Introduction

"Ryuk, say hello to my friends."

"Uh, yeah, I'm Ryuk."

The fates stared up in horror and shock at the dark, tall beast before them. In contrast to their pale world he stuck out like a soar thumb. The small and light colored Fates turned their bewildered solid gazes onto the fate who escorted this monster here.

"What-what is it? Chess?" Asked one.

"He's a Shinigami." The fate, Chess, said.

"Sh-shinigami!? Can you bring a Shinigami here?" Asked the same fate.

"Apparently." Said another more amused, "Don't think the Old Hag will be happy about this though."

Chess slapped her hand down on the game table before the fates, "Shut up you guys. I brought Ryuk here for a reason... I think we should replay Ryuk's Course."

"You can only replay a game once," Snipped a fate.

"We haven't replayed that one..." Said yet another.

Chess interrupted them again, "Listen! This time I think we should play for the notebook piece as the goal, instead of trying to knock everyone else out of the game."

"The notebook? That thing was just a tool of some kind."

"No, no," Chess argued, "I don't think it was, because it was a Shinigami Death Note."

They were silent in surprise and confusion. "Wait, what do you mean?" The Fates asked.
