Hello.

You may know me as death.

I'm sure many of you don't like me, i dont blame you. I take your loved ones from you, i end the love between young couples, i take many before their time.

I'm sure i could try to explain that i don't decide when creatures die, that i have no control over how or why. I am only their to take them back to the cycle to they may begin again.

But i would still like to say I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for having to take them.

Even before Creation finished making all of the worlds, before Creation, Fire and Light had made the stars, before all of that i dreaded what i had to do.

I knew my sole purpose for existing was to take. To destory. And no matter how i try, i could not give anything back. I could only take the souls of the dead. I thought about not doing it, about leaving the souls in their bodies but i knew that it would not work. Somewhere deep inside of me i knew that if i left the souls they would face so much pain, being trapped in a body that no longer worked.

But maybe that is why i thought she was so beautiful.

I dont know what she is, or what she may be known as. But to me she was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen. I had seen her creating life so many times. I saw her sadness when her creations died in this void of existance. I could never bring myself to go by her side an apoligise for taking her creations.

I knew from the very start that she was the opposite from me, that if i tried to get close our powers would try to destroy each other. The guilt i felt at making such a beautiful creature like her cry constantly ate away at me. But the fear of destroying such an amazing person drove me away from her even more.

I dont know how much time passed but as i was floating around trying to distract myself until everything is ready i got the feeling that i was being watched. As i look around it saw her. An amazingly beautiful figure floated in the distance. Her cloak slowly drifted around her slender frame like it had a life of its own. Her featureless face a swirling mass of dulled green and white colors surrounding her pearl blue eyes.

Its her. The one who makes life, the one who i have made cry countless times. I felt something in my core tighten almost painfully, i didnt know what to do.

Her movement caught my attention as she made her way towards me. I couldnt let get get close to me. I had to go. Why cant i move any faster, she is catching up.

Then the pain began.

NO!

I have to get away!

This pain. She is hurting as much as i am.

I have to get away!

I cant hurt her any more.

I have to get away!

The pain seemed to last forever, but that didnt matter to me. Knowing she was hurting was more painful than this. I reached out to my aura, trying to stop it from fighting her.

I have to stop her pain, if i can stop my power from fighting her it will stop.

But i might die.

SO WHAT!

If it means i cant hurt her anymore. If it means she wont cry when i take her creatures away from her.

Then it is fine.

Suddenly i feel a warm glow encompass my whole being. It was Light. She was pulling me away from the girl.

Thank you

I feel the pain vanish as i slowly turn my gaze upon the girl.

I can see the pain she felt was terrible for her.

I did that to her. I cant get close to her. Not if i hurt her like this.

The guilt i felt for the pain i caused her, knowing he had experianced such pain tore me apart inside.

It was at this point i decided i could never allow myself follow my love for her.
