It was a warm spring day in the small khajiiti village called Mistral, located on Khenarthi's Roost, a tropical island.

A khajiiti festival of the Bright Moons had just begun, Festival Stands with khajiit cooks selling the special moonsugar treats only served during the festival were set up all over the village center.

Maj'Rah, a fat khajiit guy was wondering the village when his giant cat nose inhaled the scent of the hand-crafted crescent moon-shaped lumps of dough caked in moonsugar called Moonsugar Moonpies which were more moonsugar than dough, really.

He felt his fat tummy growl at the thought of the festive treat, and his mouth filled with yellowed cat fangs, some giant and some small, watered. He made his way over to a stand selling some of the treats, "Hullo, this one would like to purchase a Moonsugar Moonpie." Maj'Rah said, barely containing his hunger even though he was fat and had just ate 31 moonsugar dumplings with a crab leg center prior.

The khajiit cook stifled a laugh while eyeing Maj'Rah up and down but Maj'Rah did not notice it, and as the cook handed Maj'Rah his treat, he said "Here you are, not that you need it with your weight" then the cook bellowed a laugh right in Maj'Rah's face and Maj'Rah felt a crack in his soul as embarrassment consumed his inner being, and in a quick yet sad attempt to insult the cook back, Maj'Rah said "Well... this one thinks that you are... fat! and... and... and UGLY!".

Then Maj'Rah threw the moonsugar pie right into the cooks face, the white moonsugar powder caked on the treat flew into the cook's eyes and it swirled around him like a ice wraith circling its victim.

"GUARDS! GUARDS!!!" the cook cried out, trying to wipe the moonsugar from his eyes as the moonsugar absorbed into his eyes, instantly making the cook blizted as his cat eyes turned into giant yellow saucers.

Maj'Rah then grabbed an arm full of the khajiiti treats and began to flee the scene as fast as his fat legs could take him, the guards had, by then, ran up to the stand and were trying to understand what had happened to the cook, who then pointed his clawed finger at Maj'Rah and yelled "THIEF!" and then passed out from too much moonsugar intake, and then the 2 guards began to pursue Maj'Rah.

Another guard noticed and began also chasing Maj'Rah, who now has 3 guards coming after him as he ran up the long staircase leading up the khajiiti moon temple. Maj'Rah, feeling out of breath, and only half-way up the staircase, quickly decided to unleash all the doughy moonsugar treats out of his arms and they tumbled down the stairs behind him, causing two of the guards to slip on them and slide down the stairs on their tummies.

Now Maj'Rah only had one guard still pursuing him and as he got to the top of the stairs, he took a left which took him down a walled pathway behind the temple which lead to a dead end but since Maj'Rah was too busy indulging himself in moonsugar all day, he never had time to visit the temple, so he did not know this.

Maj'Rah was already out of breath and as he turned the corner, he realized his fatal error, now facing the dead end of the walled path.

Fear seized his heart as he spun around to see the guard blocking the pathway in front of him, "Stop criminal scum! This one has you now!" the guard yelled, holding up his paw. Maj'Rah, out of breath, raised his fists and said "Stay back!! This one knows... the uh.. ancient art of the khajiiti moon goddess!" and then he did some kicks and punches to the air. "You cannot fool this one! there is no ancient art of the Khajiiti moon goddess." The guard said, gripping his mace in case Maj'Rah attacks him.

Just then Maj'Rah lifted his fist back over his shoulder and then formed two clawed fingers with his paw and swirled his claws into the guards eyes, gouging them out before the guard could react, the guard then yelled out in pain and brought his paws up to his eyes then Maj'Rah sucker punched him in the adam's apple and when the guard doubled over, Maj'Rah swung his foot back and kicked the guard in the anus, successfully chipping his whole big toe claw off on the buns of the guards iron greaves.

Then Maj'Rah began to run back the way he came to the front of the temple, since he was going so fast then when he got to the stairs, he tried to stop himself in front of the staircase, his giant hairy khajiit toes making skid marks on the temple ground, but since his fatness out weighted the rest of him then he went flying off the staircase and as he hit the ground, he tried to do a roll but it failed since he was so fat that when he met the ground the turban wrapped around his head became one with his skull.

The world swirled around him as he tried to get up, staggering off into some ally ways off to the side, he heard a voice say "Psst! Over here!" and at first he thought it was in his head but then he felt somebody grab his fat arm, hurting the fat on his arm in the process and then he got pulled into one of the smelly shacks attached to the ally way.

The room was void of light, so he couldn't see anything except the faint outline of a person, "Are you okay, friend?" the unknown figure said. Still in a daze, Maj'Rah responded "Yes, this one thanks you for saving him.", and as he regained his wits about him, a wrenched smell of something rotten invaded his senses, Maj'Rah then began to take a closer look at the person who had just saved him.

They had wrinkled sickly looking pale white skin that had a greenish glow to it in the darkness, they also wore a pitch black robe with the hood on, they also had hand-stitched the robe closed all the way up to their nose and the robe had also been pulled over his eyes, so Maj'rah could only see a white pointed twisted hook of a nose peaking out.

"S-so... What uh, what uh is, you know, this place?" Maj'Rah questioned, feeling uneasy as fear gripped his soul. The person did not reply, instead they began walking closer to Maj'Rah, forcing Maj'Rah to began backing up further into the room until he backed into something that felt wet, and the smell worsened as the object began swaying back and forth, and you could hear a distinct splattering against the ground.

The person stopped and reached their wrinkled hand into their pocket, Maj'Rah gulped, fearing it was a weapon of some sort but instead they pulled out a match and lit it, lighting up the small room, Maj'Rah's eyes widened more than scientifically possible as he looked at the large object he had bumped into.

A skinned red meaty corpse was hung up by a rope that was bound around it's feet, and beneath the corpse was a round meaty circle with long stringy hairs attached to it, floating in some jumbled rotten matter, when Maj'Rah had bumped into the corpse, and it had started swaying, the scalp that was still attached to the corpse had came off, and all the rotting brain matter from inside the skull had splattered down onto the ground, making the scalp float in a pool of pink and black eels.

Maj'Rah swallowed his scream and spun around, almost slipping in the brain matter, and before Maj'Rah could plead for his life.

The Necromancer then lifted two white wrinkled fingers with dirty long curved dagger-like nails over his shoulder and then swirled them into Maj'Rah's eyes, making him scream in pain, then when Maj'Rah's paws went up to his eyes, the necromancer swung his fist into Maj'Rah's adams apple, flinging him past the corpse, and as he hit the wall of the shack, the back of his head got impaled on a large rusty hook sticking out of the wall, killing him.

The necromancer then ripped the hood from over his eyes to reveal empty eye sockets with tarantulas inside his eye sockets which had their back legs connected to his brain, so he could use them to see.

He lit up a match and lit the lantern connected to the ceiling of the shack, and then he got a dustpan and broom and started to sweep up the rotting mush of brain matter and scalp into the dustpan, humming the festival songs he could hear playing outside as the festival went on.

 And then he started swaying to the beat, then he grabbed the broom and began dancing with it, then he started pretending like the broom was a microphone and began to mouth the words of the song then he did a twirl and ended up smacking into Maj'Rah's body, successfully impaling his forehead on the same hook that Maj'Rah was impaled on, wielding their faces into one.
