Odric trudged through the cemetery that had once been his responsibility to maintain. In the distance he could still see the chard remains of what had once been his house now nothing more that a monument to his cursed existence. Quickly averting his gaze from the painful site Odric focused his attention upon his goal, a large sepulcher. His family name was carved over the stone above the doorway "Malfegor." Odric approached the door and with a grunt pulled the door open. The sound of the door scratching across the floor echoed down in the tomb. Odric grabbed a torch from the wall and descended down the stairs. After a brief decent Odric found himself in the main chamber. The bodies of his ancestors lay in peace upon their stone platforms. Odric swiftly moved towards a large stone statue in the back. The statue looked like that of a sorrowful saint standing, crying in anguish. In the saint's hands rested a massive zweihandler that had a chain attached to its pommel. The chain extended down and then back up to an open shackle resting on the saint's neck. Odric solemnly looked the saint in the face,
Forgive me ancestors
Odric resolutely reached up and grabbed the hilt of the sword. With a sharp pull he removed the sword from the statue's hold. Putting the sword on end Odric examined the sword closely. The blade, if you could call it one, was little more than a solid piece of metal with a wedge on one side that reached from the ground to Odric's waist, obviously the sword was meant more to crush that cut. The sword had no hand guard but simply had the metal hilt wrapped in tanned hide and reaching the top of Odric's head from where it protruded from the solid metal blade. The shackle had no key hole to unlock it if the shackle was to be locked and carved in the front were runes in a strange language Odric did not understand. Odric took the shackle and placed it around his neck, locking it tight. Odric turned from the statue while also placing the sword upon his shoulder and walked out of the sepulcher and back to the cemetery.
