Ten of Swords
There is a prone skeleton with it’s skull facing towards the viewer. The position of the body is such that it seems to have been in that position before the ten swords were put through the flesh. Since there is no longer any flesh, it is obvious that the corpse has been here a long time. (Don’t worry, I won’t be rushing out to join CSI anytime soon….)
Based on sword placement, I would guess that this was done in a less than random manner. The blades are stuck right through the spine in a number of places and through the temple and the back of the jaw as well. The strength behind the swords must have been incredible. The victim must have been of significance to the killer, because of the viciousness of the coup de grace and the fact that it was left in this manner for so long. It almost seems to me that the perpetrator comes back to this scene, like some sort of shrine. Of course, this could always be the corpse of a vampire, and if those swords are ever removed, he could come back. But I don’t see any fangs……
