I, Eternity
Necro-Licious
Largot chased Eystein and Leon examined the dead bodies. There were Brennus, Fathis, and somehow Rostrin had also managed to have his body land near them. Ignoring him for the moment, Leon reached into his magic bag and oulled out a large book. It's pages were browned and frayed, and it smelled moldy. Flipping through it, Leon closed his body's eyes and opened his second sight. Reaching into the world of possibility, he saw that the souls were still nearby.
He opened his body's eyes quickly.
"Everyone." He said, "we might be in luck."
Dan, distraught, looked up from his dead friend's body, as Engar looked up from his brother's. "What do you mean?"
"Their souls are still here in this world. If we act quickly, I may be able to heal them. The easiest way to say it is that they aren't all the way dead yet."
Quickly, Leon prepared his spells and incantations. As he reached into his second sight again, he also began to use a sort of second voice. The souls of those who had fallen began to walk towards him. Rostrin, instead of going towards his own body, approached him.
"I'm dead, aren't I?" He asked.
"Yes, you are." Leon said.
"Well, I have a request for you."
"Well, what is it? Bear in mind this is your fault and I know it, so don't be going too crazy with your favors."
"I also know it's my fault. You can't see them, but those farther gone than me, they've shown me what I've done. How horrible..." Rostrin's ghost hesitated, making a ghostly imitation of a sob.
"Man up." Leon said. "What do you want?"
"Please, I must atone." Rostrin said. "Guide me back to my body, and let me live on to repent."
"I don't think I'm gonna do that." Leon said.
"Please!" Rostrin begged. "I am surrounded by you and your allies. If I do anything you will kill me again, and even if I decided to betray and kill one of you, I would soon be killed and without a chance of ressuraction!"
Leon thought about it. "All right, but if you do anything funny, I'll personally gut you like a fish and make a necklace from your eyeballs."
He guided the spirits back to their bodies, and after they settled in he returned to his body-sight. The bodies began to stir, healed. He knew that they would be wobbly and dizzy for some hours, but that they would live.
Atop the back of the massive black Dragon, Largot returned. He jumped off, and his eye flared as he saw Rostrin. He drew his sword and leon stopped him.
"Hold on, everyone, let me explain." Leon said.
"No, let me." Rostrin said. "I told Leon that I had seen the horror I have caused firsthand. I asked to be given this chance to atone. Most specifically, I ask you, Engar and Brennus, for forgiveness. I ask that this senseless feud ends today."
He knelt in front of the brothers. They took one look at eachother then each offered him a hand.
"You seem repentant enough." Brennus said.
"I'm not exactly the grudge-holding type." Engar said. They pulled him up. Leon smiled and began to walk off.
As he reached the docks, he heard footsteps behind him. He saw, as he expected, Largot and the others. Largot looked prepared to shove off.
"You're leaving?" he asked Largot. He nodded, and Leon smiled.
"Great, I'm coming too."
"What?" Largot asked.
"Why are you going?" Dan asked.
"Won't you stay and help us build up the village?" Laria asked.
"I'm just Leon the wanderer." Leon said. "You guys are all better suited to it. Besides, just trust me on this, Largot is gonna need my help more than you guys."
Largot and his crew began loading up the ship.
"Don't worry. I'll see you all again. That's a promise." Leon smiled before jumping onto the ship. he waved once then ducked below as the sun began to rise.
"I hate boats." He muttered to himself. "You're gonna owe me big for this, Largot."
