==================
Flesh tore like wet parchment.
The sound was nauseating— fibers ripping, muscle splitting, bone cracking under the pressure of the strike. Blood gushed in thick, blackened streams, an unnatural color, darker than it should have been, spilling onto the surface of the water like ink dispersing into an endless void.
Memika's body jerked.
Her breath hitched, caught in her throat, eyes widening in sharp, stunned pain.
Her fur cloak absorbed the blood greedily, the dark ichor staining its pristine white into something sickly and wrong.
"G-Goddess!"
Cheska screamed to alert Memika but the goddess remained choking on her own blood.
Weirdly Raiga and Tasha didn't seem to hear the other and remained completely still.
Cheska panicked as she tried to move. Wanted to stop it.
But she couldn't.
