Marki flinched. The sight of blood stirred something inside him. "Are you alright?" he asked, stepping over.

Rita
Rita quickly bent down and plucked the pottery piece out. She squeezed the wound to make sure that nothing was inside it. Only bright blood trickled out. Rita bit her lip in pain. "I'm okay," she said. "Just a little cut."

He quivered, smelling fresh blood. It stirred memories inside him, times long forgotten, people long lost. "Let me help," he said, taking out a large bag. "I take this with me everywhere I go, don't see why since it doesn't help me in the slightest--old habit, I suppose." He took out a roll of bandages and clear water.

Rita
Rita accepted the roll of bandages from him. "Thanks," she said gratefully and began to clean the wound.

Marki nodded, then looked around him. "Do you know what this place is?" he asked.

Rita
"I think we're in an abandoned mansion," Rita said matter-of-factly. She smiled a little. "The Mansion of Rethar, to be exact. I'm waiting for the rest of the mages to get here. We think that the Black Mages are carrying their work underneath this place. But I'm not ready to find out yet, are you?"

Marki looked at her. "No mage can hurt me. If they can control me, that's the problem," he sighed. "I don't want to be a mindless puppet again. Cervis was bad enough."

Rita
Rita looked up curiously. "Cervis?" she asked. The name was faintly familiar, but she couldn't place it. "Who was he?"

He looked at Rita straight in the eyes. "He was a necromancer--he was the one who summoned me back into this world. He made me do things, terrible deeds. I was ashamed, but I couldn't stop him until he ordered me to slay an entire village, just so he could enjoy watching them perish." He slammed his fist into the ground, making a slight crack. "I retaliated with all my will, I struck Cervis, and killed him. Then, I was free, to do as I wanted, so I set out to redeem myself, and right the wrongs I had done."

"Ohhh," Rita said, comprehension dawning on her. "Cervis." Her face darkened. "He joined the ranks of Lokran, didn't he? I didn't know he was dead."

"Well, now you know." Marki turned his back on her, deciding which corridor to walk.

"Oh, don't go," Rita exclaimed. "I'm still waiting for the other mages to get here! Hey--" Rita's eyes lit up. "You can join us!"
((Speaking of which...Loves2Read needs to get here pretty soon...))

Marki stood stock still, almost statue-like--he could have passed for a suit of armour, considering the fact that he didn't need to eat, move or breath. "Alright, I'll wait, you need protection anyways."

Rita
Rita's eyes narrowed playfully. "Need protection? I'll have you know, I've been practicing my magic!" Suddenly her shoulders slumped. "But I'm not very good..."

Marki laughed, a slow, quiet laugh, then he turned to her. "It's not your ability that worries me. young mage, it's the numbers they will come in to fight you. One can't take on the many."
