About Jon Pariah
I woke up on a table.
I don't really remember anything before that. Oh, there were flashes, but most of it was either a blank, or a confused jumble. There was one image though, that stuck with me, a woman looking into my eyes and calling me "Jon".
So that's my name, Jon.
It took a while to slip out of the restraints. Someone hadn't wanted me getting up, that's for sure. I had a lot of time to look at the table. Arcane sigils, feathers, tattoo equipment, and blood. Gallons of the stuff. From the look of it, mine.
I looked around the building - carefully - for whoever had done it. I almost screamed when I caught a glimpse of someone. Haunted eyes, fresh tattoos of owls, and feathers, and eyes. Symbols I somehow knew were bindings, and protections, and preservations. Of course, it turned out it was a mirror.
I did find the "doctor" who had worked on me. He turned when I entered the room. He had one of those big doctor's plague masks shaped like a stylised bird's head. Soon as he saw me he attacked me.
I wrestled with him - he was stronger than me - and I realised he wasn't breathing, wasn't bleeding, wasn't alive. He kept trying to stab me with that mask of his, and I did something and he fell back, just a corpse.
That was the first time I used my new power. Magic. Not sure if I had it before, it came from the bindings, or from the plague.
I found out about the plague when I found the book he'd been writing in.
The doctor had been trying to cure me. Turned to magic to break the fever before I turned, and ended up binding a psychopomp into my skin through tattoos. He'd found a cure - but not soon enough to save himself, the poor bastard.
I rested for a few days, got the lay of the land outside, and I realised the spells, or whatever they were, that kept me human were just slowing the process. I might have weeks, maybe even months, but I doubted I'd make the year.
Somewhere out there is an answer. Somewhere out there is a cure. Somewhere out there is the woman who called me Jon.
Time to go find them.
