C'est la vie - A Collection

The Raven's Call

***Contains spoilers for A QUEST OF DEATH: SHADOWS NEVER LIE***

This is the Epilogue of the previous version (first draft) of SNL. This is no longer gonna appear in the book since the new update (currently published version) has a much interesting, brand-new storyline (of course a better one). Therefore, here I'm posting it in my collection (couldn't make up my mind to banish it from existence). I highly recommend you read SNL as well. Enjoy ❤️

"Now, that's new... She really can see me.."

I had no idea why I was getting to see her so much. Wherever I go, she was there.

"You're no human, are you ?"

Of course, I am not. But she had no clue. It's amusing to see how her forget-me-not eyes widen at anything she was unfamiliar with.

"You followed me without even knowing that, did you?"

She had the gut to follow me after seeing me at the bus stop that day and sensing I was a bit unusual for the usual type of men she used to see. I was just doing my job there as the omen of death. That was my duty.

"You-B-but..who are you ?"

Who? Well, that's probably not a pronoun I go by.

"Who? .. I'm not an exact 'who' though"

"Then-then-- what are you ?"

Stuttering, are we? Cute.

"I can be whatever you expect me to be. But I would prefer to go with what you humans call, a demon'... maybe .."

Well, I am cursed to be one. Though I am still unaware of what act of me made me. There's only one thing I was bound to. I was bound to see death.

Does she know her mouth is agape? Woah was the news that surprising?

"Why so surprised? You knew that already, didn't you ?"

"Never "

"Huh ?!"

Now? So, she did follow me without knowing who I am. Looks like I'm gonna have a guest at home today.

Jade.

Like that she came into my life.

A girl with the attitude of a Rhino, the magic of a firefly and the beauty of a goddess. The most amusing fact about her was she had signed a deal with Satan himself.

And she was probably the only human that I didn't meet to inform me of her death.
The first time I met her was the time I got summoned into a place unknown, even without having a deal. And that too was because she was in a danger. A wraith came from nowhere after she and I who was on my way to submit my monthly progress profiles to the HQ of the Death suddenly got sucked into thin air to be dropped in that abandoned alley.
