The Afterlife

VIV- Battlefield

Warning- Suicidal Mentions

I arrive at the location I wanted and quietly sit under a cherry tree that is blooming. In this place is currently Spring. The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and the swords and bodies are covered in moss. This is a very old place that is now a flower camp . I come here to relax sometimes. It also helps me with some things, some... more personal things.

I go closer to a dandelion and I crush it. It's now dead and with a simple motion I try to bring it back to life.

When Death and Life agreed to take me as their ""child"", they gave me a fraction of their power. I have both life's and death's power which makes me the 3rd most powerful being here but because I wasn't supposed to have those my body isn't fully used to it, it "breaks" every time I try and use it. When I use powers my right eye and arms start having ""cracks"" in it, more like thunders , the fingertips and around my eye start being a blackish purple. And my eye is fully white and blinded.

You must be thinking ""Wow so cool you get powers and you get to look so coool "" And you are right, I look very cool, but every time I use it I start being weak and if overused I could die, fully die. But I still need to do somethings before it.

I- "You really are unobservant" I quick turn to the voice as my thoughts get interrupted and I see the last person I would like to see "C'mon dude can't you leave me alone. How did you even got here?!" "When I grabbed you I got teleported to here too , I didn't wanted to but I got here" He steps closer to me and on a motion I make him fly against the cherry tree. "Oh my saint lord I am so sorry Ozirafel! " I say while going towards him and helping him get on his feet "I didn't wanted to hurt you! I mea it was funny as hell but I swear I didn't wanted to hurt you".

He is finally on his feet with a hand on his head and he looks at me and just...well... sits under the tree. I sit beside him trying to not hurt him more while my hands are turning normal.

"So, you have powers?" "Yeah, I've discovered them not too long ago. I still can't control them, but I'm sure one day I will" He approach's me and take my hand. He examines my hand noticing the black lines fading quietly "What are those? I've never seen them and I've met a lot of mythical creatures." "Because it isn't really my power, my body isn't used to it so every time I use magic it consumes a part of my life. Not much but if I use it a lot without any breaks I could die."

I giggle quietly putting my hand on my leg. "Death said that you wanted to die. Are you planning to do that with your magic? " I look at him surprised on how calm he is about talking such topic. "Death should learn to hold their tongue but yes, I want to die. I want to finally lose all my 3 lives that for some unknown reason I can't remember the other 2! But, I won't do that with my magic. I still got things to deal with."

After all that I lay my head on his legs while looking at the beautiful sunset. I feel his hand passing trough my hair and I think he is trying to comfort me but I really don't care at this point, it feels safe here with him so I'm just gonna enjoy it.

After some time in silence he finally spoke up "Why do you like this place so much? It's literally filled with bodies and weapons." "But it's also a beautiful flower camp! And. . . I don't know. . . I just like it. Life says that a part of me has a connection with this place but I can't figure it out how or why! The only thing that I remember is that I love Spider Lilies, which is a lie because my favorite flower is the buttercup so it's really confusing " He stops his hand and quietly says "Maybe someone in your past life liked those flowers and they had some connection to this place? Maybe they were a soldier or a commander" I look at his purple eyes and he looks at me back.

We keep staring into each others eyes till I finally say something "The bookstore, Chouka and Timeus. That's it! Oz you are a genius!" "I don't like the name Oz, Alexis" "If I want to know more about my past lives I need to talk to them! Thank you so much, Oz!" I quickly Stand up and try to make a portal when suddenly I feel a hand holding my pulse.

"May I know where are you going and who is Timeus?" "Ohhhh yeah I forgot you are new to this. I am going to the bookstore and then I am going to meet with Timeus on his little world. Oh and Timeus is the one who keeps record of all the things happening with each person in the universe. He has a very busy job. " I say while opening the portal " I'm coming with you. " I look at Ozirafel surprised, he notices that and quickly answers.

" I am the one in charge of you, so I'll go with you to those places. I don't know want you want to do with Mrs.Chouka but I'll be with you no matter what " " Awww, that was such a cute 'marry me' moment unfortunately I can not take that option for you to marry me. But, I'll let you go with me to the bookstore " I look at the now made portal and realize its too small for the both of us. Before I could say anything to him I see him transform into a little rat . I lower myself putting my hand on the floor for him to get on it.

He looks at it and then he sits on the my hand. I stand normally and after a big breath we both enter the portal.
