Immortal Night Book 1 The Phantom Lord

Chapter 10: Darius The Black/Lady Death

Across the realms beyond all light and all hope, where the departed go before Heaven and Hell, lied the Land Of The Dead. Thousands of transparent souls walked in a single filed line to be judged. Lady Death stood in front of them all her powers were the physical form of ice. Her skin was frostbitten blue and lifeless, her eyes were solid white striking fear into every soul who entered her realm. Black&Grey dead hair that hung to the ground, her wings shined in the dim light as if they were metallic blades, sharp too. Her cloak concealed everything but her intimidating features. Reapers in her care read off lists that contained every soul meant for judgement, she looked over each list once before walking away toward her fortress. When she got there inside she sat down on her rest rubbing her eyes as if tired from an unknown ordeal. She notices she is not alone: "Identify yourself Fallen, i know you're here" She says ice forming blades in her hands. "Relax dearest Lady Death" Darius The Black enters her vision. "I should've known, why am i not surprised to see you Darius"? She asked her eyes piercing into his soul. "World-Eater has returned Lady Death" Darius smirks, Lady Death gets up from her rest pacing the floor. "You are certain"? She asks, "Come on you've felt it in the cosmos, something changing" Darius responds energy from Black Tempest surging in his veins. "World-Eater must be controlled" Lady Death says. "Control?"Eragon Silas could not be controlled why would you believe that this incarnation can be controlled"? Darius cackles, Lady Death shoots him a nasty look then looks down: "After all this time you're still causing problems Dera" Lady Death says putting her icy hands against a table shaking her head. "What"? Darius questioned her. "Nothing that concerns you, why did you come here anyways Fallen one"? Lady Death asks him annoyed. "I need Reapers Lady Death to find this new incarnation for i cannot do it alone" Darius responds. "Darius The Black you know that my Reapers are neutral we cannot interfere with the affairs of the living before their time". She says walking away from him, he runs up to catch her. "Wait a moment, wait a moment because i think you are going to like the little offer im going to make you". Darius says kissing her icy hand, she shakes him off in disgust. "Go on" she says rolling her eyes. "This new incarnation holds a God-killer" Darius says. "A perverted Heavenly Weapon"? Lady Death interrogates Darius now intrigued. "Very same, BloodBane sister of the fabled SilverBane". Darius responds. "A Phantar has a Class A God-Killer"?! Her questions begin to enrage her. "This is ludicrous what proof do you have of this Darius"? Darius then sits on her rest angering Lady Death. "Lord Nibiru the Fire Lord had a son and that son is the new incarnation of World-Eater, this boy had used BloodBane to dissect his own heart from his body i saw it all. Darius says boastfully. "There's something else as well, why i needed your Reapers" . Lady Death then sits in front of Darius both locking eyes. "Why Darius"? "and if i need to ask one more question in my dominion im going to use my hand to cut your angelic skull in half".  She says angrily. "God's pet project has come home" Darius says. "Your Brother" She responds. "That thing is no kin of mine, God became bored created something he shouldn't have" Darius snarled. "Someone's still jealous" Lady Death coldly said. "Jealous, World-Eater will kill him" Darius laughs. "But you expect this World-Eater to fulfill Eragon's promise, Eragon was a madman a fool he resides in Deraka now beyond my help, God's or the Devil King's". She says, "This one will fulfill what Eragon promised me, but to do that i must meet this incarnation, retrieve BloodBane before she puts even sicker ideas in his head like obliterating us all killing God's little experiment and keeping the grand design in order returning to my rightful place". Darius said. "A Phantar Angel suppose what would that look like"? Lady Death says to herself then beginning to smile. "I just need insurance, around your Reapers i can't die from any means" Darius responds. "That mean's The Wanderer can't either not even God-killers can strike him what is your plan Darius" ? Lady Death asks getting annoyed again. "Eris" Darius responds. "Your going to find the Goddess of Discord to turn him mortal then you can kill him by mortal standard". She says shaking her head admiring Darius's genius. "Ill find her, it won't be easy asking the other gods given my "Charming" appearance but im sure your Reapers will make it easy". As Darius said this slow clapping came from the other end of the room.
