When I got there, I realized why they were gathered. The body was barely recognizable. There was a head mounted on a sp ike and the body was covered with blood and slashes that looked like they were made by claws. One of the guards next to me had to rush into a bush to throw

“Your majesty,” a guard spoke snapping me out of my thoughts and I turned to him. “The carriage is ready for you.”

I shook my head. “Go on without me.”
