After I dressed up, I walk alongside Leticia to the Principal Room. I'm wearing a very simple black and white dress, white high socks and black sneakers. My hair is tried on a tiny ponytail. I tried to dress up the best I could event if I don't like how I'm dressed.
I finally arrive the Principal Room entering alone since Leticia can't come in. I enter it finding Death admiring some flowers, after some time they finally notice me.
"Hello , Alexis. You are early, it's surprising to be honest. " "Ouch-" "Also no you are not in trouble I'm just going to show the person that will look after you from now on" I got closer to them kinda confused " Why would I need a caretaker? Are you saying that I won't be able to be have you as my ""adoptive parent"" ?" They look at me confused "What? No! No no no, I will continue to be the one that needs to take care of you. But, my work doesn't let me spend much time with you and..well...taking care of you. So I asked someone to look after you while I can't. And because I'm afraid you will try and go back to the Overworld." " Ohthankgodyoudon'tknowthatIwasthere" "Did you said something?" "N-No!" I say while shaking my head. They look at me and just quietly accept it.
Suddenly, the window opens and a strong wind enters the Room. I see a crow flying towards the Room and the moment it enters the Room the window closes a little stronger than usual and some vases around the window break.
" Ah Mr. Ozirafel glad you are here early. Alexis this is Mr. Ozirafel he will be your caretaker " I look at Death and then at the crown that they were pointing at " . . . Did you hit your head or something, Death? I'm pretty sure my caretaker is not a crow. Death, I think someone lied to you, I dont have time for this. " I say while walking out of the Room " I am not a crown young man. I'm a raven " I look back at the , now I know, raven and I see it transforming into a ""Human"" .
I look at him attentively. He has a short not very messy but messy black hair, his eyes are purple and he is kinda pale. He is dressed in a black and red tuxedo. If I were going to be honest he is kinda attractive.
" Okkkk thats weird, what just happened? " Death looks at me and explains his species " He is a Morphius, which means he can morph/transform into animals. He is the one who will be taking care of you. " I look at Death and then at the raven person " Pleasure to meet you, young man. I am Ozirafel and as you known I will be the one having an eye on you. Now I would like to know your name " He says while looking at me " 1. I'm non-binary which means I go by they/them,never misgender me again. It looks bad on you. 2. My name is Alexis, Al for short. And lastly " I say while standing my hand out for him " It's a pleasure to meet you Ozirafel " After I said that he takes my hand and we shake hand.
After that moment Death had to return to work but they couldn't left without hugging me and acting like a parent towards me. " She looks like a good mother. Is she your mom? " "They aren't. . . And never will. They just have the thought that because they helped me they are my parent. " I say while walking towards the garden with Ozirafel behind me "You should be nicer " " I know" I say finally arriving the garden. I take I big breath and slowly look at Ozirafel "It was nice meeting you, but sadly, I have to go" and with that I run to out the garden while creating a portal and entering it.
The last thing I see is Ozrifel running towards me and grabbing my sleeve and then I see nothing.
