The true enemy

"Let's get in touch with the elder, I doubt we'll find anything else here." The captain spoke and the assassins walked away, not wanting to disturb the conversation. Despite their quick investigation of the city, there wasn't much hard evidence they could find.

"What did you find?" The elder answered the call almost immediately, looking anxiously at the captain. The latter reported all of his findings and his assumptions, emphasizing the fact that the undead didn't leave much behind to be discovered.

"..." The dark elder closed his eyes and thought in silence for some time, trying to assimilate the information that the captain had given him. Now, he was absolutely sure that the late-awakening corpse was responsible for it all.
