The positive energy of the healing spell had finished off the last shadow. With a groan he pulled himself heavily to his feet, barely able to rise under the weight of his armor. He incanted a divine spell and restored the strength of his positive energy body that had been stolen by the swarming undead. Seventeen! The entire staff of this wayside inn had been transformed into shadows who preyed upon every traveller who came through this byway, swelling their numbers with new spawn from the souls of those who fell to their draining touch. How long it took them to reach this number Kyron did not know, luckily it was an isolated area and not a whole village or city for the foul creatures to prey upon and increase their numbers.Kyron cursed himself for not suspecting from the emptiness of the inn when he first arrived, only sensing the shadows when one leapt to attack him sucking part of the life force out of him. It was actually good luck that he got jumped by one, Kyron decided. If he had been swarmed by the whole horde at once he would have fallen before he could pull out his sigil amulet and blast them with positive energy. Kyron shuddered at the thought of falling to shadows, his whole life essence corrupted from light to darkness. It just would have confirmed those rumors some of the other luminous whispered about the dark stains on his hands.But the fortunes of war favored Kyron and the war against evil he had sworn himself to could continue. At least these seventeen souls would now know rest.Thinking about the stains Kyron looked at his hand. Some of the spots were converging. What this would portend Kyron did not know. The spots had moved before but never connected, and as he had taken to his wandering crusade they had moved steadily as if their positions were related to his physical location, all but the center one which had always been fixed since the day of his soul's incarnation in this body. It was still a mystery, one Kyron wanted to unravel for the ease of his troubled mind, but the answers eluded him. And there was always the War. As an initiated member of the enlightened order Kyron had learned many methods to harness supernatural power but with those powers came a responsibility to fight to make the world a better place, to confront the powers of darkness and evil.Kyron shook his head, the War continued but this battle was over. He strode up the now empty hallways, increasing the light aura from his luminous body to flush out any shadows if they remained. When he was sure there were no more in the building he sought a bed to sleep in. In the morning he would continue his journeys.</blockquote>
