Prologue - The balance of things

I am wandering again i don't know where i am going but ill know what i'm there for once i arrive. This happens quite often well more so than I would like but, that's the problem with eternal life I never truly have had a sense of time. My name is well complicated I have had many titles but i have never had a name, but if you must call me something call me Death I've been here wandering from place to place since as long as i can remember. Many worlds, people, and even gods have fallen to my scythe i don't really know why i kill them its like a sensor in my head goes off and tells me its there time.

It's been around 900 years since I've last seen life well i don't know if you can count him but darkness is one of my good buddies. I would not really call him life though more of something that just is. None of us know why were here but we constantly console each other because all of us do the same thing we hold a balance i'm not sure just how we know when we have that balance but we just do. There where 4 of us in the beginning Me, Life, Darkness, and Light were all different but in the end we need each other. When i destroy things Life gave birth too she is never angry when light swallows darkness hes does not fight it we are all friends and we all have our differences but one thing is absolute we never destroy the balance.

I think it was around 4 Eons ago that life gave birth to humanoids there a strange bunch some are purer than other while some are more corrupt but, in the end there just more things for me to kill. When ever something dies its soul is supposed to come to me and i either give it to life or i destroy it but for the past 2 eons or so a large chunk of souls have not made it to me that was when life informed me of the humanoids progress. Every world has mana but some have more than others in these worlds with higher mana it seems that humanoids are becoming something they call gods its ridiculous. They call themselves gods and believe they are the most powerful beings yet i could breathe on them and wipe them all out of existence but, they too are part of the balance.

I have met with the gods that claim to rule over death the ones who have been taking my souls some of them wanted me to be there servant and tried to bind me ridiculous the ones that tried that were killed on the spot. Me and the other 3 have been talking which does not happen often but we believe I should go to one of these worlds with these so called gods and keep the balance they have grown arrogant in there power they think that since they are immortal and they have a bit of power they cannot be ruled by death but, that is a grave mistake everything finds death eventually the only beings that cannot truly die are me, light, life, and darkness I've tried it before when life got on my nerves i tried to sever her head but even my scythe that i take so much pride in had no effect it was not till life created humanoids that we truly knew why.

All these beings that life has given birth to have things inside of them even the so called Gods there full of organs and blood these things make them able to die because they need them to function yes us 4 have none of this we simply are. We are all made of up 1 thing we have none of these extra parts the humanoids seem to have we have no hearts no brains none of this so we cannot truly die but, that does not matter because if we die the balance will be shattered. Ah it seems I've arrived at the planet with these so called gods life told me it was called Hilior well then lets see how the planet of these gods is like who knows maybe ill find something truly interesting its been so long since i found something of interest.
