Death watch the boy grow, he was kind and loved by many. He started to use his powers for good and people started to follow. Death could see he was conflicted in his heart so she decided to talk with him. "So many powers and you don't use them on yourself" Death said in the shadows. The boy jumped and turned to a beautiful woman whose skin was to fair to come form his land. "My father told me to use them for good" the boy respond. Death looked at the boy with an approval nod. "Who are you?" the boy asked. Cocking her cad to the side she replied "Hmm I guess you can say I am your aunt." The boy looked confused and opened his mouth to speak "Your people say that I bring Death" Death said before he could ask questions. The boy gasped "am I dead?" Death giggled at his reaction "no child I just wanted to keep an eye on you to make sure you are okay. The humans don't like things that can't be explained it scares them." The boy sighed with relief "So my father didn't send you?" Death looked at the boy with shock for a moment then broke out in a laugh "That lazy bum knows not to order me around." The boy looked confused at Death at her words, why wont the almighty God order Death around he thought. "Why would you thing he would send me?" Death asked. "Because my destiny is to die for his cause" the boy whispered. Death looked at the boy with such sadness and then with a great deal of anger. The boy jumped with fear to see her eyes began to glow with rage. Death sighed and the anger left her eyes. "Don't throw your life away for anyone live your life the way you want to" Death said with great sadness. They could hear the boys mother call his name "I better go" he said with a smile. "We will meet again" Death said with a sad smile as the boy ran off.
After their conversation Death notice the boy was more happier 'maybe talking to him help' Death thought to herself. Watching the years go by Death was happy to see what difference he made but it also attracted the wrong attention as well. The night of a banquet she approached the boy again when he was alone. "Your early" he said with a smile. Death smiled back happy to talk with him again "Just wanted to have a nice chat with my nephew." "This would be our second time we talked" the boy giggled. Death had sad smile "This will be the last time we meet like this next time will be our last but different." The boy sighed knowing what was coming when the sun comes up "I did enjoy this life like you asked." Death looked at his tender face of acceptance and peace, tears started to roll down her eyes. The boy grabbed onto her hands and just smiled "I never wanted this for anyone" she whimpered. "I never knew Death had such a caring heart" the boy said as he patted her hands. She smiled back and they heard one of his brother call out to the boy, he slowly let go of Death hands and said with a great big smile "see you soon." Death was left to cry a little longer and then she left to come back when she was needed.
After the boy lifeless body was place in a cave with a big bolder that took more then one man to move Death appeared once more. She leaned over him and said "You can get up now you have been class off as dead." The boy opened his eyes and said "What happened, Why am I not dead?" "Your mortal self was killed but you are now left with you God self" Death responded. The boy tried to move but the memories of the pain and the torturer haunted him making him dry reach. Death quickly rubbed his back to sooth the sickness "It will be hard for what you went through to get back on your feet. I will wait outside till you are ready to come out" Death said with kindness. The boy looked at the bolder "How do I get out of here?" Death looked at the bolder and looked back at the boy with a raised eyebrow, she pointed her thumb at the bolder "That will be nothing you can't handle" she said with a smile. The boy smiled weakly back and Death disappeared. It took three days but Death waited patiently for the boy to emerge from his cave. When he did God and her sister Life joined Death by her side. "Why are you her God" Death growled at her brother. "To see my son" he replied with a victory smile. "Do you know what happened to your son what they did to him because of you" Death yelled. The walked up to them and smiled when he saw his father next to Death. "My boy I am so proud of you" God said pushing pasted Death. Death growled at his efforts to be a father "Don't be mad you did a good job looking after the boy" Life said putting her hand on her sisters shoulders. "He did this for more power to make the humans believe in him more, that's how they work they will not exist if no human believes" Death grumbled. "Yes he did it because he was afraid to be forgotten, plus it help Lucifer a pit too" Life said with a smile. Death sighed knowing she will never fight with her sister and gave a small smile back. "Lets go home I missed you" Life said giving her sister a big hug. Death pondered on what happened the years she was on earth she wanted to protect the humans so this would not happen again. "No sister what happened was wrong and a child suffered form it I will stay and protect them from the greed of the Gods" Death said strongly. Life sighed as she knew she could not change her sisters mind "very well you watch from here and I will watch from home and we will still keep the balance." Death gave a final glare at God "You ever come near a human again I will make sure you will lose more then the humans beliefs." Death gave her sister one last hug and then vanished.
