Dolan tugged Brenna's body onto the shore of the pond amidst cheers from the rest of the village. Eoghan drove a spear through her chest to ensure her death, and Ciaran felt rage spark in his veins. Brenna had used her magic to save them, had likely betrayed a friend and maybe her entire people to do so, and -
And they were celebrating.
Eoghan announced the successful purging, and cheers broke the air. Music started, and Eoghan tugged a woman - Brenna's accuser - into his arms for a dance.
It seemed Dolan and Ciaran mourned Brenna's death alone.
