Chapter 69- Cold day and crisp night III
There is no darkness
but ignorance.
~Williams Shakespeare

He noticed how thick her skin was as he launched the sword somewhere around her body but not that deep enough to kill her. From the strain of her vocal cords unleashing the full fury of her pain and terror, he knew it was somewhat sufficient to leave her severely wounded.
The moving veins in her skin, prominently drawn a parallel between the ones slithering like snakes on her hands. He could swear those were scales at her forearm, and her breast wholly coated in them, concealing the nipples.
