Nyella hurried down the tower angrily. She crossed the courtyard and went straight toward the place where she had seen Sira.
"You must have the guts to come here and show your face," she shouted.
Before Aeron could reach her, Nyella was already upon them. She kicked the girl hard, then grabbed her by the hair and slapped her again and again. As she felt it wasn't enough, she began punching her violently.
"Nyella!" Aeron called out. "Stop this! What are you doing?" He tried to move closer repeating his words, but Nyella's anger overwhelmed her.
Sira clung to the girl. "Please, your Highness! She has done nothing wrong!" She wept as she pleaded, but Nyella would not stop.
Blood now covered the girl's face, dripping from her nose and lips as Nyella continued to strike her.
