Answers From A Dead Man

The corpse of the former Ideal Ark leader became engulfed in greenish-black flames.

A slightly pale skin tone was over the corpse but one would barely assume that it was in fact, a corpse if shown the body out of context.

Of course, the context itself was all but clear.

The bodies of powerful combatants were usually exempt from the usual speed of decomposition especially when they had begun on the path to Advancement and beyond.

The body had been covered with a black sheet as the armour that Eobald had worn had been taken by Skullius along with his sword.

The sword wound at his chest was still visible, giving a brief reminiscent tone towards earlier events in the Tremur Forest.

As the flames engulfed the body, it began to twitch and rise, standing on its two feet as the dark sheet over its body fell off, leaving it naked.
