Artie walked into the room, careful not to step on any of the bodies. "Knight commander, do you recognize any of these bodies?"
David walked deeper into the room, squatting down to observe them. After a few seconds, he stood up, a sombre expression on his face.
"These are workers that have been reported missing over the past two months." He said in a lowered tone.
"Tell me." He turned to Artie. "You said we needed to investigate this so suddenly. You knew about this didn't you?"
Artie shook her head, strolling deeper into the room. "Eliron had a hunch something was here, but we did not know what to expect."
David ran a hand over his face, letting out a shaky breath. "I am the chief knight, yet an outsider is the one who discovered this. I am ashamed of myself."
"Don't be." Artie slowly shook her head. "Eliron is a different breed. Comparing yourself to him will only lead you down a dark part."
