Aurora stood still, her grip firm on the bloody Silverleaf dagger Aisam had given her temporarily.
The dagger, a placeholder until she got an offensive skill, had just been used to end the life of a teenage girl lying before her with bloody clothes and a pierced abdomen.
The girl, with brown eyes and hair, wore a grey dress adorned with rose silhouettes. She looked almost the same age as Aurora but appeared a few years younger. Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, the girl had become the latest victim in this grim incident.
As the girl lay dying on the cold, hard ground, Aurora averted her gaze, maintaining a composed and serene expression. She did not flinch as the girl squirmed in her final moments, Aurora's body settling into stillness.
Two other bodies were strewn a short distance away, near an old wooden house with an active chimney emitting black smoke.
