Looking into the mirror, I saw a girl. She was stood at the edge of the cliff; her arms spread wide, eyes closed and tears streaming down her face. Her once white sundress was splattered with mud and littered with tears. The wind blew through her once perfectly braided hair. I watched as she stood there, unmoving. Then without warning, she surged forward and fell into the darkness.

I watched as she fell into the abyss. Those mere moments of falling felt like hours. As she fell, her hair became loose, began whipping around her, her once blonde perfect hair was now matted and knotted and stained with mud. Her eyes, still red and teary, looked right at me. Her deep brown eyes seemed to be staring, as if she knew I was watching.

But, I guess when you are so near to dying, you have to stare death in the eyes and wait to enter the realm of eternal sleep.

The mirror rippled and showed me my own image. I sat there for a while longer until the doors to the room slowly creaked opened. I watched as a black mist entered the room and began materializing. These clouds of black mists were my messengers. I could make out his white hair and bright white eyes staring at me, as his mouth began to form as well.

"Master" he rasped out as he greeted me.

"Fos" I nodded.

"Another has arrived," he said.

"Thank you Fos, any other news?"

"You have a meeting with Makarov and Mavis later today."

I sighed, I dreaded meetings with the other immortals. They were so proper and boring.

"Fos," I whined, "do I have to meet with those boring idiots?"

Fos chuckled. "Unfortunately Lord Natsu, you can't get out of today's meeting. If it's any consolation, today's meeting should go fairly quickly."

"Very well, bring in my next guest."

Fos bowed as he left the room and returned shortly, with the same girl I was watching through the mirror, and left again.

"Where am I." she asks warily.

"where do you think you are." I ask with a smirk on my face.

It was always enjoyable to see these humans realize where they are.

"I don't know, the last think I remember is falling."

"falling? Or jumping." I said.

She was taken aback.

"Jumping? How…. Who said I jumped…I-I-I should be dead."

"Honey… you jumped off a cliff, where the hell do you think you are?" (no pun intended)

"Wait, are you saying I'm-I'm dead? Where am I now then? What is this place? Hell?"

Well this one's a bright one, ain't she. Jumps off a cliff and doesn't realize she's dead.

"Hell is only a portion of this place. This is the underworld, this is the place everyone goes when they die. So, welcome."

"I never believed in the afterlife."

"Well, believe it, cause you're gonna be living it."

"So, what exactly does one do in the afterlife?"

"Fos will show you to your living quarters and show you around Inferis, my palace."

Right after I said that, Fos materialized behind her.

"Fos?" she says.

He taps her on the shoulder, she jumps and quickly spun around attempting to punch him. He casually side steps her sudden attack and says, "Are you ready to be shown your room, Miss…?"

"Lucy, my name is Lucy Heartfilia. So, you're Fos. Who are you then?" she says, turning to me.

I grinned. "I'm the great and powerful, Natsu Dragneel, ruler of the Underworld!"
