I was walking alone one night and I heard this noise it came from the woods. I went to check where it was from, and I found out it was this guy speaking some other language. He was chanting mortuos suscitat. I think he was trying to recite a spell because it sounded like latin. Punire et ardeat ille peccator. That was his next chant he had a sword and was stabbing what looked like a dead body. The body stood, but I said it's impossible. Am I really witnessing real necromancy. His latin wasn't perfect, but still, it's a dead language, and he's raising the dead. I decided I would try to take the sword and stab him. I then did it, but then I started chanting the things he was chanting. I noticed the sword is cursed it takes and gives life to those who see it. It creates a loyal army that wants to destroy humanity.
