The sound of his label made Shadow's hackles rise. He looked at the boy sternly. "What the hell do you want with the Necromancer?"

  Twitch looked at him with confusion. "Why does this concern you? Or are you always this uptight?"

  Shadow growled and looked off to the side. Max stepped in and answered for Shadow. "Why would you want to have the Necromancer join you in this quest?"

  Twitch looked at him blanky and then at Hunter. "We NEED a dead raiser. He can be able to raise most of what we had already lost and use them against Azazel!"

  Max steadied himself and turned to Zack. The blond exchanged the glance. "His skills ARE helpful...." He then turned to Shadow. "What do you say?"

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Shadow sighed and looked at Twitch. "Fine, I'll take it."

  Twitch looked even more confused. "YOU'RE the Necromancer?"

  Shadow nodded.

  Twitch scoffed. "I don't believe this..."

  Irritably, Shadow changed his form and looked directly at the boy, as he knelt down and grabbed a random dead animal from their pile and focused his magic onto it, making it become full of life again as it squeaked with confusion. Shadow looked back at Twitch. "Is that enough proof for you?"

  Twitch's face grew blank once again as he slowly looked back at him. "You're a shapeshifter too?"

  The blond witch nodded. "The name's Shadow by the way..."

  Twitch chuckled. "I KNOW your name!" He said defensively.

  Shadow continued to stare at him as he picked the animal back up and snapped its neck. "Then USE it!"

  Twitch looked at the limp animal in the boy's hand and gulped.
