o death.

“ if you wish too then i won’t do anything to disallow it. ever wonder why people who die have this weird image all the time when they come back, s’because they were indecisive if they wanted to see me. “ they chuckled, standing up.

                   Unuhia te rito o te harakeke, kei hea te kōmako e kō?                          Ui mai ki ahau, ❝ He aha te mea nui o te Ao? ❞

As he listened, he began to fidget. Knowing they would find him was a blessing, but the thought that he was coming so close to death - literally, in fact - made him incredibly uneasy. Would he remember any of this later? Or would this only feel to him like a dream, distant and fading? His dark eyes closed for a moment when they patted his cheek.

the deity's eyes softened some, crouching down just a touch to stroke his cheek, sighing a little. 

“ you have always held the team my dear, no matter which you i see come to me in the long run, “ they murmured, hand resting on his shoulder.  

Jhanna hadn’t called for anyone, at least, she didn’t think so. She had just been meditating; preparing for the battle to come and wishing the death upon her enemies. She wanted revenge for all the Omatran blood that had been shared. 

       💀

A venomous look in his eyes, he regarded the other with a scoff, “Of course ya can’t.” he growled, muted sneer on his face. Typical. These supernatural beings always had an excuse for this kind of thing, didn’t they? Rolling his eyes, Mike shrugged,

“Well, at least this trip wasn’t for nothin’. Can’t have Shredhead havin’ somethin’ like that at his fingertips. He’s dangerous enough as it is.” he said, resting his hand on his hip, 

“ yes well, even us deities don’t get what we want. i don’t know how he managed to make something that i can’t take off myself but he’s done all this so it isn’t much of a surprise, “ they muttered, tone getting frustrated since mike was just pissed. didn’t blame him since they probably were a little disappointing in how they were at this point. 

“ at least im useful, “ del scowled before looking at him at the mention of the crows, head turning to look to the distance, eyes wide ---- they’d been lied to.

         He’d been thinking–well, he’d always tended to do so, but the rain was at least waking him up in this world. There was no coffee, so he had to make do, okay?

         Brown eyes flicked upward as he noticed the lack of wetness, before they glanced over at his new companion. Were he more awake, or at least willing to protest, he would’ve had a lot of questions. After all, no human up and knew his name unless they’d interacted with an alternate, but on the other hand…

          Something felt different. Don wasn’t sure what, but he knew.

         💀

“ i would offer coffee but i hadn’t known i’d find you here. i was honestly exploring this new dimension i jumped “ they muttered, looking down at him with a small smile before shaking their head.

“ never really are for i am everywhere at once. “ they added, glancing up once a crow placed themself on their shoulder.

“ hm. seems that i might have jumped to your past ( yet still the future ) ... “ they mulled, free hand scratching the crow under their neck before perking. oh gosh if he didn’t know who they were ---- 

         💀

“ i am death. i occasionally break my own rules but only with deals such as this one. its likely you were going to be found by one of your brothers anyway ----- so you’d be cared for yet it was up to your decision to fight && continue to live && then mine if i could allow it. “ they replied before gently patting his cheek.
