As opposed to the previous killing, this murder was crude, done with violent hacking strokes, her head and one arm each seemingly almost removed from the body with a single powerful stroke.Over by Vanden, the blind man seems cried out for the moment. He runs his tongue across his dried and chapped lips."I know I was never worthy of her," he whispers, his voice hoarse from trying to scream through his gag for so long, "I don't know what Amara saw when she looked at me, but ... anyway, it was payday for the navy sailors, and I was down at the piers, trying to lighten their purses a little bit, at least those who think they're smart enough to win a crooked game. Amara ..."He pauses, as though to begin crying once more, but he gives a shuddering sigh and continues."Amara works at the Sailor's Rest. She was coming to take me home for the night, since she knows I lose track of time when it's a payday. I was busy taking dragons off a clever boy, but I saw her waiting on me in an alley. And then, this man with this big axe thing, he just snatched her up like a ragdoll, a hand around her mouth, and he pulled her back into the alley."The sailor finally cottons to what's happening, and he decides to take the money out of my arse. By the time I got away from him, my sweet Amara and that man, they were getting up onto the roof. I followed them from the ground, running as fast as I could. The door to this place was all nailed up, but I know a bit about climbing and I went up the cliff and followed them in through the trapdoor.

He smacks his lips, his breath stinking of bile."He just cut her apart with that thing ... it's the thing the farmers in South Market have at their stall, to show they're farmers or some such nonsense. He just hacked ... oh, gods. Her head just ... oh, gods! I begged Blurrah to take that sight from my eyes, and she answered me," he says, referring to the Goddess of Comfort in Sadness."Everything was dark and I heard the man coming for me. But it doesn't matter now. Just leave me here with Amara. I don't have nothing worth living for no more ..."His body shudders and convulses with dry tears and he sobs quietly.</blockquote>
