2 Defiler of Tombs
“There was a smell of ash and burned bone in the air. A line of people carried gear stripped from the attacking army back into the hills to be buried. They handled the wrapped weapons and armour gingerly as if they feared contamination. They did not want any reminders of the force that had attacked anywhere near the village. Kormak did not blame them for that. Who knew what taint was in it?
A few of the locals watched Kormak and Brandon suspiciously, as if they thought the strangers’ presence had brought the attack on them. Most of the local people seemed grateful for their aid in the battle the previous evening.
Agnetha watched from the verandah of the long hall. Men lounged around with weapons close at hand. Clearly people were nervous and the routine of their normal life was disturbed. Some of the men had returned to the hills to tend their sheep and strips of land but not many.
