The storms have raged for days on end, the undeaday with their soggy yet magically strengthened flesh have been out in force. So far we had been lucky... we have had few casualties to the undead horde, and everyone, while sometimes scared, has had hope to get through this and potentially beat the undead apocalypse. So it is no wonder that the young and naive spellcaster, puffed up by his recent exploits and considered by many to be a talented magician, had gotten arrogant... Walking around at night is dangerous... incredibly so if you cant gauge the time by the nights sky.
On one cold, windy, and black night, the stars would seem to have aligned just right... the rain had abated for a time and the sky was crystal clear and beautiful... serene in its clarity from the washing it received by the days and days of rain. The young magician went on what should have been a routine food run... he knew the route, he had spells to walk unseen... but the stars were aligned... on his return trip, he stepped too close to a half-orc deader, unbeknownst to him his spells had worn off in the midst of dark hour surrounded by a horde of the undead... He quickly realized his error when the ham fist clubbed him down on the back of his head. The undead would feast well this night....
Welcome to Siranda, where your every mistake can cost you your life....

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ That same night, Xunae lay awake in her cave. Twisting the ring of kinship around her finger. Her mind wandering through those of her friends. She felt Vega, always so angry. It comforted her, gave her a bit of calm. She felt Jach, always pondering his magics, and how to improve them. Xun sighed softly, letting her two closest friends wash away the worries that clouded her own mind.
Then the stars aligned. Just as Xun began to sink away from the world, and calm washed over her. She felt it. A sudden fear rushing through Jach, a fear that turned quickly into agony, and desperation. The druid pulled her boots on, leaving everything but her sword and shield behind. Adrenaline rushing through her as she flew up the rope. 'Please. Don't do this to me. Not now.'
She felt his mind slipping from hers as she ran as hard and as fast as she could through the dark glade. Branches and twigs like whips against her skin- but she didn't seem to notice. The undead tried their best to grab a hold of her, but she was too quick. 'Hold on just a little longer, Jach. Just a little longer.'
Xun tripped, and struggled. Her muscles ached and begged for her to stop but she would not listen. 'I'm coming, Jach. Please don't do this. Hold on, for me. Please.'
Hot tears rolled down her cheeks as she crashed her way through the hordes in the Kalaram district. His mind was slipping, if she lost him now, there was no way she could find him in time. 'Don't do this' she thought, as she felt Jach's mind flip between his fondest memories. The last bit of life leaving him. 'Please...'
That's when she felt it, the stars aligned perfectly that night, and the druid fell to her knees in front of the Sundered Desolation. Her connection broken from her dearest friend. He was so close to her, but she wasn't fast enough. She could not save him. He was gone.
