Hello Everybody! How I've missed you all. So let me jump right into explanations, so some of you know that earlier this year I had the misfortune of being diagnosed with lung cancer. Now long story short, wrong diagnosis, and the medication I was taking for that illness caused me to fall even more ill. Now before you assume I'm back to writing Zootopia stories, let me assure you I'm not. While I'll still be active in the Zootopia community, I have no intention of finishing any of those stories. BUT! If you are interested in adopting any of my stories you can pm me and I will be more than glad to relinquish my babies to you.

Now onto the next matter of business. Why is this story under the My Little Pony tag? Well after much convincing from a close friend of mine, I decided to write her fanfiction. Now I usually don't but I sort of owe her from when she wrote mine awhile back so . . . what can you do? Now bear with me because with fall classes starting back and me knowing virtually nothing about MLP I am looking for a knowledgeable co-author. Someone who can assist me with writing out the characters.

Now without further ado here's the pilot chapter for her story. Now again bear with me because this story gets convoluted at times. well here we go.
(See end for more notes)

Cerline walked the halls of her parents castle with pride. Whenever she stepped over a dead body she smiled. Blood streaked the walls and floor along with entrails and organs all by her doing. Every so often Cerline would stop to admire how a guard's neck was twisted or how a maid had missing body parts. Being the goddess of death meant that all death came by her doing, which she took pride in. Cerline casually took a glance at the large golden grandfather clock and sighed, the clock read 3:13. Nothing incredibly important about that time, in fact time to her was useless because no matter how she died or who killed her, she would never stay dead.

She rounded a corner and walked into a narrow hallway, at the end of the hall was a sight that she never tired of. There against the back wall sat her two older brothers Issachar and Issac, sleeping peacefully while enshrouding each other in a loving embrace. She chuckled at the sight and said "Hello brothers, I hope I'm not interrupting anything." And as if a spell were broken the two leapt from their slumber and drew their weapons.

Issachar the god of light drew his golden harp, while his younger brother drew his spell book and sword. Issachar growled lightly at his sister before saying " CERLINE YOU WENCH! YOU HAVE A CROSSED THE LINE." Issac not wanting to interrupt his brother nodded his head in agreement. "HOW COULD YOU KILL YOUR OWN MOTHER AND FATHER?!" Cerline smirked and said "correction dear brother, I killed your parents. You may identify yourself with those wretched beings, but they were no mother or father of mine."

Issachar's jaw fell to the floor at the statement. " not your parents? Not Your Parents?! NOT YOUR PARENTS?! THEY LOVED YOU, NO US ALL THE SAME! How could you betray them like that? They cared for you, loved you, treated you better in some instances than myself or Issac." Instead of talking Cerline advanced forward. "you know what I find strange dear brother? The god of light and the god death falling in love and having children. What kind of unholy perversion was that? How can you claim to be a righteous being, but call the god of death your mother? Hmm answer me that."

Issachar opened his mouth to speak, but found his quiet brother Issac speaking for him. " You have no right call love unholy, you can't even comprehend what it means to surrender something in order to gain" Issac said while steeping back beside his brother. Cerline cocked her head in mock confusion and said " Expound for me Issac." Issac took a deep breath and said "Both our parents sacrificed something to create us, our father lost his ability to fly, while mother lost her ability to reap souls. They knew the risks and gave into the consequences to have love, and how would they feel knowing you are flaunting their powers around killing innocent gods and people."

Cerline chuckled at her brother's mini speech and said "dear brother you and I both know no one in innocent, including you." Issac's face flushed in color when she said that. "What do you mean, including me?" Cerline's face grew stern and said "Don't play stupid with me, you and I both know you reap souls, even after your father and brother worked so tirelessly to get you to stop. Now how would that poor excuse of a god react to knowing you lied to him. Oh I know he won't react because I killed him."

Issac's hands cupped his mouth as he fell on his knees, never before had he felt so defeated. His sister was right, even after trying to get him to stop, he still indulged in those nightly escapades. He felt his whole body shake when his brother's gaze fell upon him, Issac waited patiently for his brother to lash out at him but it never came. Instead his brother reached down, lifted him up, and said. "Issac, please listen to what I have to say. I am not angry at you or even remotely disappointed, in fact I'm disappointed in myself for trying to change you. I know that being a grey child is hard for you, always having both good and evil to keep in check and I want you to know that I'm proud of you. You are by far the nicest god I've ever had the pleasure to know, and the fact that you have to reap souls to survive doesn't bother me. So let us stop conversing with this devil and finish her off once and for all?"

Issac looked at his brother and said "You're right. We've chatted long enough." The two brothers stood in fighting stances and glared at their sister. Cerline shook her head and said "What can't you understand? I CAN'T DIE! Every time you kill me I come back to life fully re-energized and ready for some more. You two can't keep burning the candle stick at both ends, if you catch my drift."

The two brothers gave each other uneasy glances before Issac stepped forward and said "There is a reason you haven't killed us yet, isn't there?" For the first time that day Cerline cracked a smile saying "YES ISSAC YES! Finally we're making progress. Now a reaper's job is to collect every living thing's soul correct?" Before either brother could answer Cerline cut them off saying "of course everybody knows that, but the problem with living things is that they are always multiplying, everyday more and more children are being born and the world is getting larger. I don't like that and so one day I asked myself is there some way to purge the entire world? Hey guess what? I was right" She said while drawing her scythe out.

"After doing some reading I found an old passage that stated that if at anytime the giver of life and the taker of life were to combine their powers, they could purge the world and start anew pretty cool huh? The brothers stayed quiet while Cerline charged an attack. "I know Issachar will never agree to that, but since Issac is a hybrid then he could jus- NOOOO!" Issac said while interrupting his sister. "I will never destroy the entire world. NEVER!" Cerline just shook her head and said "Issac I honestly didn't want to resort to this but you leave me no choice." Then without warning Cerline teleported over to Issachar and struck him down.

Issachar stumbled back a few steps only to be caught by his brother, who began to cover up his wound. "i-issac i-i'm fine, it's only a flesh wound." Issac didn't know what to say, because he didn't hear what he said. All Issac could think about was why he couldn't cry. " I . . can't cry? Why can't i shed tears?" Cerline tried her best to hold back snickers, but to no avail "HA HA HA, wow how stupid are you? YOU ARE A REAPER! We can't shed tears for the dead . . . . or dying."Cerline waltzed over to her brother and sat down in front of him saying "And here's the funny part, you have no choice but to purge the world now because without the god of life around every living thing will slowly die."

Issac wanted nothing more than to reach for his sword and slice his sister to pieces, or use his spell book to cast a fierce dragon and devour her up, but deep down he knew she was right. Issachar began to stir slightly and said " d-don't li-listen t-o h-e-r. i-i will b-e alright." Issac looked down at him and tried to weep for him again, only to be reminded that he couldn't. Cerline stood up and said "look purging the world doesn't harm anyone, it's just a flash of light and bam everyone's gone including me."
Issachar propped himself up against his brother and said " Issac, even though it absolutely kills me to say this . . . heh no pun intended, she's right. without me every living thing will die. And to be honest with dad gone, there was no way the earth could've survived that much longer with me around."

Issac shook his head and yelled "DON'T SAY THAT! Don't tell me to kill everybody, i-i couldn't live with myself knowing I did." Issachar looked to his brother and with a tear said "I don't have much longer, soon I will dissipate. you need to purge the world at least she would die with it." Issachar painstakingly stood up and faced his brother. With no words said the two drew each other into a hug. Issac let out a strained chuckle and said "I don't want to let go." Issachar smiled and said "neither do I, but I must go, if I'm to die, then I wish not to in the presence of you."

With a little struggle Issachar pried himself off of his brother and staggered to the entrance of the great hall, not once looking back. Once out of sight Issachar let his spirit leave his body, finally at peace. Cerline watched as Issac picked up his brother's harp and drew it into his chest, with a sigh she turned towards the exit and began to leave. Issac looked up and said "Where are you going? I don't know how to . . . uhh" Cerline looked back and said "Just leave, that's all you have to do. Use a star pad and I'll take care of the rest" and with that she turned and left for the exit.

Issac wasted not time, drawing up his sword, spell book, and brother's harp he began to head to the opposite end of the hall, where another exit was. Not looking back Issac reluctantly began to walk forward. He knew his exact destination, the garden. The garden had always been Issac's place of refuge, whenever the burden of being a god was getting to him, he would always hide away in the garden. It was like a second bedroom to him. Issac passed a full length mirror in the hall and couldn't help but look at his reflection. There he stood a little over six feet with sandy colored hair and grey eyes. Issac began to feel at his face which was looking much older than he actually was, he began to pick and pinch his face as if the reflection he was witnessing was all but an illusion. Shaking his head he continued on to the garden.

10 minuets later

Issac stood in the middle of the garden facing his target, the star pad. The star pad was about 6 feet in length and 3 feet off the ground. It stood firmly planted in the ground, shaped as a five pointed star. Before he could step onto the pad, Cerline appeared from seemingly nowhere and said "It's all thanks to you that my wildest dreams came true." Issac said nothing as she continued to speak "You know when I first fought you two in the judgement hall, I was sure that I would kill you two but I lost. Then I came back a second time and lost again, and again, and again until finally I prevailed. It really seems unreal right now." Issac just scoffed and said "You haven't prevailed over anything, Issachar would have killed you again if you hadn't cheated. I know you did."

Cerline shook her head and said "just leave, there's nothing here for you anymore" Cerline said while walking away. Issac confused asked" Why would you kill mother and father? Honestly it's just us two, you can answer truthfully." Issac waited for a response and when he was met with silence, he asked another question "Was it because you felt ashamed for being the daughter of an angel?" Still nothing, Cerline had refused to look her brother. Issac was about to press on when he instead asked "What exactly am I supposed to do? I don't know how to purge a world?" Cerline looked at her brother and said "just leave this world, and I'll handle the rest."

Issac frowned at the command, "You want me to just leave? How does that erase the world, and where do I go?" Frustrated, Cerline said "Just use the pad, it'll take you to your destination." Issac turned his back to her and said "You know our parents loved us all the same." When he was met with silence, he activated the star pad and was enveloped in a bright yellow light. The pad let out a lour whir and whisked Issac away. Cerline watched as her brother left and said "Yea I know he did."

Well that was . . . . something I guess. I didn't write this chapter, I just did my best to proofread and give my thoughts on it. Personally i feel like it was a bit rushed, but hey what can you do about it? Now chapter two should be here sometime tomorrow, and that one I will have written. So be on the lookout for that, and I'll reiterate I am looking for a co-author on this story. If you're interested, please don't hesitate to pm me. Trust me I read all my messages (mostly). Don't forget to read and review and I'll shall see you tomorrow.
