Jacob thought about the options available. One was messing and hard, the other was just work. But Jacob wanted to make sure the job got done right so he sighed. "I'll take the beheading for $1000 Alex." Jacob quipped. It wasn't that he didn't trust Ricky to do it right. It was just his control freak in him. He would have done the same with Nox, though Nox wouldn't have offered he'd have used the power to behead and burn the bodies and shove the corpse ashed deep with in the earth. He was a practial man, Jacob was. And he was glad to be going in the right direction with the godlings. Though there were still dangerous ones out there. He was fairly certain the Ascendancy was one, even if Nox trusted him.
They reached the cave again and inside the dead corpse. Jacob took the machete from the pack and sighed as he looked at the foul creature. "I guess I should get started."
The creature was heavy and Jacob knew that it would be hard to behead at this angle so he used what he could to leverage it's head into a position that would allow for the sharp weapon to cut through the spinal cord and muscles without having to hack and saw at the bones. At least he hoped that was the case.
When the head was severed from the body it rolled a few feet away, dead eyes staring up at Jacob. He kicked it over and then started digging a shallow hole. They would still want to bury the ashes. But they wouldn't need to go so deep. The ground in the cave wasn't frozen thankfully.
