a story. Made while listening to This Is The New Shit. Manson is God.
The Dark Side: Amidamaru's Second Chance
Looking down to Amidamaru, Anubis nodded slightly to signal the samurai
to stand to his feet, which he did though he kept his head bowed down in
shame for having failed at his vow to protect his Shamanic partner and
other friends.
'Look up at me, Amidamaru.' Anubis told him.
With slight hesitation, the ghost did so, his eyes obviously full of both
shame and fear.
'You have done the world a great survice, Amidamaru. Do not doubt this.
For your task of defeating the dark Lord Of Destruction, I will give you
a second chance at life. You will be given your body and soul back into
one vessel, abilities and memories in tact if you so wish, without any
questioning of the overseeing dieties. My reign over the Afterlife is
final, and if I should choose to deliver a second chance to a being, so
shall it be without question.'
Amidamaru silently nodded a thank you, bowing momentarily in respect. To
be perfectly honest, he didn't feel like he'd done anything too good for
the world. What kind of message was this sending to everyone? "Murder
your friend and/or partner and you'll be rewarded? He felt like a total
heel for being given a chance at life again while his Shamanic partner
and friend, and the future son of his two best friends would not have the
same? It just didn't feel completely right to him. If he would be given
a choice at how to earn his life back, it wouldn't be by murder. Not of
a friend..Not like this..
Manta forced a smile over his sadness, which lasted only a moment, before
he returned to staring down at his lifeless lover. "Congrats..Amidamaru."
he muttered.
Kaki-Ri and Yeno ceased hugging for a moment to look back at the saddened
Manta, who was once again staring down at Yoh, tears stinging his eyes to
fall.
'But I sense somehow that you are still unhappy, all of you.'
The seven of them simply said nothing, keeping their heads towards the
ground instead.
'You are still upset that the demise of the Lord Of Destruction also had
meant that of your friend, are you not?' Anubis added, surveying the
whole group.
"Why did it have to be Yoh? Why not someone else?" Manta pipped up after
a moment or two of pure silence. "Why didn't it happen to someone else?
Someone who didn't have that much left to live for. Someone who didn't
have anybody that cared so much for them?"
'I cannot control such in this case. I had given Akovara a second chance
to take part in the living world, in hopes he'd have changed his ways
from how he once was. But he did not, and in turn he took control of the
very person and interfered in the very lives I had informed him that he
was not to be involved with. I should have known better than to give such
a being a second chance.'
"Yeah, especially with that name.."
'Lord Manta, you might wish to reframe from disrespecting Lord Anubis.'
Kaki-Ri muttered over to him.
"I don't care who he is. From what it seems like all this is his fault in
the first place! You guys wouldn't even have been dead if he hadn't given
Akovara permission to bring his powers to you, Kaki-Ri. You have as much
a right to be angry at him as I do! You know that you do!"
'He is correct.' Anubis sighed out and said. 'It is my fault that all of
this has occured. That isn't to say had I decided he wouldn't have been
allowed to interfere in the mortal world the first time around that it
would have prevented your death, Amidamaru, or yours, Oracle. But this,
this happening is my fault. I will take the due blame. Therefore I am
willing to make you an offer.'
'What offer?' Amidamaru inquired as he screwed his face up to form a look
of curiosity. 'I am all ears as Lord Yoh would have put it.'
Anubis closed his eyes for a moment, in an attempt to decide how he would
tell everyone what his offer was so that it would make sense to them and
not need explaining any further. After a few moments, the jackle God
finally re-opened his eyes and found the words to speak.
'I am offering you to exchange your newly given life, Amidamaru, for the
life of the Shaman boy Yoh to be returned.'
