Aurelie, scanning the street, waited for a moment longer and then crossed it to catch Miraze up. Miraze had left the corpse and begun to move away into the crowd.

One thing was for sure, Aurelie hated seeing corpses. Not that it was squeamishness, exactly. It was awareness.

Too many people found it too easy to kill. Killing was easy. Rage or battlelust, even a cold-blooded decision could justify the act. Too many walked away without looking closely at the result. Not in their heads, anyway. Easier to avoid thinking about something than comprehend it. Or to dismiss it as unimportant, which was the same...

Before, she looked like sheโ€™d been a pretty girl. The horrible, slack stillness would be replaced by coldness and then would go stiff. The inanimate carrion would decay. Eventually only bones would remain. A waste.

Who had she been? Why had she been killed? The stink of magic was all around, sure enough. Why had a mage felt it necessary to kill her? Was it a random death, or was it of importance?

The girlโ€™s face was sagging into itโ€™s death mask, but the terrible smile still remained. Mind magic, then.

Aurelie looked over towards Miraze, then made a quick gesture towards the end of the street. A couple of figures could just be seen walking up. They backed away down a nearby side alley and watched as the mages began to talk. One of them vaporised the corpse, and then, moments later, they began to walk away.

โ€œSo. Do we follow them?โ€ Aurelie murmured to Miraze quietly. She held out a hand to Miraze, not to offer assistance but so that Miraze could drain her power easily if she chose it.
