The lumps wheeze again and crawl forward with jagged cramping movements. He spent all night comparing it to all he knows of necromancy and there’s just nothing that adds up. “But I don’t understand… how is it… held together?” Victor asks, which isn’t the only thing he doesn’t understand by far ( why the fuck, would be his first question, actually), but the workings of the magic involved puzzle him the most. It opens two orifices that might be its mouths and makes a thin wheezing sound.
