He kept on staring at the mangled corpse at the side of the place.
The body lay slumped beside the cave entrance, partially hidden by roots and thick moss.
Zaina's gaze quickly fell on the dead body that sprawled on the side.
Her eyes widened in horror as she saw its skin peeled in places as though it had been melted rather than torn.
Akamir slowly walked towards the corpse and Zaina a few steps behind. "H-how did this happen?"
Akamir didn't respond as he crouched beside the body.
'It's old. Maybe half a year or more.'
He thought, observing the body closely as his hand gently moved its head.
There were a few markings here and there but it wasn't deadly.
'Did he have a fight with someone before he died?'
Akamir wondered, rubbing his chin.
Zaina quickly pointed at his hand. "There is something there."
Akamir looked down at the piece of paper the body was holding tightly.
He took the paper and unfolded it and the words that were written made his expression harden.
