55 Threes A Crowd (2/2)
Her hair dragged along the floor as she moved forward, she stops in front of a corpse of a goblin. Bending down she presses her finger into the open wound of the goblin and the sticky red blood coats her finger, she pressed the finger into her mouth.
”They've died rather recently, I'd say it been about five or so day since they've died,” she mutters after licking all the blood off her finger.
”It's not just that one it looks like there was a huge battle here,” he pointed ahead towards the giant corpse of the troll laying a bit further up ahead.
”Phew,” she whistles as she looks ahead,” that's a big boy, even bigger than you, huh?” Mia chuckles as she elbows Zeal a little bit.
He gives her a rather dry look and shakes his head as he walks over the corpse and surveys the rest of the area. There wasn't much blood at all for the number of corpses, there was a lack of blood as if someone had sucked it all up.
Had it been a vampire that had done this? Rubbing the back of his neck he steps past Mia and walks around, trying to piece together what happened. Bending down he begins to inspect the corpse.
Some had slash wounds, other had been cleaning cut apart and more had piercing wounds that you'd see done by a lance. This was indeed a bit strange, he'd only smelled two people up ahead and a monster, but there was no trace of a monster kill on any of these corpses.
They all look like they'd been killed by something humanoid, or at least something with a human level intellect. Rubbing the back of his neck again he stands from the corpse and looks over at Mia, who's been surprisingly quiet.
His eyes land on a man, this man had a hand around Mia's throat and was smiling down at her. ”Landon, just what are you doing here?” Zeal asked a hint of anger in his voice.
The man that had a vase like grip on Mia's throat was beautiful, heavenly defying beauty. His striking blonde hair and bright blue eyes made people think of him and angels in the same train of thought.
”Did you find anything interesting yet?” His voice was soothing and soft to the ear.
”Let go of Mia,” Zeal breathed out his hands clenching into a fist.
”Is that anyway for a Priest to talk to a Bishop?” Landon tsk out as he lets go of Mia's throat, she staggers forward drawing in short breaths of air as she runs back over to Zeal.
”But I'm a forgiving Bishop that's guided by our Goddess light,” he laughed out and gave a sweeping bow and raised his head up towards the ceiling a look of rapture on his face.
He was indeed a devout fanatic of the Knight of the Goddess, to the point of insanity.
”We've just arrived, we haven't found anything,” Zeal muttered and he brushed a hand down Mia's head her body was trembling.
”Very well, I believe the person that we're looking for is a female, I've reversed time here. I've gotten a bit of a hazy image of her, I'll send it to you both. So leave and head to the towns and see if you can find anything or the person that matches this image,” he says quickly.
Throwing a piece of paper through the air, Zeal raises a hand and catches it between his finger. A hazy looking image of a woman could be seen, her hair was white as snow and she had two horns coming out of her head, other than that her face was basically blurry and hard to make out.
”Very well, we'll take our leave,” he pocketed the image and gave a slight bow before he drew away from the man that was still smiling kindly at them.
