Death

Whispers

The boy wasn't that pleased with their presence, though he was happy that somebody came to find him, he didn't know who they were. He moved a little aside and looked at Zozo, he knew he was a demon but had never seen one so close to a human before. He was a half-elf and half-human. His appearance was that of a kid, he had a bow and arrows on his back. His ears were pointy like most of the elves but his body wasn't that much like them. His eyes were that of a human and were light blue. His limbs were almost like the limbs of a human boy in his early teens. He was wearing brown-colored loose pants and his shirt was green with a belt tied on his belly, he had a cape attached to his shirt in dark green color. His shoes were of leather and were blackish-brown.  His skin was fair and his hair was brown. 

He moved his hand back and grabbed his bow as his body was in a defensive position. "Who are you and why you came here?" He asked them in a slightly trembling voice. Though he was small he had great courage to be living in that forest on his own. The silence there was making the situation tense, Death moved forward. "Listen, boy, we have nothing to do with you okay? We just want to know who is the holder of that bow and arrows you have on your back." He pointed at them and the boy looked back over his shoulder. "They are mine, why?" He replied. 

"You sure they are yours?" Zozo replied with a question. "You don't look like an archer to us." 
The boy instantly draws an arrow from his quiver and taking aim he shoots the arrow toward Zozo. The poor demon couldn't even move and closed his eyes instantly but couldn't feel anything hit him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Death standing there, smiling. 

"Well, he sure is talented Zozo." He said to him and as Zozo looked back and saw a big flying leech dead on the ground, the arrow passing through its body."You know flying leeches or hooters are quite fast and hungry for demon blood." Death smirked and turned to the boy, "Well can you tell us your name? So we can talk about something." 

The boy relaxed a bit and moved his bow and arrow down, "I am Finbor Quaeth, you can call me Fin." He moved to a tree stump and sitting there he pulled his water bottle from his left side, it was made of some leather. "Want some water? You have been walking for quite a while now." 

Death took the water and drinking some he passed it to Zozo, "Thank you Fin. Well straight to the point, we need your help with some things, some really dangerous things." 

"Does it has to do with my arrows and bow? They have been glowing for quite a while now, and when you came here he went back to normal, why is that?" He looked at him a bit worried. 

"It is some sort of signal I think so. Well Death's Aetherius did the same thing and your sacred weapon is Starshot right? The speed, the light." Zozo knew a lot about the weapons.

"Yeah, it was given to me by my father he was its holder once, now I am." He looked at it. "It is made of the stardust and some people say a holy elf was its maker, he used all the magic left in him to create this last masterpiece of his." He looked at the bow and smiled slightly.

Death pulled his sword out feeling some presence other than theirs, "Someone is here, I can feel it." he looked around as Fin's ear twitched and he stretched his bow, pointing his arrow at a tree, "You behind that tree, why are you here? such beings like you are not allowed into this forest!" 

Death turned to the tree and could see a red single eye peeking from behind the tree, he had a very nasty smile on his face with pointy teeth and drool running down from his mouth, dripping on the cape he was holding and covering most of his face with it. "You... you are not... you not doing good... I have to tell...!" He instantly turned and vanished before anyone could capture him. 

Death walked some steps towards the tree, "You know him?" He asked Fin, "Well it's not like I know him but he has been spying on me for quite a while now and every time I try to talk to him we disappear, this is the first time I heard his voice." He paused, "So what is the thing you were talking about." He looked at Death and then looked up to the sky, "It is late we should be moving now, there are some things in this forest that should never be disturbed." He started walking towards a path.
