The Necromancer's Wife (Remastered)
Prologue
In the beginning there was the void; vast untainted darkness; a vacuum of nothingness. Suddenly, a light broke through the blackness, and a great Goddess came into the abyss. Surrounded by the virgin expanse of space, she closed her eyes and a vision came to her. A vision of life and death, of light and shadow. Then, in a spiraling dance, She Who Is Known By Many Names, gave birth to the Universe.
Stars and planets came into being, sparkling sentinels that witnessed the creation of life. Dancing wildly, the Goddess had another vision. She would create a world full of life and beauty.
Her dance brought the planet into existence and She named it Etansel, which in Her tongue meant “Beloved Illusion”. The Goddess then set forth mankind. These beings would be Her sons and daughters. They would follow Her ways and uphold Her teachings. She would love and guide them; guard and protect them.
The Goddess then gave life to the Elements; spirits imbued with Her infinite power and wisdom. “Salamanders,” She said. “You shall rule over the deserts and fire. You will warm and instill passion into those who seek you. But know this, you can still harm; and many shall be burned by you if they misuse your power.”
“Gnomes, great guardians of the earth. Your power shall lie in the green of the world; in plants and trees. You shall be the one to provide sustenance to My children. Your domain is in the forests and valleys. But you too, can also be destructive; you can take back the green as easily as you can give.”
“Sylphs,” The Goddess continued. “Bringers of wind, spirits of the air. You shall bring the cool breezes and reign in the highest mountains. You will be the song that blows through Gnome’s trees and the icy stab of death to those who anger you.”
“Undines, rulers of water and rain. No life can exist without you. You give life to Gnome and death to Salamander. You cleanse and purify, but can also drown and wash away. Your palace will be the sea and ruler over all creatures that live in your depths.”
The Goddess then gave life to two more spirits; Light and Shadow. These sentinels would govern the Sun and Moon; the Heavenly Satellites of Etansel. “Rem and Shade,” The Goddess said. “You are the absolutes. All other elements s swear allegiance to you. You shall illuminate and you shall darken. You are the ruler of day, and bringer of night. You are birth, death, and rebirth; all that is holy and impure, creation and destruction.”
With Etansel now formed; The Goddess cried with joy. But a single, bloody tear fell from her eye; and landed upon the world. It was at that moment, the first cry of a newborn infant pierced the expanse of the Universe. “I have created a leader for you, My children.” The Goddess proclaimed. “A great and powerful Summoner from My own blood and tears. She will be My voice on Etansel. Follow her and make her your Queen. She will show you how to love Me; to worship Me. She shall give you the power to call forth the elements, the Gods, the Guardians and command them at will. Listen to her; for through her you will come to know Me.”
“And I name her. . . Morgana LeFey.”
