Reaper Parade

Mal'ach Ha'Mavett

Golden News Report:
On 1st November 2012, a boy named Adam Lysander, who was at the age of 16 was kidnapped by a group of criminals at Bakers police headquarters last night, luckily there were zero casualties. The polices will soon investigate and find out who the criminals are.

Adam perspective:

We have been travelling on the motorcycle from last night till morning. I'm tired as fuck! We crossed the highway bridge between Eden City and County City. I tried to ask the woman where we were going a few times but she just ignored me.

After 30 minutes, we arrived at Eden City, we went into a housing area. The destination we arrived at was a mansion. The colours of the mansion were all white. It has three floors and a garden at the front. I'm kind of jealous.

The red-haired woman spoke to me

"Adam, you gonna look forward to this boy. Let head in straight away."(Red-haired woman)

"Why are we here though? Why did you bring me here? Can you please tell me"(Adam)

She pats on my head and gives a wide smile.

"Don't worry kiddo. I'm not here to sell you or anything. Just brought you here to see an old friend. Now, let go in."

I was reluctant with her decision but I followed anyway. The gate opens automatically and we entered straight away. The garden was on the left and right. The middle section was just a small path for us to walk into the mansion. The garden was filled with beautiful flowers. I wish I can have a garden outside my house one day.

Once we arrived at the doorsteps, a woman who has black short hair with glasses wearing a maid outfit came out of the door to greet us.

"Good morning Ms Riley Sera. Our master has expected your arrival. Please come in. Sorry to say, there are no other guests other than Ms Riley, so sir may you stay outside?"(The maid)

" Huh? So what do I do? "(Adam)

"It okay, Sarah. I'm sure Shiro told you about the candidates. This boy is one of them so he can join in."
(Riley Sera)

"Oh, I understand. Both of you may enter."(Sarah the maid)

I was confused. I am a candidate? For what? Before I could make a sound Riley stopped me.

"No questions until we enter. You will find out once we meet him "(Riley Sena)

I shut my mouth and followed them in. The walls were filled with paintings and statues. I wonder how much money this man has in his pocket.

After walking up the stairs, we entered a room. A man who I think was is in his 40s was drinking tea. He has white hair and a white beard. His eyes were grey. He was wearing a white bathrobe. This man must love the colour white.
He greeted us happily.

" Welcome, Riley! It has been so long I haven't seen you. And is that our precious candidate?"(Shiro Mizushima)

"Yeah Shiro, you got that right! This little kid is our candidate. That's what we gonna discuss. "(Riley Sera)

The white-haired man nods and lets us sit on the sofa.

"So what was the organisation proposal?" (Shiro Mizushima)

"They want you to train him. You're the oldest assassin in the organisation so I'm sure he can turn out great. His name is Adam Lysander. I think he is 15? His mother died in the bomb accident that was set up by Synder last night so you know revenge yadda yadda"(Riley Sera)

I was shocked and I felt offended. She got my age wrong and she was giving a face that was looking down on me. I couldn't stand it so I stood up for myself.

" Hey! My mother died because of him. I'm gonna make him pay! So don't mock me!" (Adam)

She glanced at me and laughs

"Hahaha, yeah sure. Forget the revenge. You'll have a better life if you forget it. How bout joining us ?"(Riley Sera)

I was flustered at the way she laughed. She was obviously mocking me.

"Shut it! I'm not joining you! I only want to kill him "(Adam)

" Calm down Mr Adam, Riley was giving you advice. Synder is dangerous. No person hunted him left without any scars. Even our organisation need to take precautions against him" (Shiro Mizushima)

"So what. You're telling me to give up? Like hell I'll give up!"(Adam)

The air around us was tensed. Everyone was silent while staring at me. Shiro put down his cup and asked me.

"Let move on to another topic. Mr Adam, you don't know why are you here right?" (Shiro Mizushima)

"Yes, why am I here. Why are you guys calling me a candidate?"(Adam)

"Let me tell you..."(Shiro Mizushima)

I blinked my eyes once and Shiro disappears. He reappears and punched my chest. The impact made me throw up. I drop onto the floor and was struggling to breathe. I tried to ask for help but I couldn't make a sound. I stared at Riley and tried to reach her with my hands for help but she stood up and walked away to exit the room. I looked behind and saw Shiro looking down on me with his grey eyes.

With a gentle smile, he said,

"Mr Adam, we are the Reaper Parade. We are here to recruit you to join us and become one of the candidates to wield the power of  Mal'ach Ha'Mavett."(Shiro Mizushima)

My vision got blurry and I felt like my heart stopped. Soon, I went unconscious.
