A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 100: Jane-2

"When you were small, you despised your father for leaving you and your mother all alone as well as you loathed your mother for not taking a stance for you. Your mother ignored her maternal duties and always worked for providing for the family. Your father used to come once in a year and used to give you all the money and sweets but that's all it was. Your mother was aware that the money won't suffice that's why she chose to earn. You were left alone in your house every day."

"I dare to say Jane but it's truth. Not only your parents but even you also hated yourself. You hated your myopic condition. You hated how people treated you. Then one day Shenna came into your life and became your best friend. She didn't mock you as others did. She played with you and helped you with your studies. She helped you in the same way as a normal friend would help its friends. You noticed her kindness and care. Slowly and slowly you bonded and there was a phase when you both were inseparable. Your childhood days became bright because of hers and it was all good in your life until..."

Jane who was standing still started shaking but Severus felt no pity for her. 

"Until Gye came. He was a charismatic guy and it was more than natural for your maiden heart to fall for her. Under Shenna's confidence, you even proposed him. Too bad, he didn't accept your love but proposed to your dear best friend."

"SAD"

"But do tell me, after he proposed to Shenna, What did she do?"

"Did she accepted his proposal?"

"Did she cheated you?"

"Did she mocked you?"

"Or....."

"No, NO...she didn't do anything like that. She came to me and explained it."

"Hmm, I see. So she explained and in return what did you do?"

"Let me guess. You blessed her, after all, she was your best friend. Wait, you didn't?"

"Poor girl!"

Severs raised her chin with his fingers as he stared in her eyes while he spoke." You slit her neck with your dagger and buried her body. Not just this, you even cursed her soul to never reach heaven as well. After planning a perfect murder you behaved like a victim and tried gathering Gye sympathy. Too bad, he was way more intelligent then you imagined him. He saw through your tricks of getting close and thus he committed suicide. Let me rephrase it, He LEFT you for SHENNA. He believed, if not in this world then he will meet her in the second world."

"Cliche"

"But I guess that is true love or maybe suicidal love. However, you were still not satisfied. You knew that Gye died for the sake of Shenna so to take revenge for your failed love pursue, you scattered his soul in the world and cursed him to forget about his love."

Severus scrunched his nose in annoyance and pure disdain.

"You reek of evil Jane. What else can I imagine from a child born by evil"

Severus sarcastically remarked but it blew off Jane's mind. She was utterly shocked and stammered while speaking. "H...Ha...How do you know about it? It...ca.ca...ca..can't be possible. No one knows about it. No one. How could you know about it?"

Jane murmured incoherently.

"Jane, have you ever wondered why were you blind? Okay if blindness is common then have you ever wondered why did you age suddenly? Why does everyone around the village behave so differently with you? Why don't they behave friendly with you and just treat you as some kind of madwoman? O let me correct it. Like a mad old woman."

Jane kept her mouth shut but it was evident in her eyes that she wanted answers. 

Severus knew exactly what were the reason and because of that he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Your mom was the practitioner of necromancy and when you were born her she tried performing the sacrifice. She wanted to sacrifice you for powers. Luckily your father saved you. Oh, do you know who was your father and how did he manage to save you? I guess you don't know?"

Jane instantly snapped as she shouted."My father was the keeper of the book. He safeguarded the book that was left by the second survivor of that massacre"

Severus smirked when he heard it. Although he had his doubts earlier, now the truth was unfolding, everything started connecting and making sense.

"No, darling. That's where you are wrong. You father was the keeper of the book however, he was also the second survivor of that massacre. Your father, Aris Cheya was the 10-year-old kid that survived the massacre. He was the rumoured child. If not for that, then how can you explain his knowledge about Resee town. He was an educated man but even for an educated man, remembering a town like the back of his hand is impossible unless he hasn't spent his years there. Your father caught the necromancy books of your mother. He was horrified and scared when he saw her sacrificing you, his own daughter. He already saw the tragedy once and didn't want to repeat it again thus he sealed your mothers' memories with his magic. That explains why your mother was always detached to you. She was like a living doll which had no emotions. You know Jane, this is known as love. Although I actually don't appreciate your father's method but they are still safe and in accordance with humanity."

"Your mother was a threat to you, and humanity thus he sealed her knowledge but because he loved you and your mother dearly he didn't kill her."

"He was also the person who made you blind Jane. Your eyesight was all good however your father used his magic talent to make it worse."

Jane was stunned on the spot.

Whatever she hard today made her already cold blood freeze. She knew life was harsh but it was the first time she was being crushed under the weight of truth. It appeared no one was ever pure. Every human is selfish and has his hands filled with evil.

"However he did it for your sake. After your mother performed her black magic on you, it was to needless to say that you were already turned into a monster. Your human heart got corrupted the day your mother sacrificed you. Your days to live like a human ended the day, your mother sacrificed you. You father was aware of the danger that has been done and in order, to safeguard, it was best for him to kill you but he didn't because he loved you. He loved his daughter. To protect you, he made you myopic so that you cant read all these necromancy books. He even cast the spell on the book called, Spells and curses. You remember the book that I borrowed it."

When Severus saw that Jane was following him he continued. "That was not only a necromancy book but it was also the autobiography of the second survivor. Everything was written there. Every single thing which I am telling you was written on it. All these years the truth was in front of you but you never bothered to find it."

Alas!

So it was like this.

My own mother turned me into a monster.

My own curse made me age like this.

"Severus.so you telling me that everything I experienced was nothing but an illusion?"

A lonesome expression appeared on his face." Not really. The taboo art form which your father wanted to protect you, finally reached you. Blood sure is thicker than water. The evil that was seeped inside your heart finally exploded and on top of that, you even continued the art. You weren't strong like your mother thus your body took a toll on you. You started ageing and your youth withered with each art you practised. Finally, it consumed you and you became an old woman and now you have sold yourself to that art."

"You are far from saving Jane"

Severus concluded.

Emotions fluctuated inside her body and she looked conflicted.

"Everything was illusions, Jane. You were never old or blind. It was just that situations weren't in your favour but you got no one to blame for it. To tell you the truth you are just in your twenties. It only had been 3 years since your so-called love and your best friend died, however, Didn't you felt like it had been eternity?"

"Brainless Fool. It is the price that you paid for using necromancy. Girl, You should never play with fire if you don't know which way the wind is blowing."

Jane heard each and everything. 

Severus saw that her appearance started changing as she was turning to her previous self. 

Which was nothing but hideous.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Jane yelled.

Her voice contained every emotion she was feeling.

[Severus she has lost it and went berserk. Either run or fight but be ready to face death in both sitauatin] Noworry voice reverberated inside his sub-conscious. His voice made Severus feel calm.

He backed away but can he really be safe?

Not a chance.

"Where are you running Severus? Since I am already a twisted monster who has done nothing except committing sins then why not I continue doing it. At the least, I will be able to feel love."

"This is not what you call love Jane."

"You will never be satisfied with it"

"Oh shut up"
