"Grim Reapers are nothing more than threats to our existence. Send her to hell."
"But King Algol, you have to be kidding! This young girl… Only three weeks old found on the side of the street! How could you?!"
"Talim, please do not argue with me. You know it's for the best."
"No! It's not! I don't understand why you think this is the right thing to do when it's not!"
Algol let out a deep sigh and took the infant from Talim's arms, as the infant started to cry.
"The child deserves to die, young one."
He turned his back on Talim and vanished into thin air, reappearing at the edge of a volcano. The infant continued to cry, and it seemed to be getting louder. Algol put his arms out in front of him, still holding the child, and let go. He stood there as he watched the infant dissolve into nothing over the blazing heat of the lava. He snarled and walked away.
Talim was sitting in her room, having her hair done by her grandmother. No one knows about the infant, or anything about Talim ever finding it. Algol still talked with Talim and her family, as do they talk to Algol. There was a sudden knock on the door, and Talim's mother answered it.
"Hello. Who are you?" her mother asked, as she looked up at the lady at the door.
"I am Samantha. I must speak to your daughter immediately."
Talim's mother blinked a few time, and replied, "Yes. Yes you may. Talim! Someone wants to see you!"
"Okay mom! I'll be there soon!" She said. People sometimes were confused as to why she still lived with her parents, or even how her grandparents still live. Talim walked up to the door and looked into Samantha's red eyes, which gave her a feeling of unease.
"Hello Talim. I am Samantha. Please come with me."
Talim, figuring out that Samantha was only a few years younger than her, felt a tad safer around Samantha, whom she had just met only a few seconds ago.
"All right." Talim said, and followed Samantha out into the marsh. Samantha sat down and Talim stood there, waiting for Samantha to speak.
"Do you remember the little girl?" Samantha asked, showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Hmm? Which one? I've encountered many in my lifetime." Talim replied. Samantha let out a deep sigh and pulled out a picture frame from her pocket.
"This one." She said, as she handed the frame face down to Talim. Talim turned it over and saw a picture of the little girl who Algol claimed was a grim reaper. Talim's eyes began to water. Just thinking about wanted to make her burst into tears.
"Yes. I do remember this innocent little girl." Talim said as she handed the picture frame back to Samantha.
"She's still alive." Samantha said. Talim froze.
"She survived all that…? And I never knew?"
"It was forbidden of me to ever tell anyone, not even King Algol."
Samantha said, as she stood up to walk away. Talim grabbed onto Samantha's shoulder.
"Wait," Samantha turned around, "Tell me where she is."
Samantha took out a piece of paper and handed it to her. "She's at a hospital in New Zealand. Good luck finding her." She said, and she ran off. Talim stared at the piece of paper in awe, and ran off into the distance.
