Snippet #1307348

Evin could see how much pain that Crystal was going through. Although he wanted to gather some information about the killer from the crime scene, he just couldn't while she was sitting there. Evin understood what she was feeling too. He had thought for years that his best friend was killed due to Evin's reckless thinking. Evin did think that what Crystal was going through at the moment was a little worse though. The he thought about what Theron had said to him. "In the beginning there was five great ones. But in the end remains now only two of them. In the first one to fall you shall find your friend, unharmed yet changed.". Evin didn't know much about the history of Valcrest, but he did remember something about how there was originally five cities. He also knew that once the war started, that the city that remained neutral, was the first to go. He didn't know the name of the city, but he did know where the city ruins were. He would have gone right now, but there were other, more pressing issues at the moment. The most pressing of them was not even to find any evidence of the murder, it was to comfort Crystal who just witnessed her dead father.
He looked at the body for a moment, noting the brutal way in which it lay. It was a good thing Crystal couldn't see him in this state. It was rather gruesome. Then he noticed something on Sebastian's hand. It looked like something was burnt onto his hand. It wasn't a regular burn though. It appeared that the burn was a chemical one and it appeared that it had taken a familiar shape. It was writing! Evin looked closer at it to see what was written on it.
"Myths of Medicine, page 1284." He read aloud so that Crystal could hear. Although, she probably didn't even hear him.
He decided it would be best to go over to her to finally comfort her. She was still shaking and didn't even react when Evin put his arms around her in comfort. They stayed there in silence for a while, reflecting on what was in front of them.
