The time came; my Oath was over due, my oath to the Emperor and his Empire
for now. I took the oath, and took a woman that night to celebrate so to
speak, the first stone in my foundation. She was a simple woman, blinded by
the charm I am told I create when I want something from a female. She didn't
scream, she didn't have a single tear, when I made sure nothing could come
from her, to push forward the curse. Her family will not miss her; I doubt
she had one to begin with.

Yet it was not that day that stays in my mind, it was the following
night. When sitting in the local guild studying some texts. It was at that
time a voice whispered to me, the voice of the Muse. The thought of a
creation from death filled my mind. In my studies I had heard a tale of its
work. A part of me hopes to one day see, or even learn to create the work I
have heard of. But for now, I merely listened, to what the Muse spoke. It was
interesting to find how the Muse had a hand in all things alive and dead. It
was the dead part that caught my attention. The small notion of what the Muse
offered, made my lips water for it was an answer to the curse, and a power
beyond what most could seek to touch. I have always known that nothing comes
free, I spoke of the cost of what the Muse hinted it could offer, I was told
simply, "Love". Yet I fear it would be more.

Yet my goal is one of creation, perhaps the Muse will offer me a
power I seek. For now, I will have to let things move along as they should.
Yet I believe I will seek the Muse, and its wisdom, in the Time to come.
