<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 11px; vertical-align: top;">If not, why not? Or why are they healthy? As he is undead, not much can harm or effect him besides weapons. So without a sword sticking out of his hallow skull, I'd say he's as healthy as a corpse can get.

Xanges jumped up as if zapped by an electric shock. He inwardly groaned as he became aware that he was no longer in stasis. He tried to shake the images which now feel burned into his skull but can’t, last night’s vision felt worse than any of the others he had experienced before. He grimaced as he realized why, it seems Madam Cho didn’t forget that today was the 200th year he’d come under her service.

Every night since he’d become a lich, she cursed him to relive the assassination of her descendants, the emperor and his family that Xanges had killed. He was unsure whether previous dreams, nightmares in his opinion, were as painful or as clear and sharp as this one was. The mission was literally the climax of his career as a professional assassin, Cho gave him no other choice as even though he took his own life with a poisonous pill, she was insistent enough to keep him around to “pay” for what he had done. Scowling at his own action, he had foolishly given away almost all of his possessions in the idiotic attempt to appease Madam Cho. Obviously it didn’t work and worst of all, she only found it humorous that he thought it would work.

Looking further back in life, Xanges wondered where it all started. Growing up in Apal was short lived. In his time there, Xanges learned magic as was the custom of the inhabitants, but always preferred his bow and arrows, he has learned how to use them hunting game, which he used to feed his family and occasionally sell to the village market. One day while hunting however, he got caught in some kind of trap and was kidnapped and shipped to Esperia to be sold to Anarchintia.

Xanges found an opportunity to escape, and he did, killing his captors in the process. This act did not go unnoticed however, his soon to be new family noticed his spree. He killed with precise movements and almost undetectable stealth. The only reason they noticed was because they had a stake in slave trade. They were going to re-capture him, but decided to use it as an initiation for the Red Hand.

After being in the order for at least three decades, Xanges was up for a promotion of sorts, he was to be sent on a mission to become the head assassin for the Red Hand. The mission itself was rather simply, accomplishing it was much harder. Xanges was tasked with killing the Emperor of Xandi-lat and Ringence. He travelled there and spent several weeks working out the assassination while using the festival as a cover. The contract went almost perfectly. Almost. A powerful being had conceived the ancestors of the emperor and his family, and they were kin to her. Madam Cho, the guardian of the west, detected the killing of her family and rushed to their aid. She was however, too slow and Xanges had killed the family, children and all, just as his was ordered before she arrived. A violent chase broke out and Xanges almost got away. Almost. Right before he would have been able to slip away, the enraged Dragon caught hold on him, and threatened him with torture for the crimes he had committed. Instead, Xanges took the poison capsule store his mouth, smiling humorlessly at what he assumed, the powerless being he though he was spiting. She decided death was not yet enough for him, she cast a spell and bound his soul to so unknown item, cursing him to roam the planet and make amends for what he did.

Struggling to stand up, Xanges held out a hand to grasp the wall next to him. She definitely didn’t forget that today was the 200th anniversary of the killing. He revealed the amulet hanging around his neck and brought it near his mouth and sucked out the essence that lied within. He immediately felt better, thanks to the artifact he found a long time ago. That however, is a memory for another time. Xanges hide the amulet back underneath his clothing and set off from his cave. Today was going to be LONG.
