The moon's shadows cascaded over the city's calm demeanor, tiled rooftops were settled and in place. Footsteps ran over the roof, they didn't move or unsettle anything, everything was still and nothing was different. The footsteps swiftly ran across the rooftop soundless, and the runner invisible in the shadow of the moon. A mere abomination of a human was lurking around the streets, it was murdering people and taken their souls, it was a keshian now. It was a person sized with a huge arm as a spear it can shoot as far as it wants. Several Weapons and Meisters have failed in defeating it, a pair even died so it was time the DWMA were to send out a level three Soul Reaper. They sent out the pair known as "The Edge of a Shadows Untold night."
a long title yes but they've earned it nonetheless.
It lurked below them, Amarnath's partner was in his hand, the Weapon was a girl named Silver. She was able to turn into a small assassin's dagger and could emit smoke if needed.
Amarnath was sixteen and he was tall with long brown hair and green eyes, he was a level three Soul Reaper and wasn't afraid of anything after all he's never even been seen on missions. He saw it walk around and shoot a spear at a civilian and skewered it through their head, no point in saving them they're already dead. Amarnath thought to himself, he stepped and made a pebble fall from the roof he was on, he had timed everything out ahead of time. The pebble was knocked down, next was to loop around to a side roof about sixty three degrees away from the last rock. Then it was to watch while the beast was inspecting the rock knocked off a roof, that was the time to kill the keshian. Everything was going good, the keshian walked over to the rock after eating the humans soul, it speared through the wall and let out a shrilling screech of a banshee. Amarnath jumped from the roof and sliced the monster's throat, quick, unexpected, painless, and most important quiet death.
"Quiet down, you're too loud." Amarnath said, his weapon morphed back into a girl.
Silver stood tall with long silver hair down to her thighs but she kept it up most of the time. The keshian soul was floating around in the air, she took the soul and ate it.
"That makes ninety nine souls now." Amarnath said, he has been keeping track of the keshian souls they've captured so far. "All that's left is the soul of a witch." he said.
They headed back to the DWMA to report to the man in charge, Death The Kid. He had taken over to fill the place of lord Death while he took a break for a few years.
"Sir we have completed our mission tasked to us, we have ninety nine Keshian souls now, we're ready to take on and kill a witch." Amarnath reported to Death The Kid, the air was cold with the smell of death around them constantly.
"Very well done you two, you show no lack in skill and your fighting style is perfectly symmetrical, it's amazing." Death K said, he was intrigued he already had three death scythe's with him at the DWMA, the Thompson Sisters and Soul.
Death K explained where to go hunt down a witch, Amarnath understood it would take a lot of skill to take down a witch, especially if he were to do it in one slash it'd be nearly impossible to do such a thing.
The witch was in the middle of the desert, she was on a wagon all by herself, the wagon being pulled by horses. The wheels in the back kicked up a huge mist of a sand trail going down the desert, she couldn't be screaming 'I'm right here' more than she already is. Amarnath ran down in the sand trail keeping himself hidden, then a blue thing rolled under the wagon, and then it exploded, destroying the wagon.
The witch floated up into the air and turned around. "You can't hide from me you little soul reaper, I'll blow you out of the water!" she shouted.
The witch was covered in blue clothing with shark bite styles all over it. "Give up your soul witch it's time to die." Amarnath said to the witch.
"Be careful, countless people have died to witches before." Silver said to him in her weapon form.
"I know what I'm doing, I won't let you down."
"Good."
The witch raised her hands: she started moving them, then she started chanting; "shark shark fish fish, GREAT WHITE CANNON!" a huge blast of white magic ripped a line in the desert.
Amarnath dodged to the side and the attack missed, it exploded in white where it had missed and left a huge line. The sand kicked up from the explosion and shrouded the place in blinding rough sand. Amarnath hid in the sand and waited to strike against the witch by hiding inside the cloud of sand.
The witch started again, "Shark and fish, SAND SHARK ATTACK!" several sharks appeared as the sand was raised from the movement of the land sharks beneath it.
Amarnath watched carefully as the raised sand raced towards him, it was a huge threat to him and he didn't particularly like the thought of being bit by the sharks below him. He jumped up and stabbed into the ground where the sand was moving around, he stabbed the first few but the last one leaped out and scratched his body with it's rough skin, the scales were like barbed wire and with the sand there too it didn't help but hurt more with the sand pushing into the wound. Amarnath held Silver up and cut it from the mouth down the next time the sand demon had jumped out of the sand. It fell on the ground and disappeared, suddenly there was another blast of magic from the witch, the magic exploded where it cut and left sand flying everywhere after the explosion. Amarnath hid in the shadows of the sand and said "Soul resonance." he quietly passed the soul waves back and forth between him and his partner, he had mastered soul resonance and didn't need to scream when he did he was as quiet as a shadow of the moon.
Amarnath came launching out of the sand glowing blue from the soul, he kicked the witch out of the air and landed on her spine.
The witch stood up and aimed her hand at Amarnath, "Shark shark fish fish." she said readying a powerful spell.
Amarnath punched her in the stomach as hard as he could and brought her to her knees, "the Judge." Amarnath said, he kicked her back extremely hard and she hit the ground on all fours, "the Jury." he walked and held out his blade as it extend to look like an axe, his partner was strong, one of the strongest weapons he's ever trained. He raised up the blade and chopped her head off then split the skull to make sure she was dead witches were tricky, Silver morphed back into her human form, "the Executioner." The soul of the witch was floating about where the witch was killed.
Silver picked up the witch soul in her hands and looked at Amarnath, "This is it huh? We finally did it we killed ninety nine keshian and one witch." she sighed a deep exhale of relief and stress and ate the soul. Her body glowed in the light, power surged through her body her body raised off the ground slightly, and then she fell back down to the ground; "we did it, I'm a death scythe now, I was only with you for a few months but I feel like your my best friend." she said.
"You've been willing to cooperate with me the whole time that's definitely something that helped you grow so fast only seven months and you're a death scythe now." Amarnath said, this was the third weapon he had turned into a death scythe, one named Red an actual scythe, and the other one named Violet who was a war axe.
"Let's see what this is like then." Silver said, she turned into a assassins knife completely covered in silver with a red Japanese style wrap over the handle, the blade was covered with dragons and fire. Amarnath slashed her around in the air with ease, her soul was already more powerful than it had been before, she was a strong death scythe probably capable of slashing pure metal in half with no problem. With being a death scythe also came new powers to unlock but she'll have to find that out herself, Amarnath wasn't able to help her out with that.
"Let's return to the academy Silver." Amarnath said, Silver morphed back into a human and started to walk next to Amarnath in the desert.
They approached the academy around an hour after the mission and they headed right into the Death room.
"How'd it go?" Death K asked.
"I'm happy to inform you that there's another death scythe in the world." Amarnath reported back.
"I knew you wouldn't fail me, I have something for you two." in a matter short time every teacher in the Academy was in the death room to congratulate the meister. Death K started to talk "congratulations you two, I have an announcement as well, with Soul moving away we need death scythes here, so as of today all three scythes that you have turned into death scythes are gonna be here at the school."
A girl dressed in black walked in alongside a guy dressed in yellow and red. It was the other death scythes Amarnath worked with, Violet and Red.
"Another knock out huh? Nice job I guess, you can't even finish your last one though." Violet said walking in, she wore a black outfit made into a classic combat style with several openings for flexibility in the back, arms, and legs.
"She means hello." Red said, he was wearing a black and red outfit with heavy armor on it and hardened to perfection.
"Nice to see you too guys." Amarnath said.
"This is the new death scythe huh? I must say you've done well especially with your flexible soul." Violet said.
"But you're not done yet, there's still one more person you need to transform to fulfill your Father's wish." Red said.
Amarnath sighed "I know but I'll do it, it's what he wanted, four death scythes starting with a person of strength f, going to a person of bravery, then to a person of shadows, and then going to a person of challenge as my final test."
"I'm glad you understand, now head out to the assassingment board, your new partner is waiting for you." Death K said.
"Understood, brief Sliver on her duties as I obviously don't have the time, find me later kid." Amarnath left, he went to where he was told to.
There was a skinny kid, he was short and shy, he didn't seem like he knew what he was doing, Amarnath walked up to him. The kid looked up to him and asked; "Woah are you my Meister? You look pretty strong, I'm Gray!" he said.
"Amarnath." he said, Amarnath walked over to the assassingment board and picked up a level two assassingment, gave it to the secretary and got a piece of paper. "Let's go kid." Amarnath said to him.
Gray followed close behind, "where are we going Amarnath?" he asked.
"Your first assassingment."
