Nowaru

At the appointed hour, the “Harbingers of Death” convoy passed through the main gate and headed straight to the town square. Tartarus Ghostdrain, clad in his usual black armor and a cloak of the same color, rode at the head of the procession, forcing the assembled onlookers to step aside with just his presence. The other riders followed him in pairs, with the prison carriage in the center of the formation. Finally, upon reaching the square, the prisoner was brought out for all to see. The crowd immediately roared with a wild cry. Ea, the very same Ea who had personally cut down countless Illinar soldiers, stood before them, her hands – those same hands that had killed so many – now visible to these people, friends and relatives of those she had slain, and simply a dangerous enemy of Illinar. When Ea was chained to a post in the center of the square, it could be seen that the headgear she had acquired after her "awakening" had been removed, which caused terrible laughter among the gathered people. She herself said nothing; there was no fear, anger, or any other emotions on her face. And even when ordinary people, far from military affairs, began to throw stones at her (the guards did not intend to stop them), her facial features remained unchanged, except, of course, for the numerous bruises and scrapes that appeared during this. Since Ea was not just a warrior, but a Namhani – one of the leaders of Teios, her sentence would be pronounced directly by members of the inner council, who were expected to arrive within minutes.
