Lyra walked along main street towards the little bridge that connected it to the execution square, barely paying attention to the crowds around her going about their business. She was too busy reliving the last moments of her friends in her head.<br/><br/>Krystal had never seen it coming. The top of her body had just disappeared in a flash as something big and wet had launched itself over the boat. Her severed legs had just stood there, spurting blood as the Eel landed on the boat and shattering it into splinters.<br/><br/>Lina disappeared into the water, staining it an inky scarlet as the Eel ripped her to shreds underneath.<br/><br/>Gwendolyn went last, the monster lifting her out of the water, its massive razor teeth crushing her pelvis and tearing out her guts as it swallowed her feet-first. She screamed like a frog being eaten by a snake as she slid down into its stomach.<br/><br/>It had all been so fast, so horrible, her squad reduced to fishfood in a matter of seconds.<br/><br/><br/>Lyra walked along past the Genkysou bridge and into the execution square, where the daily executions were already underway. On the stage, some young delinquents were being fed to something with far too much hair, and even more teeth and tentacles, a writhing and slathering mess of mayhem. "Oh Gods, pleaeese - I take it all back - The Village Chieftain was right - She was..."<br/>"Nooooooooooooooooo!!!"<br/>"Don't let it Eat me!"<br/>They cried and pleaded for their lives, but It swallowed girl after girl whole until it was little more than an enlarged stomach with legs attached. Outlines of the girls pushed against the creature's tummy, very much still alive as they were digested.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>The square Lyra was in led out towards boiling girl alley, and out to the general store. South was the prisoner holding cells and the short wall to the Monster pens.
