36 What? (2/2)

”You two sure are adorable...”

-

Great Mage Mirlie having severely underestimated the oncoming enemies found herself in an undesirable predicament...

She now found herself almost completely naked. All her belongings having been stripped off and long taken.

The last thing she could recall was her throwing a series of fireballs towards the oncoming riders before something hit her on the back of the head, something blunt, something hard.

Before she knew it, lights out.

Looking around she could see the carriage tossed onto its side, damaged beyond repair. The body of the carriage driver spread across several feet beside her. The body having been devoured now rested in several pieces, the blood painting the ground around both Great Mage Mirlie and the corpse.

Further regaining her senses, she realized she couldn't spot Percy. Only a few scarce signs of a struggle indicating Percy's fate.

'At least he made it out alive...'

The new cold breeze disturbing her as she stood up. In her attempt to see some good in the bad, she commented to herself, 'At least I got a few of them.” the bodies of several black-robed figures lay strewn across the now quiet battlefield.

As Great Mage Mirlie approached one of the more intact corpses, she pulled back the hood which had been covering the face of the assailant.

Only to freeze as she saw what lied beneath it.
