Jay wasn't sure exactly what they were saying; perhaps they needed basic definitions, like what exactly a human was, or what it meant to kill something, or to die. Thankfully the entire teaching process was quite fast, only taking as much as a minute.

It didn't take long for a small pile of rocks to form at his side, most of them covered in black filth after the skeletons dug them from the swamp's decaying earth.
