As Othello flew away with Grandfather Wind, she thought deeply.

Jacob doesn't look that bad....

But, she remembers that Jacob almost killed her if it wasn't for Grandfather Wind.

A end to this... a end...

Othello flew higher and higher... trying to think of a way to end this... and she found the greatest Love master, Love....

"The Great Love Master, please listen to my request. I want a soothing potion. A potion for memory loss or a potion that could make one person bow before me. Please, help me!"

The Love Master thought this lovely hummingbird wanted someone to fall in love with her and so, misunderstood Othello's meaning and gave her a really strong love potion. And when the Great Love Master gives a strong love potion, it's so strong that if the potion is too much for the person, that person may die...

"Thank you, Great Master...."

And once again, Othello flew away with the wind...
A hummingbird... This is going to be one easy kill...

As Jacob got closer to his prey, he saw the colors of the hummingbird's wings and the beauty of its body. It was no hummingbird he had ever seen...

Stop it... Jacob shook his head I am a necromancer, trained to kill and revive...

Jacob is trying to raise his hand now, trying to recite a spell... but he just couldn't do it because... the hummingbird was gone and in its place was a young beautiful girl...

Hmph, A necromancer, huh? I thought they were cold blooded... Othello scoffed and dusted herself. She got up and started to move closer to Jacob.

"Jacob... when are you going to stop killing?"

Othello said with such a graceful but firm voice that Jacob could not believe what he had seen. The bird.. turned into a human girl. The more of a reason to kill it...

"Jacob.. stop before it's too late... please... stop.. stop before its too late...

And the girl herself disappeared with the winds...

I must be hallucinating.., Jacob thought as he shook his head and stopped killing... for the day.
3 Years Later...

"Let's see... 5 werewolves there, 2 hawks, 1 panda, and 10 snakes.... Hmm... let me try over there..."

Earlier in Jacob's days of apprenticeship

"Jacob, to revive the dead, the dead have to be dead first... do you understand? It means that you have to kill to make a living. I want you to start killing the animals of this forest. As you grow stronger, I hope that you'll make yourself a challenge and kill animals that are more powerful than you. After you kill them, leave them alone for 7 days. Then, you will start reviving. First off, I'll teach you how to revive. You get this potion and that, then you dab a bit of this into that..."

As Ezekiel taught Jacob the reviving spell, animals out there were going into hiding, for... they can always sense danger when it's near.

Back to present

And so, Jacob has made a living of a necromancer's apprentice for 3 years, which is the last year of apprenticeship for him.


Othello, a graceful and beautiful hummingbird, was disgusted at what she saw. Being in the forest for over 1,000 years, she couldn't stand to see her friends and family being killed and destroyed. She couldn't bear to see the pain retched across their faces as they once live again but in pain...

She had to do something.
"NO!" Ezekiel was angry... not angry... in fury! His only grandson wanted to be a necromancer and it was unbelievable...
"Being a necromancer means having to be in secrecy and not to be revealed in public. You are to practice in silence. Do you know the sacrifices you will have to make to become a necromancer?!"

Jacob thought about his childhood friends in the village. He thought of going into the market to buy food supplies and being kicked out of the village because he was a necromancer. But... Maria... Anything will be worth it.

"Yes, I want to become a necromancer." The sky suddenly turned black and the clouds above rumbled.

"Sigh, then it is done. You are now the apprentice of a necromancer. Do not ever go back on your word. Let us take the oath."

"Follow what I say:

As a necromancer, I will take my job seriously and would not reveal my occupation in public. If it will ever happen that someone had knew my secret, I will be forever banned from the world of necromancy. I, Jacob Chiya, will follow this oath and if I ever break it, I will be on every necromancer's blacklist, forever hunted down. If I were to quit the occupation of a necromancer, I would be forever doomed and will be an outcast of the world. Being a necromancer means that I will follow the necromancer's apprentice's rules and if I cannot succeed then, I have no more hopes of becoming a necromancer.

Jacob followed his words:

"As a necromancer, I will take my job seriously and would not reveal my occupation in public. If it will ever happen that someone had knew my secret, I will be forever banned from the world of necromancy. I, Jacob Chiya, will follow this oath and if I ever break it, I will be on every necromancer's blacklist, forever hunted down. If I were to quit the occupation of a necromancer, I would be forever doomed and will be an outcast of the world. Being a necromancer means that I will follow the necromancer's apprentice's rules and if I cannot succeed then, I have no more hopes of becoming a necromancer.."

Jacob was thinking of how the oath wasn't that bad when his grandfather interrupted his thoughts with terrifying visions.

"It's the most horrible oath a necromancer can ever make. You will never rest in peace if you break it. You will suffer eternally, so.. being a necromancer is not as fun as it seems these days. Being a outcast in the eyes of necromancers is not Ezekiel shudders what any necromancer would want," with a sad look in his eyes as he gazed into the eyes of his apprentice, Jacob.
Death.... Blood... Love...

Poor, poor Maria... She was so young... same age as me... and yet...


Ezekiel, a powerful yet unpopular necromancer had a grandson that was unknown of... named Jacob. Jacob was grieving.. grieving over his lost love... his Maria... Having to reach 20 years of life and experiencing the worst pain of his life, it was unbearable.

If only.. I can revive her... bring her back...

A thought came to his head. Necromancers... elders that could revive the dead, bring them back to life.... having to be known as black magic.. they keep low profiles...

I... I could be a necromancer... I... I can have the power to bring Maria back to life... yes, a necromancer...

His head was filled with ideas of being a necromancer that he did not think of the consequences that will come to him when he has mastered his occupation....
