The hunting memory...
It was 50 years ago.. Out of all my years of reaping souls and sending them to the afterlife. The one time I take over death's main duty to give that poor man a much-needed break. I was sent here.
I saw how the goddess of life and the god of death talk fondly of this human. This one girl. So I went to see what all the talk was about. This girl was the sweetest human I have ever seen. I always visited her among the stars. I saw her play with a small hedgehog, always hugging him.
She brightened up my day even when it was tough. That was until. I got the list of souls to send to the afterlife. Many scientists from the ark.
Walking the empty ark as I send one by one home. Intell, I went to the main bridge. Out of everyone to die that day, it had to be this sweet girl.
Never in my life have I cried so hard. I never used my true form to reap someone's soul, but I was so overwhelmed by emotions that I decided that the mist of my true form could hide these tears as I sent Maria over to the afterlife. It was the longest 9 minutes in my life. Taking her hand. Telling her she did a good job of saving her brother. Telling Maria that her grandpa is waiting for her.
I walk with her. I grab her cold hands. Guided her to the afterlife slowly. I let her see the stars one last time. I let her see Earth one last time. She thanked me for letting her see the world one last time.
Maria walks over the light as I turn around, as I let the mist of my form leave as my quills puff up and cry with the stars. I have never walked a soul to their afterlife so slowly. I guided Maria to the light. Like a slow dance meant to never end.
I told no one who soul I reap that day. I knew everyone would be devastated by her death. So I keep quiet. It's been 50 years, and that day haunts me in my sleep.
Week one: day 2 memories!
