Now that your in this pose you look around realizing you can't, you haven't even tried to stand up when you realized you are not exactly entirely dugged up yet. Your lower half is still buried by the ground.
"Isn't this great..."
Even though you have made both your arms point forward from your body and your torso sit up. It seems those are the only ones who have complied to move.
"Why did this even happen in the first place?"
You looked at a further distance, you see trees but some are withered and some have barely any leaves. Typical for a graveyard, but no tombstones or any mark of a fences and roads alike. You're in the middle of somewhere.
"Well... It seems I have been murdered that's for sure, but uh something doesn't feel right..."
Even though you are in a shady place. You focus on your problems. You try to get used to your arms until you can fully control each joint. It took a while but you got there.
"Ah this feels more like it"
You then try to twist and shake your head. although it has less forms of locomotion, it still won't budged for some reason. Probably because there's a blade sticking in between your neck and the back of your skull. You casually pull out the your murder weapon and you examine it.
"Yeah it felt like years. This blade is jagged and there's traces of a substance, it's yellowish. Poisoned? But why? it's sticking behind my head. was it accidental? Also... Why am I alive?"
You never thought about it but why are you an undead? it's been like that for a long time, yet you're not mindless like the rest. Maybe you were, but because of the longevity. It took it's toll on you and eventually you became self-aware. Maybe.
"I need to dig my lower appendix out. Is a sentence that doesn't even make sense... hey! that rhymed!"
Before you can start crawling out of this pit. you saw in the corner of your eye, a light source. And then barking.
"Was that... a tamed wolf?"
You immediately bury yourself again only leaving your skull in the open for so you can see what's going to happen next. Finally you hear a voice
???-"Calm down, Astolf. I know where it is, just keep it down bud."
You-"A grave robber? no wait I'm in the middle of nowhere. Unless?"
You hear footsteps of boots thumping on the ground after this and soon the light is now on your face. There's still barking except quieter.
???-"Huh... wow, poor guy. I wonder if The Lord missed... this corpse."
You-"From poor guy to corpse, huh? Respectful"
???-"Why are you still barking? Jeez... are you hungry?"
The wolf started licking on my face.
You-"Oh god... It tickles, why?"
???-"*chuckle*Hey stop, that that's not how you treat the dead bud."
You-"Does this guy actu... HOLY I CAN'T TAKE THIS MUTT!!!"
You rattle. Whoops.
???-"what the..."
You hear something unsheathing.
You-"HOLD ON! DON'T KILL ME!"
You start flailing your arms around which probably makes it worse. You see a blade going to strike your skull. You dodge it by a slim striking near your head instead. You grabbed it quickly.
???-"Hey! let go you-"
The blade immediately moves up and down and eventually it starts to drag your body releasing you from that pit. Although your lower half is exposed you still can't stand up. You quickly pull the blade from wielder and you turn to your stomach pointing at the now weaponless... Elf?
