Oscar is a little hesitant. "Are you sure?" says Oscar unsure. Oscar might be be brave againest most normal creature but this is new to him. Oscar slowly walks to Redin and puts his hands on Redin.
The ghost phantom horse stared at him with deep purple eyes giving sharp whinny. She laughed walking over "he won't bite he can buck though" said getting onto the horses back bareback the stallion snorted deeply as it stomped a massive hoof
Luckily Oscar has a map with him. He takes it out and shows it to the maiden. He points where they are roughly and where the camp is. If the maiden is lost, Oscar points in the general direction.
She nodded and spoke in the tounge of the dead as the horse nodded and shot forward into a blazing gallop through the forest and down the mountains and through the valley withing three hours they came to the camp and the horse came toa stop as the female looked around slowly "seems pretty dead" she said as she slowly got off as the stallion snorted deeply.
"I abandoned it after My men died here under my command. I am but a single man. I can not carry everything." Says Oscar a little annoyed as he gets off the horse. Afterwards he realizes his mistake, Oscar bites his tongue and hoping that it will be his undoing.
She looked at him sharply but walked to the iddle of the camp her body glowed a blast of soul magic flew around as the spirits of his troops appeared all around the place, They looked lost and unknowing where they wished to go. though oscar could talk with them they wouldn't understand him as they do not speak english anymore on;y the tounge of the dead. She hummed and spoke ina tounge unknown to man as the troops looked at her and they sat down on the ground as she smiled and nodded "alright, this might take a while" she said looking at all the man.
Oscar felt dishearted that he could not say sorry. Oscar watched the woman do her magic. It feels otherworldly and powerful. He stands without moving and saying nothing.
As she talked she was comfused as she said "strange allof them say different ways they died, some say a song some say someone kissedthem others said horrible fear killed them" said looking at the soilders softly and allowed them to pass to the after life and smiled watching them wave and vanish as she nodded her head.
Oscar is glad that his men have moved on. Oscar frowned at the revelation presenred before him. "Sounds like some sort of magic was used by a female which is not you. The strangest thing is that I was spared from their fates. It makes no sense."
"Maybe whoever killed your men was after you and wanted no one in their way?" she asked looking around slightly at the camp trying to get a read on magic something unable to find any and was confused
" It is highly likely. It still begs the question. Why spare me if I was as powerless as my men? Also why me? I am not part of the royal court nor am I a powerful merchant. I am a solider but I rejected to take any higher ranks of power. I can not figure out why." says Oscar as he grows fustreted at the question.
The female necromancer shrugged her shoulders "Well that will take time to uncover because well only way we find out....find the creature that killed them"
"How do you suppose we do that? Even if we do find it, how do we fight it?' Oscar says in an outburst. once he realizes what he did, he take a few deep breaths and calms down. "Sorry. I just feel guilty for their deaths, even thou I know I was not responsible. I would not blame you if you leave me but I can not do this without your help."
"Well there is always ways to find monsters and easiest way is follow that trail" said pointing to the burnt trail that lead into the forest as she smiled gently.
Seeing the burnt trail, Oscar is wary of it ,despite his experience and skills because his senses are telling him not to go. " That is not a normal trail.By the looks of it, whatever made it won't be friendly but we knew that already."
