Chapter 9: Ch. 8 – Beast Tamer

Around Momo, an army of undead rose. A war party of battle-hungry skeletons, at the ready to die for their fearless leader.

Okay—slight exaggeration. Two short and stubby goblin skeletons stood next to her in the pit of dirt, making unintelligible moaning sounds. And they weren’t exactly ready to die, seeing as they were already very dead.

“Stupid cooldowns,” Momo mumbled, gripping a piece of parchment in her hand. The parchment had a ticking countdown on it. Thirty more seconds. She had already been in this smelly pit for over an hour, having to wait thirty minutes between each casting.

Making the best of her time while she waited, she unwrapped the orders that Valerica had given her a day before—more maps and addresses for customer leads.

Trent Magelegs

100 South Way

Bruda

Momo giggled. Mage legs? What kind of name was that?

The timer on her parchment stopped, the countdown complete.

“Yes!” she fist-pumped the air, and then looked towards the next pile of bones, “[Raise Undead].”
