"While he had been with the Shaman, Iktomi had picked up a few small things. What plants and fungi that were edible, what herbs to use for healing, and some minor spells. The spell he wished to perfrm was not only highly tricky, but it had never been performed by a familiar let alone a reanimated one. He had much to do in a very short time.

The spell have to be performed within 24 hoursand hat deadline was drawing near. The full harvest moon aided as he finished his preparation. The fire at his feet crackled and spit like a fierce cobra, blazing a venomous orange and green. His course voice broke as he chanted and danced. Hazards body was level with his chest and was shrouded in growing mists. The opossums corpse jerked and shook, her eyes opening, revealing bright gold eyes. Iki slammed his paws together, the sound sending the mists scattering, fire dissipating. Both Iki and Hazzard collapsed to the ground, two hearts beating heavily."
