Chapter 1 – Death City

I was exhausted and surrounded by a vast desert in all directions I was defiantly gonna die out here if I couldn't find water and food soon so I continued on through the harsh terrain. I was basically out of energy by the time the sun began to fall and the moon started to rise, I knew I wouldn't make it through the night so I looked for shelter around me. I walked over the top of a sand hill so I'd be able to see better and what I saw was amazing. There about 100 metres in front of me was a city and as the night began to arrive I wasn't going to be taking any chances, I summoned up all my remaining energy and ran towards the city, the only thing keeping me going was the thought that with every step forward I took the closer I was to the city and the sooner I'd arrive to it. At last after about 30 seconds I reached the entrance to the city and with that sanctuary, it was dark and cold so I found the nearest sheltered area I could find and attempted to go to sleep but I was unable too because just as I was about to fall asleep and be taken away in dreams a massive storm started. It was pouring down with rain, the wind was fierce, the thunder was ear splitting and the lightning was just too scary because I'd never seen it before. I remained awake all night cold and wet from the rain so when the sun rose and the weather cleared up I was relaxed and went to sleep for a few hours. When I awoke the streets were filled with people and it was hard to get out from where I was lying I was surprised no one had noticed me or woken me up. When I had gotten past the people blocking me and onto the streets I decided to take a walk around town and see what I could find, it was a lovely walk I saw all kinds of things like some interesting house designs, some awesome restaurants', some lovely little shops and best of all the biggest thing in the city a massive castle like building.

"Um… excuse me miss what is that?" I asked pointing to the castle.

"Oh that, that's the D.W.M.A." She replied.

"What's the D.W.M.A?" I asked.

"D.W.M.A. stands for Death Weapon Meister Academy" she answered with a smile.

"So it's a school?" I asked.

"Yes, but it has a difference at this school everyone is partnered up with one person being able to transform into some kind of weapon and the other being able to wield the weapon." She answered.

"Who do they partner the people up?" I asked.

"They partner the people up by how well their soul wave lengths match" she said "and now if you don't mind I must be off or I'll be late."

"Ok thanks for the help." I said as she walked away. I stood at the foot of the massive staircase up to the school and stood there for about half an hour until I finally decided to walk up the staircase and into the school and have a look around. When I reached the top of the staircase and entered the school I could tell that something was different about the school but I somehow felt that I was meant to be here now and that I was meant to attend this school. I continued to walk around trying not to be seen be anyone in case they thought I was skipping class or trespassing and planning to steal stuff. I thought he was in the clear until I heard someone call out to him from behind me; there was I slight pause before I turned around to face my fate. When I turned around I saw that the person that had called out to me was defiantly a teacher and by the looks of it he seemed to be a professor.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Just looking around." I answered.

"Explain yourself fully?" the teacher asked.

"Ok well I was lost in the desert and it was getting dark so I climbed a hill to help me look for shelter and I saw this city so I came into the city and tried to sleep but I couldn't because of the storm. When the sun came up I finally got to sleep and after I woke up I looked around the city saw this asked a kind lady about it, then I stood at the bottom of the stairs for a while until I finally decided to come inside and take a look around." I told him.

"Ok but you shouldn't be walking around here people may think your up to things." he said but the weirdest thing was that when he said it, it looked like he was looking into my soul "hmmm, I shall take to see Lord Death he may be interested in you."

The teacher took me to a room where I was to meet this Lord Death and when we got there I found out he was the Grim Reaper, I was shocked, I was disoriented it frightened me, I thought I was going to die, but then it was all explained to me and I found out that this place was called Death city and I was no longer afraid.

"Your right Stein this boy does have an interesting soul he should be enrolled here but we have no partner for him." Lord Death said to the teacher who had brought me here.

"I don't mind him being in my class without a partner but until he finds a partner he can help me." Stein replied.

"Well ok then." Said Lord Death "You can start tomorrow, school starts at 9. Do you know how to get home?"

"I don't have a home I only got here last night." I said as I explained everything to him.

"Hmm well I know of this one house that's vacant and you can have and the neighbours are students here at the academy so you can live there." Said Lord Death "I normally don't do this but here's some money to get you started and here is the key to your home it's address is 245 Death road."

"Ok thank you Lord Death I look forward to being a student here." I said "oh and what am I? Am I a weapon or a meister?"

"You are not able to transform into a weapon according to your soul so you will be a weapon ok" answered Lord Death.

"Ok thank you once again." I said as I left and headed to my new home. The walk wasn't too far but it was still a bit far from the school so I knew I'd have to get some form of transportation. When I finally got to the house I saw a motorbike parked outside the house next to me it looked awesome I went up for a closer look and I was just about to touch it when I heard a yell from someone at the door it must have been the owner of the bike he had pointy white hair, super sharp teeth, was wearing red jeans and a yellow and black jacket. I apologised to him and went inside and went straight to bed.
