"Is this what death is?", Myth thought. After his fight with the creature, Myth had died, and he was sure of that. Now he couldn't see, speak, hear, or feel anything. "Just darkness..."

Just then, the creature that killed him was right in front of him. Myth still couldn't speak, but it felt like he grabbed hold of something.. A sword!

Instantly, he swung the sword at the creature, and it disappeared in a flash of light, just like before.

The light seemed to open a small section of the darkness.

"Great, so all I have to do is kill a bunch of those creatures then," Myth thought, "easy enough I guess."

One by one, the creatures were appearing, and just as fast, Myth destroyed them. The door was big enough to fit into! He then began to feel exhaustion.

"Why now!?" Myth thought. In sheer desperation, he crawled to the door made of light and fell through it.

The light blinded his vision, and the next thing he knew was that he was in a throne room full of dead.

"What the fu-" before Myth could finish, he heard a large, ominous growl from below him.

Myth looked down and saw nothing except himself.

Still looking down, he heard the growl again. Myth soon came to a horrible realization. He was still hungry!

Just then, a man with pale skin and red hair walked into the room.

"I see you're hungry," The man said, "What do you want to eat?" Too hungry to wonder about who this mysterious man was, he said what he wanted.

"Oh cool," the man said, "I wanted that too." Just then, a McDonald's bag appeared in front of both of them.

Before the man could say anything else, Myth devoured his meal.

The man just stared at him, not touching his food. Myth realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet.

"Hi," Myth said holding out his hand, "my name's Myth. What's yours?"

The man just stared blankly at Myth, and then realized what he was doing.

"Thorn," the man said, blushing furiously. "So... what are you doing in my castle?" Thorn asked Myth.

"Oh this is your castle," said Myth, "I just appeared here from a hole of light."

"Hmm.." Thorn wondered, "Did you see any pink monsters with yellow eyes?"

"Mhm," Myth said, "One of them killed me I think. Not sure if I'm dead or not. Am I dead? Are you dead? What even is death? What about-"

"I'll stop you right there," Thorn said, "if you saw it, and was killed by it, then you must be the one!"

"I don't think I'm entirely sure on what you mean," Myth said.

Thorn looked excited but managed to contain it.

He was just about to explain when a set of doors appeared in front of Thorn. His expression turned from excited to fearful in an instant.

"Hide!" Thorn hissed. Myth looked around quickly and found a crate. He ran to the crate and hid behind it right as the doors opened.

Out came a giant, a look of rage on his face.

"WHAT'S ALL THE NOISE IN HERE?!" The giant exclaimed.

Yelled the giant, looking very annoyed. "S-s-sorry," Thorn stuttered, "I was just watching some human deaths haha.."

He laughed nervously. The giant looked furious. As the giant got ready to smack Thorn, something came over Myth.

"HEY!" Myth yelled.
