The Confrontation (2)

Although Orion believed that he had already accepted and fully integrated into this world, embracing its reality, he couldn't deny that there were still many aspects he wasn't entirely accustomed to. 

And one of those aspects, in particular, was the sight of a dead corpse.

Until this point, the closest thing to a corpse that Orion had encountered were the petrified villagers within the Village Chief's compound and the pit filled with the lifeless remains of infants transformed into stone by the Vylkr vines. While these experiences were still relatively mild compared to the gruesome scene before him, they had been enough to trouble his senses.

Thus, when Orion laid eyes upon the numerous mangled and severed corpses of hundreds of Prismerians, both men and women, a deep frown etched itself across his face. An overwhelming feeling of disgust welled up within him.
