“No,” I say.
“I heard a vampire needs to be decapitated and burned to keep it from rising again.”
“That’s an extra superstition,” I say, even though I am loath to extend our conversation.
“But what about necromancy?”
The fear is evident in his tone. This marshal don’t know much about outlaws. Not too much of a surprise, as this town ain’t all that close to the Rift.
Taking pity on him—not that he deserves it—I say, “A necromancer could bring back a body only with the head attached. You could burn a whole body, too, and not decapitate it, to keep a necromancer from bringing it back. But it ain’t necessary to do both. Trust me, this one’s deader than dead. I don’t want to have to come back here and kill it again.”
“Thank you,” he says. “It’s a kindness that you explained this to me.”
I shrug. I’m a charmslinger, not a monster. Although to plenty of people around here, those two things are one and the same.
