Necromancer's Oath

by Diago The Ultimate Necromancer

Necromancy, the power to rouse the dead and bend them to your will, this is the most wicked and unholy form of magic. This marks the first chapter of Diago Rigron, a flirtatious, enigmatic drow, who just might the Ultimate Necromancer. (Please Comment, i welcome criticism but there is a thin line between criticism and flaming. Don't Flame)

1. Chapter 1: Awakening

Death, the final destination, the final resting place, or more simply put…..the end, a force which is more powerful than any other form of magic in the world, but there are those who can control it and manipulate it at will, they are called Necromancers, practitioners of the forbidden arts.

"I must escape" this thought races through my head as I ran deeper into the Feywilds, I only wished to live in peace but a Drow living among the Eladrin was just asking for trouble, sooner or later they were going to find out my identity I just wished it wasn't so soon. My energy was running thin so I stopped by a tree to catch my breath, how convenient that when I'm resting is when the animals of the wilderness wish to attack me. There it was, staring me in the face, a Dread Wolf, one of the most vicious animals of the Feywilds, I tried to run but my feet felt as if they were made of stone, I have always choose reckless decisions because I felt no fear but for this moment I felt the most afraid. The Dread Wolf lunged at me and my life flashed before my eyes, so this is what it's like to be afraid, at that moment I felt a presence, the presence spoke to me, her voice was soft, kind, and gentle but above all that surprised me she spoke in a language I have never heard before, Supernal, the language of the gods, even though I never heard that language before I felt as if I could still understand her words she told me "Do you fear death, child?" I gasped "Do not fear death, yet don't embrace it. Conquer it. In order to conquer death one must first defeat it, so tell me boy. Will you do it? Will you defeat it? Will you conquer death? Show me your answer through your resolve" the voice faded away, even though it was gone the words still shook me, I stood up straight and the Dread Wolf lunges at me, I catch it by the neck and I feel a mysterious energy flow through my body to my hand, it was cold, dark, and most of all intimidating, as if it were death itself, this energy then began to manifest itself in my hand in the form of a green glow, as this occurred I felt the Dread Wolf's energy, it's heartbeat slowly begin to fade and my body begins to feel lighter, as if my breathlessness and my fatigue never happened. This was darkness. This was the endless void. This was Necromancy.
