I died… I was dead… I thought everything would be over once we died… but I do not hold the same beliefs any longer… because right this moment… I saw with my very own eyes that…

° MORTE I °
A flushed and tired face was smiling at me. I felt big hands wrap a blanket over my body. Someone who helped to deliver me – I don't know who she was – was passing me over to my new mother…
It felt weird. I had been reborn, yet I retained my old memories within my head. It was as though I were a 35-year-old woman trapped in an infant's body. Moreover, I'm not sure if I should be grateful or not, because somehow this woman – my new mother – knows that I am an old soul who is dwelling in her new supposed daughter's body.
"Welcome to the new world. I am your mother, sweetheart."
° Sephira Morte °
So, the explanation to my situation is that I was reincarnated into a family of reborn-souls. To be precise, it is a kind of game gifted by the gods. The rules are:
First, the gods will give you a goal. If you fulfill it, they will give you a second chance at life. If you do not… well, the punishment is your death in that world. Meaning that you will be back to the state you were in before rebirth. Dead. Well, that's brilliant, note the sarcasm.
Second, your family here will help you until you come of age (17-years-old), but after that, you are on your own. I think that is fine because everyone will have plenty of time to achieve something before coming of age.
Third, you will never ever, under any circumstances, reveal the family's secrets, including your own, to anyone outside of the family. Okay. That's acceptable, I guess…
The family is a big organization spread out all over the world. My family here is the main and the biggest one placed in London. Oh, yes, this world is the same replica of our world. There are several smaller families that stay near London, such as the Nyx, the Thanatos, and other families. No, don't ask me why our family's name is so… unique. Maybe, just maybe, it is so because the gods have tampered with our deaths?
The ones who get to live their life to the fullest here are people who have fulfilled their goal. And if they married each other and had a baby, the baby would be an old soul just like myself. If I can accomplish my goal, I can either stay here or return to my old world to continue my life as it was before I died. I, of course, thought – it wouldn't hurt to try, right?
The night after my rebirth I had a dream about my favorite character – Tom Marvolo Riddle – about how much he fears death, how obsessed he is with the creation of Horcruxes and how he slowly loses the sanity of his own mind. The dream really intrigued me… until Seraph – my mother – spoke to me about the goal. The goal is always conveyed as a vision.
Then, I screamed myself hoarse.
