In the middle of the hunting grounds, a huge cage was erected. Within the cage, a group of humans hung from the chains which were clasped around their necks while numerous small and vicious demonic beasts attacked their corpses, adding more wounds to their scar riddled bodies.
The entire ground was stained with a thick pungent and rotten smell of the flesh and blood.
At the King's orders, a few demons dragged the chains and the corpses were pulled high up within the cage.
