    Name
    Kurtz Jeane
    Location
    Alerar
    The events that lead Kurtz to the present had been pieced back together, and he glanced at his right hand, feeling it as whole as the day he was born. He used his right hand to feel the place in his stomach where he had been wounded, finding no hole. The only cuts and scrapes were on his hands from where he’d tried to beat on the door, even the beatings from the bandits had left no marks. He’d thought it a dream had he not woken up in the same room.

    He turned back to the dias, seeing no sarcophagus or skull. Having his memory return, he felt glad to have his health back, but the moments of numb clarity from earlier still frightened him, as did the lack of an exit. Gratitude and misery enveloped him in equal parts, and once more he felt like crying.

    “Slave! Why do you sit there and weep? Your master commands you to stand, for we have vengeance to enact upon our traitorous disciples.” The Skulls voice echoed through his head. Kurtz stood suddenly, the first sound he’d truly heard since waking up. “Where…where are you? Who are you? What vengeance?”

    “Impertinant slave… We are your master. We are Nemanth’Al, Lord of Darkness, God of Undeath, The First Lich and the Greatest Sorceror the world has ever known. It Is into our crypt you entered, attempting to steal from us. We have chosen to forgive your trespass, saving your life. More so, We have chosen you to become our Vessel, we shall grant you our power and allow you to take up the mantel of Lich Lord in our place after our revenge is fulfilled. The power to see any goal realized is in your grasp, a prize any would seek to claim.” The voice spoke with regal authority.

    “Master? Slave? It seems I’ve always been a servant, I have no wish to serve another master. I would sooner just die than submit to the cruelties of another again.” Kurtz said, crying into his knees, remembering his father selling him into slavery to the count, and the bandits forcing him forward into the tomb, costing him his arm and ultimately his life. Being forced to serve another seemed too depressing to contemplate.

    “You are no longer Death's to claim, Slave. We have destroyed our Phylactory, placing our soul inside of you, allowing what is left our power to course through you. Death is yours to rule over Slave, but never again to be ruled by. You shall walk this world as an undead, just as we did. Take care not to fall into a torpor like the mindless do Slave. Those without ambition, drive and desire lose the will to move, eventually falling into a perpetual lethargy. Those of us who use Death as a tool, the greatest of undead cultivate grand ambitions and fuel our desires to keep us moving, but you? Your only desire is to return to a mundane life, fleeting indeed. We will endeavor to find a goal to keep you from falling into that fate worse than death, forever awake and aware, but never again to move.”

    The thought of never dying, never moving, forever trapped in a limbo between terrified Kurtz, and once again he bemoaned his fate. “Alright…How do we leave this place then?” Kurtz said, resigned to his fate. “Lift your hand towards the door slave, this shall be the first lesson we teach you, to call upon our power.” Kurtz did as instructed, lifting his hand. “Our traitorous disciples drained much of our power, but they knew not the true depths of us. Feel the void inside you, the small sense of something missing… Focus on that, let it grow until it fills your entire being. Once you are full, extend that feeling towards the door.”

    He closed his eyes for a few moments, feeling from a place of emotions instead a place of physical sensation. Eventually he was able to accomplish the task set before him, and suddenly a large, black blast of energy shot from his hand, and the door blasted apart. A similar sensation occurred, as the numbing of emotions once again overtook Kurtz.

    “That is the Lethargy Slave, that coldness that eats emotion and pain. As you use our power, that feeling will increase, and eventually you will fall into that Torpor. It will take a great act of Will to force you to move at that point, so take care not to use our power needlessly. For now, force your way forward, that passage should lead back to the entrance once again, from there, we head off to find our wayward Disciples, and reclaim my power as we seek our vengeance.”

    This time, the thought of being able to leave this dark, dank tomb was enough motivation to return to his normal self, he walked through the ruined door, and stepped out into his new life. He had no idea what would happen from here on out, but at least he felt a little more secure in the ability to protect himself. The fear of becoming a catatonic vegetable frightened him, but the excitement of surviving the trial washed his fears away. At least for now, He got to live.
