Mask of the Red Witch

Crimson Forest

Benu placed his hand over the corpse. There was no visible life force coming out from him, but Midel and Lucien could feel something enveloping him and being transferred to the skeleton sitting on the ground. 

"What are you doing?" Midel could no longer contain his curiosity and asked. Neither Lucien nor him could measure his strength. And they would only know something about his powers if he would be the one to tell them instead. 

"Oh, this? It's called 'calling the soul' from our tribe. I just have to call upon his soul which already went to the afterlife. Since his death is still recent, his soul should not have been reincarnated yet. Well, I hope so." Shrugging his shoulders, he continued humming by himself and looking up at the sky while calling upon the soul. 

Midel looked behind him. "Can't mages do that?"

Lucien just shook his head. "We can only call souls if it was trapped inside a shell."
