***Baek
We've been on the ship for a few hours. It's night time now the voices are loud. One of them is louder than the rest, a lot louder. It's a little girl. She's crying for help.
I look out the ship window and I see her running away from something. Lucifer warned me about this. That some spirits are lost. The longer they stay lost the more dangerous they become.
That girl died recently, most likely yesterday. I jumped out of the ship to go help the girl. Unfortunately I can't help the bad spirit. It's already too far gone for me to help it pass on. I can only destroy it.
I bring out my scythe. It's the first time I've used it. I catch the bad spirits' attention. It's one ugly spirit. I slice it in half perfectly. It evaporates in the air. It looks like it's crying.
"Thank you Mr. That was really scary." The little girl says.
"Are you okay now?" I ask.
" I'm okay, do you know where my parents are?" She asks.
"Sorry I don't but I'm sure you'll meet them soon. Um if you can just touch this toy I have. You'll meet them." I say.
***Before Baek left for hell
"Baek when you let a spirit or soul pass on either hit them with your scythe or allow them to touch it. When they touch it they'll pass on but you'll also learn why and how they died so be careful. Especially with kids, don't let them pass on with a bad mental state." Lucifer says.
***current time. Baek
" Hey, we got a lot of loot from those people this time." a bandit says.
"Yeah and that lady we sold for a lot too." another bandit says.
" We should've sold the child too, we would've got a lot for her." the 3rd bandit says.
" Shut up, we don't sell children. It was better to just kill her." The leader says.
"Thank you for admitting to it yourselves. Even though I already knew it was you guys who killed her." I say with my dagger puncturing his throat.
"Who the hell are you?" The bandits say while jumping backwards. I remove my dagger from his throat and attach it back to my chain. While the leader's body falls lifelessly to the ground.
" I'm your executioner." I say. They all get up and grab their blades. They decide to surround me like a triangle. One of them attacks me from behind. I wrap my chain around his arm then drag him to the ground. Stabbing him in his liver, heart, throat and neck on his way down.
The other one comes from behind me but I just turn around and slice to the carotid artery.
The last one starts running away. I start spinning my chain in a circle then I shoot it at him. My dagger perfectly pierces his mouth.
I hope that lets the family rest in peace. I should return back to the ship before my brother realizes I'm gone.
***Reznakov
Why did he go kill those bandits? Did they do something to him? Before he attacked them he seemed to be talking to himself? Is that an aftereffect from being brought back to life?
The way he fought was way different too. It was almost scary how good he was at killing. " Do you need something?" Baek asks. He knew I was here. How? When? I didn't know his detection ability was that good.
" How did you know I was here? I thought you were blind." I say.
" Trust me I can see very well but I am not blind. My eyes were healed when I became the white reaper." Baek says.
" So why do you wear that blindfold?" I ask.
" I got so used to having my echolocation on when I was blind that it's just normal for me now. Plus using my eyes and echolocation at the same time is uncomfortable." Baek says.
" Wouldn't just using your eyes be better?" I say.
"No. Echolocation is more than just sounds. I can feel the air pressure, temperature, smell, taste, sound, and touch. All of those are heightened. I can even feel the vibrations in the ground. If I extend the range to this whole ship I would know you're awake before you do." He says.
It's probably more advanced than that he just isn't telling everything. Well it's fine I'll learn more about him the longer I'm around him.
" Do you want your memories back?" Baek asks.
"What? How do you know about that?" I ask.
" I can return your memories if you want them back. I've already broken one half of your mana agreement." He says. Mana agreement? What is he talking about?
Baek jerks his head behind him. What is he looking at?
" Sorry I have to go to sleep." He says while walking back to his room. What's wrong with him?
***Baek
" So why did you save that little spirit?" A man asks.
"You're a talkative spirit." I say back.
"I keep telling you that I'm not spirit. I'm not just something you can ignore." The man says.
" Then what are you?" I ask.
" I'm you. The you you're trying to forget. Did you think you could just get rid of me by changing your name. I'm NoTe." The man says.
" NoTe is dead." I say back.
" I can't die. I'll always be there. That killer instinct in you will always express itself as me." NoTe says.
" You're just a figment of my imagination." I say.
" YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST FORGET ME. I WAS HERE BEFORE YOU. I'M THE ORIGINAL!" NoTe yells. He takes a deep breath then says.
" You might be able to shut me out right now. However, soon very soon. I'll be the one in control of our body. I'll show you the proper way to use our strength." NoTe says.
" Shut up and go back into the dirt where you crawled up from." I say.
