History:
In the same time Merlin's name was known throughout the lands as a great wizard there was one child that didn't think so. Her name was Necrocilla Van Derest, orphaned when she was five years old. A miss aimed spell from Merlin's own hands killed her parents who had thrown themselves at the girl to protect her from the spell. As Merlin tried to comfort the girl and explain to her that it had been a misunderstanding there was one thing she began to feel and that was hatred towards Merlin.
Merlin was going to leave her with her uncle, until a small spark struck Merlin in his leg. It wasn't enough to hurt him but it was enough to know that leaving this girl, who was clearly talented with magic, behind with her uncle would not be wise. Instead he took Necrocilla under his wing wanting to teach her how to control the magic she possessed.
Necrocilla looked up at the man that had killed her parents, she had been wondering for some time that if magic could heal people and create such destruction couldn't she try something a little different.
"Merlin, if I learn from you I can bring back my parents can't I?"
"My dear, there is no magic spell that can bring back your parents. Its forbidden."
That scene stayed with Necrocilla and she was going to learn this forbidden magic. Behind Merlin's back she had obtained books and scrolls which explained how to bring small animals and plants back to life. When Merlin went out and didn't return for several weeks Necrocilla continued to study and make alterations to spells. She was becoming really talented in the forbidden art.
For 15 years she studied with Merlin and studied the forbidden art, however the day that Merlin found out was the day he gave the forbidden magic a name. He called it Necromancy, naming it after Necrocilla for her betrayal in his trust. Necrocilla left Merlin, swearing that the next time they met she would steal his very soul from his body. Merlin erased all notes and history books that involved him and Necrocilla, as he did not wish to be involved with the forbidden art.
10 years passed and during that time Necrocilla had gotten many other people interested in the new art of Necromancy. She had guidelines and rules, if they were broken then the Necromancer would find himself living an eternity of suffering, she would pull out his very soul and let it linger in limbo until she saw fit to send the soul on.
Rule 1: If someone has passed away and you wish to bring them back you have 48hrs after the death to do so, otherwise they will come back wrong.
Rule 2: In no way is one Necromancer allowed to seal another Necromancer's soul, this is punishable by eternal unrest.
Rule 3: New spells are not to be tried, research is needed for your own safety. This endangers others, punishable by eternal unrest.
Many other rules were in place to protect others as well as those conducting the spells, Necrocilla didn't want a miss aimed spell to hit someone else’s parents and make them an orphan. During those ten years Necrocilla developed new spells, ones of sickness, soul stealing and capturing as well as communicating with those already on the other side. She was also responsible for making the three unforgivable spells that are still used today.
It was also this time that Necrocilla had heard of Merlin's death. She cried for a whole day, regretting not being able to avenge her parents deaths and not being able to kill Merlin herself. After she cried she left her damp dark cave and visited Merlin's grave, it had been a private ceremony so only few would know of his demise. Digging up his grave she found his coffin and began to mumble words, Merlin would be her 10th person revived.
As Merlin rose from his grave he saw the same woman that had betrayed him years ago stand before him. She had not changed much, if anything she had gained a wrinkle or two from the years that had passed by. He cursed her for bringing him back and she only smiled and replied: "This was better than stealing your soul, Necromancy saved you and you'll live in shame for the rest of your life."
That life did no last very long as Merlin and Necrocilla began to battle, a battle that was short lived for Merlin's sake. However in his last breath he cursed Necrocilla, never would her blood line have a baby girl unless she came back herself and that would cause the mother to die. Necrocilla had only brought Merlin back to kill him a battle that was only written down in Necrocilla's journal not in the history books.
Necrocilla never married, instead she had a b**tard son, the father was a Necromancer however was only a follower and his name was never taken down in Necrocilla's journal. She called her son Tabias Van Derest and the reason she did not marry was so her last name would carry out through the ages.
As Necrocilla lay in her death bed she wrote down her final thoughts.
I Necrocilla Van Derest have lived my life without regret, I stood to what I believed to be right and in that stand I have gathered those who wish to live by my law. I am honoured to be surrounded by so loyal followers and my son is one of them. I have left instruction so he will be tutored after my passing and that he will be my successor. However, the name of Van Derest will forever be made by men as Merlin has cursed me, but I intend to return one day and I will prove to the rest of the world when the time calls for it that Merlin was wrong, Necromancy can be used for good or evil, it depends on the person who knows the art.
Farewell and long may the name Van Derest live on.
As decades passed Necromancy was banned and erased from the history books, Necromancers were being hunted down and killed just for practising the art. The leader who was a descendant from Necrocilla called all followers forth and they fled to another land. They fled to the country now known as Australia but not before leaving a couple of clues that Necromancers might return, one spell they left behind in England was the Horcruxes.
Spells
Most spells are like rituals, certain things must be done before one can bring back someone. To bring life back no wands or staffs can be used, one has to rely on their own power to do this. If one is not prepared they will become undead themselves and they will receive no rest when this happens.
Spells that involve sickness and such do involve wands, however there is no fancy way to wave the wand just simply point it at the subject and say the words. Necromancers have their own language as well as knowing common tongue, so if an outsider heard the spell being said they would not truly understand what it truly does.
The blood line of Van Derest has but one ability that no other Necromancer can acquire through hard training, seeing and hearing spirits. They are spirits that do not wished to be seen and yet the Van Derest blood line can. It can be overwhelming for young Van Derest's the hardest time is between 14-18 years old.
Necrocilla Sylis Van Derest's History
In 1991, Kailen and Sylis gave birth to a baby girl. It was known that the blood line of Van Derest were forever cursed to have boys. The news of a baby girl being born from the Van Derest blood line was a cause for celebration. Even when born she had a dark patch of black hair and her eyes were a dark brown, almost black. In remembrance of the first Necromancer, they named her Necrocilla Sylis Van Derest the Second. However Sylis did not have much time with her newly born, she died holding her baby in her arms, it was then that Kailen realised that the price for having a baby girl was his wife's live. He tried many times to bring her back however there was stronger magic at work keeping Sylis from returning to her body.
At the age of five, Necrocilla began learning necromancy, just like the first, she was talented in magic and was keen on learning everything she could for her age. People believed she was Necrocilla herself reincarnated, rumours began to flutter around the city that she would help her people go back to the surface. However, even if Cilla was the reincarnation of Necrocilla the first, she had no memory of that life and believed she wasn't Necrocilla the first.
It was at this time her older brother Cyrus was foolish and left the city for one night, he caused a scene with some muggles that were camping in the area. Upon his return, he and his father began to argue, Necrocilla stood in the door way and listened to the argument, it’s the very same argument that caused father and son to go their separate ways. Of course Cyrus continued to live in the main tower but the only time father and son would talk was when it was business or when Necrocilla was in the same room.
A year after Kailen's son had foolishly gone to the surface he was approached by the MoM. It seemed the situation had changed and the MoM was now back in control, they explained that they would need to evaluate the city and see what would happen. It was after the MoM left that Kailen pushed for Cilla to learn more, he wanted her to even best him.
In the MoM this matter of Necromancers being alive stayed in discussion for ten long years, during this time Necrocilla became an insomniac, studying almost all the time and would only get a few hours sleep after three to four days. Cilla's childhood was a good one, at lease for a Necromancer it was a good one. She would attend the balls that celebrated each season, she would mingle at gatherings and take part in the council meetings. She learn more politics and how to get what she wanted by looking at her brother and father. Her knowledge in necromancy was almost as good as her father's, she could conjure a spirit that was stuck in limbo to her side and had begun learning on how to send them to the other side, giving them peace when the MoM came back. The verdict had been given and it was decided that the city could stay as it was for the time being however any child between the age of 11 and 17 would have to attend a Magical school. In other words to Lord Kailen, Necromancy would soon fade out as the younger generation would get a taste of different magic.
Necrocilla was one of the first to received a letter of acceptance, it was from Hogwarts. Kailen confronted Necrocilla of his thoughts of what the MoM was going to do and hearing her father's thoughts she guessed as much as well. As Necrocilla packed her bags to head out to Hogwarts two questions began to rise in her mind....
Would she prove to the rest of the magical society that Necromancy was not a forbidden art and could be used for good? Or would she turn and help the darker side to make sure the culture of her people was secure and that the legend of Necromancy would live on?
