Necromancer knight Chapter 5: secrets unleashed Gurk lay siting up in his wooden chair in Treths and his cabin looking shocked. " so tell me how did we escape the nagas? How did you save me and how your armor got damaged so!" He asked. Looking at the arm piece missing from the left side of his armor which is supposed to be indestructible. He sat there staring at Treth waiting for a answer. " alright time to let my secret out. It's just this has gone very fast. Ok here it goes...." Treth then told the whole story starting from his hunting trip to the book all the way to we're they were now. " and that's how I saved us, I used black magics." Treth said. Gurk just shuddered and calmed himself. " I trust you Treth and all you've ever done. And if you say you are gonna use this darkness for not evil I will stand by you. Now may I see this power?" He asked. " dark arts arm defiler." Treth said changing his arm into its demonic form. Gurk jumped almost out of his skin! " by the hammer of thunder that's outstanding!" He said astonished at the sight. " see my armor was getting in the way of this so dark forced melted away the armor sleeve." Treth said . " serge Mae. " he whispered changing his arm back to normal. " so this book gave you this power and we were transporting one? Which you used to gain better power to save us. " he asked. Treth just nodded. " what all can you do? " " well I can shoot fireballs, summon demonic weaponry and various other powers. " Treth said. " show me show me!" Gurk pleaded. " alright slow down!" Treth breathed in deeply." Dark arts arm defiler." He whispered. Showing of his arm to Gurk again on,y this time Mareyea appeared in demonic form next to Gurk who jumped and drew arms at her sight. " easy she's a friend. My guardian as well. " Treth said lowering his friends weapon. Allowing him to get a good view of her more femine form. " well aren't we a pretty ugh women? Yes women a pretty women." Gurk said trying to flatter her. " why thank you, you hunk of dwarf meat." She said fake blushing. " are you really hitting on a demon?" Treth asked. Gurk just blocked him out As he went in for a huge. She obliged and winked at Treth. " serge Mae." Treth muttered laughing as Mareyea turned back to her old Hag for with Gurk nestled on her chest. " well Gurk what do you think of me? " she asked in her old cracked voice. He looked up into her cycloptic old hag face and screamed. Sending her and Treth into a laughing frenzy. He backed away crossed his arms and snorted angrily. " aw come on Gurk it was funny wasn't it?" Treth asked in his best old hag voice. " yes. I suppose it was." Gurk said grinning. Then there was a awkward silence. It went on for a minute or so before Mareyea broke it. " so Treth summon me when you have need I'm gona go." She said. " wait where are you off to?" Treth asked. " ow just back to the hell I came from ." She said before combusting.

Necromancer Knight Chapter 4: things start moving fast She slithered into her thrown chair she was the only naga that was pretty much all snake. Others had Half human half snake. She had a long thick tail diamond marks crawled up her back along her spine. Her head and neck were python like. She had a crown that was Mayan in design yet hinted at more Aztec like culture. Her scales were light grey her under belly was even lighter grey almost white, her eyes were green regular snake slit eyes. She wore war paint to make her beastly beauty stand out. Her armor was only breast plates with a arm piece that ran down to her elbow. She was also giant, able to swallow them like they were nothing. " so you are the mighty Treth slayer of Thratos. Welcome,welcome welcome!!!! So what brings you....." She stopped talking as soon as she gazed upon the book in Treths arms. She lowered her head and angrily showed off her large teeth. " open the damned book!" Screamed Mareyea. Then Sheela snatched up Gurk I'm her tail and all other nagas showed there selfs. Sheela just stood there Gurk clutched in her tail and being squeezed to death. " do you even realize what you have little man!?" Sheela asked. " it's the god of dark arts book! That there has within it content that could wipe out all of existence and stink the reader deep into necromancy!" She bellowed. " I now of what it is !" Treth said reluctantly summoning Mareyea to his side. " dark arts arm defiler!" He screamed. The darkness melted away the armor covering his arm and morphed his arm into darkness. Mareyea appeared at his side already in demoniac form and she looked angry. " you !? What happened hero you dipped into dark magics all because of this little witch!" Sheela said. " give me my friend back and this doesn't have to get messy." Treth said calmly. She then crushed Gurk unconscious. Treth then summoned his demonic mace and fire ball spell. " you idiot your playing with power no one can withstand not even the ancients!" Sheela said. He just lobed a fire ball near her. " let him go!" Treth bellowed. Then one after another nagas leapt for his throat. He batted them away with his mace yet they kept coming. Soon they covered him and pined him to the ground along with Mareyea who had not gone without a fight. " open the book now you idiot! If you don't we will die!" Mareyea screamed. The book was inches from his hand but he was pined. He reached as best he could. " bring me the book!" Barked Sheela. The minion on his arm closest to the book nodded and got off to get the book. When he got off it gave Treth enough leverage to stretch enough to knock open the book to his touch. The black mist burst out and filled Treths lungs. Giving him greater power and with it he just through the nagas off like they were nothing. He then begun to hover. Then script cut into the air creating elements. One water one rock the last lightning. " Treth they symbolize elementals they are high class summoned creatures! You may only pick one as like me they bind to you." Mareyea said. He grazed his hand over the lightning and rock by accident. The earth shuck and cracked. Lightning brewed up. Treth then turned towards Sheela his eyes had become red and enflamed. He then grew a fireball in his left hand to the size of a boulder and through it at the horde of nagas. Ahhhhh Sheela screamed. " you little pest you dare try to harm my people!" Sheela bellowed. Then in a blink of a eye Treth was in her face fireball in her eye and mace above her face. " now please allow me and my friend to leave peacefully. I don't want anymore trouble or bloodshed." Treth pleaded. Sheela just bowed her head and put Gurk on the dirt. He lowered himself to Gurks side. " just leave get out foul necromancer! Leave now!!" Sheela yelled at the top other lungs. " serge Mae." Treth said returning him to normal. He slung Gurk over his shoulder and begun the long walk home. Knowing he would have to explain to Gurk the situation. " take hithis is a kindness I allow you to leave don't take it for granted." She said. He lowered himself

Necromancer Knight Chapter 3: nagas woods " Treth where'd the creepy old hag go wasn't she following us? " asked Gurk. Treth turned around to see Gurk was telling the truth Mareyea had gone. " Treth I'm still here just...... Hiding in plain sight. I'm hovering above your head as a bee." Mareyea whispered. He just grinned and walked forward in his armor give to him by all the kingdoms. Black as Thratos' s scales and hard as diamond this armor saved him many times over. It bared his symbol of the arrow hearts and branches. The scales were smoothed out to look more metallic and man made. " so how long till we reach the forests edge Gurk?" Treth said. Gurk pulled out the map and examined it. " we have arrived look!" He exclaimed pointing a small finger to the huge wooden archway. It was carved into two snakes curling around each other to the center were each held real skulls in between there jaws. As soon as they stepped through the archway the dirt turned dark the sky and air became fogged. " we'll they sure now how to make people feel welcome." Treth said. Looking down he noticed snakes of all sorts slithering by. Gurk who's lower to the ground just jumped and fumbled trying not to touch the nasty things. " god damned she beasts and there trickery! " Gurk shouted. Treth just laughed at his mad little friend. Then a load feline shout echoed through the woods right to them shaking the branches and leafs. " what in the world was that! " Treth asked stunned. He looked back at Gurk. he was just as shocked as himself. " it's the nagas queen, Sheela she knows of all who enter he domaine. But she usually welcomes visitors especially.. Men. " whispered Mareyea into Treths ear. " ow well let's continue we have a job to do. Come Gurk just ignore it." Treth said motioning to keep moving. They walked in silence for a time longer every once in a wile looking over there shoulder to check on a mysterious figure following them. " it's a male naga roughly nine feet, thin probably starving. And he has a cut above his right eye." Treth said. " how do you know that?" Asked Gurk. " because he's right next to you! " Treth yelled at Gurk. They both ducked as the naga leapt overhead. " to arms!" Gurk yelled and he and Treth both pulled out there weapons. Gurk had a double bladed axe roughly the size of his body. Treth was sporting his steel mace. As they drew there weapons more nagas came out. Lots surrounding them. They went back to back . " put down your weapons! Our queen would like a word with you!" A female naga said shoving a spear in Treths face. " then why did you stalk us and pounce on us!?" Gurk asked. The nagas just looked at each other then back at the two intruders. Then one walked up a small female naga probably six years of age. " please mister come quietly my mama just wants to chat about what your..... Carrying." The little naga said in a sweet voice. Both of them just lowered there weapons. As soon as they did there weapons were taken. Gurk tried taking his back but got instead a face full of snake spit as one hissed in his face. " sorry no weapons near our queen, we have to keep all possible threats at bay. " a male naga said. Then they all started to slither away. The little girl naga gestured to follow them. " after you my good friend." Gurk said. Treth just sighed and begun following the horde of nagas. They started to turn tail and walk strait into the dense fog. Then they dispersed. " Treth they are tricking you leading you into a trap." Mareyea whispered. Dead silence and no nagas. They both took up fists as they were unarmed. "Why don't you use your magic you could just walk by them without needing to worry about anything!" Mareyea whispered loudly. " because I don't want to divulge my power to Gurk yet!" Treth angrily whispered. " Treth who you talking to ?" Gurk turned and asked. " ow uh...... Just uttering a ugh... Prayer." Treth lied. " since when do you pray?" Gurk asked. Treth was just about to reply when they came upon a great thrown. It was Sheela's thrown but she was gone. In fact every one or thing was gone. " Treth look at the pack! " Gurk yelled. Treth turned and say a freighting sight. The pack was seeping black mist. Just like the book that first summoned Mareyea. " give me the package!, Treth ordered. Without hesitation he tossed it to Treth. He opened it to his horror it was just like the book he found. It even had the same skeleton hand on the cover. Then right before he opened it they herd a mighty hissing and out came Sheela the naga queen.

Necromancer Knight Chapter 2: Gurks suggestion " Treth breath in and say Serge Mae ." Mareyea said. Then Treth repeated those words. His arm went back to normal no darkness no spikes. Yet he still had his strength. " how? " he asked still astonished. Meanwhile Mareyea was changing back to her old hag form. " it's called necromancy arm. You will gain might strength in that arm but will never be able to pick up regular weaponry with it." She said. " what do you mean by not being able to pick up regular weaponry? And what's considered normal?" Treth asked. " it's only able to pick up magical weapons or summoned weapons. Along with being able to cast magic." Mareyea said. " wait i don't use magic I have the highest respect for the mages and healers but I am not one." Treth exclaimed. Mareyea sighed and summoned a ball of fire in her hands. When she casted it at a nearby tree it burned to ash in less then ten seconds! " Treth, dark arts arm defiler or for short say dark Arm. Say it!!" She bellowed. Treth wasted no time. " dark Arm." Treth said. Then his arm turned dark spike grew and then Mareyea turned back into her lovely demonic form. " now picture a fire in your left hand and a summoned weapon in the other." Mareyea said. Treth thought of fire burning just above his left palm and a mace in his right. He opened his eyes to see a little flame ball hovering just above his left palm. The mace was slightly more demonic looking then he anticipated. " alright I have to go back Gurk will get worried and I don't want to explain this to him just yet. I can explain a little hag following me but not this arm." Treth said. " serge Mae." Turning his arm back to normal and Mareyea went back to her hag form. Then they began the journey back home. They got back just at the peak of dusk. " Treth what a lovely ...um homestead." Mareyea said sarcastically. " hay can you hover so that your robe hits the ground . Or even walk would be better then floating." Treth said. " ok but before we set foot I your property i need to tell you something. You can only use so much dark magic per day since your body hasn't adapted to its darkness yet. If you overdose you will black out!" She said. " oh thanks for the information a little earlier would have been better." He said nicely. " ya sorry you probably used about half your dosage. But each day you'll increase your amount of dark magic you can sustain." Mareyea said hovering lower to the ground. Then Treth strutted up to the door and waked inside. " stay out here for now ." Treth whispered to Mareyea. He then walked inside and called Gurks name. Nothing he got a creeping feeling that something was off. " Gurk Gurk! " Treth said. Still nothing mabe he just wasn't home yet. Slam! The front door swung open. " Treth some old lady's at the door and I've brought home a deed!" Gurk exclaimed. " um ya she's a shaman from the troll tried to the east. So what's the deed for? " Treth asked. " a quest deed, someone wants a book transported through the nagas woods." Gurk said. " alright let me rest we just got back me from hunting and... From whatever you did. We will set out at first light friend." Treth said patting his friend on his shoulder. He then walked to his bed and feel asleep.

Necromancher Knight Chapter 1: demonic guardian Treth ran down the hill deep in the forest of guardival he was tracking a massive deer rumored to be able to feed a village for a year. Getting permission from the eleven council to hunt this beautiful animal he continued his hunting. He had slain goblins, war beasts undead and various other creatures and yet this deer has given him the most trouble. He recently gained enough strength in his left arm to pull back his arrow for hunting. He used his right arm now for swinging his massive dwarven steel mace. After three hours he laid eyes upon the deer it wasn't huge or big but regular size but radiated a golden aura. It was the deer he was hunting. He pulled out a single arrow dipped in a sleeping potion. It has no effect on man dwarf or any other race it only effects beasts of the wild. He pulled back his bow let out a breath and let his arrow fly. It stuck the deer in the rump and it stiffed up and feel dead straight away. Confused Treth ran up to the deer it was breathing heavily near death then it's veins turned black and snaked there way all over its body. Then nothing it stopped all together. Thick black liquid pored out of its mouth. Treth reached in and touched its fur and as soon as it did the deers stomach lurched up and his ribs burst open wide reviling a book rigged and grey with a skeletal had on the cover. Astonished he picked it up. It was duty and covered in cob webs. He put in inside his pack he then proceeded to wipe off his fur clothing that were covered in blood and dust. He then began his hike back to his cabin. Before he took ten steps he began hearing whispers. Shaking it off he continued homeward. Again and again he herd " open the book" and " let me out" all in a sweet eery female voice. Finally at the halfway mark he sat down pulled out the book and stared at it. Debating to open it or not. " please daddy open the book." That was his daughters voice! He opened the book without any further thought. Symbols leaked out black mist engulfed where he was sitting. Then quiet only his breathing was able to be heard. He sighed " it was nothing stupid book!" Treth said as he kicked the pages. " your a brutish one is ow well beggars can't be choosers." An old cracked voice said. Turning Round Treth came face to face with very short old lady she wore a green robe that dropped down past her legs. She had long grey hair a hunched back and only one big eye in the center of her face! " what are you?" Treth stammered. " I am Mareyea I'm your guardian as you pass through the #life of a necromancher." She said softly. " me never! I am a warrior and don't affiliate myself with dark magics!" Treth said. Mareyea just sighed. " is this how you act after the dark magics were the force that saved you! Did you really think you a mere farmer that could hunt took down Thratos on your own? No good sir I helped you I saved you it was dark magic that freed you from his gullet!" She barked. " you....? Why did you..." He stammered. " all in good time for now let me show you something I think you'll like." She snickered. Then she clawed the dirt to form symbols I've never seen before. " they read. Dark arts arm defiler. Repeat these words." She said. " dark arts arm defiler" Treth said. Then Mareyea took his left arm and put his hand into the dirt. It burned to the touch but she forced his hand harder then Treth thought posible. When she let go Treth felt his arm he could move it fully! But he noticed a darkness engulfing his hand from the fingertips. The darkness worked its way up his arm as it did it left runes on his arm and horns and spikes popped up along his elbow and hand. It melted away his fur arm cloth. He looked back up at Mareyea. She begun to grow he feet hit the ground and morphed into goat feet he legs became sater like at the waist she was normal thin and beutiful she looked like a human girl. Except she had horns on her head. Then flames striped across her body covering her privates her skin became White. She had a short tail that wiped about. She brown hair was up kept and partially set ablaze. " what are you? " Treth asked. " I am your demonic guardian as I told you before you are now a necromancher. Deal with it!" She bellowed. Treth just sat there deep in thought.
