[color=darkred][size=1][b]Abhorsen: Hand of Destruction[/b]

[i]A cold, wet fog rolls in from the West. Its grey body crushing the blue day, obstructing view. However, this fog wasn't natural. It was magicked, spun of Free Magic and air from atop a high hilltop. In the middle of the fog stood a sorcerer. He had a bronze mask on, and his eyes were like coals. Legions of men-more acurately, what used to be men-and shadows stood in Five Hundred platoons. It was the biggest army ever amassed in the Old Kindgom.

He looked out aprovingly, his features hidden under the bronze mask. Yes, he had done well. His master would reward him. He sniffed the fowl air, smelling though the damp smell of the fog. There. It was living. His bronze mask was contorted in a cruel grin. Heavy furs covered his body, which was unsual, because it was hot out. White, tassled hair lay matted on his head. The reason? He was one of the Dead. A greater dead, to be more precise. He had been a necromancer, and a Free Magic Sorcerer. He attacked the human, killing it. He'd retrive the spirit later. Now, he must move ahead...[/i]

Lireal sat uncomfortibly on top of a stone throne, looking around, wishing the Disreputible Dog was there. She sighed. Ever since the battle with Orannis, her depression had lifted, but some still hug over her. For instance, the loss of her hand. But, as she flexed the artificial hand made by Sam, she smiled. It had been perfect. She may not say it to anyone but him, but she did love him.

Sam stepped though the marble archway, smiling. His trowel of the Wallmakers, one of the Great Charter Lines, fit him perfectly. However, the news that ran in the arch after him would wipe the smiles off of them both.

A messenger held a Charter Spelled paper in his hands, running straight for the throne. [b]"LIREAL! LIREAL! SABRIEL AND TOUCHSTON-AHHHH!"[/b] He fell, dead. A small Gore Crow looking Dead had jumped from his chest cavity, killing him. It died soon after, ending up on Sam's blade. They read the letter. Touchstone and Sabriel had died in battle wit the massive army that was marching for the castle. It was, once again, death of the Charter...[/color][/size][color=royalblue][size=1]

Ok, so this is after the last book of the Sabriel series, Abhorsen. For first timers, this is what the Charter, Free Magic, Necromancy:

Charter Magic: When the Five Great Charter stones were forged at the beggining of time, all magic was "charted", now unable to hurt the user. If baptised with the Charter Mark at birth, the child is a "Charter Mage". You have to draw symbols, use certain whistle pitches, etc to do the spells.

Free magic: Uncharted magic used only by the Abhorsen and Necromancers. They are spells of distruction, never healing. It will burn your throat, scald your hands, almost kill you if you speak these verses. Use with caution.

Necromancy: The art of bringing corpses back to life. Only used by necromancers. You must enter Death in order to bring back the Spirts of the dead.

Abhorsen: The Protector of the Living. He/She uses the Seven Bells of the Necromancer in different ways, to banish the dead.

The Seven Bells:

These are the seven bells:
Ranna, the first, the smallest bell. Ranna the sleepbringer, the sweet, low sound that brings silence in its wake.

Mosrael, the second, a harsh, rowdy bell, the waker. The bell whose sound is a seesaw, throwing the ringer further into Death as it brings the listener to Life.

Kibeth, the walker, a bell of several sounds, a difficult and contrary bell. It can give freedom of movement to one of the Dead, or walk them through the next gate.

Dyrim, a musical bell, of clear and pretty tone. Dyrim can return the voice that the Dead have so often lost, but Dyrim can also still a tongue that moves too freely.

Belgaer, another tricksome bell that seeks to ring of its own accord. The thinking bell, the bell most necromancers scorn to use. It can restore independent thought, memory, and all the patterns of a living person, or slipping in a careless hand, erase them.

Saraneth, the deepest, lowest bell. The sound of strength, the binder, the bell that shackles the Dead to the wielder's will.

Astarael, the Sorrowful. The banisher, the final bell. Properly rung, it casts everyone who hears it far into Death. Everyone including the ringer.

Name: Kilira Maxim
Age:39
Gender: Male
Appearance: Kilira is a tall man, who has to look down on other men. His soft blue eyes are deciving, they seem soft and innocent. Lies. His skin is well tanned, with random scars covering his body. The most promonent scar is the one on his forhead, which is in the shape of a large X. He is fair haired, with long, flowing, soft brown hair. He is usually dressed in his dark-iron mesh, covered in streams of thick, black leather. He dosn't tend to ware anything on his head. He has a sword haning from his belt.
Side: Necromancer
Weapons: A longsword, nicknamed "Balboah"(Bell Boh Ha). It is quite long, with a wicked curved point. Balboah has a iron hilt, wraped in red leather, with a dragon head carved into the bottom. Despite it's large size, it is made by a special Charter Magic, which makes it extremly light. The Charter Magic dosn't just make it light, it makes it dangerous. Balboah is a living sword, that is to say, it has a soul, and it can speak to Kilira, telephathicly, and it speaks in a harsh, venom filled tone.
Magic: Kilira is fluent in the art of Charter magic, primarily for defense purposes. Balboah covers his offense, so he focuses on Defenseive magics.
Acc: Kilira wares a large silver chain, a large dragon head, made of gold, hangs from it. Not much else.[/COLOR]
