A dark-haired woman gaze steady with night dark eyes at the being before her. He is a living cloak of night and shadows. "So Death… Am I accepted?"

The living cloak tilted his head and spoke, "You have passed the trials, you can fight as an individual while also fighting in a group of people."

The woman is vaguely surprised on how the being have such good translators for he spoke another, her language, without noticeable accents. Maybe it is a death thing.

The being continues with his voice doing a lulling low, "You are strong enough to be known by name among members of your species, only you choose to hide within the collective identity of your land while you nurture plans for future children, children who existence may signal your end."

The woman jerks in surprise at Death knowing her plans. She breaths and tells what always weight in her minds, "I have also known since that incident with time. Nothing last forever, eventually everything will collapse and change. I just choose to embrace it and plan for it. Keeping the mindset of my fellow nations will not help me or my land in the long run."

"Eibon was right, you will be a great fit," stated Death thoughtfully.

Breath leaves her lungs in relief, the warlord who was the most oppose to her, vouched for her?

Death sees her alight eyes, "You have the skills, the patience, the madness to serve as a member of my legion. Congratulations and welcome, the personification of this lands tectonic plate," and Death offers his jagged hand.

The woman smiles broadly and returns it using more strength and enthusiasm then what was needed.

In this case, it was good things that was a grim reaper rather than a human or else he would have a shattered hand.

She laughs hardily, "My humans refer to me as Earth Woman."


"Ah, there you are! I wonder where you were." Earth Women turns around and gaze at the Grim Reaper and the squirming bundle in his human hands.

Earth Women grits her teeth in annoyance at the familiarity of that statement, "I have been here all day. You even pass by me several TIMES!" The last word coming out in a yell.

The reaper stare but does not respond. The bundle in his arms shiver and tried to get out of the reaper's arms. It fails but reveals a young child, a bit after the toddler stage, with black and white hair.

A reaper.

Death sets the child on the ground.

"So who this little one?" Maternal instincts kicking in, as she lowered her voice into a soothing tone. The child gazing at her with fear in his orange-red eyes and tries to scoot closer the elder reaper.

Death pushes the child closer despite the scooting, "This is my son Asura. He is physically 4 years old but was born last night."

"It that an odd Reaper thing?" Earth Women sighs as she eyes the far too large cloths on the young child, "Please tell me that you are planning on getting the child some proper cloths."

"Of course," the reaper waves his hand in unconcern.

Earth Women takes a moment to stare, "Which means procrastinating based in my prior experience."

"Uhhh…" mumbles Death.

Giving one last knowing look, Earth Women kneels before the child and smiles warmly, "Hello, your name is Asura, right."

The youngling gives a slow nod.

"Hello Asura, my name in the words of my people means Earth Women; the fellow warlords often call me Terra as suggested by Eibon."

The warm smile and demeanor seems to have convinced the child, "Hello Ms. Terra," came the small shy voice.

Earth Women give a warmer smile, "I have children who are older than you. Maybe someday, you can meet them."

The child gives reluctant nod.

Looking up at the elder reaper she returns her gaze to the youngling, "Come on let's get you and your father to find some cloths that will fit you."

Asura looks at his father and Death gives a sigh and picks the child up and into his arms.

"It is a good thing I have all of my children's old skins. If nothing else, I can use the materials you pick up from those other places to make something…." Spoke Earth Women as she considers which of her children's old cloths would fit and which would be too big but he will grow into.

Introducing the mother of Canada, America, Mexico (and possibly Greenland)! It pretty clear that each of the kids got something from their mother.

While it was implied in the manga that the unknown Warlords were male, the anime suggested at least one female. Well, I wanted an excuse to add some young Asura, hence Warlord Terra.

For clarification sake, Terra was originally the personification of the North American tectonic plate that goes from the Chersky Range in Russia to the Motagua Fault and Chixoy-Polochic Fault in Guatemala. As time went by and humans came, she would lose the fringes of her territory (Guatemala, half of Iceland, half of Cuba, the small part of Russia, etc) and gain Baja California which is why she ended up with only four children. In the end, she ended up just as the personification of Native North America.

As mentioned at the end of the previous chapter; the edited chapters are 2, 5, 6, and 8.

Have a question to my Soul Eater fans. Should Terra Earth Women to have a madness (abate, weaker than some of the other Warlords)? What should her madness be? Because I have no idea.
