Prologue

I awoke in cold-sweat. I had dreams of my lips being sewn shut as I was tied to a bed. The man sewing my lips together wore dark clothing and had pale skin with fangs and red eyes. I was in the Arcane University, it was twice the size of the Ruined City of Chorrol. Into the Mage-Quarters came a Dunmer with graying hair and light skin. "Are you okay?" the Magus asked. "Arch-Magister Tyrinth asked me to check up on you, Evangeline."

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, "Yes, I'm fine Master Mythaniel." I put on my cerulean-colored robes and pulled up my hood. The moon still dominated the sky. Thousands of silvery lights dominated the blackness of night.

The Master Mythaniel was gone. I heard a voice in the back of my skull. "They truly are ignorant," it whispered. "Of your true power, aren't they? Of your true potential in the arts they consider 'foul'."

"Of course they are," I whispered in response. "But the University has so much to offer me."

The voice was that of a dear friend I met five years ago. He was a Dark Elf that wore a full suit of black and red daedric armor and carried an enchanted ebony longsword. "Meet me in the School of Mysticism within the hour," the voice called.

"Yes, of course," I responded. "What do you want anyway, Zalphon?"

"You'll see," Zalphon stalled. "You shall see..."

I obediently headed to the School of Mysticism. It was the size of a Guild-Hall, however when you entered it increased in size ten-fold. Soul-Gems were in display cases across the room, teleportation pads were in the Portal Room, and mages with glazed-over eyes wandered. They didn't really notice us, they were in Dreamsleeve observing.

Out of thin air appeared Zalphon. He bowed deeply. "I think it is time that we head to the Keep of Shadow's Soul in the Black Marsh. It is a school of necromancers, I think you'd fit right in."

"Are you sure?" I asked. "I'm merely an apprentice of the arcane."

"The Keep of Shadow's Soul is a school for those that are worthy," He explained. "If you manage to survive the 'Rites of Passage' and become a full-student, you'll be worthy. However, in the Keep of Shadow's Soul, you must always watch your back. The other students and associates would gladly kill their fellow necromancers to use them to study."

"I am ready."

"I knew you'd say that."

An orb of black-light surrounded us and we were teleported. My dreams of becoming a necromancer would finally come to pass. Finally, I would have the power that was rightfully mine. And I could finally bring back my mother...

Chapter One: The Keep of Shadow's Soul

I appeared in a black-stone room. It was a cubic-room with four doors. A red skull was painted in the middle of the floor with blood. Four students were in a circle around it. Obediently, I went over and kneeled like the others. Zalphon walked to the circle and hissed, "You are the potential students. You must earn my favor through tasks that are what symbolize the Order of the Ebon Rose. Follow the Code of Honor and you will be worthy, if you survive..."

"Lord Zalphon," One Student called out. "What must I do to earn your favor."

The Daedric-Clad Lich turned into a blur. The student was beheaded and Zalphon asked, "Would anyone else like to speak to me by my name again. Maggots, I am called Master Broodikus, is that clear?"

We all nodded, fearing the ebon longsword he held. Legend said that the sword was enchanted with the soul of a treacherous lich. "You each know where your quarters are?" He asked. "If you don't then the floors are quite nice."

I sighed and opened one of the doors. It led to a long, black hallway. I heard screams of anguish and shrieks of terror. Behind me walked one of the other potential students. He slammed me against the wall and whispered, "Listen little girl, I will win the challenge, am I clear?"

A black throwing knife appeared in the side of his skull. I looked at my savior, for the quick glimpse I saw, it was an argonian in black-leather armor. He was gone as fast as he came. Zalphon noticed me holding the corpse. "I see, you were too weak to perform the kill yourself," he barked. "Head to the detention center for punishment."

"Where is that?" I asked.

Black flame surrounded me and I was in a dark, dome-shaped room. Cages lined the walls, stretching racks, thumbscrews, pain-pears, were on tables. There were several spiked chairs and crushing boots strewn about the room as well. There were other torture devices as well, such as lead-sprinklers and tongue-rippers. I even saw breast-rippers and iron-maidens. This wasn’t a detention room, it was worse. “Ah, the newest recruit,” the Torturer laughed. “Take a seat.”

Obediently, in fear Zalphon’d kill me I did. He slammed my ankles and wrists into the chair’s spikes and then locked them. I could see my blood start to drip, the agony was intense, but I didn’t complain. It’d only be worse.

The Torturer grabbed a pain-pear and smiled with delight. Sadist. He put it into my mouth and said if I moved an inch, he’d not only dislocate my mandible, but have it completely torn off by the pain pear. He melted boiled some water and put it in the lead-sprinkler and used it on me. Blackness filled my vision due to the intense agony of the spikes, the metal taste of the pain-pear and the heat of the boiling water on my skin. I was dead or worse…
