The Start of Necromancy

3 Years Later…

“Let’s see… 5 werewolves there, 2 hawks, 1 panda, and 10 snakes…. Hmm… let me try over there…”

Earlier in Jacob’s days of apprenticeship

“Jacob, to revive the dead, the dead have to be dead first… do you understand? It means that you have to kill to make a living. I want you to start killing the animals of this forest. As you grow stronger, I hope that you’ll make yourself a challenge and kill animals that are more powerful than you. After you kill them, leave them alone for 7 days. Then, you will start reviving. First off, I’ll teach you how to revive. You get this potion and that, then you dab a bit of this into that…”

As Ezekiel taught Jacob the reviving spell, animals out there were going into hiding, for… they can always sense danger when it’s near.

Back to present

And so, Jacob has made a living of a necromancer’s apprentice for 3 years, which is the last year of apprenticeship for him.
