In the Silverclaw pack, inside the palace, Malrik was in his room when a man knocked on the door. "Yes, what is it?" Malrik called out. The man opened the door and bowed his head.
Malrik says, "'Why do you disturb my rest, Orien?'"
"Your Highness, you need to see this," Orien replied, his face filled with concern. Malrik, now worried, stood up and went downstairs to the parlor, Orien following closely behind.
Downstairs, three soldiers stood with their heads bowed. Malrik looked at them and asked, "What happened?" He noticed one soldier carrying a bag that was dripping blood. "Hey you, what is that? It's dripping blood. Let me see what's inside."
The soldier stepped forward and opened the bag in front of Malrik. Malrik's eyes widened in horror as he covered his nose. Turning to Orien, he asked, "How did this happen? How did he find out? This is awful! I need to summon my elders immediately." He instructed Orien to come with him.
