My new boss got a really penetrating set of eyes.

Imbued with green light, they reach every corner of me.

You see, he got this evident ‘nesting syndrome’, like people who have to change their furniture every now and then.

But I am not against such people.

Not when the habits they created can penetrate across time and space and influence an undead apparition.

When he put the chains around me as for a necklace, I was worried that I will be a gift for some undead dragon, but he hung me onto one bone pillar and waited.

One minute.

Five minutes.

Then, with a ‘sigh’ (by shrugging his shoulders), he sadly moved me elsewhere.

But I did not fit onto the remaining parts of an ogre skeleton either.

Neither on top of that pile of bones.

In the end, he hung me up in the middle of his ‘room’.

So instead of being a luxurious decoration, I became a crude chandelier. Fortunately my boss never sleeps, which means there is no reason to try turn me off.

And my days became like this.

Surrounded by oversized flies - which for some reason never landed on him - I was watching his daily schedule.

He would be practicing strange sets of moves in the mornings, by moving his arms in certain patterns, and then he would go for a walk.

But I never see an ounce of blood on him when he returns, since he got those ethereal clothes where no stains can be left.

During the rest of the day, he would stand before a wall and seemingly ‘write’ something in there and in the night go out.

Don’t misunderstand me - I always wish to be the light of other people, in their lives, but as a hanging wisp I feel this is below my level.

Plus I got a family now.

Aimon, Dius and Vethela.

So this won’t do.

I tried to learn some tricks in order to escape, but it didn’t work. And I think as a wisp, which harvests energy by circling around a tree, I can’t do anything useful while being motionless.

It was during the 23rd time I saw my boss doing those strange moves that something changed.

During the time I imagined he is doing those moves to the song ‘Eye of the Tiger’.

The adventurers came.
