With those words, with that acceptance of death itself, embracing it as a lover not just physically but in her soul, everything changed.  The corpse's eyes opened and a weak light shone from deep inside their depths.  Not enough light that might even be visible normally, but after so long in this pitch black even that wan glow was startling.  The energy she poured from her soul into the corpse was returned.  That dark black necrotic energy might have felt alien and evil before, but now it simply was.  Their essences counter-mingled and swirled together, mixing, merging, becoming a fusion of her life and the energy of death.  She felt that large cock probing her nethers and desiccated hands guiding her hips.  But despite it's size, it was a smooth and almost gentle transition.  She was stretched and stuffed with the massive cock, but it was as it should be.  It was the embrace and joining of two lovers.<br/><br/>She realized then, this wasn't a corpse, this was the physical embodiment of death itself, for her.  She'd admitted and accepted it, and it had likewise accepted her.  The energy passed between them, not just from their lips, not just from their joined sex, not just from where living vital elven flesh touched desiccated, but in every place their auras touched.  It flowed around them swirling through the air in the stone sarcophagus.  It didn't move in or out of her, but through her, through death, passing through and between them.  She had submitted to the horrors of death in the first part of the ritual, but this was the true test, to see if she accepted it with every aspect of her being.  This was the judgement, and she had passed.  Death had likewise accepted her, and in granting her some of his essence, had changed her.<br/><br/>Tialyn the elven warrior died in that coffin.<br/><br/>Tialyn the elven shadow knight was born.<br/><br/>She was reborn, with new strength and an expanded outlook.  With necromatic power one could push back the boundries of death, one could coax it to your will, deny it, or embrace it.  Only in her submission and then acceptance of it's eventuality did she learn that it was not as unstoppable as most appeared, but like anything else, fluid.  The corpse in her arms, inside her cunny came, filling her with his power, and then vanishing into wisps of dark purple energy that seemed to race into her, strengthen her, and change her forever.<br/><br/>With a burst of strength, Tialyn hunched her feet under her and put her shoulders on the stone lid of the sarcophogus and pushed.  The stone shifted, cracked, and broke, dirt spilling into the coffin.  But she pushed upwards, her hands breaking through the dirt into the air above.  She clawed and crawled, pushing her way upwards, pulling herself free from the grave and climbed back into the dirt floor basement, panting and breathing fresh air into new lungs.  That burst of strength faded but still she could feel that she had been forever changed and she had completed the ritual.<br/><br/>Suddenly she had another one fo the game's mental pop ups inside her mind.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div

so lost in the game for a little while that she had been Tialyn.  Still, it was easy to dismiss the mental note, and the necromancer NPC, who was grinning and shifting slightly, obviously controlled by a game master or someone else at the moment smiled and said, "Congratulations Tialyn, take your new armor and weapon.  I'm sure it will help you along your path."  He gestured to a bundle wrapped in black cloth at his feet and Tialyn knew that she had gained a distinct advantage, even it had taken a long time, it would be worth it.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div

onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Advantages</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Advantages:</strong><br/>i) Intuition - Our heroine might not be book-smart, but she has a knack for figuring things out. ("This is the end that shoots bullets, right?") Beginners sometimes get lucky, after all...And sometimes, on the virtual battlefield, a good guess is better than all the knowledge in the world! <br/>ii) Attractive - No two ways about it...Our heroine's *hot*. She's not just a babe virtually, she's hot IRL too...Which makes her very popular indeed, on both fronts. (The fans seem to love it, and who can blame them?)<br/>iii) Minor Celebrity - Streamer - Callie already has built a decent following on her stream.nn page.  She's going to have a fan base that's going to cheer her on and try to help her in game as supporters instead of going in as an unknown.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Flaws</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Flaws:</strong><br/>i) Vain - It's hard to be a streamer without being just a *bit* of an attention whore. And our girl has it *bad*. She just loves the adulation of her fans...And she's oh-so-willing to do what it takes to keep them interesting. (This isn't just showing off - She's more likely to take risks, even when they'd work against her.)<br/>ii) Trouble Magnet - It happens. If there's a one-in-a-million chance that something could go wrong...It *will*, and she'll probably be right at the heart of it. Things just keep getting drawn to her, one way or another. <br/>iii) Livestreaming - The world is watching her, not just in game, but also her real life as she goes through this lewd quest.  Any failures to her heat rating are going to more severe, as people are seeing that failure on two fronts. </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fetishes</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Fetishes:</strong><br/>i) The Gross / Ugly<br/>ii) The Undead<br/>iii) Goblinoids</div></div></div></div>
