Asking For A Talisman

"What's going on?" Klaus asked after they left the woods. 

There was no way this person would chase them for no reason, especially given the distance they moved. Also, his statement to Grey when they were leaving meant that there was something between them. 

Grey sighed wryly, he knew he wouldn't be able to hide it any longer, "I'm marked."

"Marked?" Alice asked with a curious expression. 

"Yes, a necromancer used his life force to place a mark on me. Now I'm being hunted down by all necromancers." Grey shook his head wryly. 

"All necromancers?" Klaus asked. 

"Yes. They can sense the mark in my body if they're close to me. Initially, when I was marked there was an expert with me, and she managed to reduce the effect to only a one kilometer radius, but after encountering those creatures back home, they seemed to have increased the distance." Grey explained, a wry smile on his face.
