This is the graveyard dedicated to everyone who died during the rebellion and to the creatures who were killed during experiments. The graveyard is not a safe place to be, so be careful and respectful. It is the only graveyard that is safe from light and it's always foggy here. Wait.... what's that hand on your shoulder?

Zander sighed, looking around at the scenery. It had been so long since he last visited this graveyard. In fact, the last time he came here was when he helped bury the deceased after the rebellion. Sighing, the man turned and looked around the area. He could feel the chills of the spirits and the loitering souls' whispers in his ear begging to be set free, but sadly only a reaper or an undertaker would be able to pass their souls on.
The man found a specific grave he'd been looking for and sat down in front of it. "Shanoa Maria Donovan" was what the tombstone read. It was one of the nicer graves here with intricate designs. Zander hand crafted it from stone just for his wife. Yes, he lost her before the rebellion, but not many people have heard the story. Zander removed a white rose with small droplets of his blood on it for his wife who had been turned into a vampire by Drakkar to try and save her life, but it didn't help her at all. He only smiled.
"I'm glad I came to visit you. Sorry it took so long."

I cant afford Weakness
and have no time for Regret The Bloodstained Melody Izzy Moon The One That Never Dies I can only get Stronger..
And Damn all the rest  Izzy trudged through the cemetery, glancing among the graves. She sang to the deceased, a habit formed from years of doing the same with her best friend. She sang the song she had been humming earlier. Her voice was soothing and sweet, quite the opposite of what sounded when she spoke. "oh danny boy..the pipes the pipes are calling. from glenn to glenn and down the mountain side." Her irish accent was thick and echoed through the area. Izzy hoped that her song would soothe the spirits the way Willow promised it did. "the summer's gone and all the roses falling. its you its you must go and i must bide..." Izzy grew up with the song. Her mother sang it to her, her brother as well, and when her son was born..Izzy sang it to him too, then her new born daughter two years later.
She longed for them to hear her, all of them. Her children, her brother and deceased parents, her friends. Izzy wanted them to hear her song, just so they knew that she could carry that tune. That she woud carry on. "but come ye back when summer's in the meadow, or when the valley's hushed and white with snow. and ill be here, in sunshine or in shadow..oh danny boy, oh danny boy i love you so..."
Izzy passed the man, Zander, as she reached the end of her song, but payed him no mind. her eyes were closed and she was lost in the words. "And i shall hear, though soft you tread above me. and all my grave will warmer, sweeter be. for you will bend and tell me that you love me. and I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.."

Zander could hear a voice singing in the distance. His ears picked it up and he could hear it almost clearly, but he didn't know if his wife liked the song or not. Zander reached out and gently touched the stone in front of him with a hand, smiling once more.
"I love you too, Shanoa. You can rest now, but don't worry... I'll find someone who can finally bring you to your eternal peace."
He stood up, leaving the bloodied rose in its place, and bowed to the grave. When the song grew closer for him to hear the song more clearly, he hummed along to her words to himself. Once she came to the end, he turned and faced Izzy, his lips fixed into an almost sad smile.
"That song is beautiful, just like your voice."

And Damn all the rest Izzy turned to face the male "thanks...singing to dead people..kinda what i do" She looked around at the graves avoiding eye contact with Zander. How long had he been there? Izzy thought she left him back in the hallway. The woman was still just a tiny bit embarrassed from his cuddling her earlier. Now she was singing in front of him?

Zander looked up at the sky, the clouds were always dark over this cemetery just like there was always a somewhat thick fog. The man could do nothing but smile, his eye fixed on the clouds.
"It's aright. I'm sure my wife enjoyed it too. Not many people come here to either visit or try to comfort the lingering souls here. Thank you."
Zander closed his eye and lifted a hand to cover over the eyepatch as if remembering the day he lost his eye. It was the same day his wife died, but that was a whole other story.

And Damn all the rest Izzy shrugged and smiled. "my friend Willow started me on it, you have her to thank. I never would've thought about such a thing if she hadnt told me of the pain the spirits felt...how lonely they got. She said they just need a good lullaby."

"Well, your friend was right. The dead need a nice song or two to calm them down. Unfortunately, these spirits haven't had a chance to move on and eternally rest. They're all trapped here until one of the reapers or undertakers finds their way here."
The man shifted his weight to one leg and looked back at Izzy. He took in the beauty of her face, skin, hair... she reminded him of his wife. They looked similar, except his wife had black hair. He could only laugh at his own thought.
"So, tell me. What made you come here?"

And Damn all the rest Izzy looked around. "its that time again. like i said..every two weeks...i was hoping Willow would be here, but lately she's on this kick about freeing the spirits within the building and bringing them to peace or whatnot..." Izzy thought about her friend for a moment. Willow would like this guy, she believed.

Zander nodded as if understanding the woman.
"I wish she would come and help these poor souls move on. My wife can't rest peacefully because the others haven't been put to rest properly."
Zander turned and faced the trail he had walked to get here, then looked around at the woods surrounding them.

And Damn all the rest "if you find her, she'll help you. I know it! Nothing could ever keep Willow from a person in need." Izzy laughed and shook her head. "She's uh..tall, really tall with super long hair black hair. and like..goth as ********! all she wears are those long black dresses, i dont see how she doesnt trip everytime she moves. She wears a cape when she's outside and uh OH! i light purple little ribbon thing in her hair." Izzy motioned to her head, gesturing the bow and attire of her friend.

Zander laughed with with Izzy and then had this smile on his face. Watching the woman explain things was funny and amusing to him.
"At least you gave me something to work with when it comes to identifying people. Thank you. I'll look for her sometime."
The man nodded and reached up to play with his own hair, trying to keep it from getting tangled. There was a gentle breeze and then, a soft whisper in his head that made him almost jump.
"Gah... not used to this yet."

And Damn all the rest Izzy raised an eyebrow, had she missed something? "Not used to what yet?" She asked, maybe he just meant to keep that bit in his head. The woman often spoke her thoughts, accidentally.

Zander scratched the back of his head and just grinned, trying to think of a way to say what he wanted to without it sounding ridiculously crazy.
"I always hear voices in my head or whispering in my ear, that's all."

And Damn all the rest Izzy nodded, "well im glad im not the only one...eh..my ex..were telepaths so were kinda connected at the mind and he likes to just pop in at random times, stupid wanker." The woman laughed, awkwardly. She was almost sure that his voices werent some nagging controlling psychopath.
