When I woke up I was in a beautiful meadow, of emerald grasses, literally, the grass on the ground was carved emeralds, with the same texture and flexibility as the usual grass but with the beauty of jewels.
When I looked up at the sky I was completely surprised, there was not the typical blue or black of the night, not even stars in the firmament, just an image that I more or less recognized.
Over my head, far away I could see clouds, mountain ranges, seas with their oceans, green forests and vast deserts.
The whole world of LAZ was in the firmament to be contemplated and admired, it was simply beautiful. Giving that feeling of being small as a speck of dust, but without the lifelessness of an empty and vast sky, in simple words, it was beautiful.
[I see you like it, that's good, not many people value art as I do] An androgynous voice made me jump with fright, I turned around and saw her or him, I didn't know what to say.
He or she, wore a white silk robe tight and that extended hiding her legs completely, her left arm was covered by the robe, besides that in this arm she wore a black bracelet and a white glove on her hand, on the contrary her right arm was completely exposed, her face seemed to have been outlined, without any kind of imperfection, with long silky hair that fell in a red cascade, the end of it disappeared in a haze. Her eyes had the same hue as diamonds, that jewel-like shine formed her iris, giving a spectacle of beauty in which you get lost without knowing it, more so when some ray of light ends up in her gaze, making everything around unnecessary, in those moments only her gaze existed, a small freckle rested under her right eye.
Upon seeing me completely gawking he gave a soft smile, making my heart tremble.... At that moment there was only one nagging thought that assailed me.
- Please don't be a man, please don't be a man, please don't be a man....
[You may call me Alabaster, though you know me as death or the goddess of true peace.]
When he said I was a goddess it carried more weight than the fact that I am a deity or death, for a moment I thought I had changed lanes or that I had become a double hitter.
With my sexual deviations sorted out, I could more or less concentrate on HER.
After that statement SHE, smiled again and as if a short circuit had fried my brain I said the other thing I had in mind.
- Now I understand the saying on earth that death is the most beautiful woman.
SHE heard me and just smiled again, although this time if I hadn't been dead I'm sure my heart would have stopped long enough to die. Beautiful was an understatement.
[You're a very flattering young man, but don't let Life find out about this, she'd be very jealous.]
I simply nodded like a fool.
[Well young Hel, your stay in the realm of the dead is something special, you are on the path to obtain the abyss, I wouldn't lie to say it is one of the 10 or even 5 most powerful factions in LAZ, that is of course if you know how to use it, once you have it and are able to obtain the middle religion, you will have the ability to pray to a god. To make it simpler, there are a variety of gods and each with a scale of power, among the gods of the medium religion, you will have the laws and consciences. In my case I am the law of death, Justice which you already know is the conscience of what is right, like us there are more and each one with his blessing].
After a moment's pause and some hesitation SHE continued.
[My purpose in bringing you here is to be able to talk to you and ask you to allow me to be your deity, there are some laws that are not recognized and end up in oblivion, one of these is me.]
At that moment I interrupted her.
- But if you are the goddess of death, wouldn't you be one of the most sought after deities. Anyone would like to serve the lady of death, even more so being SHE so beautiful, taking away all her other aspects to her title.
[Yes and no, what people consider death, is a being of bone that takes away souls and can transform them into tireless skeletons, but that is not my law, that is the law of undeath, I represent the true end of life, the true peace for souls].
At that moment a revelation had shaken me, she was right, when a person on earth thinks of death, the first thing that pops into his head is a skeleton with a big scythe on a throne of bones, not peace, even if it is for the soul, who could consider death as peace, although if I think about it now, there was always the saying that death was peace for the tormented. Now it all made sense to me.
- Death I like... . At that point I was interrupted.
[Young Hel call me Alabaster if you don't mind] I nodded and continued.
- Alabaster, I would like to know why me, of all the LAZ players or reincarnated. All those with a modicum of wisdom would see that there is a lack of information here, because a deity would come down for someone to pray to him, even if it is a misinterpreted law.
[I understand your doubts and I can answer them, it is because of the abyss, the abyss is something that we, the gods fear, that is why if you come to possess it, you will have the ability to hunt the other gods, the fear of the abyss is immeasurable and not only to be hunted and sealed, if ever the beasts that are sealed inside would come out... only destruction would be expected, both for gods and mortals. In that case, I prefer to be on your side and above all, my power is perfect to prevent any of those monstrosities from coming out, the weaker ones are still afraid to die and they won't get out of your control once you become my warlord]
[A and I forgot, if you want to get to me you have to be quick, the law of death is a unique religion and only one faction can pray to it, this also happens with some others so be quick]
With those words I, who only now had noticed that I was a light body, began to fragment and fly towards the sky, that is, the world of LAZ.
