The night had come, and the house was silent. The only light in the room came from the glow of his own eyes. This gave him excellent sight (as it always had) in the dark but it really came to no use when he was alone.
Closing his eyes, he could almost imagine himself still being in the frozen tunnel, standing silently as it's sentry for foes that never truly came. He had stood for days, weeks before in one spot because of an order to remain where he stood. In the dark silence, he could hear whispers of the past, feel the necromancer attempt to seduce him into allowing passage to his mind. However, that was the one thing he knew would only ever be touched by the lich king, who's power was reduced but not removed. Some day he would come to serve him again, hopefully. At least, it was a hope he carried while he waited in those tunnels, In the dark, with silence as his company.
At least he knew Senes was just on the other side of the door, that there were a trusted few that lived vibrantly around him.
His eyes twitch, catching a movement as a mouse scuttles it's way across the floor. Slowly his eyes turn back to the doorway that led to the outside.
He remembered so little, but enough to know that in life he was dedicated to protecting Senes.
So would his undeath, then. Even if he had to remain in the dark alone.
Not that he blamed Senes for it, such was the lot he had, preventing others from having nightmares or unpleasant experiences.
No, there was only one to blame... and that one would have a prolonged death, indeed.
