Chapter 32 - The Undertaker

Ryan, Lawhey and Shoto where on their way to clare a quest, some zombies have been terrorizing a village. Ryan accepted the quest because, he hoped he will meet a necromancer and learn a thing or two.

When they got there they refused to let them in the village. It was fenced with high erected logs and some men stood guard. An elder came out to meet them.

"What is going on here?", an old man asked standing in front of the gate.

"We are from Brim, we are here to solve your zombie problem.", Lawhey said

"It's fine but he will have to stay here", the old man said pointing at Ryan.

They are look in the direction the man was pointing to. They asked the man to explain.

"We called you because some zombies are trying to get in, we don't let the dead into our village. When someone dies in our village we burn them the same day, we've never had a corpse more than a day in the village.", the old man explained.

After the mans explanation, Ryan agreed Lawhey and Shoto go without him. Ryan stood there wondering where the zombies came from. He saw foot prints in the sand, leading away from the village.

Later Shoto and Lawhey came out, they told Ryan what the they discussed as they followed the foot steps. Is disappear as they went ahead but the continued anyway, until they got to a cemetery. A young boy was cleaning the place.

"Have you seen a necromancer come by with a hoard.", Lawhey asked.

Ryan looked around, he saw that some of the graves were opened.

"You let a necromancers zombie rest here. Tell us, where is he." Ryan asked the boy who was picking up dead flowers in front gravestones.

"I'm sorry I haven't seen any necromancer", the boy answered in a soft tone.

"These graves have been disturbed, I know this are the zombies. Tell us the truth you are not in trouble. We just want to ask the necromancer some questions.", Ryan said trying to convince the boy.

The boy didn't give in, then Shoto grabbed the boy by the shirt.

" Give me a minute with him I'll make him talk ", Shoto said to Ryan as he dragged the boy away.

" I'm telling you the truth I've not seen any necromancer, I'm not keeping anyones zombies.", the boy said begging.

Ryan and Lawhey looked at Shoto in disapproval, there was a small room were tools were kept. Shoto opened the door and some tools fell down.

" I'm the necromancer", the boy screamed with tears in his eyes.

Shoto looked at Ryan and Lawhey as they watched him.

"He is lying, he is not the necromancer, he is just saying that because he is scared. Let me get the truth out of him.", Shoto said pulling the boy into the room.

"I think he is telling the truth", Ryan walk over and pick up a book from the ground.

"Necro 4 Dummies ", he read the title out loud.

" Why would you raise zombies just to terrorize a village?

Lawhey asked looking at the boy.

The boy got away from Shoto and bit his thumb and whispered something. The zombies started to get out of their graves.

He pointed Shoto then about six went that direction. The pointed at Ryan and Lawhey, and the rest went that direction, until Ryan asked the boy to stop and they all stopped.
