"What's wrong?" Amanda asked, looking around. Everything seemed fine to her. Just a shrine to the gods with a big pile of corpses, nothing unusual here.
She continued plucking the feathers without a second thought. She could keep it up for as long as it took. She might not have been that strong with her magic yet, but she had the stamina to keep working until the job was done. She made sure to sort the feathers by color, so they would be easier to manage later.
She pulled out her belt knife and knelt next to one of the beasts. "Doesn't matter if they're diseased," she said. "I'm not planning on eating the meat. Besides, where do you think the food on your dinner plate comes from? People hunt game to sell in the market. You telling me you've never eaten ramphire before?"
While she continued plucking the feathers with her telekinetic hand, her two flesh and blood hands went to work with her knife, cutting the horns away from the beasts' heads. She knew an alchemist who would trade for the horns for brewing medicines and remedies. She was surprised when no blood flowed from the cuts. That much was strange...
