The Monster That Horrified Monsters [8]

[ZULA]

"You shouldn't be here," Zaffuto warned as he stared at the defiant woman. He never expected her here and it was driving him crazy. Women were supposed to be kind souls and they were supposed to be the better part of the bond.

They were nurturers by default and yet this woman was here on the battlefield not even batting an eye at the suggestion of joining him in the murders. If he didn't know her any better, he would have assumed that she was used to war.

But was that what she truly lived for? Was that what their lives were bound to be like? A life that didn't know the difference between hell and heaven? A lifetime of chaos without reprieve? 

Was that what they had all agreed to or was it just an illusion and the mad king would snap out of it soon?
