A first year student at the DWMA, Mitsu Onikami was seemingly unknown.
This changed the day she arrived home to find her home destroyed and a giant blue mass where her tent used to be.
As a child, Mitsu's parents were murdered by a man who's soul had become a kishin egg.
She stood there for a moment, looking at the spot where she had just lost everything she had left in the world.
She felt rage swell inside her as she stared at the small creatures scurrying about the mass, obviously this mass was their home, and their doing.
One of the creatures saw her, and started running around.
Before Mitsu even realized what was going on, she felt a strange tingling sensation in her right arm.
She never even felt her arm extend, never felt herself stretching over the branch of the tree, she didn't even feel herself tightening.. tighter and tighter.
She barely even felt it when the creature's neck snapped, and the weight of it's lifeless body as it dangled limply a few feet above the ground.
With a rush of sheer horror, Mitsu realized what she had done: She had needlessly killed an innocent being.
'Oh my Death,' she thought 'am I going to be expelled, am I becoming a Kishin, is my soul a kishin egg?'
She was starting to panic at this point. Mitsu was sure her fate was sealed when none other than Lord Death himself (Death the Kid) appeared at her side.
Her arm went slack and the creature's lifeless body was dropped unceremoniously upon the cold damp ground below.
To both Mitsu's and Kid's surprise another creature came up and waived it's hand and the slain creature was almost instantly resurrected.
Naturally, this caught Kid's attention and interest. For what were these creatures, he had never seen or been told of anything even remotely like these beings.
What's more, how could they escape Death by bringing the dead back to life. Were they some witch's experiment, the product of some twisted Necromancer, or some form of immortal abomination?
This troubled Kid, because as the current Lord Death, he should know these things. He decided that he should have the matter investigated immediately.
He ordered that the hive and creatures be taken to Dr. Stein for examination.
Mitsu thought she had dodged a bullet, until Kid turned to her and in a gravely voice said, "You are to report to the Death Room immediately, I will decide your fate there."
As Mitsu was standing before Kid, readying herself for the worst fate she could think of, there was a bright light, and the sound of ripping and thunder.
As she looked to where the sound came from she saw what seemed to be a lifeless body fall from a hole in the sky, and land right on Lord Death himself.
Kid was surprised that he was knocked to the ground by something that had fallen from the sky of the Death room.
As Kid lay there thinking for a second, he couldn't believe what had transpired since the day began.
This day was turning into quite the enigmatic spectacle for the Reaper.
Here were these strange creatures, who while not immortal by any means, had the ability to resurrect each other, then his sanctuary was broken into.
And just what was he to do with Ms. Mitsu Onikami, She had killed one of the creatures, yet there was no corpse, and she did not eat the thing's soul.
Was she really a Kishin egg then?
He had turned to weapon in question when he found her earlier, his stare was one of measurement, like he was looking into her very soul searching it to find any traces of kishin.
As he was searching her soul, he found no kishin wavelength.
If she was on the path to becoming a kishin egg, he couldn't sense it.
Slowly he moved out from under whatever was on top of him.
As Lord Death got back to his feet, he looked upon what had landed on him.
He was surprised to see a young girl, no older than one of his first year students laying there barely alive.
'Poor thing won't make it,' he thought, 'such a shame, she has such wonderful symmetry.'
Just then he heard a commotion as The Blue minion called Mortis came running into the room with 3 other blue Minions.
When the minions saw the strange girl, they seemed to start cheering something about a princess.
The minions rushed over to her, and once they got her into position, laying on her back with her arms and legs straight, they held out their hands over the girl.
The creatures stood on either side of the still unconscious child with Mortis overseeing.
One minion was caring for her head and neck, another for her shoulders to her hips, and the last for her hips to her feet.
Kid turned to Mortis and asked, "You seem to be in charge of these strange creatures, and seem to know this girl. Who are you, and who is she?"
Without even looking up from what he was doing, the blue Minion replied,
"I am Mortis, leader of the blue minion tribe. While I don't know her name, this child seems to be the daughter of the Master.
We can sense his power flowing through her veins. She also smells a bit like our Mistress Queen Fay."
Taking a closer look to the child, Kid noticed what seemed to be bruised marks on her throat, in the shape of a hand.
This messed up her otherwise almost flawless symmetry.
"Looks like she was grabbed by the neck" Kid said.
"Yes", Mortis replied, "her Larynx was crushed, and her vocal chords, and wind pipe as well, it will take some time to fully heal."
Just as Kid thought he wouldn't get any answers out of the girl for a long while, the blue minions stopped what they were doing.
"Her life is no longer in danger," Mortis said, "but she still needs to rest. She will be sore and confused when she first wakes up."
As if on cue, the girl started to stir. Her eyes fluttered open, then closed again as she once more slipped from the realm of consciousness.
Turning to the other Blues, Mortis commanded them to return to the hive, with a plaintiff moan, they left.
Kid demanded that Mortis stay and answer a few more questions about the creatures, their home, and their purpose for being here in Death City.
"We are minions, we serve the Overlord, so it has been since the days of the first overlord. We live and die according to the Overlord's wishes."
"How many Overlords have there been?" Kid asked.
"There have been 4 Overlords to date: The Black Baron, Lord Gromguard, The Fallen one, and the Witch Boy of Nordberg," Mortis responded.
"Do any of them still live?" Kid asked.
"The third Overlord, the Fallen Hero.. he was trapped in the Infernal Abyss when he defeated and killed the Forgotten God.
He then became the new God of the Infernal Abyss."
Mortis answered, suspecting already that the Infernal God may have had something to do with the hive being ripped from their world.
Mortis was certain the marks on the girl's neck had come from none other than the Infernal God himself.
Upon hearing about a witch boy, Kid could only think of his son Mereck, who was a warlock student attending the DWMA.
Kid decided to get Mereck's input on what the creature was saying, plus there was still the small matter of what to do with Mitsu Onikami.
About an hour later, the "princess" started to stir again, this time however her eyes stayed open and as she sat up, she reached to caress her still very sore neck.
Kid thought he could see a tear in the child's eyes as she seemed to process the events that lead her to crashing into the Grim Reaper himself.
Looking around the room, the girl was startled to see that she had landed in a strange place, surrounded by strange people.
"Where am I?" she tried to ask, but this caused great pain in her throat and she was unable to form even a single syllable.
"Aaaaahhhhh.." she screamed mentally from the pain, this forced one of the occupants from the group to cover his ears in a feeble attempt to block out the noise.
Seeing this boy, with black hair with white flecks in it, almost double over in pain at her mental scream startled the girl.
Unseen, however was that Mitsu Onikami had a rune appear on her ankle, and almost fainted from the sudden, seemingly earth-shattering pain running through her whole body and mind.
Mortis then came bursting into the room, and rushed to calm the princess.
"Easy.. easy.. you are safe now," Mortis said "I know it hurts, but the pain will subside as long as you don't try to use your voice."
Upon seeing the minion, and hearing his soothing words, the girl calmed down considerably.
This still posed a bit of a problem, however.
"How will we get any answers out of her if she cannot speak?" Kid asked.
"I think I know a way," Mereck said after a brief moment to think, "bring a mirror."
Once the mirror was brought into position, Mereck used his breath to write something on the surface, only it was a rune instead of numbers.
"Now just relax, this wont hurt," Mereck said to the girl, "we just need to know a few things, and this should tell us what you are trying to say."
"What is your name?" Mereck started off, the image of a flower (an Iris) appeared in the mirror.
"Flower, your name is Flower?" Mereck asked.
The girl shook a negative response.
Then Mitsu stepped forward with an idea, "Maybe the type of flower, an Iris" She said.
The girl's face seemed to lighten up as a smile crossed her face for the briefest of instants.
She nodded an affirmative.
