Darkness filled the room. But it wasn't anything like the darkness that filled the night when the sun retreated, no, this was different. It consumed all the light, stole it straight from existence. Like it never existed. Cold. Alone. How can anyone bear it? No living creature could be without the warmth of the light, and yet, here she was, standing before him. Standing before death itself. Both in this endless dark abyss.
"You asked for me?" she spoke, emotionless, kneeled on her left knee.
"Yes, I ask for your assistance." Death replied with an ice-dripped, bold tone.
She looked up at him. "My assistance?" she repeated, "Is this another trial? Have I not proven myself worthy yet?"
"No, you have proven yourself excellently, much to my expectance. This merely a privilege, a privilege to got to the Human world."
"The Human world?" she asked, surprised. Only Raiders, or those who have done something wrong are banished to the Human world, which is not a privilege! "Have I done something wrong? Have I done something to upset you?" she questioned.
"Relax, dear child. I am not banishing you, those who are banished can never return here. I am giving you the chance to be a Raider. If you choose to do this, you may come and go as you please. This is your reward for all that you have done." Reassuring as that sentence may have sounded; he still spoke coldly, as he ever has.
She sighed a bit of relief. "So then, what is it you ask of me? You said you needed my assistance."
"Yes, as with all good things, there is a catch. Nothing is free. You will carry out the duties of a Raider, as any would. You will live among the mortals, as one of them. Tell no one of you true self. If the humans knew we did exist, it will not bode well. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand," she answered, bowing her head. "Is there anything else you wish?"
"Remember what the punishments are for breaking the laws. Never forget who you are."
"Yes, my lord." She said, keeping her head down. She closed her eyes and faded into the darkness, just like the light.
Centuries have passed since that day. Not once has the mysterious girl ever stepped foot in that place, since she left. Not that she didn't want to, it was her home. No, she cannot return because she broke the most important law. One that must never be broken by her kind. One's that's punishment is worst than death. She can never return to her home, and must live forever among the mortals.
