Capítulo 67: scared

Lucian stood amidst the aftermath, his breaths shallow and ragged, the weight of what had just happened pressing heavily on his chest. His hands, stained with blood, trembled slightly as he took in the scene the lifeless bodie in front him, the silence broken only by his own heartbeat thundering in his ears.
