Hasse knelt next to Amatura and ran his fingers gently across the text on the pillar. A faint glow appeared on his fingertips; it was a unique identification the method demon hunter used to verify that the writing was indeed of Amatura.
The thin-on-top, dark-skinned man, who looked like an African demon hunter, walked past Hasse. Seeing the body of Amatura, he halted, face solemn. "Indeed, Elder Amatura has also died here."
"Teuton," Hasse said as he got to his feet and nodded to the dark-skinned demon hunter. "Take out the letters."
Teuton was stunned. "Here?"
"Yes, here," said Hasse lightly. "Countess Ancestor is a respected elder. She has taken the initiative to show her sincerity, and we should reciprocate."
