ooc: First post for Unknown, then open.
ic: It was in the late afternoon when Forgoil Halifirien finally came to. There was a sharp, throbbing pain in his head and when he tried to lift himself up his muscles refused to budge at first. But when his body finally decided to cooperate with him, he shakily rose to his feet and staggered toward the nearest thing that he could lean on. Placing his hand on the slab of cold granite, it took the wizard awhile to realize where he was but when the grey-haired man did he was terrified. Surrounded by graves, Halifirien tried desperately to run toward the exit when the throbbing in his head suddenly intensified and he dropped to his knees.
It was about this time that he realized that the only thing he had on him was his wand: he must've lost his clothing in his haste to apperate away from Sylph. Stark naked and horrified, Halifirien tried to crawl to the nearest gravestone and lift himself up, but he was too weak from the jump and collapsed. Pounding his free hand into the dirt next to him, Forgoil stared angrily at the afternoon sky and shouted, "What is it that ya want from me! I lived as ya ask me ta, but yer still not telling me what it is ya want me ta do: what does it take ta get rid of ya!"
How the nameless dark wizard, the Shadow with no name, managed to intrude upon school grounds relatively unnoticed as often as he did was just as unknown as the man's name. As in the case of Forgoil, though, his actual presence in the graveyard was up to debate. His hold on the Defense Against Dark Arts teacher was strong, even without the presence of his ring.
So, as the grey haired Scot stared up into the afternoon sky, which was slowly becoming shrouded by grey clouds, the nameless Shadow seemed to sneak up behind him, a cruel smile on his pale face. He held his long, ashen wand in one hand, his right, while his other hand's fingers traced along it, feeling the intricate and delicate carving of the snake as it wrapped around the handmade tool.
"Master Halifirien," he spoke, "please, put on some clothes."
He pointed his wand at the Scot and a black mist poured out of its tip. It swirled around Forgoil and formed into a generic, black, scholarly robe.
"And now that you are clothed, we may talk. You have seen what I can do, Master Halifirien. You know what I am capable of. You would be wise to do the tasks I require of you to do, or else I will simply dispose of you and find a new vessel for my use."
He expected some retaliation from the professor, and he was ready to deflect any spell sent out at him, if he was even really there at all.
"I know that you are aware of your comrades power. Your headmaster and even your lovely Sylph wield a power that I am currently unable to use. It is the power known as 'Elementalism'. While I am superior to your comrades and, obviously," he said with a sneer, "superior to you in the art of magic which I have practiced since the times before Abraham in every way, this skill gives the practitioner a handicap. It is unfair, Master Halifirien.
"So, it will be your task to do this for me in exchange for your safety and that of your lover: Discover the art of Elementalism. Discover how I may obtain it and assist me in any way you can in doing so. Bring to me the books of Elementalism that Talon Windwaltz has in his possession. Complete these tasks within the next three nights and meet with me. I will find you when you call for me again."

He heard his voice, but Forgoil was too terrified to turn to face the other wizard until he noticed the black mist swirling around his body. Shouting out with panic the Scotsman tried to brush away the mist, but it soon became a much more common material and formed into a robe around his naked form. Still shivering, more from fear than being exposed like that, Forgoil slowly turned to face the being and the teacher's eyes widened when he heard what it was that the Unknown One wanted.
"No, I can't possibly do that," said Forgoil as his voice trembled and he tried to get a grip on himself, but just being in the presence of this man invoked that response. "I've never seen those books before in the Library, not even in the Restricted Section, so that means that they must be kept somewhere else. Which means that Talon probably has them and if I tried ta take them from him...I'm not strong enough ta fight against him! He'd zap me within a second if he realized what I was tryin' ta do, and worse I think he already suspects that there is something wrong with me: so he would be prepared for such an event!"
Starting to pace back and forth a little, Forgoil's mind was reeling as he tried thinking straight but any ration thoughts were driven out of his head as Unknown's words recycled themselves in his cerebellum: 'exchange for your safety and that of your lover'. Halifirien knew that if Rezna ever got in trouble that Talon would do anything to help her, but would he understand if Forgoil did everything within his power to keep Sylph from this wizard? He had already tried fighting back against this being and that was what got him into this position in the first place. If he had to get those books...
"I need more time," demanded Forgoil as he tried to stand his ground with Unknown, "I need ta make sure that he doesn't doubt me enough that he might've moved them...and once that part is known ta me..."
