Livia frowned behind her hood. Damn! she thought, so close, slightly faster and she'd have been mine. The wraith knew better than to express her opinion on the matter. Whilst she doubted the prince carried the necessary arms to do her any harm she would prefer to not have the whole kingdom hunting her down.

Upon being asked whether the orders were acceptable she was puzzled. Asher was the prince he held seniority, as a soldier sworn to his father's service she was bound to obey. Then she remembered, unlike most people she dealt with he knew what she could do, she smiled at this behind her hood and then replied.

'Of course my prince, whatever the scions of the dark require' with that she floated away a short distance and raised her arms above her head. Baleful energy began to ensconce her finger tips and then she directed the energies towards the ground. She turned and floated back to the prince whilst behind her the earth began to shudder.

At first the vibrations were minor, then they grew stronger as though something were burrowing beneath the surface. Then the tip of a sword burst from the ground scattering mud and debris across the clearing. Gripping the sword was a skeletal hand sheathed in rusting plate armour, and as Livia returned to float before the prince the skeletal warrior pushed its way out of the dirt. It was followed by another skeletal figure a few moments later. The two figures stood silently, weapons at the ready. They were armoured from head to toe, their ancient armour caked in grime, rust, dust and mud. The warriors open faced helms revealed the decaying visages of the ancient warriors Livia had called to serve, although they were so ancient there was little left to decay. The two figures both looked to Livia their empty eye-sockets regarding the shadowy form of the wraith, who turned and with a skeletal finger set them on their way. The skeleton's eye sockets were illuminated by blue flames as they left, and likewise two pinpricks of blue flame appeared behind Livia's hood.

'The dead permeate this place my prince, and they are eager to serve. If there are any who would challenge us we shall know. Livia's voice still came as chorus of whispers as she spoke, but now she projected more authority into the sound. It didn't make the sound any more natural however, if anything it made the sound of her speech even more unsettling.'I must ask however, to what end have you decided to seize an angel from your father's sworn enemies?'

Then the angel spoke. Livia eyed the being warily, the flames that covered her eyes glowing with fresh intensity as she eyed the wounded being in front of her. 'Where you are is none of your concern child, do as you are told and no harm need befall you.' With that Livia turned her attention back to the prince awaiting his answer.

Livia shot around the forest, the fog was getting thicker as it drifted between the trees. She paid it no heed, the longing… the pain… the death nothing could blind her to it. Then a demon shot out from the fog cover, Livia would've recognised him anywhere. The prince, and in his arms… the angel! A long forgotten feeling surged within Livia, duty, purpose. She shot off after Asher, she twisted and glided through every obstacle in her path letting her longing for the angel's demise call her ever onward.

Then she started crossing terrain she recognised… the glen the plants… then she saw them. The little lamb from earlier bleeding now, she seemed to be trying to help the angel. Meanwhile the prince stood looking on, he had a sword in his hand… was it his doing then? To attack the kingdom of light and to abduct an angel, Livia's mind began turning and plotting as she entered the clearing.

She made no attempt to conceal herself this time around. She wasn't sure if the prince would remember her, she had tended to stay in the background of his father's court but still she was a presence of some repute amongst those upper echelons. 'My prince' she began, her shadowy form constituting itself into a slightly more solid shape as she curtsied low. 'May this aged warrior be of service to you?'

Livia tried to keep her eyes trained on the prince as sign of respect, but they kept darting to the wounded angel. To her dismay the longing became weaker within in her and she realised the lamb was healing the wretched creature! Anger swelled within her, she felt cheated. But she knew better than to challenge the witch especially as she seemed to have the support of the prince in her actions.

Livia spiralled and screeched at the spell as it shot towards her. The light was blinding and it threw her off for long enough that the angel and warrior figure were able to start running.

Livia re-marshalled her thoughts focusing her powers and dispelling the light spell that had stalled her. She scanned around, unable to see her quarry she let her longing guide her too them.

Her shadowy form shot across the clearing reforming as it moved. She passed through trees, rocks and other obstacles without a thought her mind focussed solely on chasing down her prey.

'Nobody can escape the restless dead mortals!' she called out after them, her voice a sinister whisper that cut through the forest like a discordant note.

@Ace of flames01 That seems more than fair, thank you, I'll do my best not to make it OP and obviously I'll leave it to your discretion as GM.

@Ace of flames01 Could she at least be able to summon up a couple of minions, I mean we've characters leading small entourages of soldiers around, I don't think it'd be that much for Livia to a few skeletons or wights here and there.

It kind of makes sense for her anyway I mean if she was stuck in head on confrontation she could fight but that doesn't strike me as the sort of thing a shadowy death spirit would do.

As Livia awaited the witch's reply she suddenly felt an immense longing rise inside her. Death, pain, loss they were swirling nearby. Livia focussed her thoughts, a child of light? Yes… yes… fallen barely able to stand…

'Good bye little lamb' came the sinister whisper as Livia prepared to leave. She reconstituted herself a horrific shadow creature forming before the witches eyes. With macabre glee she let out a shriek that resonated of death and anguish and shot forward, flying through the witch and onwards towards the swirling vortices of death that tugged at her mind.

Livia travelled fast, her shadowy figure flitting between trees and shrubs at incredible speed. Whilst she couldn't fly she could move just as fast as any flying beast and that was when she came upon them.

The clearing was small and one of the figures was clearly wounded, the other seemed to Livia to be unhurt. Clearly this was a person of import then, a cold and malicious smile formed behind her hood.

'What have we here? she inquired, 'A lost bird and her keeper perhaps?'

That was when Livia noted the clothes worn by the uninjured figure. Clearly a warrior of some sort, young by her standards, they'd be just another fool to serve her in death. Livia extended her right arm, her outwardly skeletal appendage seemed to bleed shadows into the air as it slipped out of her shifting robes. The long black bones that served in place of fingers began to curl as Livia's wraith blade began to form. She liked the feeling of the long blade in her grip, it was one of the few things she could touch these days, and whilst it served as a sad reminder of what she had once been, it was also a symbol of what she hoped to become.

'Stand aside mortal' pronounced Livia her voice a shifting chorus of whispers that seemed to permeate the clearing. She raised her other arm, equally skeletal a single finger extended pointing to the wounded angel before her. 'She is coming with me.'

@Ace of flames01 Well I was wondering if Livia could start of with some simple necromancy. Weak things like resurrecting a few skeletons to fight for her if push comes to shove. Then maybe as she progresses she can try and enact a ritual to make her necromancy more powerful? Maybe some of the Children of Light catch wind of things and try and stop her?
