She’s the single greatest writer in recorded history!” A man in the crowd shouted as a group joined him in uproar against the young crier. The woman being surrounded was orcish, her long tusks covering her tight lip as she scowled at the townsfolk who rejected her claims.“Writer, explorer…tyrant! She’s made a name for herself in all three fields! Seriously, has the Unbound neglected the fine people of Orfana? SHE MURDERED A NATION!!!” Anori barked back at the crowd around her.“She’s saving them! Mass plague, I heard it!” Someone from the mob shouts.“She gifted them eternal life! Grey skin is a small price to pay for that if you ask me!” Another calls.“If Andoca Isotalo did it, there HAS to be a good reason!” A third voice yells.“How do you all know? You’ve never met her, only read her writing, vicariously lived the life she claims to have led!” Anori’s veins began to glow beneath the sleeves of her coat, causing the crowd to quiet slightly and back off from her. After a brief pause, a figure steps through the crowd to face the town crier.“…I’ve met her, my lady.” A hollow voice echoes out from the dead man, slowly walking up to Anori. “I was there, you see, when Vashti was reborn.”Anori looked in horror at the undead figure approaching her. Even the crowd she had so easily angered began to thin out at the sight of the Vashtian, the skin of his brow flapping against his cheek with each step, a large winding grey branch jutting out of his chest causing his performatory breaths to be ragged and sputtering.“A-and you’re not upset? I-I mean…what about your life? What about your purpose? Who do you have left to live for?” Anori asked with an uncontrollable quiver in her voice, the revenant’s eerie presence causing her firey veins to dim.“Her, ma’am.” The revenant placed a cold, boney hand on Anori’s shoulder, looking into her face with a blank stare. “I live for her.”</blockquote>
