The fires that now engulfed the bodies seemed to illuminate the blood that flowed like a river over the steps and down towards the entrance. Skylar stood with an all too familiar grin as she looked over the remains of the sacred temple. The priests and priestess had made an attempt at a decent fight to protect the girl.. But not good enough. Some were left hanging, some dismembered.. Each body dealt with accordingly. Standing over the only body left in tact, and somewhat alive, as he lie cowering in a fetal position clutching the holy book with all of his might. Kneeling down Skylar grabbed his head forcing his eyes to meet her own cold, emotionless eyes.
"Your a monster." He whispered with quivering lips and tears flowing from his eyes.
Skylar extended her hand to the only being left standing. The little girl took her hand and let Skylar lead her forward, acting obediently.
"Look into his eyes... And know that you will never be this... Disgusting, a coward.. Weak."
The girl looked on and shook her head in understanding.
"You will learn that this is never acceptable, and weakness will not be tolerated." Skylar continued to speak as she took out a small dagger from her boot.
"I will not give this up!" The cowering priest whispered again.
"Then I will pry it from your hands." Skylar smirked again and began to drag the blade across his fingers, cutting deep into them. He quickly drew his hands to his chest dropping the book. Binding the mans hands over his head, she tossed the rest of the rope over one of the beams and pulled the rope until the man was hanging at her eye level. Smiling as she picked up the dagger again, she cut the mans rope exposing his chest and stomach. Slowly carving a message for anyone to see. Once she was satisfied with her work, she took the blood stained and dripping book into her hand.
"I will teach you the ways of both Vandan'myr and Mage. You will walk with us, As a god, amongst the weak filth of this world. Do you understand Denna?"
"Yes, but what does that mean?" She spoke quietly as Skylar lifted her onto the black steed.
Following Denna's gaze to the man hanging as she slowly read the words. " You have crossed us.. For the last time." Her head tilting as if trying to process the words herself.
"Your mommy and daddy have not been very... Nice." Skylar climbed up behind Denna onto her horse. "Now they will understand."
She tugged the reigns with a smirk.
