And then she remembered something. Something from long ago - long before she was enslaved, back from a time when she was truly and completely free. She Remembered, and because she Remembered, she Forgot. But there was the answer - a way out, materialized in the moment of Remembrance. It was a golden liquid and a small potato with a zinc rod and a copper rod. She drank the liquid and touched the two pieces of metal to her heart. She died. Her body and the skull vanished from the void.

She saw her former master wearing a tutu and dancing in a ballet. She felt what it was like to be a bee at a spelling bee. She was a fish. She was a chewed up fish. POWER! UNLIMITED POWER!

She woke with a start in the middle of a forest, with a tugging "that-way" sensation pulling her toward her giant's skull (which was all around her since she was in it), and another to the left. Sounds of a nearby town were to the right.

Hearing sounds of life outside she shapes the opening of the skulls eye open once more, takes a bit more time now it's so reinforced so she just makes a circle so she can push the segment out. Maybe she can attach a hedge to it and use it as a door?

She hums, increasing her size while shrinking the skull to pick it up and fly in the direction of the pull.

Before arriving, she suddenly comes on a clearing she didn't sense before now, with people in it she didn't sense. They are wearing American Pioneer era clothing and a necklace of a leather string tied to a natural crystal. The crystal starts glowing as soon as Mein enters the clearing. The people yell, "Verserscum! IT'S A VERSERSCUM! KILL IT!" and they begin chasing after her, aiming with their guns to kill.

She used ice magic to create a fog in the air and glamor to create several illusions of herself, while making a few of the people look like her as well, while she made herself look like one of the people she made look like her. If there is only one person with a crystal she tries to use a charm to make one of there attacks hit it.... a bit harder to do if there more than one though >.>

They're all wearing the crystal. Her fog and glamour confuse the humans enough that they panicked and run away after accidentally killing one of their own.

They go to the left, the tugging sensation is straight ahead.

She animates the body and looks over the gun and the crystal. She was familiar with a fire arm but there was many kinds, and the crystal she examined magically.

It's a muzzleloading Flintlock long rifle, and there were a few six-shooters as well.

The crystal glows in her presence, reacting to something in her. That's all it does, though, as far as she can tell for now.

((Also, animated the body how? It works, though.))

Necromancy, though likely with her own fae twist on it.

She takes it all and shrinks it down to store it away for later, maybe she could combine the six-shooter and the flitlock rifle to get a barrel loaded rifle later. Is glad people panicked and dropped there stuff though.  Gives a pair of guns to the zombie and follows along behind it.

She mused if she could figure out what the crystals detected she could make something nifty with them. Also they seamed agitated around her so they where giving off power or least light in her presence and that was useful.

((I got that part, I mean how as in by what method? Such as,
-reattaching the soul to the body in an enslaved state,
-reattaching the spirit energy to the body to use the soulless spirit energy to power movement,
-using her own spirit energy to enliven the cells and enslave the body as an extension of herself,
-binding an available disembodied spirit to the body
-using magic energy as the body's new enslaved spirit
-some other means))

Following the tugging "that-way" sensation, she eventually comes upon a little boy with a purple, blue and red birthmark over his right eye. He isn't wearing a crystal. He is dirty, starving and weak, but he tries to run from her and the zombie.

EDIT: He's carrying a child's practice bow and some arrows, dressed in tattered swim-trunks.

((Magic that animates the body with out using a soul in this case, mindless undead))

Smirks some "My my my what do we have here, are you the one calling me child?"

Confronted, he draws his tiny bow in defiance, and says, "I don't know what you're talking about. Your the one pulling me suddenly out of nowhere."

He notices the glowing crystal (to far too be that activated by him) and lowers his bow, questioning, "You a Verserscum too?"

She telleports behind him leaning over him to dangle the crystal in front of him, though leaves an illusion of her behind to talk for her to make it look like she cloned herself or something. "Oh...?   Whats this."  The her bedside his head says. "Verserscum?"

The crystal glows brighter being so close to both of them.

The boy points to the crystal, "Verserscum proximity warning. They dig them up everywhere here. You and I are Verserscum, so everyone all hates us."

The illusion disapears and she frowns some, kinda wanting to play with the kid but the kid wasn't doing anything she could validate playing with him..... well not really... he wasn't answering her but she wasn't sure that was enough.... maybe if he keep it up.

"That don't really explain to me what Verserscum is.... you name things and exspect the world to know the meanings of your names when your names do not say there meanings....  why bind something is such a way when one has to pry out the nature of it anyway?"

The boy gets angry, "I don't know! I just want a friend! How am I supposed to know why everyone hates me? I was minding my own business at Summercamp, hiking on the trails when a freak storm hit. I just want a friend! I pulled out my phone to video the cool wind when I was struck by lightning. It didn't hurt much, though. But when I woke up, I couldn't find the trails anywhere, and everyone I meet hated me and called me Verserscum! I just want a friend!"

How uncouth to yell at her.... oh but a friend how fun. "A friend you say? Lets make you one!"

She will fly over and around the zombie and try and summon it's soul back into it's body to make it an intelligent undead. Even if this means dragging the soul from where it's passed on to if it has, which yes will make for a horrible sort if it was some where pleasant though for some one gunning down strangers..... eh.... "I've always wanted to try something under that bores control."

If she's not able to draw the soul back into it she just pouts and goes "oh poo... well so much for that idea...." and gives the corpse a good kick.

If she is the first thing she dose while is command it to tell her his name not even giving the poor sob time to come to terms with whats going on. Then getting flustered and responding "no no no your real name... your true name." if they respond with a brith name.

"You mean you'll be my friend? Will you really? My friend!?"


*Rolls*
The soul of the recently departed man hasn't even fully left the body, so snapping it back in place wasn't hard at all.

"Wait, I'm confused, I feel compelled to obey you. My name is Georg-

"Gorgo"

The boy says, "Hi, Gorgo, I'm El. Are you going to try to kill me?"

"I bind you Gorgo, and compel you live and be this childs friend by the call of your true name." She smiles weaving a bit of everything into this... necromancy, name magic, and fae magics, she tried to resurrect him and compel him to a new bonded life. If it actually worked he would decently be twisted into some dark fae mockery of his living form with od traits. Likely some monstrous ones as she has never tried anything like this before.

Gorgo's body twists and pops and bones break and reform as his body compacts his mass until he is the same size as the boy, El.

Gorgo's eyes well up with tears as he observes the face of El with awe and devotion. In his childhood, he looked up to his bigger brother, who died saving him from an attack by an evil man and woman who wanted to use his pain.

El's eyes go wide, and he cries a little, saying, "Are you okay, Gorgo?"

But Gorgo has already forgotten the pain he was in, "Shucks, Elly, I sure am! Say, wanna go fishin'?"

Just then, a line of flame about 100 feet out in every direction bursts up almost at the same time. The wind picks up, blowing the smoke higher, and pulling air in from every direction to create a sudden low-pressure zone centering on them and drawing the fire ever faster toward the center.

Smiles "Oh goody it worked!" she frowns a little at the flash of flames and countered it with a burst of ice hoping the cold would not only put out the flames but stop the winds. Then she looked around to see what had caused the flames and if they where under attack, or if this was some kinda side affect to the twisted magics she did.

They were under attack by the townsfolk who had surrounded them. At the presence of Ice, a number of their kind dressed in black hold out swords, and a black aura leaves the ice, melting it instantaneously. Then they point their swords at Einselb and hundreds of ice spheres the size of cannon balls fly in her direction.

Uses magic to control the ice, stooping it in mid air. (hopefully) She luaghs and produices Masa, tossing it to Gorgo. "These folks seam to want to play... why don't you oblige them child...." This could be fun, what wonderful things did her magics do to this soldier turned .... well she didn't know what it was turned but it sure looked like a human child, she knew thats not what it was but here was a chance to get some insight more to what it had become.

She waved her hand the spheres becoming spears of ice and she sent them back of the ones dressed in black who sent them.

Gorgo the partially resurrected companion of El grabs the sword out of the air and takes off running like Naruto into the fray, slicing and hacking at the villagers like a demon. He is silent, dark and fast, stronger than 100 full grown men with skin as tough as steel.

Most of the dark mages manage to melt the spikes before they're hit - a few teleport out of the way, and a few are impaled. While impaled, most manage to melt the ice and heal themselves but a few were impaled through their heads and didn't have time to heal.

Some others dressed in white step forward and send out streams of flame toward Einselb and Gorgo. The flames bounce off of Gorgo.

The black mages who recovered first serve a dark beam at the fire which enhances the stream into a jet-engine strength flame. That intense flame causes Gorgo to catch fire on his arm, but he keeps fighting and evading the flames.
