I grabbed the scythe and when I did an eerie green flame wrapped my body. With me engulfed with the flames I let out a loud scream as my flesh was melting off. After the flesh melted away, a chain came out of the scythe and like a cobra started to strike my body. Cuffs appears and attached itself on my wrists. Then the chains started to grind into my bones as it wraps and entangling itself in me. It almost felt as if it's making a new body.
After a few minutes the pain finally disappeared and the flames dies down. I fell to my knees and the scythe lays besides me. I opened my eyes and my vision has changed. What was once dark now I can see clearly. I can now see the scythe with every detailed.
Body length staff with a long curve blade. The blade was decorative of a twisted and evil looking skull and glowing green eyes. With the transformation completed Osiris called to me and said " Arise Reaper and we can finally be done with this."
I stood up as he commanded and looked at my body. Except for my head, hands, and part of my chest where my heart would be is cover with chains. The chains didn't feel normal though. It felt like it moves with me, when I move it moves.
"Now that the transformation is finished we will tell you your tasks bestow onto you." Osiris says and looks at Anubis. "How may leave and take care the one. I'll explain things from here." Anubis nods and walk through the door that he came through earlier. When he left Osiris turns back to me.
"Now Your task is to take the curse souls from their lifeless bodies and take them to the life scales. After judgement a portal comes forth and they will go through it. The scythe the source of your powers. It will never leave you and it will take you the curse souls only." As I comprehend the coming tasks I notice he only mentioned 'curse' souls and not all souls.
"What do you mean curse souls my lord."
"Souls that have experience many hardships and often experience some sort of bad luck. For now that's all you need to know. As time goes by more of your powers will waken. The only thing I can't tell you is when they will. The scythe will let you know when."
"Thank you my lord I'm thankful that Banafrit will be ok after this. I will carry out my role faithfully." I bow before him and he bows back.
"Our poor servant I know you will do your duties properly. But for now it is time for us to leave. I bestow one last gift." He wave his hand and a portal appears and on the other side is a building. "Use this place as your new home for you to rest when needed."
"Thank you I will use it for resting." I bow again with great gratitude. Osiris and Khonsu bows back. They left soon after and I was alone in the darkness again. With the scythe in hand I told it "ok let's go home," and the eyes glows and the portal reappears. Nervously I walk through the portal and came out in front of the stone building.
I went inside and saw it was already furnished with a bed and a small table. With my time just about to start. I tried to settle the anxiousness that was taking over.
"Relax Grim you're in good hands." I heard the voice coming from the scythe. "I'll take care of you. We are partners after all." It said again. I was taken back when I heard the voice again. I nearly dropped it to the ground. "Hey watch it even if I can't break it still hurts."
"Sorry , I was just taken back."
"It's fine just be careful. What should I call you?"
"It's up to you. After all you are my master I'm just your tool." I started to think of a name.
"Ammit?." I said out loud. "I mean since we are taking souls I figure it's close enough.
"Hmmm, Ammit I like it. For now on call me Ammit then." Ammit sounded happy about its name. With that our story truly begins. With the two us guiding lost curse souls and as time changes I notice one thing. My powers felt like it bound somehow.
