He didn’t bother looking for survivors; the scattered bodies of men, women, and children assured him there were none. Instead, he went from body to body to see if any had usable parts. That way their deaths might not be in vain.


The first few bodies were ruined by sword and sun. But eventually he found one under some rubble; dead from a single stab wound to the neck.
