[i]How did it feel the moment you died?  Could you even remember it?
Was it a release from the bonds of this mortal coil?  A shelter from the tumultuous storm that ravaged your soul for so long?  But now...when death no longer exists, how can your soul ever find that peace?  Will it drive you to the very depths of depravity, knowing you are caught in the endless circle of undeath, never to feel the sweet embrace....of endless shadow...except in mere dreams?

Thou who art undead, thou art cursed, but thou art not the only one...  O where will your weary soul lay to rest?[/i][/center]

All around the city, the dead stirred.  Corpses, long forgotten and long picked upon by carrion birds, shambled to life, groaning in misery.  Their foul stench of rot carried upon the chilling winds wailing like banshees in the dead of night, and their mournful cries echoed in the far reaches of ancient Veldrick.

There, a light, dim and flickering, shined in the darkness of a keep.  She waited there beside the tiny flame, quietly poking at it with her birch twig...
