What was happening…?
"Is this… blood…?"
Sharp stinging was crawling all over my muscles. My head felt heavy, dragging down my eyesight with its weight, preventing me from seeing things with clarity.
But I noticed that the environment was different. Wind brushed my upper body without my Soulthread Aegis garb, and the texture of soil clinging to my bare feet.
I was no longer on a bed beside Verina, and I was sitting on top of a foreign body in a foreign apparel.
"What the hell…"
Blood was scattered all over like a sick work of a beast. And then there was the body that I sat atop, a body of a faceless woman with long red hair and a pair of foxy ears.
She was wearing a black gothic lolita dress, the kind of dress with intricate lace and ribbonworks, and it wasn't the kind of cheap dress as well, as I started to see a lot of symbols and mystic texture etched to the fabric.
