A horrible sight

The next morning the trek started with the first rays of sunlight. The drumming sounded and there was a stiff silence if it hadn't been disturbed by some returning night hunters.

But after half an hour they stopped and realized that the dead had to be buried first.

Since it was felt better for the children, they did not yet drive in.

During the meeting, Dan went through the house systematically, by his way. The central point was, a so-called middle room in which everything took place during the day. Of course, this had to be examined first.

Dan is as already mentioned 8 years, emaciated from the exertions of the journey, a thin white linen shirt and blue trousers dresses him. He has straight, light blond hair, star-blue eyes and sun-tanned skin.

As a precaution, he's got a knife in his hand that he traded from Tom with irresistible child - looking eyes. A custom-made path knife.
