Chapter 364: The dangers of mid wives.

Before Sigrid could respond, her arm was grabbed by her mother whose nostrils were flared from all the fast angry breathing she was doing. She was like a dragon whose hoard of gold had been stolen.

"Bring her back to life." She hissed.

"What?" Sigrid found herself lost at the request. How was she supposed to bring a dead woman back to life?

Sigrid’s staff of loyalty appeared in her hands. "I trust oaths that lead to instant death more than empty words." She jutted her chin towards the dead phantom mage. "Once upon a time she made a promise and gave her word. Breaking it had one consequence.
