Necromancer (The Haunting Continues...)

In the cemetery I walk, so dark it is this night. Hoping that the Ghouls won't start to bite. I feel the tug of the dead, as each grave I pass. Thankful this nervous tension won't last. Armed with my Animation supplies, I stare out at all the green glowing eyes. A chicken for my blood sacrifice, Raising the dead, there's always a price. The salt keeps the dead inside. Using the machete our magic, we'll ride. Salt is for everybody's protection. Cold steal seals out any deception. To prime the earth so the dead will rise, cast the blood and create our ties. Focus my energy and the ground starts to shake. Winds whip through the area and the on-lookers quake. I command all that is at least 3 days dead. Just enough time for the soul to move ahead. Born with this power as a Necromancer, When I will my power all the dead have to answer. I look to Sandra Hudson, who hired me, to raise the dead and hear their screams. I call Illyanna De La Keur from her deep, dark grave. Her words are scary so be very, very brave. For John Loving III's "Haunted Poets Society"

I answered your spooky call, a story where horrors fall. I know you will shake in your boots, and hairs stand from the roots. So come on and jump out of your skin, in my macabre and frightful den! LOVE ILLY

Woww!!! Hey, this game is so much fun and you are now a justifiably honored member of the "Haunted Poets Society." The idea of a "necromancer" is very intriguing and the poem is written in a suspenseful manner. Great work! Love, Carolyn
