Valkyrie nudged Skulduggery in order to gain his attention. Across the road was a thin, weedy man, his bright white hair, reflecting light from the surrounding street lights. Valkyrie could only imagine the rage within Skulduggery at this moment, however before she had a chance to he was out the car, facade activated, walking towards Horath.
"Hello friend," Skulduggery's voice smooth, and hiding of the venom it was laced with.
"Skulduggery," Horath's voice, which was anything but smooth, showed the shock, and anxiety, coursing through every synapse in his body.
"Miss me," Skulduggery spat his lethal venom at Horath. Without a reply Horath turned and sprinted, Skulduggery however, was soon on his heels.
"Must you run Horath? I Really Do-." Before Skulduggery could finish, a shadow struck out at Horath forcing him to fall to the floor. Valkyrie stood on the opposite side of the road, a smug grin on her face and her hand on her hip.
"Necromancy still useless?" She asked, already knowing the answer.
"Well, it may have its up sides." Skulduggery hated to admit it, but necromancy wasn't all bad, yes it had its cons but then again, it did have its pros.
"So you admit it?"
"Admit what?"
"Necromancy is sometimes, just as good as elemental magic."
"Sometimes, however necromancy can also lead to a lot of estranged people, wanting to form the "passage," by killing three million people. So..."
"So I'll practice elemental magic till the day I die." Valkyrie sounded crushed at the thought of only being able to practice one type of magic for the rest of her life.
"Now enough of your grumpiness, let's get him in the boot."
"You say that so naturally Mr Pleasant, should I be worried?" Valkyrie laughed
"Not yet." Skulduggery accompanied this comment with an attempt at a menacing evil laugh which well, failed, causing Valkyrie to burst out in laughter.
