Basically, I'm running low on imagination; I want to play, and I liked Kefirka's build, but copying it 100% is boring, so I'll copy it 95% x) And yeah, shadowverse farewa.

Hino Hikaru


Hikaru had no idea how lucky he was to be born in Onozuka. His parents were scholars and kept an extensive library at home, so from childhood, Hikaru spent more time with books than with people. He was very interested in magic, and although spells were now much harder to cast than described in the old books, the boy managed to learn a few things and experienced indescribable delight when he launched his first fireball. His parents did not interfere with their son, only asking him to practice somewhere far from the library. Hikaru found this suggestion reasonable and began going outside the city every day, taking books, magic stones, and a couple of sandwiches, having found a lovely glade for training. There, he met a homeless puppy of a purebred noble breed. Naturally, there was no question of taking a mutt home, but whenever Hikaru stepped out the door, the dog was right there. The beast greedily devoured whatever treats the boy brought for him, let himself be petted, and responded to the name Kiba. The hardest part for Hikaru was training him to stop chasing fireballs, but he managed that too.
Time passed; Hikaru grew up, and his four-legged companion grew old. The youth had to think about where to settle in his adult life. He could have followed in his parents' footsteps, but his heart longed for adventure. Hikaru was a smart guy and understood perfectly well that a pampered city dweller, which he was, wouldn't last a week on the road, so he wasn't in a rush to leave. On the other hand, the history of Ertenia was of particular interest, and Hikaru always enjoyed reading descriptions of events from ancient times. But at the same time, he hesitated until the last moment and delayed his decision to seriously pursue the sciences...
One day, while Hikaru was resting in his favorite glade with Kiba, he heard a piercing woman's scream from the forest. Without wasting a second, the youth clenched a couple of stones in his fist and rushed toward the sound.
The screaming girl was sitting in a tree. Beneath her prowled two eerie creatures; seeing them, Hikaru remembered why all decent parents strictly forbade children from going into the forest. Onozuka was far from the epicenter of the catastrophe, but its echoes could be found even in this peaceful and prosperous land. For example, monsters like these, which might have once been wolves or bears. And right now, these creatures were clearly not opposed to dining on human flesh.
Without thinking twice, Hikaru launched a fireball at them. One creature was killed instantly; the second, tucking its smoldering tail, fled deep into the forest.
The girl climbed down from the tree. She looked embarrassed and slightly irritated, sharply refused the help Hikaru offered, and was already about to leave.
- You could at least say thank you, - the youth said, sounding a bit offended, - I think I just saved your life.
- Well, thanks, you didn't have to remind me, - the girl huffed, - I could have handled it myself, as if it were a big deal. Two mutant wolves.
- Is that exactly why you climbed a tree and screamed? - Hikaru inquired snidely.
- Where on earth did you even come from! - the stranger flared up. - Do you even know who I am?! I am, for your information, a battle mage of the Order of the Verge, and I am on an important mission! And you, you, brainless city... WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!
- A powerful battle mage - conqueror of trees, - Hikaru managed to squeeze out, shaking with laughter. Then, having finished laughing, he added: - Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Your reputation will remain intact.
- I would be very grateful, - the girl replied coldly. - I assume you can lead me to your settlement.
- Only on one condition.
- Now what?
- You stop looking at me as if I owe you a bag of gold.
On the way, the girl became more talkative - reluctantly at first, but then with great enthusiasm. Her name was Inga, and she really was a battle mage of the Order of the Verge - although a rather young and inexperienced one. The Order had sent her to these lands with a mission to clear the forest of monsters, but Inga had spent all her stones and found herself in a rather awkward position. And although Hikaru had saved her life, she couldn't help but be angry with him for catching her in such a state.
Hikaru listened to her with glowing eyes. The Order of the Verge seemed like a very tempting organization where even a bookworm like him could find a place. Moreover, long-awaited adventures lay ahead, and perhaps a chance to apply his fire magic skills. Therefore, before Inga could finish her story, the youth began trying to join her company. The girl resisted for a while, but mostly for show - after all, there had never been a woman's heart in the world that could resist a brave guy who came to the rescue.
Hikaru's parents did not take his decision to leave very positively, but they didn't try to hold him back and even helped him pack properly for the journey. And so, a couple of days later, Hikaru and Inga, who had replenished her supply of stones, set off. Faithful Kiba followed his master, and neither he nor his new friend objected to the company.
The journey was long; during their wanderings, the pair made a living by hunting mad mages, mutants, and other foul creatures. They managed to emerge unscathed from many scrapes; it goes without saying that Hikaru and Inga quickly became inseparable. Kiba, despite his advancing age, remained their loyal friend and helper until the very end.

The opponent was a teyosiyka - a wicked witch who had enslaved all the men in the village and demanded bloody sacrifices every day. Hikaru was forced to stay on the sidelines and simply pray that the demoness wouldn't be able to bewitch him. Inga bravely entered the fray, casting lightning. The teyosiyka launched a deadly spell in response. Inga would have been finished, but Kiba threw himself in the path of the fireball and took the hit. Inga remained unharmed, and her lightning struck down the monster... However, the faithful dog no longer cared.
- Kiba, no! - Hikaru rushed to the still-smoldering body, ignoring possible burns. - No-no-no, buddy, it can't be! How could you... - tears welled up in the youth's eyes.
- Hikaru... - Inga hesitated for a long time, but finally said: - I might be able to do something...
- Can you resurrect? - hope flared in the guy's eyes.
- No, but... Well... You probably won't like this, but...
- Just tell me, please!
- It won't be exactly a resurrection...
- Do something, anything!
- Well... alright. But I'm not sure it'll work...
Taking several stones, Inga leaned over the dog's body and began to whisper something. For a while, nothing happened; but soon Kiba slowly rose, grumbling something. His burns did not heal, and his fur continued to burn.
- You... This...
- I am a necromancer, - Inga said quietly. - A beginner, but this is just a dog...
- Kiba is not "just" a dog, and you know it perfectly well.
- Fine. A very wonderful, kind, and smart dog. And that's good. A human requires a ton of stones, and I've never tried raising people. But here... One or two stones a month to maintain, um, existence. That should be enough.
- Well... Thank you, I suppose...
Meanwhile, Kiba accepted that he would have to tread this earth a while longer and licked Hikaru on the nose.
Inga's magic did not save the dog from decay. Soon he began to smell quite bad, and his appearance became frankly gruesome. When the decay process ended and only a skeleton remained of the unfortunate dog, both Hikaru and Inga breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, Kiba remained the same dog - chewing his owners' boots, chasing sticks, and biting bandits' thighs. He even became more energetic and active, since age was no longer a hindrance. Meanwhile, giving in to Hikaru's persuasion, Inga taught him a couple of dark magic tricks and told him that the Order's fortress had many strong and experienced mages, including necromancers, who would teach magic much more effectively than she could.

There wasn't much left until the fortress of the Order of the Verge, but in another skirmish with monsters, Inga suffered serious injuries and could not go any further. The field medical kit was unable to help; Hikaru, to his shame, had never been known for a strong physique and could not carry his friend.
- Leave me and go on your own. Tell them what happened to me.
- No, Inga, I'll find someone...
- There's no point... By the time you reach the nearest settlement, I'll already be dead.
- But... You...
- Necromancy won't help me. Ironic, isn't it?
Hikaru leaned over the girl and took her hand.
- Everything will be alright...
- Take my diary... My stones... All my gear. It'll be enough to get there... get back to the road and go south... You'll make a good member of the Order.
- I just can't leave you, I have to try...
- You've learned nothing... Still the same brainless city softie, - Inga smiled tenderly. - That's why I fell in love with you.
- I love you too. I'm sorry I can't save you...
Hikaru stayed with Inga until her last breath. When the girl passed away, he buried her, took the gear as she asked, and headed south. The faithful dog followed him - now he was the only memory of his friend.

Companion

Kiba, the dog skeleton from the picture (bottom one, was too lazy to erase the top one in Photoshop). In theory, he should have some immunities to various crap and not want to eat, because he's a damn skeleton. And other various things as you see fit, because he was once a dog. You can ignore the fire from the pic, or add some resistances to it, as you see fit. In return, you figure out how to balance it; well, you definitely can't resurrect this cadaver, and raising him with necromancy is unlikely, but generally, you'll figure it out, you know best. He can be fed stones, as written in the quente, but just not too much so he isn't too greedy, otherwise I won't be able to feed him and I'll have to beg for stones from party members.
А, вот почему.
