Death, death is a beautiful thing, it allows new beings to be born, death is needed and shall always be around... However there was one who tried to defy death, he said that it was not needed, that people could go on with out it, this mans name was Deluch ruler of a mighty kingdom off to the east. One of three greater kingdoms, but our story does not start there, no our story starts in another realm where everything is peaceful and death is accepted.
Beings of this realm know that death is a good thing, death paves way to new life, so why try to stop it? Maybe some people wish to live forever? Or is it something else... Only the person who trys to defy death will know. This new realm where our story begins we'll call it Shale, within this wonderfully peaceful realm sits a town, not a large town, this town shall be called Lione. There are many strong beings here mostly humans but there are other beings known as Anthromorphs, they come in many different forms, some say they come from the wilds and some say they were simply here from the beginning .
Either way it's unknown where they come from even to themselves, in any case the town is like any other town in the realm they work and live their lifes, everything is quite peaceful humans and anthromorphs growing up and working together, one day there was new life being brought into this realm, it was a baby boy, smiling and giggling cheerfully, not once had they ever seen a baby come out giggling happily and smiling like this one, they called this boy Jonathan, the family he belonged to was a quiet family they did not speak much and always kept to themselves.
It was odd that they had such a happy baby boy seeing as they were quite depressed a majority of the time, everyone in the village was happy except for the parents. It wasn't surprising that they weren't happy but this depression wasn't natural, it made their eyes almost completely black and skin pale, their baby didn't take to it though, he was a happy baby, he kept smiling and giggling as if nothing was wrong. Life continued on as the boy's parents slowly got worse and worse at the age of four his parents wouldn't even come out of the house anymore, instead they would just lay around as if their souls had left their bodies.
Eventually around five years later his parents past away one morning while Jonathan was playing around town, Jonathan came back in from playing outside only to see a strange hooded figure standing over his parents bodies "Who are you mister?" Jonathan asked politely looking at his parents who lay lifeless on the floor, the hooded figure looked at Jonathan "You must be their child, come here little one." the hooded figure replied gesturing Jonathan to come here, Jonathan nodded and walked over to the hooded figure "Yes?" Jonathan stood at attention looking up at the tall being with out fear and with a smile on his face "Hmm, are you not afraid little one?" the being asked kneeling down on one knee.
Jonathan shook his head still smiling "No, not really mister." Jonathan replied looking over at his parents with a confused look on his face "You must be wondering what happened to them." the being stood up looking at the lifeless bodies that were Jonathans parents "Yes mister, what happened?" Jonathan replied looking back up at the being "Well you see young one their souls have left, they are no longer here." the being stated placing one hand on Jonathans shoulder "I don't get it, they look like they're sleeping mister." Jonathan replied still a bit confused "Once the soul leaves the body then the body returns to the earth, the soul blossoms into something beautiful then goes on to heaven where it can be free and live endlessly in eternal happiness, with out worry, with out fear, and with out pain, you see... what was your name little one?" the being asked "Oh, my name is Jonathan mister, what about you?" Jonathan replied with a smile slightly understanding what the being had told him.
The being laughed at Jonathans happy attitude "My name, it is something you wouldn't understand, but you can call me Joel, anyways..." the being pulled back his hood to show that he was more human then what he seemed to look like before "Jonathan, when the soul leaves the body it is a wonderful thing, it is beautiful and majestic, if only you could see it, however there are ones who would stop the soul from blossoming and take it for their own, torturing it, making it wither and die... it is my job to make sure that does not happen." Joel explained to Jonathan as Jonathan brought over some chairs so they could sit down "Thank you Jonathan, you're surprisingly kind to some one you don't know much about, I'm impressed." Joel smiled sitting down looking over at the fire pit that still had some burning embers in it "Well mother and father always taught me to be nice to others, even if they were rude and un-kind to me, they were really good people." Jonathan replied smiling "Would you like something to drink Joel?" Jonathan asked politely but all Joel could do was sit there in amazement at Jonathans kind spirit "...yes that would be lovely Jonathan." Joel replied laughing.
As the two sat there talking Joel describe the wonders of the afterlife and where souls came from, where they go as well and how beautiful it is to see the soul blossom and flourish after death, Joel went on to explain how death was needed and how it paved way to new life because with the death of one body the life of another begins, after a while the embers in the fire died out as Jonathan lit a candle "That's really interesting Joel!" Jonathan exclaimed rocking back in forth in his chair in excitement, Joel looked over at the fire pit nodding "Yes, yes it is Jonathan, it's getting late though I fear it's time for me to go back, there are more souls to protect and guide through to the afterlife." Joel replied smiling as he got up from his chair and headed towards the door, Jonathan nodded looking back over to where the bodies of his parents were, to his surprise they were gone, vanished into dust as if nothing happened "Wow..." Jonathan thought to himself as he got up beginning to clean, taking the dishes to the sink in the kitchen.
