Chapter 1 - The Little Death

The world forgets the dead. Graves crumble, names fade, and silence takes their place. Everything will be forgotten. Even The Greatest King, The Wise Poet, The Powerful Hero, eventually will be not remembered.

Ooh... But one does not, She does not forget everything that happens since the day she was born. You may wonder, why this child or could you even say that she is a child? were connected to life and death. What is she?

Who knows, because she also never know.

Through endless years, beneath the weight of eternity, the little girl walks. People start to whisper about her, they said the princess was cursed because she can't seems to grow her body. It remains a body of a ten years old kid. Her family knew began to avoid her. The King, her father passed away when she turned 17. Making her mother, The Dowager Queen Cannot stand the talk amongst the people. They cast her away, she's not invited anymore to the ball, to the birthday party, to the remembrance parade. She's forgotten by the world.

And, she's tired of waiting for a hand to reach her. So she chose to walk away. With no one notices.

They do not know, she does not know. For the burden she bear is a blessing that most great people envy. Given a gift she never asked for, she searches for death, but it flees from her grasp like a shadow in the dusk. And so, she walks on, through ruined cities and sacred lands, through the realms of men and the domains of spirits. Searching for an answer.

Along the way, she meets many—some who cherish life, some who curse it, some who are neither. She crosses paths with angels and devils, those who govern the flow of existence itself. So she decided, to help people about the things they vaguely scared about, Death. She began to take care of grave, remembering every name, every story on every bond. She intend to deliver the souls that lost its way, while some say she captures the wandering dead soul.

Her journey is long, endless.

As the time goes on. She became a myth, a children that friends with the death. She may appear as a child wearing long skirts and ruffle with Jasmine hair pin stick in her black hair. But know this, she doesn't like to be called a kid, she prefers people to call her little.

That's why, when a mother need to tell scary stories for their children. A story of The Little Death is a common pick for them.
