The necro​-​regeneration brazier

from HDK 29 † Dunjon Majik by DUNJON MAGIK

/

lyrics

You are in an intricate dungeon, an underground labyrinth lit by an unknown-origin dim light.
The walls are finely carved with symbols of dark meaning. Undead moths are flying about in the corridor. You shudder for this macabre-sight but you go ahead and reach a round room. In the center of the room there is a brazier where yellow dense flames are burning. You realize that it is not warm but it gives off an icy wind. Touching the walls you discover a secret niche containing a parchment and a curved dagger. The parchment is in common language and says that that brazier has a terrible, evil and immeasurable power: it can transform the dead into alive. The mysterious author of that writing ends with: "Those who read these lines have only a single possibility: piercing their heart with the sacrificial dagger and burying the secret of this horrible discovery with their death". You decide to throw a body of a dead rat into the brazier. You take it from the ground and throw it into the flames. A blinding light prevents you from looking. When, after a while, you open your eyes, you notice a live rat in front of you. But it is really revolting, half eaten and with filthy and smelly skin. "What an absurd and creepy place" you think. You go back to the dungeon exit. The people of the village are incredulous: you survived! You become very popular in the region and everyone asks you to tell your experience. You do it willingly, asking for abundant compensation in gold coins.
A few months later you are barricaded in a room of a sordid tavern. You are seriously injured. You have no weapons and you do not have any food. You have nailed the windows and the door, but do not believe that the boards can still hold up against the even more insistent blows of the undead. Your friends have all died. In the village you have not met any alive human, or you should say not yet undead. You remember the sacrificial dagger you hold in the suit vest. You decide to use it and to end everything here. Before piercing your heart, a single thought comes to your mind: "if at that time I had kept my mouth shut, the world would never know anything about the brazier of the necrorigeneration".
