[ Old world- Greater Woods ( Skarthheim base camp) ]
" We… We tried… but she tricked us… She just took off…We couldn't even…The Hound helped her! Please, we are telling the truth! "
SWISH!
SLASH!
A whip cracked right in front of the two guards kneeling and trembling…
They had their heads bowed low…foreheads nearly brushing the dirt, as though sheer proximity to the earth could save them.
" Of course she would trick you… She is the princess… she has more brain cells than you… But it was your job to track her… stop her from disappearing! What the fuck were the two of doing with these fat ass bodies of yours? "
Another crack and the two shifted as they shuddered.
Their hearts pounded against their ribs, erratic and unsteady.
But it wasn't their hearts that shook the ground.
Thump.
The earth quivered beneath them.
Thump.
The sound echoed in their bones.
Thump.
