~what am I doing? Ohh right, I lost control. I feel like I'm falling in an endless pit of darkness. Maybe I'm already inside the abyss, I feel like my eyes are closed. Completely shut. ~

~I was in the middle of a mission but I remember someone breaking the treaty and directly intervening despite being from the previous generation. I had to go all out or rather force awaken my sealed attributes. I'm already suffering it's backlash it seems. ~

~Well, atleast Cynthia is safe. I'm sure Alian will take my place as the heir and Yuna might be chosen as the 13th. Yui, she'll probably cry and agree to accept the truth. I'm sure she'll lead my group. I'm yapping a lot for an 8 year old. ~

~thats how things were, I've never seen peace with these eyes of mine. Everyday I had to kill countless people despite my parents disagreement. It's because of the rules. It's the fate I got upon myself as I refused to my cousin's challenge. I gave up the succession. As a consequence of that, a branch family is now leading us and I'm forced to do stuff I hate as a punishment for being the heir of the purest blood. ~

~well maybe that's why blood symbolizes death not life. The gravest betrayals are given by those bound by blood.

In this hell of a world. I Yura tsukuyomi

No, Yura Ryu. Am in my final moments.

It's not like I'm dying because I created an unstable entity out of my soul's fragment. He has my normal memories except those precious to only me. I doubt he'll ever let me come back in my body. Here I am, in a void life place completely detached from my body but not dead. ~

~it's a world where thousands of power sources exist. mana, qi, aura, tao, Dao, et cetera but there's one that's present in every being but only few are a ke to weild it. The power of souls.

Everything has a soul, in other words, if aether is the essence if the material world then soul is the essence of aether and also the spiritual world. Many have multiple power sources, but unluckily I was born without one means I could only control soul power. ~

~I kept working hard and eventually got on top of my generation, getting the title of the strongest. But that also made me a threat in the eyes of others. They kept trying to end me. And today, looks like they won. ~

I slowly opened my eyes, a shadowy figure was infront if me.

It's staring at me, I wanna hide somewhere!

It's scary, who is he?

I'm detached from my body so Its just my soul completely defenseless. I'm neither alive nor dead so I'm actually able to see both the world living and dead. Means this figure looking at me is 'death'

It's lips parted and I failed to understand what it said.

It said it again

||whats your name traveler||

I felt as if my soul had burst into shreds, that overwhelming pressure in that voice. My vision was back and I was able to completely see it.

The being whose hands are inescapable, the one who never waits and never fails. The Death.

"ple., e sp-.e m, " I wasn't even able to talk, yet my eyes were unable to move away. I was staring into it's eyes and it was staring back into mine. That gaze was piercing in the depth of my soul.

||it's not the time for your end yet, mark my words. You're not meeting your end here. You have a lot to achieve. In fact, I've been trying to find a way to meet you. ||

I suddenly felt as if I was able to talk normally, I tried to ask the reason why he said that.

"w-wh-what does it m-mean by th-tha? W-wh-why meet me? "

||Who wouldn't want to meet the child who sank the heart of the ungrateful ones with fear? ||

||why am I still alive? || suddenly all that forced hindering me disappeared. Still, I'm still trembling in fear.

||looks like your soul adapted to spiritual state. Now you won't face any problem in remaining here. As for that, your life had much greater purpose. This is not even the beginning of the path you have chosen, O' the shadow of eclipse||

||. . . || I remained silent expecting that he would continue as he did. Those eyes are full of kindness yet I'm covering before them. Is this how someone who shoulders the burden of all deaths actually is? I felt like I'm with an angel. I was in fear yet my heart was at peace.

||wait here until it's the right moment, I'll keep you company. ||
