Head and tail

"What on the earth is this?" The lord asked.

Then Oswald shown the body he was dragging, exhibiting it like a chalice, he held the part he bit off to let everyone in the tent stare at the strange thing.

The lord's eyes sparkled with interest, indeed he seemed very curious about the abnormality, he was so intrigued he carelessly approached the thing to observe it from head to toes.

"Are you the one who defeated it?

"Yes, my lord." Oswald said, lowering the body a little, he let the man understand the difference in size had mattered a lot during their fight by flexing his other arm's muscles.

"Is it the beast that roamed in the east and killed your brothers? That's ridiculously short." The lord added, he grabbed the split hand and compared the size with his.

"Report, my lord!" Someone barged in and interrupted the discussion. "We've found madam de Vera's corpse, next to the witch's, we visited her tent and found the remains of black magic."
