CALL TO THE MOUNTAINS
[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: NUNKKOT ~ BTS V]
Nix stood in front of Almaria's grave, his eyes watching as the guards dug up the body parts that were buried round the tomb. He had asked Kitanna to stay back because of her morning sickness; he didn't want her to see what would irritate her even more.
"Who could have done this?" Hieron asked rhetorically, as he wasn't looking for anyone to answer.
Nix observed the pattern in which the parts were buried; it was as if the culprit was gathering important parts to fix up Almaria.
This used to be a legend to bring back to life people who had gone to the underworld. It was initiated by a group of women who had peculiar beliefs, but after a long time, such a ritual was abolished because of unnecessary bloodshed. Seeing that someone actually did it only meant that it was not properly eradicated in Morado.
