REPUTATION AT STAKE
One of the members of the Council opened the file in front of him. He fixed his glasses while running his fingers on the first page of the file. He then started listing every point of events that happened over the last three months that had blown away their periods of sleep in the nights.
"Around three months ago, we first found a dead body of a woodcutter in the woods around the Vincardine. It was torn at places, brutally mutilated. The body was drained out of blood, not a single drop of blood was left in it. We have noted the details and the physicians have already submitted the reports of their findings.
But there is not much that we can understand. This was a strange event as we haven't witnessed anything like this before.
We then found a second body of an old woman who lived on the outskirts of Vincardine. Her dead body was also not in a better condition than the previous one. Then we found two more and now the fifth one."
