Celestine had no memory or recollection of his past life, or what anything had been like before that odd girl. He had just woken up one day in that graveyard, with some girl yelling and cheering about how something finally worked. Celestine was, of course, quite confused, and his bone ached from the prolonged rest he had been in. He sat up in his coffin, his bones cracked all over the place as he stretched. He could not understanding anything; Who he was, where he was, how he got here, or why he was even here. There had been only 1 thing he could understand, which were the girl’s words. He could somehow understand her, but he didn’t know how or why.

That girl had eventually introduced herself, her name was Lillia, and she was a Necromancer in training. Celestine was her first even slightly successful reanimation, the others ending in either failure or disaster. Lillia explained where he was and the world he was in, but it had only left him with more questions than answers. She had eventually asked for his name, and he pondered for a few, before simply responding with the fact he couldn’t remember. There was practically nothing that could provide them with any clues on his identity either, he was buried with no personal possessions, besides an empty heart locket, and his had only been marked with a generic cross made of stone. Lillia pondered for awhile, walking in circles, tapping her chin, before she triumphantly pointed her finger at him, and announced that his name would be Celestine. This announcement, however, was only met with an unenthusiastic thumbs up, much to her dismay.

Lillia eventually convinced Celestine to leave the graveyard, and had brought him to The Library of Life, though most people just refer to it as “The Library.” She introduced him to her mother, Mrs. Witch, as her “First Successful Project.” Everyone called her Mrs. Witch, even her own daughter. Mrs. Witch took Celestine under her wing, treating him as her own and giving him a job as a bookkeeper. There had been only 1 time where Celestine slipped up and called Mrs. Witch “Mother” and when he did her smile faltered, but only for a second. That was the one and only time that he had called her mother.
