Marco waited for the Girl and maybe one or two of the monsters, he had not been sitting in his chair long but had thought plenty of what he wanted to say, He even had extra time to think on other things. He thought back to the time when he was body less and first met a human, necromancer to be exact that had asked him to turn him into an undead Litch.<br/><br/>He made a deal with the man that if the man could deliver him an ancient scythe harbored in an underground ruin called Xapharen. He would make the man a Litch, Marcus remembered distinctly telling the man something... "<span style="color: #40BF00">Tick, tock on the clock...</span>" he whispered, entranced by the memory. Marcus emitted a deep sigh which sounded like a grating sound you would get from rough metal on rough metal.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #00BF00">Deals...</span>" he whispered, "<span style="color: #00BF00">Its all about Deals..</span>."<br/>Sitting in his chair Marcus can to terms with himself and the reality of it all. That he was not as powerful as he appears to be, when he does a command he uses allot of his energy. Needing to be replaced with more souls he would frequently take them from animals, that's where the rumors came from that Death and life were different. People started to depict that Nature was the sign of life, and that The Grim reaper, and Death was the counter part.<br/><br/>In fact that was completely false, if there was no life there would be no Death and if there was no Death there would be no Life. When the man had failed to complete the task, the price was the mans body and soul, Marcus took it over, giving him the ability to move walk and run. But it also limited his power, when the body died it became a skeletal form. If he did not take the souls of the living he would not be-able to maintain balance, despite Hades taking over the underworld he still had to run the souls over his soul and energy to make it pass on, it fueled him a little bit and also allowed the soul to go the other side.<br/><br/>If Marcus had lost his body and then became vulnerable to magic he would gain his power but would be able to also truly die, and if Marcus died all the souls of the dead would run free, the world would become Hell and there for destroy itself trying to maintain order. This is what Marcus thinks about when alone, he thinks about the deals that fuel not just him but also the ones that keep the world in balance and at peace. Done with that thought he continued waiting, waiting for the girl that was going to come through that door, after all, he had all the time in the world right?<br/>Too bad she did not.
