Ch. 144: Rumination [3]

As the sun began its descent, casting a warm golden glow across the land, the remnants of a once-thriving city lay in ruins. 

Destroyed houses stood as solemn reminders of the tragedy that had unfolded. 

Amidst the wreckage, a Chimera feasted upon the carcasses of fallen citizens, its monstrous form illuminated by the dying light.

With a swift and brutal motion, the Chimera tore away a hand from a lifeless body, the sickening crack echoing through the desolate streets. 

Blood splattered onto the ground as the arm separated from its former owner. 

The gruff sound of the creature chewing flesh and the crunch of shattering bones reverberated through the surrounding area.

In the distance, the rhythmic sound of hooves on the cobblestone interrupted the eerie silence. 

A Knight, clad in black full plate armor, rode upon a black armored horse.
