The village was thrown into chaos by the horrific fate of the Village Chief. The shock was palpable, as if the very air had thickened with disbelief. Villagers, halted in their anger and rampage, now seemed lost in their own minds, grappling with what they had witnessed.
A temporary silence fell over everyone—interrupted only by a loud cry from a young fisherman. The piercing scream shattered the stillness, jolting them back to reality. Panic erupted, and they began to run and shout in confusion.
Blood and fragments of the Village Chief's brain were splattered across Castiel's face. He stood speechless, the shock rooting him to the spot.
Only Kit's cry broke through his daze.
"Master..."
Without a word, he gently laid the Village Chief's lifeless body on the ground. His heart pounded as he vanished from the sight of his friends, driven by a singular purpose.
