Characters

Cataris the Lich

Reisia Liothei

Fionn Frostsword

Reisia Liothei stood in the courtyard of Aegis keep, standing beside his Minion named Fionn. They stood upright near Reisia's master and teacher, the legendary Lich, Cataris. He placed himself upon a stone road and spoke to Laurina concerning a topic not known to the two watching. While they conversed, Laurina's daughter meandered over to Reisia and suddenly kicked him in the shin. He jumped in pain, grunting and cursing. The child ran and hide behind her mother and chuckled. Cataris sighed and spoke, "Why do you have a child? They are obviously a nuisance."

"I love her. I know you've felt that before.." smirks Laurina as the annoyed Cataris growls with anger.

"Shut your mouth." sneers Cataris as Reisia and Fionn step forth, awaiting orders. Cataris turns to them. Earlier, Cataris took Reisia's soul in exchange for training to become a Necromancer. Cataris speaks from his skeletal mouth, "Did you find Rilath?" Reisia drops into a deep, subordinate bow and apologizes.

"No, Master. I told his 'partner' to deliver the message." sighs Reisia before Cataris replies.

"Regardless, you did not find him. I have a new trial for you instead....Are you alright with heading to Hanseti?" asks Cataris.

"Yes, Master." replies Reisia.

"Bring me the Tome of Thermodos from the Hanesti Catacombs." Cataris demands before Reisia scampers off with Minion Fionn in tow. They payed and bought two horses before heading south to Hanseti, blazing past Salvus, Arethor, and Das Boot. They rode all the way the The Maw before hoping off their steads. They wandered through the tunnel with a roof of ice and out the passage onto the snowy desert. They crossed the ice bridge and entered the capital, only to be met with a giant looming blizzard that blanked out the horizon and the sky.

Reisia and Fionn took shelter in an empty inn, warming by the fire and sleeping in empty, but clean, beds. The wooden building kept out the chilly air and the fire heated them in their sleep. When the pair awoke, all was calm. The billowing storm had passed and the sun shone bright over legions of white flakes. "Wake up!" orders Reisia as Fionn shoots from his sleep, waking with a startled yelp. The two head down the road, past armies of wheat and towers of ancient ruin. They arrive at an old stone mausoleum.

Reisia and Fionn each gave each other a slight nod before descending the steps into a grand and massive hallway.

Gazing at the pilars and banners, the two turned left at the end of the hall and into another massive corridor.

After another turn they trekked over a fragile ice bridge and into a massive tomb room, in which 3 giant coffins set upon stone with a large stained glass window depicting a figure...an evil figure.

Reisia lowered his white haired head to face the skeletal figure, alight with glowing energy standing before the imposing glass figure. It stared him in the eyes like a predator soon to crush his prey.

The Lich's voice is ancient, powerful, and breathtaking, "Who dares set foot in my tomb?!"

"I, Reisia Liothei, Apprentice of the Lich Cataris. I seek the Tome of Thermodos for my Master." replies Reisia, alongside Fionn he trembles slightly as he faces the archaic Lich.

"The Tome belongs to the dead...." staes the Lich before raising his staff in chant, shaking the very ground on which the men stood, "Rise my minions!" he shouts as three skeletal warriors raise from the earth.

Fionn drew his blade and Reisia his dagger, standing back to back in the large room, encircled by archaic warriors armed each differently with an axe, sword, and bow. The undead archer lifted himself into a hover and fly to his Lich master, gliding beside him. The axeman suddenly pounces Fionn, swinging his axe down on the man. Fionn quickly slashed away the blow and thrusted, the axeman immediately stepping back, screeching. The swordsman swung his eternal blade at Reisia only to be parryed by the curved dagger, causing the minion to let out a screech. Reisia dropped to his knees covering his ears, as did Fionn. The swordsman swung once more only to be met by Reisia's dagger thrust into his body, decimating him to ash.

"Got one!" smirks Reisia as he and Fionn circle each other, back-to-back. The archer screeched, letting an arrow fly towards Fionn, striking him against the wall. "NO!" screams Reisia as he runs over to Fionn, standing over him with his dagger raised. Fionn stood, raising his blade and blocking the now incoming waraxe of the minion. Reisia took the opportunity and snuck into the shadows of the pillars dotting the room. Reisia swung around a pillar, slid across the stone floor and slammed his steel dagger into the back of the skeletal axeman, instantly dropping him to dust. Reisia smirks to Fionn before they both dart back into the shadows. The archer screeches, echoing through out the halls like a ringing bell. Reisia watches as he hovers down the corridor and notches an arrow, letting it fly as Fionn pops his head out from behind a large pillar.

Reisia jumped and slashed the side of the minion's body as the arrow glided towards its target. The skeleton archer screamed viciously and dropped into a mere pile of ash, the arrow turning to dust in midair, an inch from Fionn's face.

"Whew, thank you Master!" exclaims Fionn before the both fall flat against two pillars on opposite sides of the corridor. The Lich steeped slowly and eerily down the hall, searching the shadows for the two familial figures. He raises his staff and sends a gust of purple energy down the hall, leaving him vulnerable and the men unscathed. Reisia smiles widely, insanely and runs to the Lich, jumping and landing with his dagger situated deep into its back. Fionn charges and swings his blade right above Reisia's head slicing the Lich as Reisia ducks. A great and final screech bellows through the catacombs and a singular pile of dust sits at Reisia's feet.

Reisia picks up the Lich's staff in which he ties to his back and the Tome he was sent for. It is bound in rotting human flesh. Reisia doesn't flip through the pages but rather tucks it into his satchel.

He falls to his knees, laughing uncontrollably, maniacally, and evilly. He triumphantly stands and beckons his Minion Fionn. They head back down the long halls and up the long staircase. There stands Cataris, who gratefully accepts the tome.

[Good read, several spelling errors such as "Raise my minions!" Probably should have been rise. Good story, who played the lich you awoken?

And do clarify if this story happens to be IC or ooc when someone responds.]

"...before the both fall flat against two pillars..." Fionn was pinned against the wall wasn't he?
