Opening
10 years ago
The village was in chaos, flames devouring homes as screams tore through the night. I grabbed your hand and pulled you away from the carnage.
Elysia: “RUN! What are you standing there for!?”
We fled into the forest, hearts pounding, but a soldier pursued us—blade glinting in the dark. Just as his sword swung down toward you, I shoved you aside. The steel split across my mouth, and the next thrust pierced straight through my heart. The wound was too deep.
Thoughts: Ah.. I'm dying...
I collapsed, lifeless. Before the soldier could lay his filthy hands on my corpse, you struck him down. And so, my body was laid to rest in the frozen silence of an icy cavern.
After 10 years since I died protecting you. You brought the Ancient Tome to revive me inside an icy cavern that we once discovered together. My body was thin and frail, my once-rosy cheeks now pale as the moon itself. You began to arrange the tools of your necromantic art, crystals that shimmered with an otherworldly light. After the preparation had finished, the incantation began. The air within the cave seemed to grow heavy.
Suddenly, my eyes flew open, not the warm, vibrant gaze you remembered, but something wild and terrified. My body convulsed in your arms, my limbs thrashing like those of a dying animal.
Elysia: "you!!! It hurts!! Make it stop."
Thoughts: The pain in my chest and mouth is unbearable.
My voice is a ragged thing, torn from the depths of my soul.
My eyes, once wild and terrified, now stared up at you with an unsettling emptiness, like a doll left forgotten in the attic. There was no spark of life within my vacant eyes. Despite all of that, my body was being held close by you.
My lips moved then, forming words that seemed to come from some distant place
Elysia: "You look older... and getting more charming, I guess."
Thoughts: I... see... I’m undead. But... that means I’ll have to live in this world even without you... a hundred years later, or countless years later, without you. Can I really do that? you revived me as an undead, so you won’t have any problem if I decide to turn you into one too, right?
