Chapter 4: Ch. 3 – The Wizard of Kalendale

Phil’s fur was falling off.

They were three quarters of the way to Kalendale, a town whose motto was EAT WELL, WORK HARD, AND DESTROY ALL NECROMANCERS, a fact which Momo discovered while searching for directions, only to find the inviting slogan plastered on the local regional map.

“No, no, Phil, stop it,” she said, frantically picking up the clumps of fur as Phil scratched them off with his back paw, “I can’t be killed on my first assignment, what will Valerica think?”

He ignored her, continuing to scratch his backside. Half of his bony butt poked out, skeletally mooning half the road behind them.

Momo was halfway to pulling out her own hair.

“Okay, okay,” she pressed at her face, calming herself down, “this is fine. I just cast the thingy again. [Disguise].”
