My curse is what you call a gift but everything around me dies all the time and nothing can get away from it. Would you call that a gift? This is why the Gods and Goddesses fear me! I am Death... A monster. Maybe having this curse is for the best, I always tell myself this to stop me from crying everyday and blaming myself for this war between the saviors and Gods.
*My Lady, are you there?*
I look up from my thoughts and look around to see who was talking but then realized that the voice was from my head by my servant, Ivan or as you know him as The Grim Reaper.
*What is it Ivan?*
*The saviors are coming for you Anubis-sama.*
I look out over the woods from the tree I was sitting in and saw an army. An army of saviors, survivors and soldiers. I growl. This is not what meant to happen in the future, was it? I jump down from the tree and run towards the opening of the woods as soon as I get there I scream,
"What is the meaning of this? I fear that you are here to do something bad but I won't ever let that happen! So leave!"
They looked at me and kept their posture. Suddenly the man from the day before came forward and said,
"We have come for you to help us defeat the almighty Gods, Our Enslavers."
I shake my head and look him in the eye.
"I can never help you because my powers are out of control. I am a slave to the Gods by staying out of the war to come."
*Ivan, where are the Fae?*
*Somewhere My Lady.*
I tsked and turn to think.
"There is a way to help yourselves win this war. Would you like to know?"
They look at each other and nod eagerly.
"Find the Fae. Their queen will love to be apart of this war and to have a treaty with you saviors."
They look at me one more time before leaving. Only one remained, the man. What does he need from me?
"What is it"
"I want to say that you are the most helpful person in this war of life and death."
I look up to see that he was walking closer to me.
"STAY BACK! You could die if you get too closer to the wood."
He continues to walk closer and then stops. He throws something towards me and I catch it. It was a ring. But for what?
"If I live, I will want to have that back but if I don't take it to my kingdom where you can live happily."
I gasp at this and turn away.
"I will send someone with you to help you find the Fae."
*I summon thee Ivan. Come forward and help this man.*
*Of course Mistress.*
He goes towards the man and walks away.
