''Master I've returned'' - shouted a girl about 14 years old, as she climbed to the top of a hill. At the top there was a woman who appeared to be in her mid-50s of mongolian descent, with lavender hair that was so faded and natural looking, that anyone from earth would realise her otherworldy origins. Her eyes where as black as the abyss with no pupil. She sat cross legged on a hugh slab of stone at the peak of the tallest grass hill in the horizon.

''Come. Sit.'' - The old woman spoke as she move her glance from the horizon to her accolyte, whose auburn brown hair blow in the wind. This making her look twice her size as it fluttered.

''Yes.'' - She replied firmly.

''Did you bring the thing i requested?'' - As she spoke the young girl. Took a small pouch from her waist and handed it to her.

''Good'' - she sighed.

''Master?'' - she asked with a worried expression.

''Do not worry child for all the knowledge you will need is in that place down there.'' - as she gestured to a small wodden hut on the side of a neighbouring hill.

''No it's not that we accolytes are aware where your inheritance for each of us our stored.'' - she said will gently shaking our head.

''Then What?'' The lady said with an arched brow.

''Before you pass I wish to ask you one piece of advice. That countless have wish but not dared.''

''Mmm'' - sound with a slight nod as she examined the small button mushroom the size of a grape with a white stalk and flouresent blue cap.

''Well many wondeted how even after the several centuries of walking the world, how have you not lost hope or the enjoyment of life?'' - She questioned with a curious gaze.

''Very well. But even if you don't understand my words some will and you must spread these to all that you meet, and i hope you may understand one day as all these well. - Life is cruel. It can be meaningless and empty, but without darkness you would never apreviate the light. Don't regret your mistakes but learn from them and continue. Be your own person with your own shadow not in the one of others. And lastly Be whi you are and embrace it fully. By doing so, knowing you will have died at your appointed time peacefully.'' - as she said these final words she popped the button mushroom in her mouth. This is a fungus that when consumed if the person willing will pass peacefully to the embrace of death.

As she swallowed she frlt a hand brave her back and she closed her eyes, as the girl lay her flat. Her consciousness faded and in that instant all her memories flashed before her and then her breathing stopped. A few seconds later her heart. A few minutes the last of her nuerons fired and the link of soul and body severed.

At sensing this the girl began crying tears onyo the ladie's chest while hugging her tight.

At this moment a figure appeared, ethereal in nature and invisible to the girl. A skeleton wiyh a tattered black robe, a scythe and wisps of darkness orbiting it. He carressed the soul and then he and it disappeared, the moment her last cell died.

A few moments later the skeleton gently place the soul into a stream in which it traversed down and will continue to unitl it gets sucked into one of the whirlpools at the edges after sometime.

''Mighty One, i wonder what role you will live next.'' - muttered a raspy voice as the black-clad figure walked away...
