A young man approaches a small village. Dressed in a cloak of forest green. With eyes like emeralds. But there is no joy in those eyes. Just cold darkness. Eyes that have seen hell and back.

As he enters the village gate. He hears whispers, but he holds his head high and started straight for the inn, determined not to let them know how much there raised eyebrows and facial expression hurt him.

This behavior was common to him. But it still didn't mean. He got use to it.

He fell upon his thoughts trying to ignore the people around him. For it was a long way to the inn.

'The life I live is a lonely one. But I understood that it would be before I chose it.
People see me as a threat to there lively hood. Being around the dead so much. They think if they get close to me. Death might rub off on them.

Maybe it might. I'm starting to believe it myself.

In my short live time I have seen and done many horrible things. Things that caused people to look down on me.

As I walk through the streets now. People part as they see me.

Fear.

Fear of me.

But all the things I have done I have done for a good cause. A worthy cause. Since my powers were awakened and intensified I have vowed only to do good.

You might wonder how much good a Necromancer can do? A person who lives death. How can they help stop death.

Necromancy is not evil. As people might think. It all depends on fields you base your studies upon. And whether you decided to use your powers for the good of people or for the downfall of civilization.

There are so few of us. I have never meet another of my kind, except my teacher.

Probably its better that way. If I were to find out they were doing the latter instead of the right path I would have to kill them. And I have enough blood on my hands as it is.

He opened the door to the inn. And went in.

He also received stares from the occupiers of the bar and the care taker of the inn.

He walked up to the counter.

"How much for bed and room a night?" he said as he saw that the care taker was afraid of him.

"1..180..g..gil..sir"

The man dropped the money on the counter, and took the key that was given to him.

"Y….Your dinner will be sent up within the hour" the care taker stuttered.

He nodded and headed towards his room.

The room was small, confining, and the bed didn't look all to comfortable, but it was better than outside.

But he was too tired to go and complain.

He had fought a small army of dryad's, of today, as he counted off the amount of lives he's taken, him and Zhanto.

His pet.

Him and Zhanto have been together since the beginning.

But he couldn't' keep Zhanto with him in the inn. So he laid Zhanto in a safeplace, outside of the small village. If someone where to find him it would be trouble and he would have to find another place to stay.

But he couldn't think about it right now hopeful Zhanto will remain well hidden.

He undressed himself , blow out the candles and climbed into bed. Within a matter of minutes he was already in a deep slumber.

#A woman and a boy stand on a hill.

The woman reaches out.

The child reaches for the woman.

# 'Catherine……you came back'

# 'I needed someone to give my powers to.'

# 'I will receive you' the green eyed boy replies as he holds the woman's hand.

# 'Thank you…..your powers will be far greater than anyone of our kind, but I will help them awaken faster by giving you my powers….are you sure you want this.?

# 'Of course I do…the boy looks up and smiles at her…

#If I don't you wont be able to rest. And the least I can do is give you that…after you gave your life for me.

# 'Even if you know the threat that it will bring to the world.'

# 'Yes, I will still receive you.

The boy closes his eyes, while he and the woman begin to glow a faint green.

# 'Cause you are my world.

The sky starts falling around them.

'it's time for me to go.'

Catherine……
