element of death

Chapter 8

chapter 8

~~recap~~

Lymphia, Ignix, Solum, and Caelum have found out that Torva has the element of death.

~~Story Time!~~

(Torva POV)

I pick up an hourglass of someone on the last minute of their life and head to their side.

"Who are you?" the woman asks coughing a bit. Dieing. She seems to be a sweet old lady.

"I am Death." I say pushing back my hood and stilling my hair. "Your time is almost up."

"I figured as much. I've had a long life. but aren't you a bit young to be the Reaper?"

"I'm only slightly younger than the universe. I think I'm plenty old enough. I just choose this form because it puts people at ease, and it's more fun."

"Your apparent age may put people at ease, but the scythe certainly doesn't. What's it for?" She's sweet and grandmotherly.

"Some demons like to possess the bodies of the recently dead. It's to get rid of any that come. You know, you could stay with me. I like you. If you want I mean. If you do, look for the house in the middle of Nowhere."

"I won't be getting up and about much."

I giggle, "Nowhere is the passage to the land of the dead, it's the area between places. Here, You can have a little longer than a day to figure this out." I give her a few weeks more on the timer.

I wandered around the Hall of souls, looking at the hourglasses of my friends. As I'm doing so, Lymphia's Hourglass begins to shake! NO! I rush back to Htrae and return to my standard form.

"ANIMA, VITA, do you have the duct tape?!"

"What? Why?"

"Lymphia!"

"Oh, shit!, I was gonna say crap, but that works too."

"DUCT TAPE! NOW!"

"Here!"

I catch the duct tape and quickly reassemble the hour glass. "That was close. Get Lymphia. I'll Tell her the whole truth, we'll fake her death, and I'll ask Gen to give him the water powers for a period of time, We'll let him think he's winning, but since it's really Lymphia's water, she'll be able to override his commands."

"K"

~~Time skip brought to you by the author's laziness~~

"What did you want to tell me, Torva?"

"Here." I toss her her hourglass. "He almost killed you the same way he killed your sister. Luckily I duct taped it in time. Now, you're gonna have to play dead for a bit, We'll ask a watcher to simulate your powers for Lord sparky, but you'll always be able to override his commands, we'll get captured, I've locked the hall of souls so that only I can enter."

"Wait, only you can enter? What about the Grim reaper? How'd you get there? where'd you get the hourglass?"

"I am the Grim Reaper." I transform, my eyes lighting up and scythe appearing. "You're gonna need to give consent to Gen to give him parts of your powers. Okay?"

"Sure."

"Yay! Thanks! Gen, please come, I request assistance."

Gen: *appears wearing a naruto t-shirt, as though she'd always been standing there and they'd just now noticed her.*

Gen: Sure, I'll do it. Lymphia, do you allow this?

"Yeah."

Gen: Done.*snaps fingers* Lymphia, you can call me any time.

(A/N the watcher's actions and speaking will be portrayed differently)

"Thank you Gen." I say.

Gen: no prob. *is no longer there*

(Bad  guy POV)

It worked! she's gone, and I have her powers. I'll just have to destroy the others!
