"How could such a thing happen, and to my dear uncle Eomer?" Sally said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "These villians must be caught and....and....and pecked to death! Emily, stay close so that when we find the nasties you can pluck out their eyes! My uncle will be avenged!"
Sally walked over to Legate, who had been speechless since hearing of his father's death. "My dear Legate, don't worry, for we shall have justice on these killers. Nice, painful, brutal, swift justice, full of vengeance and blood and....erm...." Legate smiled slightly at Sally's overeagerness, and he placed a hand around her waist as she continued.
"My love, your father's death will not have been in vain, for he will help us catch the werewolves. You'll see, everything will be all right. Your father will be proud of this village, and especially of you." Sally embraced Legate tightly, then slowly walked off to comfort her aunt Cailin and her cousins.
