Reunited

Valkyrie walked out, sorcerers of the sanctuary passing her. Suddenly there was a figure next to her.

"What have you done so far today?"

"Well, let's see I´ve killed a remnant, banned your armour and saved your life. Nothing big."

"Nice", Skulduggery said.

"Nice?", Valkyrie asked.

"Oh if I weren't so envy about you, I would say that it's really awesome, but then I also have to think of you being the Death Bringer and you now having this power doesn't make the whole thing any better. And the remnant thing doesn't really count cause it was Darquesse."

"You´re so negative."

"Oh no I'm realistic."

Valkyrie began to laugh.

"You´re jealous."

"Honestly haven't been so jealous for a long time."

"To come back to this Death Bringer thing, once again. Have you ever thought of me killing the people who want me to kill people?"

"As I'm assured that you aren't speaking of me, I can assume that you want to rot the face of Necromancy away from this planet?"

"May this is what I am here for", Valkyrie said, climbing inside the Bentley.

Tanith sat down on the place next to her.

"Hey.", she said.

"Howdy",Stephanie answered with a smile.

"Howdy? Are you an cowboy or something?"

"Oh," said Valkyrie with a smile in her face.

"What?" asked Tanith.

"You haven't seen it yet."

Her forefinger pointed on Tanith's shirt. Tanith looked down on to herself, than shrieked, as she saw the jeans waistcoat. She had just popped her shirt, as the back door got opened and Ghastly slided into the demolished car. As he saw Tanith, he was like frozen. He just looked right into her eyes. She took its head with both hands and gave him a kiss.

"Hey", she said, as he stroke her hair.

"Howdy," Ghastly said, as she touched his wounded arm.

"Before this thing gets kind of too private, I do have some questions for you, Elder Bespoke."

"Oh come on call me ..."

"You´re an Elder now?" Tanith asked and Valkyrie and Skulduggery had to grin.

"Yes, but thats not important now."

"What are you going to do with Kenny?"

"He knows too much for just letting him run and isn´t worth the paperwork killing him. I´ll give him a job at the Sanctuary."

"You do want to let the man who hit me with a shovel be one of us?"

"Exactly. He has potential."

"I´ll treat him.", Valkyrie said, grin on her lips.

"So, Ghastly, tell me, what did you exactly suppose Nye to make him help you", Skulduggery asked. Ghastly got serious again.

"A corpse, one that will be findable there after the fight."

"There were three of them, two burned Faceless and ...", Valkyrie stopped.

"And China." Ghastly swallowed. "He chose her."
