"This is a good idea, lets go."
"Princess, this is a terrible idea, lets not."
"It's day! DAY! Ghosts only show up at night."
"I strongly advise we just go on our way."
"Well, I won't leave before investigating that cemetery."
The guards seem angry, but at the end of the day they do what the princess say.
"Fine. We have to be careful though."
We gallop towards the cemetery and within a few hours we arrive there. The weather is pleasant enough, only memories remain of the night's cold.
Approaching an old rusty gate which lies half opened, we enter the cemetery and start wandering around the graves. After much wandering we locate a mausoleum. We can hear sounds of wailing coming from inside.
The princes just strolls into the mausoleum.
"Princess, be careful it could be a trap!"
"It's okay, it's okay. We are friends. Why are you crying?", you hear she say within the mausoleum.
You then hear a piercing shriek.
The princess falls to the ground in front of the mausoleum.
"Princess!", the guards scream as they run towards her.
The doors of the mausoleum fling open.
Inside there is a casket and hovering on top of the casket there is a girl in a dress. However there is something strange going on with her. She seems to be blinking back and forth between a corporeal form and a ghost form.
"Go away! GO AWAY!", she screams.
"We only want to help.", you say.
"Help? I am DEAD. I'm beyond help."
"You mean... this casket... is it yours?"
"I... I don't know... I don't remember..."
She bursts into crying again. Then the sun touches her.
She pulls herself away from the sun like it has burnt her.
And maybe it did.
"You... can't be in the sun right?"
She looks at you, pausing her crying. She just shakes her head meaning yes and resumes crying.
Under the worried gaze of the guards, the princess gets back up.
"Goddamnit that was a strong screech little banshee."
The girl-ghost laughs a nervous laughter, still amidst tears.
"I wish I could help you but I don't know what to do."
"Then just leave. Even if the sun destroys me I just wake up back here again every night."
"But why are you blinking between material and incorporeal?"
"I... I don't know. It started recently."
"What about the rest of the undead, where are they?"
"They stopped rising awhile ago. Only the shadows come out of the grave at night. No zombies."
"It must be very lonely to live surrounded by zombies."
"Bad with them, worse without them."
"We heard rumours about necromancers."
"Yes, they come here now and then. Haven't showed up in a week though. I miss them."
"What do they do exactly?"
"Oh, they teach each other dark magic and raise weird undead. They also bring me news of the world outside the graveyard."
