Chapter 49: By the Frozen Lake

In Ezealyra, everything is in pandemonium. A large crowd has gathered around the river outside the town square. The river connects the country to Meosea and two bodies have washed up on land.

One of the bodies was of a woman who was naked and frozen due to the frosty water. The other body was of a tall, large man whose body was covered with the shield of a Ezealyran knight but his lower half was stripped off. But that was not the most shocking part.

Never in their lives had the people seen something so bizarre and gross. The man’s genitals have been stabbed multiple times and then ripped apart with brute strength. Nothing is left down there except for frozen blood and a large, gaping hole which is sickening to look at. Many men in the crowd are shifting uncomfortably upon the sight.
