A loud, cold voice cut through the moment.
"Your feet stopped."
Aurora's smile died instantly.
She whipped her head around.
Krolious the octopus man stood behind them. His tentacles writhed with agitation as he glared down at them. The bone dagger sticking out of his chest was still dripping with blood, but he didn't seem to care.
His eyes narrowed.
And then
With a disgusted grunt, he reached up with one of his tentacles… gripped the dagger… and yanked it out of his own chest.
Blood splattered across the ground.
In the same swift motion
He whipped the dagger toward Aurora and Levy.
Fast.
Too fast.
FLLLUCHHH!!!
The sound of metal slicing through flesh echoed sharp and wet in the air.
Aurora felt warm droplets spray across her face.
Her entire body went cold.
She blinked, confused and then she saw it.
Levy's body jerked violently.
A bone dagger still slick with Krolious's blood was stabbed straight through his throat.
