The dark house was only illuminated from the light of the moon. The air was cold, which made it hard for Maka to sleep comfortably. It was even harder because of her dream. She had a dream that she was standing at the DWMA, overlooking Death City. All of the sudden, the town turned to blood, then fire.

A large, horned beast rose from the flames. His mouth was stitched, but that didn't stop him from exposing his twisted smile. He tried to grab Maka, but she ran. His fist his the flames, and suddenly she was entangled in the fire. Maka was then facing eye to eye with the beast. "AAHHH!" Maka jumped from the covers. She took a couple of deep breaths, and Soul ran in. "What happened Maka?" Maka stared up and said, "I had a nightmare."

Soul stared for a moment and laughed. Maka just sat there in bed. Soul noticed she showed no emotions. He realized she was serious. "Okay, Maka, what was the nightmare about?" Maka gave him every single detail of the nightmare. Soul was worried. "Listen, we'll talk to Lord Death tomorrow. See if this dream means something." Soul was about to stand up, when Maka grabbed him by the arm.

She was about to cry. "Soul I'm scared." Soul patted her on the head. "Don't worry." Maka said, "Soul, can you stay with me tonight?" Soul jumped back. "Are you serious!?" Maka nodded. After a long debate, Soul ended bringing his sleeping bag into her room. Even though she felt better with Soul, she couldn't fall asleep. She still felt that the dream was going to come back. Still, she managed to get through the night.

The next morning, Soul and Maka got dressed, got breakfast, and went to the DWMA. When they got their, they immediately ran into Professor Stein. "Oh, sorry. I guess I have to much on my mind." Stein said. Maka smiled. "Hey, Stein? Can we go see Lord Death?" Stein was puzzled. "But, why Maka?" Soul stepped in. "Because she had some nightmare and got scared." Stein was about to laugh, when he saw Maka's latest version of Maka-chop on Soul. "Uh, sure. Just make it quick." So, Maka and Soul ran off to the Death Room.

Death was standing in front of his mirror, as usual, when Maka and Soul came in. "Well, hiya! hello there!" Death had greeted his students. "What can I do you for?" Maka stood up straight, but it was hard when she got startled. The door slammed, and Stein stood behind her. Still, she managed to speak. "Um, Lord Death. Last night, I had a nightmare. I hope you could tell me what it means?" Death smiled (I'm guessing.) and said, "Sure. Shoot." And Maka repeated her nightmare once more.

After she was done, Stein and Lord Death looked stunned (Again, with Lord Death, I'm guessing.) and were standing lifelessly. Stein said, "Maka. We need to talk." Maka looked confused. "About what?" Lord Death came down and said, "Your nightmare IS in fact a sign, Maka." Stein said, "I never thought this would happen. Lord Kothis cannot already be awake."

Maka looked confused. "Lord who?" Lord Death looked at Maka and said, "Lord Kothis. Also known as the Kishin Creator. Maka, be warned. You are about to go through one of the worst feelings in your life. Pray you make it out alive."

Maka was scared. "Who's the Kishin Creator?" Stein sat down on the ground. "A long time ago, there was no evil in the universe. But, one day, a kishin rose up against humanity. His name was Ptil Wisk. We defeated him, but evil remained. One of our best fighters, Kothis Kane, swore to end all evil. But, one day, he shot a man, thinking that he was evil. He quickly snatched up his soul."

Death jumped in. "Then, we he found out it wasn't an evil soul, he became frightened. So frightened, he started to kill other innocent people. Pretty soon, he got used to it, and killed everyone in sight. He enjoyed it. Lord Kothis was becoming a kishin."

Spirit entered the room. "Hey guys. What are you all talking about?" Stein replied, "Kishin Creator." Spirit Gasped. For once, Maka was interested to see what Spirit had to say. "Dad, do you know anything about him?" Soul was still in shock, but he answered her question. "Yes. Where did you guys stop at?" Death said, "He was killing for fun." Spirit nodded. "Well, the DWMA couldn't have another kishin, so we fought him. We ended up losing. That man has almost every single super power. He defeated us in a snap."

Spirit continued. "He ended up consuming the souls of all our men. One day, a promising student joined us in the battle. His name was Asura." Maka gasped. "Asura was a student here?" Stein scoffed. "A pretty good one, too. Now, he had no hope of killing Lord Kothis, so he did the next best thing. He locked away Lord Kothis' body away. And Asura used his own body as the seal."

Death said, "It didn't end there. Pretty soon, Lord Kothis found a way to spread his madness to Asura. He was getting infected. Before we could do anything, Lord Kothis had already turned Asura into a kishin." Spirit started snapping. "I heard that. We couldn't kill Asura, seeing how his body was used as the seal to lock Kothis away. So, Lord Death trapped Asura in his own bag of skin. As long as both of them were locked away, we felt fine."

Maka's eyes widened. "But, we killed Asura. Doesn't that mean that-" Maka tried to finish her sentence, but she started hearing someone laugh. They said, "Does that mean that Lord Kothis is free? Yes, yes it does." Someone was standing in Lord Death's mirror. Maka asked, "Who is that?" Lord Death motioned at Spirit, and he turned into a Death Scythe. "That, Maka, is Lord Kothis."

Lord Kothis jumped out of the mirror. "I would prefer if you call me Kishin Creator." Maka stood and stared. She was very afraid.
