Venari corpses were sprawled all across the floor, most of them half charred-flesh and half bone —Lucius's handiwork.

Others had chunks of flesh missing from their necks, and claw marks all over their bodies. But the most unfortunate of them were those with the charred eyes, no doubt Pagan's doing. Who knew what reason he had for taking their eyesight before killing them?
