Blood rained, clouds lay dim; crows carried withered entrails in their beaks.
The restriction that had shrouded Heavenly Horse Plateau for tens of thousands of years was forcibly opened, and one savage figure after another descended from the sky.
Silent gazes piled into a coffin. The corpse, dead yet still fierce with killing intent, lay sleeping within those complicated eyes.
