Loving the Undead
Many centuries later, Faye Khan stumbles across a magical book about the dark arts and brings a necromancer to life-accidently, of course! Faye's expecting this necromancer, Silas (who's super judgemental of the human world) to turn her into one of his undead minions but after helping her deal with a deadly side effect of her spell, he just wants to chill...or so he claims... Prompt 76: Your reflection smiles before you do and then begins mimicking things you never did (this plays a pretty major role in this story as you have to take down your reflection). Prompt: 72.
