Humphrey saw light once again and for a moment, he wondered if he had found his way into the Afterlife.
But then, he heard voices and instinctively, he turned towards the origin.
"How can you do this?" A muscular man who looked quite familiar questioned in slight annoyance.
An unfamiliar man, shrouded in a cloak formed from darkness and dotted with white light, replied. "I need him."
"And for that reason, you desecrate his corpse?... He was a great warrior deserving of a warrior's death, yet you deprive him of that."
"There is no reason to waste good material if there is a means to repurpose it."
"You disgust me."
"I never hoped to impress you so give it a rest. There are much better things to worry about than this unless for some reason you are confident in defeating Winter."
"..." No response was given but it was clear the muscular man was unhappy as he snorted before proceeding to look away.
