This was not a delicate kill. There was no art to what he had done. It was hasty and it was brutal -- and there was nothing else this woman deserved in his mind.
Finally the brute released her, her body falling lifeless in the sands beneath them. He stood and started to brush the sand off of his hands and arms, all the while looking down at her. It was a pity that he had been forced to do such a thing. Had her life not been so unfortunate, it was possible she could have been a devout follower of the gods. Abraham could not comprehend an abandoned having any devotion at all, and gave no regard to the possibility. The gods rejected them, and they needed to be void from Caido just as the Ascended.
Gwyneverre dropped down in the sand next to him. She looked up at her bondmate with fiery eyes. He nodded, and the dragon set to her work. Her mouth opened and flames ravaged the body of the woman. After her scorching was complete, they were ready to dispose of her. Grabbing the woman by her legs, Abraham drug her body into the ocean, leaving her to float out to meet her dead lover.
