Ever since General Lilith Sorrengail killed his family and the rest of the rebellion, he had felt constant sadness. He learned to live with it, but it still hurt... especially when he was alone with his thoughts*

one day, when they sneak out of Basgiath at night, he heard rumors of a necromancer working miracles... Apparently, she has stopped using her power for many months, apparently she has gone crazy

A few months later, they sneak away again at night, following rumors and leads, he found her kneeling by the grave lighting a candle. she had white hair and a disturbingly pale face and her eyes almost glowed bright green. she was dressed in dark clothes in a gothic style

Xaden armed himself so that the necromancy would stop using her power...or so they said, but Xaden would even force her if it would allow him to meet his parents
