"Aikara,Its time you unlock your Grim Reaper powers."Mother says taking me to the deep part of an alleyway."Why isn't Hiro here?"I question,snatching my hand away."Heh,You've noticed by now.Hiro's getting weaker by the day.He need rest til he dies."She says refusing to look at me."BUT HE'S NOT GOING TO DIE!I'LL MAKE SURE OF IT!"I yell."That's impossible.You boys were to have never existed in the first place."She slapped me so hard.I place my hand on the red spot and stared at her."W-what do you mean 'never existed in the first place'? "I asked taking a step back.She sighs."Your father is a demon.Demons and Grim Reaper are enemies,complete opposite.It's impossible for a demon to have a Grim Reaper child nor a Grim Reaper to have a demon child.The child would die due to lack of food.But somehow you two came into being and survived.I don't know how but you guys did,make a miracle."She smiles rubbing her hand against my cheek.She turns towards a mirror and starts drawing something on it,mumbling.The mirror ripples and a keyhole appears in the glass.She pulls out a skull shape key,placing in the hole ahe turns it to hear a 'click' sound.A gate glimmer in its place causing me to leap back in defense."Come on,let's go." she sighs at my action. "Where does it go?" I demand  stomping my foot down. "I can tell you're going to be a difficult child,aren't you?.Sigh.This leads to my world,a world I created." she explains with a hint of annoyance walking through the gate.I kicked a rock,stuffing my hands in my pocket before walking after her. "Tch,so what if I am." I grumble placing my hood over my head to cover the blood staining the tips of my hair.

Inside I find myself in a hallway full of distorted mirrors.Some parts of the walls grew eyes...creepy.The painting on the wall felt like they were...watching me,But whatever. I continue walking with a bored expression painted on my face."Where did mom go?"I ponder walking towards a door at the end of the hall.Opening it,leads me to a open forest with floating trees and some larges rocks swirling into a storm.'Ping!'I starts to get a feeling and I leap as high as I could.I look down to see a large explosion coming from a scythe.The one holding the weapon,my mom.She rested the staff part on her shoulder as I land on a tree branch. "Nice so you sensed my energy.Good boy." she grins.She disappear and I quickly pull out the dagger in my side belt.Before I was able to fully pull it out,my eyes stare at the scythe blade to my neck."But you still need work," she says,floating in the air for a bit,slowly landing unto the branch. "Tch,You think you scare me with that.I'm not afraid of death." I grunt snapping my head to the left. "Uh?I see." she says whipping her weapon to its resting place on her shoulder.She does a back flip off the tree and lands on the ground with grace and without a sound except for the landing air that pushed outward as she makes contact with the ground. "Lesson one of a Grim Reaper.Symmetry and Balance." she starts."Ha.How does symmetry and Balance help me?" I grunt.She snaps her fingers,causing the tree to shake and fall one way. "Make that tree balance."she says turning away."WAHHH!!!WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!" I yell scrambling to the center of the tree.It was stable for a minute,until I give a sigh of relief...blowing the tree down a cliff along with me.I ride on the top like a surfboard as I try to navigate through the sharp jagged rocks.

The end of the line,up ahead were a wall made of large rocks,damnit.As I crash,I was sent flying towards the sharp point of rocks but a flying skull catches me annd flies towards my mom who was sitting on a rock. "See,balence meets a lot to nature.Without it,the world will go t chaos." she explains. "What?Why does this matter to you.All you do kill people,right?!" I shout standing up. "No that's not all I do.I kill the dead that refuse to die and take their soul to the spirit world.Keeping the balnce of the living and dead.Now get it through that ignorant little head of yours." she snaps at me.I stop right there and didn't say another word. "Right now on to the lesson." she continues.
