Light Yagami lifted himself off his bed off bones and stretched his black wings up toward the dark abysmal black and grey sky of the Shinigami realm. He cracked his neck and heard bone rub against bone. His hollow eyes observed his surroundings rock, ash, and bone stretched as far as the eye could see. His black taloned feet tread across the cold hard ground. He shuffled into his usual seat of stone above the pool in which he spent countless hours observing and pouring over the human world and his own mistakes.
How had it come to this?
He knew very well how he become a Shinigami. After Ryuk had written his name in his Death Note he entered a state of none being. Trapped in never-ending stretch of white. He walked, and walked but he never got anywhere. Time seemed to have stood still never moving forward. Then he felt fear creep in. This was it. This would be his eternity. If he could go back and just have left that notebook where he had found it, would he? No life before the Death Note was just like this, the same realm of nothingness. He didn't know how long it was when he began to truly lose his mind. He first thought he imagined Ryuk standing there in front of him, his darkness standing out so strongly amongst the white.
"Hello Ryuk." He whispered happy of the company even if it was only his imagination.
Ryuk laughed. "Hello Light. You just so happen to be the luckiest human I have ever met, not that I've met many."
"Living in such splendor." His voice was weak as he curled in on himself.
"Take my hand Light. The Shinigami king wants a word."
That was all it took. The king offered him a life as a God of death and he took it in favor of life in purgatory. After all he had always wanted to be a God. But there were rules for him that were not in place for the other Shinigami. For the first four years he would remain only in the Shinigami realm. If he was found to be writing names for any sort of agenda it would be straight back to purgatory and that was what Light feared most. These were the rules he lived by for the past three years and eleven months and 27 days. He only wrote names when necessary and rarely left his self imposed section of the realm never mind the realm itself.
The world in the pool became clear. The good and evil people went on with their lives. The good people sparing no thought to what Kira had tried to do for them. Tried. It pained Light. And the evil people living without fear of Kira's riotous judgment. It sickens me. And then a smile, that twisted smile crossed Lights gnarled teeth. He focused on what he wished to see.
He didn't notice Ryuk come up behind him as he watched.
"That girl again. Don't tell me you've finally grown a heart Light." Ryuk chuckled. Light lifted his head and turned toward Ryuk. He smirked.
"You know me better than that Ryuk."
"Than who is she." Ryuk asked in confusion. He had never been the good on the up keep.
"Her name is Via." Light said simply.
"I can see that much." Ryuk snorted. "What value does she have to you?" He looked at the pale willowy girl with raven black hair and wide innocent green eyes sitting at a desk taking notes amiably.
"She, she will be the new Kira. The Goddess of the new world; and I, I will be the God of Death at her side."
