Chapter 33 - Chappie 33

"Next, would be to perform the ritual with a phylactery..."

"Sorry for interrupting you all of a sudden but, what is a phylactery?" Nigel asked.

"A phylactery is like a container where a Lich keeps it's soul, kind of like it's heart. If you destroy the phylactery of a Lich, the Lich dies. That is why most Liches keep their phylactery hidden where only they can find it."

"So what you're basically saying is that, if we want to defeat Alfred aka the Lich King and take back our kingdom, we just need to find his phylactery and then destroy it. " Prince Matthew said with excitement.

"Yes. However, finding the phylactery is no joke. You wouldn't even know where to start looking. " Mordecai replied.

"Great, just great! Our kingdom is being attacked by a dead guy who not only refused to die but, even brought his undead friends to come attack us as well." Cecelia grumbled.

"Mordecai, does the Lich King have any powers we should be wary of?" Viola asked.

"Of course he does. The Lich King has powers like; Mind control, Undead manipulation, spell casting and Possession. Possession is used if the Lich King's current body is destroyed. It gives him the ability to completely take over a dead body."

"Wow, good for us." Cecelia said sarcastically.

"Wait, what about Elenor? Is she also a Lich? " asked Henry.

"No, Elenor is not a Lich. She is a necromancer." Mordecai shifted till he found a comfortable position, sat down and continued. "A necromancer is a person or wizard of some sort who studies and practices the magic that governs life and death. It is a very powerful magic but it is also forbidden. Necromancers are also called occultists or black magicians. "

"Necromancy can be used to revive the dead, curse and deeply wound enemies and also to summon and command corpses." he finished.
