The Grim Reaper's Hunt

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The pounding rain wakes me from my slumber. The sound of thunder rouses me. I sit up from my comfy bed, yawning drastically. I rub my eyes open and sees that my best friend Susie Daisy is looking at me with big sky blue eyes.

"Hey! You've been sleeping for a long time now! It's already 5! You know we have to wake up at 4! The Headmaster wants to see you again anyway so get up now!"

"Susie! You know that I had a shift at midnight! Do you know how cold it was last night?!"

"Yeah, yeah whatever."

I got up from my mahogany bed and headed to the girls restroom. The cold marble floor greeted my pale feet as they nimbly touched the ground. I brushed my teeth and combed my silver hair. I examined my ice colored eyes, and slipped on my white uniform.

Susie has the same uniform that I have , but it's black. The reason I have the white uniform is because I'm part of the 13 Death Gods. The 13 Death Gods is a group of the 13 most top ranked Grim Reaper. I'm the youngest of the Gods. I'm only 16 when all the other gods are 20-30 years old. I'm ranked 3rd. The top 5 is the

Council of Souls. We have the highest respect possible and we assign missions to other Grim Reapers. Susie is the only Reaper alive that treats me like a normal Grim Reaper.

All Grim Reapers have a resonance form. All are the same, skeletons in black cloaks. But, mine is slightly different. Even though I ranked 3rd, I'm the only Reaper ( except for the Headmaster ) that has unlocked my resonance's true form, the body of a goddess with the wings of good and evil, a icy colored eye, a red hued eye, Excalibur the Holy Sword, and Wislumzadi the Tainted Sword. But, changing into my special form is very tiring and I can only hold the form for only a few minutes. So I just go with the normal form. But since I have this special form, I can't partner up with any other Grim Reaper. Usually there are squads of 3 to begin with ,but I have my own. Not that I'm bothered with that issue anyway.

Even though I stay in my normal form, I am too powerful in zadi. Zadi is the power of magic that we user to do almost everything. Teleporting to designated areas, sending souls to the depths of hell, summoning our weapons, the Scythes, etc. Our Scythes come in different forms, Susie's is a dagger, and mine a special weapon that has a onyx blade on both ends, shaped like the crescent moon. It's an extremely dangerous and complicated weapon, but I soon mastered it with a lot of hardships, such as countless cuts, bruises, and large gashes when I mishandled it. In total, this weapon has taken 47 Grim Reaper lives, because they mishandled it and created fatal injuries that soon led to death. I smirked.

I teleported to the kitchen to grab a bite of toast and teleported to the Headmaster's study. As I bit into the toast, I pushed open the doors of the study, since teleporting directly inside was prohibited.

There sat the Headmaster while discussing something to a mystery man that I did not recognize. As I leaned against the door, waiting for their notice, the Headmaster finally took notice of me.

"Ah! Perfect timing Alicia!"

"Yeah? What's wrong Headmaster?"

"Ah! That! Yes! You shall be escorting Mr. Hydres to the Hadar Mountains!"

"You do know that this is hurting my pride."

"Perfectly aware!"

"And who is this Mr. Hydres Person?"

He nodded his head to the man standing next to him. I saw his face and examined his soul. It's a feature Grim Reapers have, we can read the soul with almost no zadi for the cost. But for the Council of Souls, this was nothing. It was as easy as just looking at something. I immediately recognized the dark aura around him.......... It was............ Angel 13!!!! I immediately jumped back and summoned my weapon. The Headmaster looked at me with surprise and so did Mr. Hydres. Why hasn't Headmaster noticed yet!?!?!

"Alicia?! What's wrong?!"

"N-nothing. Just a bit jumpy. Last night wasn't a pleasant sleep."

"I understand. Now, right after you finish breakfast, I want you to depart with Mr. Hydres to the Hadar Mountains."

"Yes Headmaster."

I left the study a confused mind. Why couldn't Headmaster see what he truly was?! For him, it would've been so simple. Or has the Angel nullified his source of darkness? But that's impossible. Just play along for a bit, Alicia.

I went to the mess hall to get something more filling to eat. So I told the head cook, Peter to cook me a roast beef and some broiled beans. I sat down with the food and pondered what I had experienced. Why has a Angel infiltrated the Grim Reapers? Sure we do special requests, but only to the ones with great need. Why the Hadar Mountains? Our zadi is very limited there due to its adnormal ore. Our powers are reduced harshly as well! Even for me! But why didn't I think of attacking him right there?

Then it hit me. The man that calls himself Mr. Hydres is a pupil of Zaldif! The master of the mind. The Headmaster must've been in his weakened state!

The Headmaster is prone to many illnesses. So he must've took advantage of that! According to the records, our Reapers forget everything they were going to do or what they should've done would be abandoned from their minds! So he must've got rid of my thought to warn the Headmaster and to attack him! I smiled. Not a bad guy. A challenge !!!! Finally!!!! I'll enjoy fighting him. But I should go warn the Headmaster of what I found out.

Then another fact landed in my mind. He is going to Hadar Mountains because he knows that our power decreases harshly in the presence of the mountain. Tacky.

I quickly finished my meal and teleported to the Headmaster's study.
