For most of the week that Dr Vincent had been away, the four carnage
beasts had been recuperating from their injuries, in quarters strongly
protected by magic wards to ensure that they could not escape. Their
wounds had been considerable, but they were able to heal remarkably
fast, so that after five days they were almost as good as new.
For much of the time they had slept. When awake, they had eaten a lot of raw meat (they would have preferred live prey, but Vincent had not wanted them to get over-excited whilst he was away). From time to time they had copulated, either male with either female, as the fancy took them. Towards the end of the week, without the voice of a master or a mistress booming in their minds, goading them on and drowning out any attempt at thought, unsettling fragmentary memories of a time when things had been different began to return to Death and Despair, though their intelligence was still not that much greater than a dog's.
