Kavos strolled along the road, his steps graceful and supremely confident, as if he were untouchable. The handsome young half-elf continued for a long time as the sun rose, as the first pinkish rays of light sprung from the horizon. He watched as it brightened further, reflecting off the morning dew, causing the fields around him to sparkle with an almost magical glow. A scene completely lost as his mind wandered aimlessly, almost to pass his destination.
He had been sitting in the Corps de Grace Headquarters, reading, as the calls began. An anonymous tipster had alerted the men of a grizzly scene in an outlying farmhouse. Naturally the ambitious man had made for the cottage, and arrived fashionably late.
As he neared the cottage, two young men rushed out, both making short dashes before relieving their bodies of a hastened breakfast. Two more missing the beauty of a fine sunrise. Watching the men, he stopped short of the door to straighten himself before entering. The smell was thick as he crossed the threshold, the stink of blood, of the dead. A man and a woman seated around a set table, naked and mutilated. The plates were garnished with bits of their flesh, with goblets of their own blood before them.
Blood had found its way all over the room, as if they were swung about as they bled. Toyed with, then ripped apart, and partially devoured. Like they were killed by some vicious predator, some nameless creature that stalks the nightmares of children. Their bodies were posed with expressions of pure horror, staked to the chairs with simple knives, probably from their own kitchen..
Stepping in further, one of the more seasoned men waved him to an adjacent room, a small bedroom, probably to house the children the young couple undoubtedly had planned to raise. Dreams torn apart like the bodies that once fostered them. Inside was only more blood, the clothes of the woman sat shredded in the corner. The stench filled the young half-elf's head, intoxicating him with its foul smell. He let out a profound sigh, and catching his thoughts, uttered a simple curse at the carnage that was this house.
The voice rang out loud in the silence of the cottage, making the simple words sound like a bellowing shout, turning the two men in the small room. "Sir, what could do this..?" The young man looked around, his pale face covered in a fresh glean of sweat. "Son.. I ain't even going to venture a guess, but there must'a been more then one.." The older man looked around before he closed his eyes, trying to will the images away, images of the dismembered couple, and images of the complete mutilation of two innocent lives. Kavos wandered the scene for evidence, staying longer then most of the men dared, only to return to the headquarters with more questions then answers, and news of yet another missing person, for an already beleaguered Directuer Tery Mard....
