The Shadows Of Life Prologue 2

Everything is Blurry how thoughts are coming in I don't know I try to scream for help but I can't all I can see is the world fading from view looking out I could see the world but wait am I falling? I looked again but I couldn't see the world am I imagining it? Wait what's that speck it's getting brighter and redder wait no I can't die I'll do things differently he thought as the speck became closer then


Where am I Jesse looked around but all he could see was fog if I could feel he thought to himself I would be able to feel cold I would be able to feel it right? Jesse thought as he stared out into the abyss but just then the ground opened up and a plump little old lady came up the stairs with her cane slowly


“Sorry about the wait dearie the lever gets jammed sometimes.”


“Oh that's right I almost forgot souls can't talk without a body, sorry about that well if you would follow me well get you started.” said the old lady knowing not what else to do Jesse followed or floated behind the strange person down the spiraling staircase Jesse could see the ash floating and twelve stairs down the hit rock bottom


“Now dearie once the Council has decided we will be able to figure out where to put you.” the lady said as she sauntered down the corridor Jesse glanced around and saw millions of souls just wandering toward a Giant Coliseum with gothic architecture once they entered there was a large table were Twelve Huge demons sat and in the center sat a bigger demon with long horns and a horned crown Jesse felt so very small there were two reapers posted at the entrance guiding the souls one by one to the center for the demon in the throne to decide on the line shortened Jesse realized it was his turn the plump lady took his hand and patted it


“It's alright dearie let the grim council decide no need to be afraid.” and with that, she sauntered off

Jesse never felt more nervous as the two grim reapers led him to the center he looked up and saw a glimpse of heaven when he looked down he saw hell then he looked at the demon on the throne


“The Grim Council had decided your fate.”


“You are to become a grim reaper Satan has seen potential you will capture souls for the Earhral Realm for the council to judge their fate.”


And slowly Jesse felt a change as he slowly gained a body much colder than the old one he looked at his hands but only saw his bony hand

“So then this is my fate?.” he said in a voice not of his own


“The Council has decided.” and with that, a grim reaper appeared before Jesse with a scythe in hand then handed it to Jesse


“Your adviser will give you a list of souls to kill when you return to the Overworld

Then the two reapers led Jesse back to the main entrance Jesse saw the old lady saunter up to him


“It's alright dearie glad the council didn't send you to hell oh goodness I almost forgot my name is Marina,” said Marina


“Are you my advisor? Jesse asked


“Yes, dearie now let's get you sorted,” Marina said


Jesse thought so this is my fate now he looked up and saw a red mist swirling then followed marina
