First Encounter 3

The Shaman's body had no pulse.

But for some reason, Ava felt that he was still alive. He wasn't completely dead… yet.

"I don't understand," Drigo frowned. "You are telling me that he is dead but not dead at the same time?"

"He is a powerful Shaman. He would never leave a physical body once he died," Ava said. Or at least, she hoped so.

She had read about this from the Shaman's Grimoire. At one point, the Shaman had been studying death and necromancy and realized that there are actually ways to destroy one's body after death.

The Shaman didn't want to leave his body behind after his death.

Or at least that's what Ava thought.

And since the Shaman's body was still around, she could only hope that there is a way to revive him.

"I have heard of that in the past but I never thought… it could happen." Baba chimed in, her face grim and it looked like her eyes were a little puffy— something that Ava never expected from the woman.
