Oh no
Multi-chaptered fic idea incoming. Mourn Watch Rook decides that she wants to join Emmrich in lichdom. For twenty-five years she studies and prepares for the ritual
The other lich lords refuse to let Emmrich judge if she is worthy, rightfully declaring that he is too close to the situation to see clearly. But after enough time, they say she is ready to join them as a lich
Rook only has one request: that Emmrich is the one to server her soul from her body. Which he accepts immediately, because he wouldn't trust his love's life to anyone else
But then it goes wrong
Rook dies in the ritual and doesn't attain lichdom. She doesn't even become half lich. She is dead
And the Necropolis is about to find out just how far a lich lord is willing to go to bring his lover back to life
