As he expected, every one of the people on the walls were dead.
Their heads had been cleanly ripped off their bodies… or rather chomped.
The air smelled metallic, like the forest had exhaled blood into the wind. The stone beneath their feet still held faint streaks of crimson where the bodies had fallen.
"What a horrifying monster," Mira muttered as they stood in front of the large bell situated at the top of the wall.
The bell was thick and meant to ring across the valley in case of emergencies or invasion… a final warning system.
There was a headless corpse with its hands frozen on the rope as if he had tried desperately to pull it before his head was torn away.
"It seemed like this person wanted to ring the bell but got eaten before he could…" Mira added, her voice was much lower now.
"I told you guys Wendy was real," Mynes said with a smile… but the smile was fake.
