Lexi called back to Dante "How much did HQ tell you about this quest?"

Dante followed along just close enough to hear Lexi and Meyla talk as they walked along. He thought it was curious that the stories would seemingly repeat themselves until the end of time. This place seemed far too wholesome and happy but some of what they were discussing did soon like a form of necromancy. He knew that Nefarian Serpine had mastered the art of never dying when he had created the White Cleaver well that was until the Sceptor of the Ancients and the Skeleton Detective got involved.

Lexi turned and started walking backwards so she could face their new addition. "Hey! Snap out of it. I'm talking to you" she clicked her fingers at him to bring him back to the world they were in.

"Huh? Sorry Lexi, I was remembering hapier times"
He hadn't been there when Serpine had been turned to a pile of ash by an ancient mystical weapon but he had been told the story and often thought about it himself. To have seen the man who had tried to bring the Faceless Ones back to enslave humanity die like that would have been thrilling. Dante wished that Serpine had died slowly and painfully for what he nearly brought upon the Earth.

"Good for you." Lexi was starting to feel impatient "Now answer the question. How much did HQ tell you about this quest?"

"Err not a lot really; they said something about stories not running how they are supposed to and they told me the stories but that's about it. I don't know why they would send a necromancer especially a young one like myself along unless they need my death magic" Dante explained
He didn't like being spoken to in the way that Lexi had but she seemed to be in charge of this quest so he wasn't going to grumble too much.

"Well, they prepared you better than her" Lexi indicated Meyla and turned around to walk forwards again without missing a step. 'Did he just say he was a Necromancer?' the Voice in her head questioned 'I knew there was something off about his blade' Lexi thought 'That's likely the source of his magic' 'Good to know. I don't like the idea of death magic hanging around. Feels far too much like another assassination attempt.' The Voice in her head seemed to give the impression it would be nodding if it could. 'So, do you know where you're going?' "That way" Lexi said, pointing off the path and into the woods.

Dante looked at Meyla for a moment; she certainly didn't look like any of the women he knew but then again one of them was now a statue in York Minster's gardens so he shouldn't be too surprised by how people look. As he followed Lexi and Meyla he couldn't help but feel there was something rather unusual about Lexi. Necromancers could sense recent death and the living dead but why he'd feel like she was vaguely undead was very weird.

Lexi led the way through the trees, almost pricking her ears to listen for anything unusual. All she could make out was an abundance of birds.

Dante looked up at the tree branches overhead as they walked along.
"Is it me or is that an awful lot of bird noise for very few birds?"
