There is only one notable event in the life of Cyras DeValera, the day he was killed on the battlefield in Samara and was simultaneously resurrected.. At the Siege of Samara, Cyras was killed. Numerous Brigadiers saw him die, his bloody body was drug back to the Brigade`s lines by his horse before it too fell over and died.. "Awaken, Cyras", the voice called again. I opened my eyes and was startled at what I saw. Before me, a plane of darkness on all sides. Strangely illuminated from everywhere, it seemed more gray now that I had time to digest it all. "About damned time."
