fistsofjustice: (is it dead?)
Ever since she was old enough to feed herself, Amelia only went after humans who deserved it. They are pitiful creatures, her father said, and that is why you must always be righteous. Killing innocent humans was frowned upon like humans frowned upon kicking small, helpless animals; there was no justice in that.

Hunters were a favored target, as were priests who spoke ill of the Fog God. She wouldn’t usually interfere in human-on-human conflict, unless the crime was especially heinous - sometimes one had to put down a rabid sheep.

Such was her recent prey. A Bavan native, notorious for taking any job, no matter how gruesome. Amelia swooped down on him and carried him all the way back to her nest beyond Lager Woods, on the cliffs by the north-western shore. She put him on a rock ledge where no human could reach without special equipment, plucked his eyes out and left him there to starve, though she gave him water once a day. Amelia always made sure they regretted their crimes before taking their lives.

It’s been a week now, and he wasn’t screaming as much. If he doesn’t throw himself on the rocks soon (like some did. Others would beg her for release) she’ll have to do it herself.

If Amelia was expecting the shade to be helpful she's going to be let down. Stocke's just about as clueless as she is, though he's moved his pendant to floating in between his shadow-black ribs.

"Eat them?" he suggests, eyes flickering like a broken bulb. It's not as though the Fog God expects that much more out of them most of the time, with regards to humans.

But even he's sure enough that's not right. She wouldn't give them additional warning for something that simple. The shade raises his claws again, eyes slit.
