"Hyaaa!" I shouted as my dire black axe cut through the paladin captain's last bit of hit points. "Grrrr….I'll remember this, Necromancer!" the captain shouted as he ran from the fight. "Come back any time! I just love beating the crap out of you guys!" I shouted back. Afterwards, I turned to face the orb set on a pillar level with my chest. "Well, that's another one! Time to take this one back to Obsidia and get my new skill!" I said with a hint of joy in my voice.

Of course, that was earlier. Hi, my name's Reginald. I'm a level 72 Guardian that has finally completed the necromancer skill. My Guardian armor is black with red trim and a red cape. My black spiky hair is probably my best feature. Now that you know about me, I might as well continue my tale. Walking back to Battleon, my first stop was to talk to Twilly, the local moglin. He's a helpful little guy in his own right. "Heya Twilly!" I said with contentment in my voice. "Hiyas! Need healing again?" "Yeah…" "No problem!" and a few seconds later, I felt refreshed. "Thanks again Twilly! Bye!" I waved good-bye as I walked to the Inn. I was instantly greeted by Twig, the yellow moglin that seems to follow Blackhawke. "Hiyas Reginald!" "Oh hey Twig!" I smiled at the little moglin. He never ceased to amaze me, with his optimistic attitude. I walked over to Robina Hood, Lore's best archer. "Hello Robina!" I said with that same cheerful attitude. "Oh hey! Wow. I didn't know you were a necromancer!" She said with cheerfulness. "Huh?" I looked down and saw not my Guardian armor, but my Obsidian Cloak. Quite a fine purchase, might I add. "Uh...Heh heh!" I said nervously while scratching the back of my head. "Oh cut it out. I know you're not a bad necromancer." She said with that, 'Oh-come-off-it-already!' tone. "I suppose…" I replied casually. She replied in a cheerful tone again, "So what can I help you with? Quests? Weapons?" I shook my head. "Can't I just stop to say hi before I go out adventuring again?" She looked surprised for a second, then nodded. "Uh-huh. Well, I won't stop you! Have fun and try not to die!" She said that last sentence chuckling. I laughed a bit myself. "I'll try not to. See ya later!" I waved as I left the Inn to go find some monsters.

Sure enough, I was greeter with a Young Salamander. "Joy. Alrighty then. LET'S GO!" I shouted, drawing my Cryo Crystal Shard. The salamander started off by trying to ram me. I barely dodged and slashed it on the side. Normally, monsters would just sit there and take the attack, but not this salamander. This one actually countered my strike! It fired a powerful blast of fire that hit me square in the chest. I lost my breath as I was knocked flat on my back. The salamander tried to trample me, but I got out of the way in time. I got up rather slowly. Hey, you would too if you got winded. I used the special on my Crystal Shard, which summoned a weird looking dog that seemed to be made of crystal. It pounced on the salamander, dealing heavy damage due to element weakness. I then took the opportunity to slash its neck a load of times. It dodged most of them but it took a few major gashes to the neck at the end of my strikes. It cried out in pain and collapsed, but was still alive. I jumped in the air and dealt the final hit. It roared out in pain, and then collapsed for good. I was feeling a bit woozy myself. I collapsed to the ground and my vision started to blur. The last thing I saw before blacking out was a shade of green and a lot of brown. My final thoughts were, 'Joy. Am I going to die?' The blurriness started to disappear as I slipped into unconsciousness.
