A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Desella still didn't lookup. "Big brother is the same person who rescued me after my parents died. Everyone in the village and even my relatives blamed me for my family assassination. They said that I was working with a brute organisation and killed my own parents for it. However, it was a lie. I loved my family. Mom- Dad, Sessy. I loved them all and even now too. After they all were killed I was lonely in this world. Villagers wanted me killed because they thought I was traitor. My relatives wanted to kill me because of my parents' wealth. No one was there for me. In this entire world, I felt lonely for the first time. I tried hiding but as I gave thought in it, I felt that hiding was useless. Sooner or later I was bound to be found and then killed. It was at that moment that I felt despair. Big brother was the one who saved me from that despair. Big brother was actually a teacher in our school. We used to call him teacher however since he was very young and he was acquainted with my dad, I used to address him as a big brother. He took me in and kept me with himself for several years. He told me that journey with him would be tough but at that time I was unaware that it was really going to be this tough. We both went to Vashye hills and I stayed there for 10 years. I grew up in the hills, I grew up with him. Later I met with Tishn and others too but I was very naive to believe that they all were my friends."

"Everyone lied to me and the worst thing was that the people I considered as my family were the ones who murdered my real family. I trained very hard, every day until my hands and legs started shaking. I followed a rigorous schedule and led a tough and simple life under big brothers guidance. The only hope of my survival was to find the real murderer of my family and kill them. With this in my mind, I worked day and night and didn't let big brother down. Soon Tishn joined and later we were a group of three. We trained together, we ate together, we slept together. It was like a family. Big brother always asked me and Tishn to fight so that we can test our skills. Every time it was me who won. Everyone thought that I was just strong but no. They were wrong. Everyone was wrong. I was never strong. Even today also I am not strong. When my parents died, I was a helpless kid later in my life I lived as a pathetic girl and in the end, I died in vain. I always endured pain and whenever I felt like giving up the only thing that kept me up was the big brother. It was no doubt that I always admired big brother. Everyone in the Vashye did. He was a great scholar with killer martial art skills. His preaching was too good to ignore. He was a damn good person. Slowly, slowly this admiration turned into fondness and later it turned into something un-achievable. Unfortunately, I fell for him. At first, I was horrified with my own feelings and I tried running away from it but to no avail. With time and circumstances, I accepted my feelings."

"Spring came for me, Severus. I was so happy when I finally made peace with my feelings. Every pain and hard training that I completed, paid off. I was so head over heels for him that I even forgot my motto. Why did I come here in the first place? What was my reason for following him? I forgot everything. It was an undeniable fact that my parents and my beloved sister were dead. No matter how much I suffered or grieved they weren't coming back. Even if I took revenge and killed the murderer, it was same. Maybe I will feel god for time being but afterwards, a void would always be there inside my heart. The loneliness which will never be filled. From resentment to grief and from grief to despair. I would have trapped in my cycle. Except for assassinating my parent's murderer, there was nothing there in my life. There was nothing that interested me. I was clueless and at it was those moments when I found my belief. My will to live. It was all for big brother. At that moment, even if he would have ordered me to sacrifice my life, I would have. Happily too, with a smile on my face. However, happiness doesn't stay for long. "

"One day I was as usual fighting with Tishn as I casually kicked him and gripped his neck as I locked him. At that moment when his neck was bent, I saw hell. At first thought I might be dreaming so I blinked my eyes but no, hell was still there. It was engraved on his neck. There I saw a crescent moon with a slash on it and something strange was written near the slash. It was a strange language and I couldn't understand it, however, I was sure that I saw that mark somewhere. Where else it could be if not for on my parents head.The.....The..mark of the crescent moon was engraved on the foreheads of my parent's dead body. You can't imagine the amount of shock I got that day. It was the first day that I ever fumbled in a match. I paled and sweat dripped from my body. My entire body turned cold. However, when I looked at big brother, I shook my mind. Until then, I didn't suspect him. Not even a bit however that day, I surely made a pulp of Tishn. Days passed away and soon two weeks passed. It was a casual day and I was flowering plants as well as running errands. There I saw a butterfly and I started playing with it. I was so engrossed with my fun that I didn't notice where I was going and soon I entered deep inside the forest. The butterfly soon flew away far and so as my fun but I was lost. Even after spending 10 years in Vashye, I wasn't familiar with its routes. I tried finding my way and wandered inside the jungle but my luck, as usual, it was bad. I didn't found out the way. Feeling hopeless I sat on the ground while using a trunk of the tree as a cushion and waited for someone to come and find me. I waited and waited but no one came. As I was going to stand up I heard footsteps. Excitedly I was going to shout but no words came out of my mouth because of the sound that I heard. I heard the voice of big brother and Tishn. At a time like this, I would have been jumping and hopping towards them but their words made her shocked to the core"

"Do you want to know what they said, Severus?"

Severus who was quiet whole time nodded his head in acknowledgement.

A sigh escaped from her mouth as she continued." Big brother scolded Tishn for wearing loose clothes. When I saw the mark over Tishn's body, big brother too saw it however in frenzy he didn't notice my expression and when he did, I was back to normal. So he wasn't sure whether I saw it or not. However, since the day I beat him to pulp big brother had his own doubts. He wasn't sure but he can't fully disregard the possibility of me seeing that mark."

"Are you dumb? I have told you times to be careful but still, you are so careless. What if she had seen it?"

A handsome man who was exceptionally white argued back." Big brother, we can't be certain. What if she hadn't seen it?"

"You dare say this to me. We can't disregard the possibility that she hasn't seen it. Can we? Why the hell are you so bent on filing my plans. Listen carefully Tishn, Desella is my asset. A very valuable one. I can't let her know anything"

Tishn sulked as he nodded his head.

"Big brother why are we here?"

"I just wanted to reprimand you. I can't do it openly there because then everyone would be asking reasons for reprimand you. I want you all to understand the gravity of the situation. So please understand"

"Yes, big brother. I understand and it's my fault. I beg for pardon"

"Granted Tishn. I want you to have a tight grip on the organisation since you are vice head."

"Why I am not the one who is head but she is?"

"Be good Tishn"

Tishn got annoyed and pouted in response but after seeing his big brother's expression he dare not say anything and quietly left the forest.

He went murmuring,"What good does she have? Bitch......"
