”Are they creatures or spirits?” Han Sen wondered, as he examined the eyeless angels with confusion.
Han Sen summoned Thorn Baron to hear her input. ”Thorn, do you have any idea what these are?”
Thorn did not immediately respond, and she went to examine them as if she had never seen them before. This was confirmed when she told Han Sen, ”No, I haven't. They seem to be some sort of creature.”
”Are you sure they're creatures?” Han Sen asked.
”Yes,” Thorn Baron answered, assuredly.
Han Sen frowned, thinking it to be an awful waste. Who would slay so many creatures and not even consume a single morsel?
Since she couldn't help, he returned Thorn Baron and summoned Moment Queen to ask her.
Immediately, she looked upset. She had been in the midst of a hunt herself, and with the yank of a metaphysical chain, she had been brought over like a slave.
When Moment Queen saw the eyeless angels pinned on the vines, though, her irritation vanished. She looked shocked and exclaimed, ”Who has established a sacrificial ritual here?”
”Come again?” Han Sen asked.
Moment Queen looked at Han Sen with grave seriousness, and shouted, ”Who did this? Who did this!?”
”I haven't a clue; I just stumbled upon it.” Han Sen explained the events that led him to the discovery.
When Moment Queen heard what he had to say, she looked upon the bodies of the angels. She walked towards the vine they hung from and looked at the earth below. Then she punched a deep hole through the soil.
Dong!
A loud metal noise emanated from beneath the dirt.
Moment Queen punched the ground again and started to dig, turning up soil that was dark red.
The soil looked coarse and dry, and the further she dug, the deeper the red hue became. It eventually looked as if the earth had been wholly dyed red.
It got even stranger when jewelry started to turn up in the churned soil she was pulling out of the ground. They seemed to show up in a specific order.
”It really is a site of sacrifice.” Moment Queen looked ill.
”Can you please explain to me what's going on?” Han Sen frowned.
