Chapter 26

Aria didn’t have such hesitation. With a run she smashed her fist into the man’s face. With nothing more than the hardwood behind him, I could hear the crack of bones breaking. Blood coated her hands, as the man let out a weak scream. His nose had been crushed and his jaw had broken

And that sweet child had left. Another fist, then another as the man’s face quickly stopped resembling a face. Arms were raised to protect his face, but her fist just smashed his hands apart instead. Blood ran down onto the snow in trickles and seeped into her sleeves. I lowered my bow in shock as I watch her brutally murder this man in cold blood, her eyes not displaying a single hint of doubt. Finally, she picked up his head with both of her hands, then smashed it against the tree. The crack of broken bone ran across the battlefield, alongside the soft dripping of blood. The drowning man beside her had gone quiet.
