Rex began to speak in a sad tone, "Three years ago, in another world where specters and apparitions haunted the streets, there occasionally lived necromancers whom could control these things to an extent. Dabbling deeper in the dark arts was dangerous, but allowed the necromancers greater power in exchange for something. Then our mother died when a wraith attacked, and Lizzie drew the circle in a desperate attempt to bring our mother back, to feel the warm embrace and the tangerine smell of her black hair. Something went wrong, as it is impossible to resurrect the dead. My body was taken as exchange and my soul was reaped, cast into the otherwordly planes. Desperate and filled with regret and sorrow, she took the nearest object she could--a skull-- and inscribed a circle into it that pulled my soul as it passed through the Planes of Undeath and the Soul Cairn, and bound it to this very skull. In exchange for the binding, Lizzie gave up the chance to bear children, and the binding also entered her soul into the Circle of Damnation, a pact in which someone's soul is gradually corrupted and eventually, is completely reaped from their body, killing the person in the process. The corruption of her soul sapped her happiness and love. Lizzie doesn't truly love you, as much as it pains me to say, but only sees it as a way to please you." he says before opening his jaw bone wide, revealing a small magic circle drawn with Lizzie's own blood and tears.
