obscured her lifeless blue eyes ;
The mournful plea of the girl chilled the onlookers to their very core. "Please, kind people," she begged, her voice barely more than a whisper, "end my suffering." The profundity of the girl's plight was impossible to ignore, and those who witnessed the spectacle could not help but feel a deep empathy for her plight. The empathetic sentiment was only amplified by the realization that this helpless, child, no more than a mere shadow of her former self, had endured inconceivable cruelty and pain.
