Garyn Balvadares

Garyn sees now the figure laid out before him...it is himself. His own body, surrounded by candles as funereal incense hangs in the air. He reaches out, touching his dead body with his own hands. And he sees the body's eyes open.

And then suddenly, the thing that was dead is him. He feels himself rise from the table, heaving with unnatural breaths...and then, as a flash of light passes before him, he bolts up screaming in bed.
