I want to see the sky from above
Synopsis: Susan Sto Helit wants to die. Her Grandfather gives her opportunity to reconsider.
Prologue
She thought the darkness was something very common with her, she had always seen herself as a person with too much shadows inside her. Been Death's granddaughter was not easy, but what she knew was that she didn't want it. She just wanted to be a regular woman, not someone that could break the reality and time for her own selfish reasons.
Susan Sto Helit. That was not just a name, it was a title. Her parents had given her a special statute into the society, which she actually hated. No one wanted to share anything with a duchess, even if the duchess was not nobility as such. At least she was not feeling like one. But she was and that weirdly turned her into someone one could stay away. Far away.
She looked at herself in the mirror and felt nothing. It was her again, nothing had changed, she had no wrinkle on her face nevertheless she was thirty three years old. She was thirty three for many years and she knew whom to blame for that. Being Death's granddaughter was funny thing, nevertheless the fact that Death was not a person available for any kind of a physical contact. But she had the odd idea that her grandparent wanted to keep her away from Time, because he turned into sentimental old man while she was around, pushing her into stuff she would never do if she was to chose. Bur Death was Death and she couldn't change that. He wanted her there, by his side, he wanted her watching at him not as on metaphysical personalization, but as her grandfather. She didn't know why he kept her there in his domain for so long time. Perhaps he knew she would become old woman and die if she used to stay on the Disc.
But what Death didn't want was that Susan obsessively wanted to die.
