Just an hour later, he, Ian, and Master Kortho were in a room on the necromancy wing, near the resurrection chambers.

“I’m sorry, lad,” said Kortho. “You know the rules.”

“Fuck the rules. Bring her back.”

“She isn’t family,” said Ian. “Soul essence is so expensive, they’ll only let me bring family back.”

“She isn’t family? She was going to be your sister-in-law in less in less than a month, you moron. Or don’t you remember the wedding invite you never replied to?”

Kortho leaned forward. “Witas, do you know how much essence it takes to do this? To resurrect one person, we need the equivalent of a dozen lives’ worth of soul essence. That isn’t given lightly, with kingdom funds being as they are. It is a perk of necromancers that they are allowed-”

“A perk? Saving her life is a perk?”

“This isn’t saving her life; it is granting her a new one. She has had her time.”

“Twenty-four years old, murdered in an alleyway. She had her time?”

“None of us can measure death and calculate when he’ll come. Death is beyond reasoning. I’m sorry, Witas.”

Witas looked at his brother. “Ian? Tell them you want to use your perk.”

Ian said nothing for a few seconds.

Witas knew then he’d never forgive his brother for that pause; it lasted only a moment, but there should have been no doubt. Witas wouldn’t have hesitated even a millisecond if everything was reversed.

“Kortho, I’d like to use my resurrection,” said Ian.

Kortho shook his head. “It isn’t yours to dish out like sweet treats, novice. The academy decides when your resurrection will be used, and guidelines are clear; only a necromancer or their immediate blood family can use it.”
