Ethan was leaning over the fallen bodies of the Valkyries, his expression serene but focused. The signs of the recent battle were still visible in the surrounding ice, and the air remained infused with the residual energy of the magic used. He looked at the inert figures of the Valkyries and extended his hands over them. A faint dark glow began to envelop them, penetrating every fiber of their bodies.
The process was not new to Ethan; he had revived countless beings before, but these Valkyries were different. They were gods—though not as powerful as Anuket or Ra, they were the strongest beings Ethan had ever revived. He had lost all his undead in the fight against Malakai and Ra, and now it was time to start replenishing them.
"Maia, can you control them?" Ethan asked as the black glow surrounded the fallen Valkyries, regenerating their essence.
Maia's voice quickly sounded inside Ethan's head.
