Sterling's scream tapers off into shocked silence after a few seconds, leaving him watching the awful, mesmerizing slithering of the snakes around the body. It's sort of horrifically beautiful to witness the hideous flesh-tube being buried in bejeweled, gem-studded death.

It soothes the odd regret a bit. Serves that thing right.

He still has no idea why he can't tear his eyes away.

But the world does not stop turning just because Sterling is staring at the corpse of his briefest and most thrilling rival.

A wave of calm washes unnaturally over Sterling. It has the telltale tingling of a spell, and when he looks up there's a group of dragons.

Oh.

It's that extravagant Wildclaw and the gaudy Plague-magician... arguably the most tolerably well-adorned pair that could have answered his accidental call, at least.

"Right," he clears his throat, even though it is probably far too late to save face if they all heard him shrieking. This damned clan, he's always being caught unawares and looking stupid. "Ahem. Clearly this killer is just determined to be more and more of a problem. I regret not investigating for myself earlier, this is vile."

Sterling's mouth falls open.

"Excuse you," he starts to say, but Tenebriel smoothly talks over him... as though he isn't even standing here.

His mouth snaps shut.

Oh. He sees how it is. He isn't wanted here. He's been passed over like a plateful of Twizzler's stinking flesh, right after getting here.

Why will no one except his stupid condescending sister and that dead worm bother to talk to him?! What has he ever done to any of these nasty little ruin-dwellers?

He turns around with a swish, narrowly missing Holly's ankles with his whipping tail. And he storms off, tracking disgusting blood all the way back to his stupid hole-in-the-ground den.

It's a long trek, and Sterling stews the whole time. By the time the lanterns of the town square are brightening things up, he has a desperate new plan: to languish in his doorway until someone with actual brains and compassion comes to hear his woes without insulting him. Or implying that he's edible.

Pretending to want privacy is sometimes the best way to get dragons to talk to him.

Aren immediately landed and offered his talons to the deity, giving it scratches in it's favorite places and pets where it loved them most. This dear deity had promised not to leave Tenebriel's side, so surely he was nearby, and its solemn demeanor hadn't changed since Belph was lost, so nothing horrible had to have happened. This was a great relief. He had panicked and thought that Tenebriel might be running from the killer once again, that he was in danger and Aren had a chance to protect him. The adrenaline drained out of his system quickly, leaving him sitting on the ground with limbs like jelly. Aren's relief gently worked through his mind and spurred logic into action. Of course Tenebriel wouldn't have been running away from anyone, and Aren surely wouldn't have been able to help if he was. Tenebriel was a powerful dragon, and the only power Aren had was to make life as heavenly for his deities as possible. Hey, at least he had that power. He could use it to help.... Somehow. Even just by being emotionally supportive. The augite protector wiggled out of his arms and began trotting to it's new master, trusting to Aren to follow, as he did. The foggy half-light ruins were strangely creepy now that he didn't have Tenebriel with him... At least he wasn't around any strangers, and he had two of his deities with him. Each ruin of a pillar loomed up far above where he could see, stretching into the sky, perhaps all the way to the Shade. He shifted as the feeling of smallness constricted his being. He didn't have long to think about these spooky ideas, however, because just as soon as he came up behind Tenebriel and Holly did he see.. the... [i]horrifying. Cruel. Disgusting, blasphemy, terror, pain![/i] What kind of shade-filled [i]demon[/i] could have done this...? It.... It was nearly too much for his brain to handle, sending him into a state of quiet shock. He took the remaining few steps to be next to Tenebriel. JinxJou wasn't doing as poorly - she was used to the scent of raw meat and blood due to her hunting prowess - but this wasn't hunting for sustenance. This wasn't an actual of survival, not even playful banter with Hunter and prey. No, this was pure, soulless torture, something that no creature with a soul would even consider. What a waste of meat and of life...

The augite protector wiggled out of his arms and began trotting to it's new master, trusting to Aren to follow, as he did. The foggy half-light ruins were strangely creepy now that he didn't have Tenebriel with him... At least he wasn't around any strangers, and he had two of his deities with him. Each ruin of a pillar loomed up far above where he could see, stretching into the sky, perhaps all the way to the Shade. He shifted as the feeling of smallness constricted his being.

He didn't have long to think about these spooky ideas, however, because just as soon as he came up behind Tenebriel and Holly did he see.. the... horrifying. Cruel. Disgusting, blasphemy, terror, pain! What kind of shade-filled demon could have done this...? It.... It was nearly too much for his brain to handle, sending him into a state of quiet shock. He took the remaining few steps to be next to Tenebriel.

JinxJou wasn't doing as poorly - she was used to the scent of raw meat and blood due to her hunting prowess - but this wasn't hunting for sustenance. This wasn't an actual of survival, not even playful banter with Hunter and prey. No, this was pure, soulless torture, something that no creature with a soul would even consider. What a waste of meat and of life...

Laurent was starting to forget what a good night’s sleep felt like.
Yesterday, he’d stayed up until Weaver knows when pacing the confines of his home, waiting, waiting, praying another corpse wouldn’t greet him in the morning. The fates had granted his wish, but memories of that scorched clearing still haunted him, and now here he was: passing his time in candlelight and fear.
His sketchbook was almost filled already, page after page adorned with drawings of the crime scenes and hastily scrawled notes. He’d recorded everything he could think of. He’d stalked his friends. His room was strung with thread, pictures, and tacks. It looked like the lair of a mad-dragon. He didn’t care.
He. Had to. He had. To. Find. Them.
He couldn’t he couldn’t he couldn’t-
Oh Weaver…
He spent this night begging everything he could think of for help. With every stroke of his pencil, with every picture he pinned to the wall, he pleaded:
Please. No more bodies. No more deaths.
He didn’t know how much more of this he could take. He didn’t know if he’d gotten even an hour’s worth of sleep in the last couple days.
And then he hears screaming. It’s early in the morning, it sounds high-pitched, feminine, and terrified, and all he can think is-
No. Not again.
He drops the tack he’s holding, not caring as it rolls around on the floor. He has to make sure they’re okay. He can’t- maybe there’s still time, maybe he can change things!
In his recklessness he barely notices when his foot catches on the staircase. With a yelp, he finds himself tumbling downstairs. A quick inspection reveals that he’s torn through skin on his descent. No matter. He needs to hurry.
Faster. Faster. Faster.
Into the air. Where did the scream come from? Out of town… the ruins?
And yet, with each second lost, Laurent finds himself no closer to the source. It wasn’t the temple in the distance, wasn’t that particularly intact building past Tequit’s house…
Dieties. He was so tired. All he wanted was sleep. But he couldn’t. He NEEDED to be there. He just had to clear the fog from his brain and find them!
A splash of red catches his eye. A massive building, mostly collapsed, strewn with blood and-
“Tenebriel! Tequit! Aren!”
Please, please, not one of them, not now, he’d been good hadn’t he, he’d done everything right, it couldn’t be their blood down there it couldn’t…
No more bodies. No more deaths.
Please.
And then there’s something hitting him in the face and he tumbles to the ground but the thing won’t let go and his hands are red and it’s still there and for a second he loses sight and panics-
His talons brighten, and for a second ethereal lights surround him, faintly resembling the shapes of armor. The thing entangling him breaks apart into hundreds of tiny fragments that fly away from him too quickly to be followed.

When ThunderDancer saw the pit with twizzlers body and venomous snakes ThunderDancer began to think who would have the ability to dig a pit then fill it with venomous snakes and somehow get a dragon to go into it.
