Death had traversed the icy mountains and had last reached the Crowfathers domain.. Only to find someone had beaten him to the old man.
A human woman, dressed in black trousers, black boots and a pink open sleeved jacket had beaten him, the woman in question had the Crowfather pinned to the floor by her boot resting on his chest and had a sword at his neck, "How do I stop this? How do I bring my family back?!" she cried, the Crowfather coughed up blood before spitting, "I will never tell you!"
the woman then raised her sword, "then I will kill you!" but Death ran over at inhuman speed and tackled the woman to the floor, knocking the sword out of her hand, Death summoned some ghouls to quickly hold her down,he would speak with this human later but he had come here to speak with the Crowfather and he did just that, "Crowfather, I have come here seeking your aid as how to prove my brothers innocence" Death said crouching down besides the injured old ma, "if a way existed, you will find it here" he looked to his left and clicked his fingers causing a portal to appear. "the Tree of Life" Death stood and began to walk to it, only for it to snap shut, Death hissed "open up the portal"
"no.. Not until you take this back" the Crowfather croaked lifting up the amulet. Death lowered his head in shame, "I cannot"
the woman who was still pinned was screaming and shouting, "don't kill him! He will tell me how to save my family!"
Death ignored her and the Crowfather continued also unaffected by the interruption, "you annihilated there flesh.. Why do you guard there souls?"
Death clenched his fists, "open the portal"
The Crowfather laughed, "over my dead body" and he still laughed, sickly.
Death released the ghouls holding the woman who eagerly took her sword, Death looked at the Crowfather "it's been arranged"
The Crowfather looked at the woman, "you fight for a lost cause. They are never coming back"
The human slammed the sword into him and in doing so breaking the amulet, Death heard the crack and watched as the amulet flew up and embedded itself in her chest, she let out a cry of pain and desperately tried to remove the shards but to no avail "GET THIS OFF ME!" she screamed falling to her knees Death rushed over and... A flash of light appeared
