Part 1: "Whispered partings."
The sheer strength of the wind that thrashed against Amorus' half-exposed face was nearly unbearable. He had expected this and,in mere necessity,had covered his face from the nose down in a rough cloth. The man slowly trudged through the knee-deep snow with his friend,Drecil,still dead in his arms. Perhaps it had been his fault for the Dark Elf's demise, that's what he believes. Amorus had died a mere three days ago, and it was this that had truly killed Drecil.
There he had layed deep in the forest,blood still seeping from his lifeless form.After Drecil had gathered a small amount on his fingers, the dark elf used it to draw a small circled on the other's forhead. And with only a few words,the jutsu took it's dreaded hold, Transfering Drecil's life force to Amorus. Amorus had awoken in just enough time to hear his comrad and friend's last words,and they still rang loud throughought his mind.
"Well..." He had said slowly,his trademark smile still trying to shine through.
"I'm sure you'll hate me for this...so here's to our final goodbye,my ki-"
That was as far as he got...
