Vampirism & Necromancy by Spear

I guess I started an interest in the art of necromancy back about a year and a half ago when my wife Dragain died. I just wanted her back so much that I had given up faith and was about to jump into the ocean from a cliff. All of a sudden I heard these noises almost whispers, I had then gotten scared.

So I ran from the cliff out into a forest, I didn't know where I was running, all I knew was I was getting away from the whispers. My legs finally got tired so I found a log to rest on and have a cigarette. While I was enjoying my smoke a person walked up to me (by this time it had gotten darker) When the person came closer I realized it was an old man. The man was dressed in an all black robe with black sandals and the robe had a hood on it that hung over the old man's face just enough to cover his eyes from light.

He then walked over to me and sat down next to me. He then began to speak. From what I can remember the man said "Young soul... you have strayed from the path of virtue, I can see it in your heart, You no longer care what happens....... I know.... " I took offence to that right away but before I made an action. I thought, and I realized he was right. Dragain was the only thing keeping me from the dark side.

So I then told the man without thinking of what I would say "You didn't just come here to talk did you, old man". the old man then went on about how necromancy could bring her back to life. I then asked the old man if he would teach me the art of necromancy. The old man said ok and I began my training, We went through what each different thing was for necromancy (i.e. Bones, Blackmoor, Blood, Bat Wings). A few months went by and I had progressed very well. I was soon getting ready do my first ritual, to bring Dragain back to life.

The old man said to me that he would not be around much longer. I did not know why, he looked to be in perfect health. He then told me to perform a task, I had to bring some Blackmoor, Bones and a Vial of Blood back to him. I went to go get those items from various different dungeons and caves.

About 3 days later I returned with the items requested, and all that was there was a note saying "Combine those reagents in the bowl I have left for you then drink it and all of your questions will be answered" So I did so thinking the potion would give me the power to resurrect my lost wife. I ground up the bones with 2 rocks, and the Blackmoor crumbled in my hand i combined the bones with the blackmoor first then I added the blood, for some reason the potion turned jet black. I did not care what it would do, all I knew was I wanted my Dragain back. I then drank the potion all back in 4 big gulps, it was the most foulest, most raunchy tasting drink I had ever tasted. I felt nothing at first, Then my mouth started to hurt, almost like I had 2 cavities. Then it struck my whole body...

I immediately colapsed on the ground just waiting for the pain to go away. Everything then went black. ........ ....... ..... ... ... .. . . . . "Wake up!" ...... " Wake up Spear, Wake up" "Huh?" I then regained conciousnous and I saw the image of a female, was it..... ? I then wiped my eyes clean of sleep and I was able to make out a face, it wasn't who I thought it was, it was only a middle aged woman.... all of a sudden, I dont know why I did this, but I bit her fore-arm and I then realized I not only had fangs, but I had a thirst for blood. What did that old man do to me?! I was now one of the vampiric creatures that I had once sought to kill.

I ended the womans mysery by breaking her neck. I learned to grow with my new hunger and with hightened senses of sight at night, smell, but my favorite one is the hightened strength. After a while of killings to feed my hunger a town called Britain formed a search party for these missing persons. Instead, they found me. I was banished from town life, and thrown into the wilderness once again where I lived off of cows, hinds and such. I then found a person named Smogg, Who respected who and what I was, and gave me shelter, and even gave me a role in his cult as a guard. many months passed, and here I am now writing this story. Yes I still have now found a way to reverse this. So I could live out a normal life. Until then I keep trying.
