CURSE BOUND

somewhere in the outer colonies of Nadia, during the war against pralin, a unconclusive time into the past

"They have already left" a man in a robe with the hood down and various jewelry says as he surveys the area

"Only take those who are slightly damaged, missing limbs can be undone" the figure says as a convey of knight arrive to grab the slightly damaged dead bodies

"This one fought valiantly, from what I heard" the man says as he stoops down to the body of Alexander, rubbing his hair with his fingers adorned with rings of differing colors

"He will be interesting" the man says as he lifts Alexander with a strange magical ability

"This is cowardice !" A knight yells as he pushes his combrade who was lifting a body

"To use this man's foul magic to use our opponent's bodies against there people !" The knight continues as he draws his sword to attack the strange mage

"Your death will be the driving force for change on this here battle field" the knight says as he rushes at the man

"Such foolish pride" the magician says as he throws Alexander's body at the knight

"Come show me, is your resolve enough to defeat me" the man says as Alexander balances himself and slashes the knights arm

"Ugh" the knight grovels as he falls to the ground in pain

"This is the true form of magic" the man says as Alexanders body become lifeless once more

"Puppeteering, a form of magic referred to as witchcraft, a vile usage of mana" the man says as he grabs a twisting dagger and stoops to the knights level before lifting his head by his hair

"Now, is shall subject you to the same fate, a I'll make sure you never speak again out of that self righteous mouth of yours" the man says as he presses his dagger against the knights neck

"I'm sorry" the knight yells as his throat is slit, he writhes in the grass as his body slowly becomes lifeless, his blood staining the ground

"Now, we retreat to pralin and surrender the war, we have already gathered enough bodies under the guise of this war"

The man says as he cleans his dagger and leaves with Benjamin's body

"And make sure to pick up your combrade" the man's says as he laughs manically

A few days later in a dungeon in the Parlin kingdom

Crack

Crack

"Come on come on get up you piece of shit" a disgusting looking man says as he strikes the dead bodies of the knights that were from the Nasia kingdom including Alexander with a whip

"Hey you" says a stern voice behind the man.

"Thats not how you puppeteer the bodies you fool" as he says that he slashes the disgusting man's arm.

"Ahh!" The man screams as he squirms away cursing himself.

"I will deal with you later, now for you all I must awaken you from your slumber" says the mage as he begins to chant an unholy spell.

"Death and Misery, together you create a land of undead, undying and peril, AWAKEN thy subjects to my will oh god Apophis"

As the mage chants those words the dungeon becomes almost pitch black as all the light in the room is put out in unison. The room begins to light up again as all the bodies in the dungeon begin to rise one by one. As they rise they look at the mage and bow to him including Alexander.

"Oh? You seem to have alot of mana" the mage says intrigued as he lifts Alexander's head and looks deep into his eyes

"Hm" The man says, clearly intrigued by something

"You continue to exude excellent, but it seems you've reanimated one of the Claire's that noble famliy is cursed" says a man of tall statue with black hair and green eyes with snake like features.

A deathly aura of black incompasses the man as his mana surges through the entire room causing alexander and the other knights to assume a battle stance

"But I am sorry I am going to have to do this" says the man

"Huh?" Says the mage confused as a hand is driven into his torso

"You might become dangerous to me in the future" the man says as he slits the man throat with a dagger which he had concealed

The mage coughs up blood as he drops to the ground, his skin and organs slowly corroding and burning away

"Now that thats done I can now continue my plan" he says as he peers at Alexander

"I must say I am, beginning to be entertained" the man says as he smirks a little
