We are now in the past, and the first panel shows a shot of the sky in between some trees.
Child1 (off screen): That's crazy, Devere! It ain't possible to just know where bones are at!
We see three children from above. A red-headed boy (Child1) with light skin, probably around the age of 12 or 13, and a younger boy (Child2) with southeast Asian traits. The third child is none other than a young Devere at the age of 7. They are in a wooded area, with many batches of white mushrooms on the ground. Devere is digging in the dirt near a said batch of mushrooms.
Child1: It'd take a long time of searchin'! You probably just got lucky once.
Child2: He's so weird.
Devere: I'm tellin' ya, I do! I just feel it, a coldness, an' there it is!
We see Devere's filthy hand holding a piece of bone up in the air, showing the other children. Child1 looks baffled, while Child2 seems curious.
Devere: Look! See?
Child2: Wha... that' a bone?
We see young Devere up close, who's looking happily at his find. He has short brown hair that's currently, of course, without any gray streak, a big open-mouthed grin with a tooth missing, and his eyes are more hazel in color, not yet stained by chartreuse green-colored magic. He proceeds to mispronounce the name of the bone in his hand.
Devere: Yep, I've found this 'ere type afore! Pa says it's a vertebee. Ya know, like from a spine?
Child1 (off screen): But... how could--
The realization hits Child1. He looks angry and mildly fearful, pointing accusingly at Devere.
Child1: Ah! You're a necromancer!
Devere looks at him, totally confused.
Devere: A what?
Child2 steps back with a look of disgust and holds up his hands defensively.
Child2: Oh my god, git away! You'll give us gangrene!
