I could always ask Luka to get the soul for me. Then I could make two children with Anderson's remains.
Two children or one young adult it wouldn't make up for all had Anderson had done but it would bring a bit of purity to this town. I yawned. I closed my eyes as I focused searching for the dark aura that had first drawn me to this town. I gasped as I found that it had grown twice in size. I opened my eyes and gripped Luka for comfort. Soon I fell asleep.
When I woke up it was morning and Luka was standing a few feet away from me holding two large, black, plastic grocery bag. "Mistress I brought you some clothing." He told me handing me the bags. I yawned. "Thank you Luka." I said taking the bags. Luka looked over at Anderson. "What do you want to do with him mistress?" He asked. I sighed as I began to get dressed. "Well I was thinking of making two children out of his body but I don't have leftover souls. So the only thing I can do with it is leave it to rot." I told him.
Luka stared at the body for a moment then nodded. "I understand." He said. "The black aura that's in this town has grown twice in size since I last saw it.
Apparently it's in the worst part of this city, the Slums." I told Luka. "So it may be attached to that child. The one that the priest told us about?" Luka asked. I nodded. "Yes and whatever is wrong he needs to be cleaned." I told Luka as I finished getting dressed.
Luka handed me my eye patch as I put it on he opened the church's front door. As we exited the church I noticed that something interesting, the place where the candidates for the Goddess Festival were taken and executed was surrounded by a crowd of people.
"Let's see what all the fuss is about Luka." I told him grabbing his hand as we blended into the crowd of on lookers. As we approached the front of the crowd the smell of blood grew thick and strong almost pungent. I looked at the wall behind the execution stand and there I saw four bodies.
The bodies were wearing uniforms that symbolized that they were this city's police officers. They were pinned to the wall with a knife through their gaping mouths. Their faces were twisted in pure terror and horror their mouths filled with slowly drying blood. The next thing I notice was the eyes of the corpses, or rather the fact that they didn't have any.
The eyes of all the corpses were missing. Either cut out or stabbed so much in the eye that it now had the consistency of soup or a raw egg. The final thing I noticed was a message scrawled in blood underneath the bodies that read GODDESS'S WHIP.
I heard people in the crowd begin to mutter and whisper uneasily to one another. I gripped Luka's hand tightly. "Let's go Luka we need to head to the Slums. The quicker we get rid of that aura the better." I told him softly.
As we were walking away from the carnage Luka frowned. "Mistress, do you really think a child did that?" He asked. I nodded then sighed as we soon entered the Slums. "Humans are capable of anything and when an aura like that has tainted them then no matter who they are, they really will do anything." I whispered.
