"I can't believe " one necromancer began, then shook her head and fell silent, fingers twining restlessly through a gray strand of hair.
Another necromancer grunted in agreement. "I keep waiting to be told to leave. How did you ever get them to listen, High Necromancer?"
"I gave the High Paladin very little choice in the matter," Koray said. "After a handful of soldiers beat me, he gave the entire castle very little choice in the matter." A smile briefly curved his mouth, but then slipped away. "If you have any troubles, let me know immediately, but I think you will have none. I'll be in the keep should you need me. Just send a page to fetch me."
They all bowed, startling him, and chorused, "Yes, High Necromancer."
"Ugh," Koray said, rolling his eyes and leaving to the sound of his necromancers laughing.
