,,Hey Fawn! Shake your little moneymaker and get me info about guards around that weird graveyard on the outskirts! I need to get some goodies for the project!” called a rather shaggy looking guy and chugged beer that was in front of him for at least an hour. He was mostly occupied with his book and tons of weird looking talismans that he took out of a small enchanted bag. Another beer was delivered by a cute looking faun with feminine shapes but rather big looking male packaging under a short skirt. Shaggy looking guy slammed his stub on the table. The stub was a remnant of his hand amputated in the almost perfect half of his forearm. His name was Faust and he was a tattooed freak of nature and humanity. He knew Fawn had his ways of persuading others, since he knew him for a good amount of years and saw his methods with both guys and gals. ,,Yell that a bit louder Faust if you wanna get caught before the actual graverobbing” smiled Fawn and winked at his friend. Faust groaned and lowered his face on a cluttered table. This is gonna be a long night…. At least for him Fawn looked like he had tons of fun with some of the guards that looked like they would turn out to be paying customers sooner rather than later. This has to be a perk being friends with a whore, thought Faust. Fawn got him out of jail many times and he knew where the wealthy graves were. Faust stuck his left hand in the infinite bag and pulled a map with lots of additional messy scribbles. It was a map and information about graves, guards and graverobbers. He grabbed a little pendulum from the table and held it on top of the map. Pendulum vibrated a little and shifted to the one unmarked spot that he marked with a blot of magic ink. The ink changed shape depending on what the mage wanted. Faust's lips curled up, wrinkling the big tattoo on his face. That's gonna have to be the place. Fawn walked around him, cuddled up to his customer and sneakily placed a key to the graveyard on the table in front of the necromancer. Faust smiled even more and wished Fawn was done quickly so they could get to his favorite part.
,,FOR THE LOVE OF SYTIXX ARE WE THERE YET?!” whined Faust while he dragged the shovel behind him. He wanted to get to the site as soon as possible so the labor of digging up the supplies was behind him and he can get to the fun part. At least for him, Fawn was always squeamish about what the dead will look like before Faust was done with it… and the smell! He was wearing expensive clothes and the smell of the soil and fermented body juices would not come off!! Necromancy was a forbidden art and Faust was one of the best even though he was trained as a healer. ,,You know how I am with your little art projects…” quivered Fawn and looked at the map that Faust previously marked with magic. ,,It's a thankless and illegal job…. but you know… guy needs a hobby to relax and ideally both hands” shrugged Faust and waved his stump. Clearly he and Fawn had different ideas of fun, hobbies and how to restore missing body parts. ,,Stop, this is the one. The earth is still wet and turned ” Fawn stopped after checking an old gravestone. It was the grave of one of the wealthiest families in the area, hence why it was looking ancient. The gravestone must have been at least 10 generations old. They had a big thing for ancestors so they didn't dare to change or renovate the stone. Faust grinned and marked the grave with a sigil to make the area around the grave darker and hidden in mist. ,,On it! May the patron Sytixx and mother Yphnis lead my shovel” Fawn rolled his eyes. Now he is gonna just stand around and bore himself to death waiting until Faust is done or until somebody comes close enough for him to hear. No no no not death because that would mean Faust would make him a puppet of his own and make him do ungodly things with his body. Fawn sighed and took his travel dulcimer. He started to play a silent little tune to boost Faust's stamina.
We are alone in the graveyard, robbing a wealthy grave. I am here sitting far, because I've never been so brave.
I hope we have some luck, to avoid the guards, so the necromancer can have some extra spare parts.
Without the luck, we'll be fuc…
,,I can't concentrate” growled Faust and wiped sweat from his brow using his stump. ,,I'm trying to help you, you prick” scowled Fawn. ,,Bigger help would be if you could just grabbed a shovel and dig with me because i have only one fucking hand” ,,I'm not digging it, i wanted to boost you with a song… also loosing your hand was your own stupidity and arrogance… fuck you too then” ,,You wish, deerie” smiled Faust and yet again, got to digging since Fawn was too fancy to help him. With just one hand, the digging was even more labor than he thought.
,,Need a hand?” low but cheery voice said. Faust slowly lifted his head and saw a man towering over him. He didn't look like he wanted to cause trouble yet his muscles were bulging from underneath his gray jacket. He was watching Faust with a slight smile and piercing yellow eyes. Fawn panicked inside. Why didn't he hear him coming? Especially this kinda hot giant?! ,,That's rich coming from a guy with four of them, but what is the cost?” ,,Enosace will help you if you will let me have a few pieces for personal use” Fawn twitched when the voice came from right behind him. When he turned he was surprised to see a small person of unidentified gender and oh so beautiful… The person had porcelain skin, short curly hair with the color of freshly fallen snow and piercing icy blue eyes framed with white eyelashes. The only things that stood out (except for the beauty) was a big scar on the person's cheek, blue tinted lips and behind them and a row of pointy teeth. He had a long dark blue cape over his shoulders. Faust turned and after a few seconds of silence he smiled. ,,Help a cripple out, will ya?” The pretty person that seemed to glow nodded at the giant who took the shovel from Faust and started digging. ,,The name is Faust the Medic! I'm also a hobby necromancer” bowed Faust. ,,Call me Nero and that mountain is Enosace” he replied maybe too quickly. ,,Enos for short!” smiled Enos. He was a good three feet taller than Faust and Fawn who themself weren't too short. Nero was around a head smaller than Fawn and Faust. ,,I am…” Fawn started but Nero cut him short. ,,I know you Fawn the Bard, you're quite popular for sleeping around. I didn't know you had a hobby like this'' a slight smile brushed Neros face. Fawn frowned and wanted to reply but Faust yelped excitedly. ,,That was incredibly fast! Thanks a bunch!” He jumped down and shook one of Enoses many hands. Faust greedily opened the casket and looked over the corpse like he was a kid in a candy shop. It was a really fresh one, almost no decay. ,,Right hand is still okay! Just a bit of mold and gangrene! He is not going to need it soo…” He took the shovel and stabbed the forearm of the corpse. ,,Could you?” he looked over Enos who just shrugged and broke the bones like twigs in his bare arms. Yeah he really didn't skip arm days, thought Fawn. Faust happily looked at his new hand and got out of the grave. ,,Tell me what parts and bits you want and rest is mine” he told Nero. Nero jumped down and looked over the corpse. Faust and Fawn only heard how hungrily Nero started to feast on the meat of the few days old corpse. Faust shrugged and muttered that he could have just told him, no judgment. After a few minutes, Nero was satisfied. ,,What are you gonna do with the rest?” Nero asked. Faust smiled. ,,I thought you'd never ask! I'm gonna utilize it with my pet” ,,Oh no…” said Fawn and his ears twitched as Faust loudly whistled. ,,He has a pet?” Enos asked Fawn quietly. ,, I have a dog! And she is a real beauty! She helps me a lot when Fawn is… busy” Replied Faust and whistled again. This time there was a slight earthquake and ominous mist formed around the graveyard. Faust looked happy, Fawn terrified and Nero with Enos confused as the floor opened and green smoke formed in a dog-like shape. ,,Here Beauty! Come to papa!” smiled Faust and waved his hands, detached right hand still clasped in his left. Dog slowly started to walk towards them and the first thing they smelled was sickly sweet rot. From the mist appeared some kind of abomination with matted black fur, white canine skull, green smoke coming out of the nose and sockets that had two pure black eyes. Eyes rolled for a bit and there were two cloudy looking irises. Fawn tried not to gag as the creature started to ooze green goo from its maw lined with sharp teeth. When it came to them from mist, you could see the same green smoke coming from its visible white ribs. Enos and Nero didn't know what to say as Beauty came to them, wagging her bony and shaggy tail. Beauty was different from other dogs. She was a reanimated corpse of a hellhound Faust found when he was a kid. Beauty was a huge dog… measuring around Neros chest. Everyone braced themselves for what she would do but she…just stood there, panting and leaking. ,,Everyone! Say hello to my lovely Beauty! Beauty, go say hi” said Faust. Undead pet slowly walked over the small group and sniffed with non existing snout. She started to wag her tail and patiently waited for headpats. Nero was first. He just slowly extended his hand on the canine skull and gave her careful head pats. Beauty wagged her tail faster and rolled over on her back. Enos yelped and fell to his knees. ,,Who is a good girl? Are you a good girl? Yes you are the goodest one!!” Enos started to squeal in a high pitched voice and cuddled the bad smelling dog. Beauty barked and licked his face. It sounded distorted, deep and just plain wrong. Fawn gagged a little when he saw the green goo dripping from Enoses face and backed away. ,,Its just a dog?” said Nero. Fawn waved his hands instead of talking. He felt his dinner going up and he didn't want to risk it. After all his nose was much more sensitive than others as well as ears. Nero shrugged and turned to Faust. ,,What about the…dog? What is she gonna do with the corpse” ,,Glad you asked! Watch and learn kiddo!” Faust stuck right hand behind his belt, single handedly cracked his knuckles, pointed at the corpse and said loudly Beauty cleanup! Beauty jumped to her paws and looked over the corpse. She opened her jaw so wide it was not possible for a normal canine. Faust started to grab leftover pieces of the corpse and stuff it inside Beautys neck. He should thank Nero for dismembering the corpse for him. Fawn was turned away the whole time while Enos with Nero watched with both disgust and interest, soon the whole corpse was gone. ,,Pocket dimensions are my thing. I also have a bag like that but Beauty is better to stash parts as she can delay the decay. She is my smart little thing!” Nero with Enos shot glances at each and slowly nodded while Faust cuddled his dog. ,,What now?” asked Fawn after he stopped gagging. ,,Now we need to go home and then we will find Silky to give me a hand” Fawn sighed and looked over to the grave. ,,What will you do with that?” ,,Oh good point” Faust said. He then proceeded to say something in foreign language with some twirls with his left hand. The soil then turned back to grave. ,,Shouldn't you do that sooner to help with digging?” asked Enos. ,,I can't, I'm only talented in dark and restorative magic, the rest is not supported by my patrons.”
,,I am a healer… but also necromancer thus i am never too late”
