Dying hurts. It hurts like Hell.
Ironically, Hell is where I believe I ended up.
Why you say?
Well, for one, the fact that I am floating in pitch black nothingness unable to move a single limb might give you a clue.
Or maybe it's the fact that a toy-like version of the grim reaper is floating in front of me staring at me like some sort of strange lunatic.
Wait, what level of Hell is this?
I was paraded out of my thoughts when the skull faced thing suddenly moved towards me.
My eyes widened and then quickly shut closed. If I'm gonna be tortured, I'd rather not see the pleasure on his face as he does it.
But a minute goes by and I feel nothing. Is he playing mind games with me?
Slowly opening my eyes, I found myself in some sort of spherical sky. The more my eyes adjusted to the light, the more the sky looked like a crude child's drawing.
When I looked out in front of me, I nearly jumped out of my skin. That weird reaper was still here!
I stared at him for a few seconds until he started to move. What was he going to do?
"Hello there," he said in a cutesy voice, "My name is Lord Death, but you may call me Death-sama!"
My mind went blank.
For a few moments there was nothing but silence, then Death-sama spoke again.
"Hmmm?" He put his finger on his non existent lips and cocked his head, "Maybe you didn't hear me? Alright, I'll introduce myself again. He-"
I went to put my hands up to stop him, but I realized I didn't have hands.
"What?!" I looked down at myself, "Why am I glowing this weird blue color? And where are my limbs?!"
Death-sama just laughed, "No need to worry my dear, what your seeing right now is your soul."
I stared blankly at him, "My soul?"
Death-sama looked puzzled, "Hmmm? Surely now you've heard of a soul?"
"Ah, Y-yes, it's just," I stumbled over my words trying to explain, "I never thought my soul would look like this-" I looked down, "this pudgy round thingy."
Death-sama laughed and if I could've blushed I would have. Maybe if I wasn't so freaked out I could have worded that a little better...
"I do admit that your soul is a little more odd than the average soul but, I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe it as a 'pudgy round thingy'."
Death-sama laughed harder and I started to get a little agitated. Stop making fun of me!
Suddenly a beam of blue light shot out of me and would have hit Death-sama if he didn't move at the last second.
"Now, now," he wagged his square finger at me, "Be careful with your emotions, my dear, your a soul, and that means your Soul Renascence can be affected by your emotions."
I felt sorry but, also confused, "Why would my Soul Renascence be affected?"
"Because," he put his hand on his black body, "Your soul is sealed away in here -your body- so when your Soul Renascence is used, you can control it but," he moved his square hand away mimicking something escaping, "When your soul is free, your body no longer contains your Soul Renascence, and it can be dangerous-not only to yourself- but to others as well,"he moved his eyes towards me as if he were staring into mine, "Get it?"
I pondered this for a moment.
"So, your saying that are emotions are actually our Soul Renascence?"
Death-sama glided backwards.
"Hmmm, maybe, then again, maybe not?"
I felt agitated again, but this time, I willed myself to calm down. I don't want to damage anyone today.
"So, Death-sama," I sighed, "When exactly am I going to Hell?"
I looked around, "Because this place doesn't really look like Hell."
He raised his nonexistent eyebrow at me.
"D-don't get me wrong or anything," I chuckled nervously, imagining all the horrible things he could do to me for offending his lair; He is the grim reaper after all, "If this is what Hell looks like then, I'm totally fine with it, really."
Death-sama chuckled again.
"Who said you were going to Hell? Hmm?" He held me awkwardly, "I would never send a poor innocent soul like yourself to a place meant for monsters."
I tried to find a way out of his hold but, being a soul and all, you can't move much.
"Then, were exactly am I going?"
He let me go and glided towards a pretty purple mirror. Was that there before?
He tapped the mirror and showed me my next destination.
My heart (or should I say soul?) did a backflip.
"You are going to my world, the world of Soul Eater!"
