Couple of Years

Adam speed-walked down the open hallways of the Crimson Hound's compound and soon arrived by the room that had door wide open with mercenaries walking in and out.

As he stepped inside, he was immediately greeted by a flurry of activity and loud voices.

By the window, a lifeless woman lay on the ground with dead-looking eyes and slowly turned transparent. It looked like she was about to disappear.

"Adam." Digby, after seeing him arrive, walked over to him with a serious look.

"What happened?" Adam asked as he looked at Amelia's dead body.

He wasn't sure how he should react to this.

While he was inside his room, about to fall asleep, he was alerted up by a guard standing over him with a bright lantern.

The guard told him to go here.

He was shocked to hear that Amelia was found dead in her quarters with multiple stab wounds on her back.

He was mildly annoyed.
