Phylactery

As memories flooded his mind, Zian Yi finally understood many things about his existence. He remembered his human past and how he had become an undead—a creature that defied the flow of the world and sought destruction for its own growth. He saw how he died and what had happened before that. He understood who his enemies were and what he had to do to them.

He remembered his feelings, and the moment he did, his mind opened up to emotions. The power of the tribulation continued coursing through his being, making him feel like a small boat in a raging storm. He thought he was human, yet he also knew it was all in the past. His confusion grew with each passing second, and with this confusion came a flaw in his existence. He could feel his mind mending and fracturing itself simultaneously. If this continued, his mind would completely fall apart, and he would be left a mindless creature whose only goal would be to feast on humans.
