My body hummed with my mana, and my hair moved in slightly, almost looking like it was blowing in the wind from the seas. Mira watched over as the Lich, and I stood on a deck with an audience of the dead watching. Zombies and Skeletons watched unmoving as we stared at each other. My eyes gazed into her black and purple eyes while we waited on the deck of the Galley for the bell to chime.

The Lich was smiling as she waited to watch every movement of my body while I watched her body waiting.

A soft chime of a bell rang with the wind, but neither of us paid any more attention as I shot closer to the Lich closing the distance. The Lich was smiling, and a green orb rose from her hand as I launched myself at her, and she sent it my way with a simple gesture. Her confidence made me dodge that ball by leaping to the side and launching myself forward again toward her.

Milliseconds had only passed, Lich's smile grew brighter, and I felt a chill on my spine. A staff rose in black smoke, and I leaped to the side as tendrils of smoke rose in a barrier around her trying to snatch at me. I leaped back into a rift, regaining distance from her, and tossed a ball of thermite at her. The dust lasted a second inside its sealed state before blowing open on the tendrils surrounding her. A bright flash of light blinded those unprepared, and I heard the lich grunt over the wind.

What came next, though, as I fired an icicle behind a thermite bomb towards the Lich, was something that made me tendrils seemed to come from the Darkness and rose to spread out from the barrier, and the Lich grabbed onto the staff. Chills ran through my body, and I knew I needed to change my combat style back to close distance or anything other than long distance as the world seemed to go dark.

The sky darkened, and the Lich smiled brightly, "Bunny-kin, you better stop holding back, or I will kill you accidentally!" She cried out, "WORLD OF LIFE!" The Lich suddenly commanded, and the Darkness seemed to surround us my skin goose-bumped, and the Darkness surrounded the ship. I no longer could see water or the sky, and tendrils started to slither in from the Darkness.

The Lich wasn't done with something so controversial that it didn't make any sense what she did. Instead, more and more green lights started to dance around her, and those green lights started to appear all around the boat. Then she lifted the staff and pointed it at me. "Life begins with death," The Lich spoke, her voice very feminine and quiet, but those tendrils started to move, and the Green lights started to shoot around.

Watching all of this, I felt almost frozen. I was having trouble understanding what was happening, but whatever was freezing me ended, and I felt like I was in a dire situation. I could not touch that, and I couldn't even understand the space I was in now. My mind was busy trying to grasp what the fuck was happening, but I didn't have time to understand what this magic was. I needed to act, and so I opened a rift. I dropped into it just as those green lights buzzed past. I appeared on another part of the boat only to see those green lights surrounding me a second later as she pointed the staff in my direction.

Fear shivered as I partially understood the consequences or assumed that the staff was moving the orchestra. I rifted out and appeared not far away as those lights reacted together, following where the staff pointed.

My mind whirled, and I realized I still had some advantages. My mana burst to life, and I went into a rift and appeared several feet away from the glowing orbs. The orbs moved faster and faster, and I had to move faster and break the void into rifts faster and faster to compensate. That was when I made a mistake, and a scream ripped from my throat as I felt my skin rotting as one of those tendrils seemed to catch my leg. Some of it rotted away, and I rifted out and away, but I instantly realized that I had a problem. I looked around in the short moments as I moved, and I realized the area I could move to become smaller and smaller, and now my leg hurt.
