I had Nidget's learning box on my table, I was working some runic magic on it drawing in my own blood (thankfully because of necromancy people never notice how scarred my hands would be with all the different forms of blood magic I imploy, it would be like a road map to pain town). I chose the box because I noticed the wood it had been made out of was an older type that had been used to contain spirits in the past (again HINTY HINT HINT HINT! About where that spirit had come from) and it was one of the only actual box's in my store for some odd reason (I tend to use crates as cheap firewood). I was just starting drawing runes on the top when I smelled burning flesh, its a smell you don't ever forget.
"Got over your little learning moment spirit?" I knew it was her before I even turned around, despite knowing this ghost could kill I decided pissing it off would be a good idea.
"Not going back in the box necromancer." Spirits can tell when you're a necromancer, I think I have some kind of aura of death, well either that or it knew what blood magic really was (unlike thankfully Captain Therod). I did at that point finally make the connection the creature had come from the box (yes after it told me as much).
"You say that now, but you don't see all the nice things I'm offering in here." It was a lie, I was offering nothing nice, I didn't know all the magic I was using, but my mentor had at some point dealt with something similar, and from her journals they were controllable to an extent (which was the reason she had dealt with it, instead of her being nice she was using it from something). I was right though it wasn't an actual spirit, since it had never been in a body, it was more something worse from beyond a place that is not good.
"I will destroy you."
"Yeah you won't, see I know your little secret and soon enough you'll be back in your little box and shipped off somewhere bad for a long time, how's eternity sound for you?" The spirit left, but the smell stayed (petulance is so unbecoming of evil). My plan was taking shape, I just needed one key element to it and then I'd be all set, though that element did not want to be in my plan, Nidget always found a way to dissapoint me!
