Chapter One
The Fine Line
My name is William Travis. I am 14 yeas old and I am not human. We'll not full human anyway. I am half human and half soul reaper. Soul reapers are a very rare and almost extinct race. We were once brutal and very strong. Our powers are all the same, we have the power to look into peoples' souls (Hence the name). We can almost like read minds but instead into their souls.
After a Great War between the Greek gods and the titans, we were almost destroyed. However Hades, The Lord of the Dead, found use of our soul reaping power and decided he could use us. As the years passed, the world changed but we did not. We were still collecting dying souls from around the work and sending them to the underworld. Over the years humans have called us by many names, grim reapers, Death, or the light they see when dying. Our job was to deliver them to the other side, no more no less. I guess you could call us the fine line between life as death.
