Virde's Cat hopped down from the hole in the ceiling of their place of refuge, deep in the ratway.

The Necromancer looked more like death than usual, a feet the cat deemed impossible until now. He shivered, furiously in his sleeping bag, gritting what was left of his teeth as the disease shot through him.

He lay in the dim light, enjoying what little warm the meager lamp could offer him. The flickering flames haunted his dreams, taking him back to various, long since abandoned points in his life.

The cat had placed the giant's toe by his side, prompting the necromancer to slowly open his eyes and glare at it.

"Did she see you take it?" Virde asked, wondering if that caused the delay.

"No, she told me to keep it." The Cat answered, dragging the ingredients over, one at a time.

"I promised to pay for it, when you're on your feet."

"Good..." Virde wheezed, snatching what was left of the ingredients and putting them in his alchemy set.

"You should have had Kyrisa do it, she's a much better alchemist than you and she also isn't dying of some horrific affliction!"

"She can't know this formula, no one can." Virde winced, matching it into pieces with what little strength he had left.

"You told me the ingredients." The Cat pointed out, slowly circling Virde as he watched what he was doing.

"I gave you half, I got the rest, whilst you were out." Virde grumbled, getting the cat to look up, indignantly.

"How are you so untrusting!?" The Cat snapped, putting his paw down.

"I live with you! If I wanted to betray you, I could have years ago!"

"Jeez, don't be such a drama queen, I didn't think you would betray me, I thought you would probably do nothing with it but I gotta take this formula with me, to the grave!"

"For someone who just called me a drama queen, that was pretty dramatic, yknow." The cat observed, watching as Virde filled an alchemy bottle with the paste.

Without even letting the concoction settle, Virde necked it in its entirety. He immediately gasped and began to shake and spasm, gasping as his joints repeatedly locked up and he fell on his back, convulsing.

"Oh jeez! Wh-whats happening!?" The Cat asked,prancing around his violently shaking head.

"Are you dying? Is it working!? D-Do you need something!?"

"I need you... To shut up..." Virde gasped before his back suddenly arched, causing the cat to hop back and have his fur stand up on end.

With a gasp, Virde went limp, collapsing in a heap on the floor.

With one final exhale, all signs of life had left him...
