Amelia couldn't help but hug Alex. Goosebumps appeared on her skin. "Does anyone really do this in this world? How do you pray for the protection of the gods to make a drum out of human skin?" Shouldn't such a cruel method be punished by the gods?
Ery chuckled. "They said no. They took my sister away, but they told the people kneeling that there was no such thing. They said it was a rumor that bad people were spreading and deliberately smearing them."
Those people brought the drum made of their sister's skin and walked around, enjoying the worship of countless people. In the end, they returned to the original spot where they had made the drum.
Relying on her small and agile body, Ery crawled through the cracks in the wall and the bushes. She found her sister's hair and eyes where the people were.
