Chapter Text
Why did it rise? The question had no answer. Was it weakness that turned it from the reaper’s hand? An unwillingness to face a comforting unknown, to commit? Or was it a newfound strength? It couldn’t be sure, and it never would. As it limped across the stone, sniffling, trembling, it turned its back on the temptation to lay down and let the world wash away. Maybe there would be help. Maybe that was possible? It seemed like a joke, but that single, small idea brought this dead body back to life.
A spark of electricity cracked across its wool.
As a corpse awakened and dragged itself up from the bottom of the world, with such a long journey ahead, it remembered five things about itself.
Its name was Calamus. He, sort of, was a boy. He was a mareep. He was heir to the throne of Lightbeacon, the eternal kingdom of the northeast.
And Lightbeacon’s ruling family—no, HIS family—as of this night, had ceased to exist.
