Mysterious Man

Bringing her eyes to what was pointed out, Khalida confirmed it herself as the soft light revealed the one who sat atop the mountain of bones: an unclothed man with a body covered in scars, as if a thousand blades had clashed with his own flesh. 

"No…That man, I know him," Khalida admitted in absent shock, slowly shaking her head. 

"You do?" 

"Not closely, but I've met him on a few occasions…He was present in expeditions, though he rarely spoke to anybody outside of his own group," Khalida explained, "That's Aegenwulf–the leader of the Eviscerators." 

The title given to the one who appeared as a stranger to Alcides immediately felt "wrong." It wasn't as though he believed Khalida to be a liar or even wrong, however, that man being right before them seemed impossible. 

"The leader of the Eviscerators? The Archbishop himself told us they all died down here," Alcides responded, staying cautious, "Is it possible we were deceived?"
