Eieri screamed as she pushed. Her father had told her that this child, her only, would be a large one. A strong one . She screamed louder as the baby's head came through, followed by its wide shoulders . One final push and the baby was out. Vera, her midwife cut the umbilical , then cleaned the baby and handed it to Eieri. "It's a boy. A baby boy ." Vera said with an excited smile. "Messor." Eieri said softly ." What?" Vera asked, slight afraid of what she heard. " Messor , the Reaper, for he will reap many enemies in his collectings." She said , going limp as the baby fed from her breast. Vera held the child until his mothers breast was dry, and still he cried for more. She fed him from her own until he slept . Graveheart, Eieri's father, come in to see the sleeping child. As he saw his daughter dead, he shed only a single tear, a prologue to the downpour that would later flow from his eyes. He held the sleeping boy. " what is the child's name ?" He asked Vera . "Messor." She said. "Reaper the Collector he shall be. " he said, before dropping three drops of his blood onto the boys head and dropping him through the floor into the body of a child about to be born.
