Sadists
A few weeks ago...
A group of four men took the first steps to enter a location, which seemed abandoned by humankind, in a small town on the southwest coast of the Kingdom of the Waves.
The few streets there were all disgusting, with garbage piled up in some places, and a stinky stream could be seen passing under some minor crossings.
If one followed the path of this muddy stream, one would notice that it proceeded until it reached a beach near that location, where it discharged its dirty water, polluting the sea.
Instead of an attractive seascape with golden sand and greenish, crystalline water, if you were here, you would witness a dirty beach with brown stains all over the sand and black water.
And coming back to the city, there weren't many buildings around.
There was just enough for a few dozen criminals to settle in, plus enough space for a few hundred captives.
