[Death did not have to be the end. Not physically- not if you could get to someone in time. Blood stopped pumping through the veins, oxygen stopped flowing to the brain, all of those things could cause lasting damage, but if the person was revived in time... heartbeat could be restored. Life could be restored.
But magically... Sieglinde had always known necromancy existed when she had been a girl, but the line of the Green Witch did not dabble in the dark arts. (That's what she had always been told.) Coming into ALASTAIR, however, had opened her mind to even more possibilities in that field, from true resurrection to an enthralled half-life. Even a spell to wake the dead mere minutes in order to take from them knowledge.
But it had always been abstract. Just something to read about, never a spell she should ever see cast. Never on someone she cared about or even knew.]
Koltira brought you back... ?
[She already knows he did. He is the only one she knows capable of such a thing, after his talk of it before the battle in Nalawi. But still, she wanted that confirmation.
Hadn't she told him, back then, that she would heal anyone injured to make sure they needn't be brought back in such an unholy fashion- as he had been cursed to be? Hadn't she swore to work to prevent that ability ever being used on one of their own? ]
