As Aric lay on the floor, catching his breath, the door to his workshop burst open. A group of individuals dressed in long robes and carrying ancient artifacts rushed in, led by a tall, imposing figure.
"Aric, are you alright?" the leader asked, concern etched on his face.
Aric struggled to his feet, his chest still aching from the nightmare. "I'm fine," he managed to say. "But Azazel...he's back. I managed to banish him, but it won't hold for long."
The leader, who introduced himself as Marcus, a powerful sorcerer, and leader of the Brotherhood of the Light, nodded gravely. "We know. We've been tracking his movements, and we believe he is planning something far greater than we ever imagined."
Aric's heart sank as he realized the true extent of the danger they were facing. "What can we do?" he asked.
"We must find a way to defeat him permanently," Marcus said, his voice firm. "And that's where you come in, Aric. Your knowledge of necromancy is unparalleled, and we need you to help us find a way to stop Azazel once and for all."
Aric knew that Marcus was right. He had spent years studying the arcane arts and had a deep understanding of the powers of life and death. But he also knew that it would not be an easy task.
"I'll do whatever it takes," Aric said, determination in his voice. "But we'll need more help. Azazel is too powerful for us to take on alone."
Marcus nodded, a small smile on his face. "We've already begun gathering a team of powerful individuals, all with a unique set of skills that will be crucial in our battle against Azazel. Together
, we will be able to overcome this curse and save our world."
Aric nodded, his mind already racing with possibilities. He knew that this would be a dangerous journey, but he was willing to do whatever it takes to stop Azazel and protect the innocent.
As they left the workshop and began their journey, Aric couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that the road ahead would be filled with danger and challenges, but he was determined to see it through. He would stop at nothing to defeat Azazel and save the world.
As the group journeyed on, they met many different characters with unique talents, who joined them on their quest. They all had their reasons for wanting to defeat Azazel, but all of them were united in their goal to end the curse and save the world…..
This all started 20 years ago ….
Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the heart of a dense forest, there lived a powerful necromancer by the name of Ravenna. She was feared and respected by all who knew of her, for her dark magic and ability to control the dead. But despite her fearsome reputation, Ravenna was not an evil woman. She simply sought to understand the secrets of death and the afterlife, to help those who had lost loved ones.
But one day, a young couple, Elara and Eron, came to Ravenna with a plea for help. Their newborn son had died, and they could not bear the thought of never seeing him again. Ravenna, moved by their grief, agreed to help them. She used her magic to bring the baby back to life, but in doing so, she incurred the wrath of the gods.
The gods saw Ravenna's actions as an affront to the natural order of life and death, and they placed a curse upon her. From that day forward, Ravenna would be unable to control the dead except to lay them to rest. And for each resurrection she performed, someone she loved would die.
Ravenna was horrified. She had not intended to cause harm, and the thought of losing anyone she cared for was unbearable. She tried to undo the curse, but it was too powerful. And so, she did the only thing she could: she vowed to never use her magic for resurrection again, and she isolated herself in her tower deep in the forest, away from the village and anyone she might care for.
Years passed, and the village forgot about Ravenna and her curse. But one day, a band of thieves came to the village, seeking to plunder its riches. They broke into Ravenna's tower, intent on stealing her treasure. But they found only Ravenna, old and frail, sitting alone in the dark. They mocked her and threatened to kill her, but Ravenna, in a moment of desperation, used her magic to defend herself. She raised the dead thieves as her obedient servants and sent them back to the village to warn the people of the danger.
The villagers, seeing the horror that Ravenna had unleashed, turned on her. They burned her tower to the ground and chased her into the forest, where she was never seen again. But the curse of the necromancer remained a dark shadow over the village and a reminder of the dangers of playing with the forces of death.
From that day forward, the villagers never spoke of Ravenna or her curse again. But they knew that the necromancer's curse was real and that they should never take the power of death and resurrection lightly.
But nobody knew that Ravenna was pregnant at the time she was cursed …. She unnaturally had a pregnancy… she wanted to protect the child at any cost so she went to a tower and locked herself so that she can stop using her magic spells…
Twenty years had passed since the villagers had chased Ravenna into the forest, and many had forgotten the necromancer and her curse. But one person had not forgotten: Aric, the son of Ravenna.
Aric had grown up hearing stories of his mother's power and her curse, and he had always been fascinated by the necromancer's magic. He had spent his entire life studying the ancient texts and trying to find a way to break the curse and bring his mother back.
Finally, after years of research, Aric discovered a ritual that he believed could break the curse and revive his mother. He gathered the necessary ingredients and set off into the forest, determined to bring his mother back to life.
As he walked through the dense forest, Aric could feel the weight of the curse pressing down on him. He knew that if he failed, he would lose everything he held dear. But he pushed on, driven by the memory of his mother's kind smile and the love he had for her.
Finally, he arrived at the ruins of his mother's tower. The ashes of the fire that had consumed it was still visible, and the air was thick with the scent of death. Aric hesitated for a moment, but then he set to work, performing the ritual with precision and care.
As he finished the ritual, a dark mist began to rise from the ashes of the tower. Aric could feel the power of the curse swirling around him, threatening to consume him. But he held firm, focusing on the love he had for his mother.
But as the mist cleared, Aric realized with horror that he had made a terrible mistake. The ritual he had performed had not just brought his mother back to life, it had also opened the gates of hell.
Demons and spirits of the dead poured out from the tower, wreaking havoc on the forest and the nearby village. Aric tried to stop them, but his magic was no match for the sheer power of the demons.
The villagers, seeing the horror that Aric had unleashed, turned on him. They blamed him for the destruction and chased him out of the village. Aric ran, not knowing where to go or what to do. He had wanted to bring his mother back, but instead, he had condemned his entire village to a fate worse than death.
He spent the rest of his days wandering the land, trying to make amends for his mistake. He fought against the demons and spirits that he had unleashed, trying to seal the gates of hell and restore balance to the land. But his efforts were in vain. The damage had been done, and the curse of the necromancer had claimed yet another victim.
Aric's story became a cautionary tale, a warning of the dangers of playing with the forces of death. And the villagers never forgot the necromancer's curse and the terrible price that was paid for trying to cheat death.
The village that had been plagued by demons and spirits of the dead had long since been abandoned, and the forest had grown over the ruins of Ravenna's tower.
But one day, a group of adventurers stumbled upon the village while searching for a powerful artifact said to be hidden there. The leader of the group, a powerful sorcerer by the name of Marcus, was intrigued by the legends of the necromancer's curse and decided to investigate.
As they explored the ruins of the village, they found evidence of the demonic invasion and the destruction that it had caused. But Marcus was determined to uncover the truth behind the curse and the artifact. He and his companions delved deeper into the forest, searching for any clues that would lead them to the artifact.
Finally, they found the ruins of Ravenna's tower. Marcus could sense the powerful magic emanating from the tower and knew that they were close to the artifact. But as they entered the tower, they were ambushed by a group of demons.
The adventurers fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. Just as all seemed lost, Marcus unleashed a powerful spell that banished the demons back to hell. As the dust settled, Marcus saw a glimmer of light coming from a hidden chamber deep within the tower.
He and his companions ventured deeper into the chamber and found the artifact, a powerful magical tome that held the secrets of the necromancer's curse. Marcus studied the tome and discovered that Ravenna had not been the villain that the villagers had made her out to be. She had been trying to help others and had been cursed by the gods for her actions.
With the knowledge from the time, Marcus and his companions were able to seal the gates of hell and restore peace to the land. They returned to their village, hailed as heroes for their bravery and for lifting the curse of the necromancer.
As for Marcus, he dedicated his life to studying the tome and sharing its knowledge with others, so that no one would make the same mistake as Ravenna and Aric did. He became a respected sorcerer, known for his wisdom and compassion. The two men became fast friends, and Landon invited Aric to join him on his travels. They traveled together, helping villages and towns plagued by supernatural problems and sharing their knowledge and experience.
But despite their friendship, Landon and Aric were constantly on the run from those who still blamed Aric for the curse. They were often ambushed by villagers seeking revenge, but they always managed to escape, thanks to Landon's powerful magic and Aric's knowledge of the land.
Time passes and the child was Aric who also had a curse effect on him ….. But now the situation is different .. he has to use his powers to save everyone .. without the powers he can't save anyone because as a necromancer his character is to make changes in death
