《Death God's Mortal Life》 The Meeting with the King "haaaaaahhhh" Death sighed. "Why must the youngest always cause trouble?" Looking around his empty domain as if expecting an answer to pop out of nowhere, Death sighed again. "well not much I can do to change his mind and this way some of my plans can be realised, hopefully." His rumimations ended when a glowing green portal opened in the middle of the room. Out of this portal stepped an ancient and fossilized leg. The flesh long since gone and rotted away with not a trace of it left.Flowing upfrom this leg a skeleton appeared standing nude and with not a traceof clothing. "Oi!" Death cried "what happened to your clothes?" "Fine, I''ll entertain you but the information better be worth it" the skeleton repiled. Taking a seat at the table the two began a series of matches quite similar to chess except with a few new rules:
  1. Pawns Marching Order: Requirements: 4 or more pawns: Skip a turn and pawns can move two spaces
  2. Castle Defence: Requirements: 2 Rooks: Skip a turn and ignore all checks for 3 turns
  3. Knights Charge: Requirement: 2 Knights: Skip a turn and next turn Knights can take anyone they move over and land on
  4. Bishops Conversion: Requirement: 2 Bishops: Skip a turn and for the next three turns any time a bishop takes a piece (except a queen or another bishop) you may place the same piece in one of four sqaures around the bishop (not diagonal) in your colour
  5. Queens Sacrifice: Requirements: 1 Queen: Remove your queen from the game and remove any 3 pieces (except enemy Queen or King) from the enemies forces
  6. None of these abilites may be activated while in check
After losing 15 rounds to the skeleton, Death began to speak "The rumors are true, I am to become a mortal and walk upon my world with a flesh and blood body."The skeleton focused on the game as if it hadn''t heard him. "Light tried to claim ownership through the most population, however, the undead out number the living 60 to 1 so his claim was void." The skeleton made a tch noise when Death took an important piece. "Using this new information he went to his older brothers and sisters to force a vote to get me to leave or at least abicate." Death showed an annoyed expression as the skeleton put him in check "anyway, the three race gods, Eluvian, Mirror of heaven and god of the elves, Stonehammer, Master Craftsman and god of dwarves, and Ganondorf, Lord of Monsters and god of the beastkin sided with Light. While Lycranie, Master of Mana and Origin of Magic, Conan, Lord of War and origin of Qi and Selene, Queen of Peace and Goddess of Love, sided with me"If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "I''m not the tie breaker am I?" asked the skeleton "Heavens, no" Death laughed "we had someone much more qualifed to break it: The Creator himself!" The skeleton focused back on the game and saw that it had lost ground against Deaths forces. "He was the one who decided for me to be mortal, and depending on the experience, wether to hand the world over to Light or not after i regain my godhood." "how will you do that?" the skeleton asked curious "Simple, there is a set amount of times I''m allowed to die before reclaiming my immortality." Death answered "Do you know how many?" the skeleton asked as he took Deaths knight and put him in check "only the minimum: one for each god and race." "so 11." the skeleton said "your forgetting that in my world Undead are considered a race and Imyself am still a god" Death retorted "13" came the skeletons brisk reply "as I said that''s at minimum." Death explained "I don''t know the maximum." They both fell silent as they played the game. "so what is it you want with me?" the skeleton asked after finally losing to Death. "I want you to meet my mortal self and safe guard him fromLights schenanigans." Death said staring into the skeletons blue flame. "With the amount of mortals born each year, how am I ment to do that?" Came the skeletons logical reply "I won''t be born." Said Death "Instead they will place me next to village of my choosing with no memories at all." "Name of the village?" "Arkolanth" The skeleton hissed at Death, the noise sounding all the more ominus with the fact that every bone whistled at the same time. "That village is dead and gone!" the skeleton cried rising angrily "Yes, it is." Death calmly stated while staring at the skeleton "and the fact that a living human will show up around it will terrify the local populace." The skeleton seemed to be trying hard not to unleash its anger upon Death. After staring at each other intermittently the skeleton gave up. "Fine I shall have my forces search the area and safe guard you upon arrival." "thank you, Lich King." Death said with all the feelings of gratiude he could muster. "You owe me, Death." The Lich King replied "incedently," Death asked "Why do you go by ''King''? you are obviously female." "SHUT UP!" the Lich King cried as she stormed through the portal back to the mortal plane. "......................" Death "Future Wife Get" Meeting of the Gods Laughing at his own little joke about the Lich King, Death felt a presence appear behind him. "Hello, Love what brings you here?" Death asked the person standing behind him. "Is she really going to be your future wife?" Selene asks back avoiding his question. "Now, now my dear you are the goddess of love so only you can answer that question." Death said looking back at her. Seeing the frown on her face and worried for his eldest child, Death quickly went into a tirade. "What''s going on? Did Light bully you again? That troublesome youngster, he better not be thinking of taking your godhood!" the rage in his voice barely quenched. "It''s not that." Selene said as tears were forming in her eyes. "Then what is it abo- omph" Part way through his tirade Selene rushed him hugging him tight. Death realising why she was crying began patting her head. "Now, now I''m not going to be gone permantly Love." "B-b-but you are t-t-the one who brought us together as a family how could you go." Selenes voice broke she held back the tears while trying to speak.. "Love, the Creator made his decision and like it or not all of creation literally bends to his will, so it is going to happen and that''s it, and besides with me gone I will need you to step up and lead the Gods since you are the eldest sibling." "I don''t want to lead if it means you go." Selene cried clinging to him. "Now enough of this." Death said putting steel into his voice. "The decision has been made and it is going to happen so stand tall and smile as you see me off okay?" Raising her head to look at the being she called Father "okay...for you daddy." "Thats my girl." Death smiled. Looking up as more presences appeared to surround the couple, Deaths smile grew wider. "I seems all of my children are here to see me off." he laughed at the gathering. "aye, Father" Spoke Stonehammer "Indeed, male parental figure." agreed EluvianIf you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. "What''s a male parental figure?" asked Conan "A longer way of saying father." Responded Lycranie "Why not just say father then?" Asked Conan confused with the word play "Because Eluvian didn''t want to say the same thing as Stonehammer." Boomed Ganondorf "That''s stupid." Stonehammer said staring at Eluvian "oh does the master craftsman wish to have a go?"Eluvian sarcastily spoke while returning daggers at Stonehammer "ENOUGH!" Shouted Selene "Don''t you all know this will be last time we can talk to Death before he leaves?!" "Why would you want to talk to the decrepit fool is beyond me." Light said appearing last. "I''m just here to make sure he goes into the portal." After hearing those words the faces of each of the gods changed. Those who sided with him frowned at the lack of respect to Death while those who sided against showed complete disgust. Before Selene could go into an angry tirade likely to start a battle between gods Death intervened. "Know your place Boy, I''m still the ruler here even if I become Mortal." Light sniffed and turned away. "Excellent, everyone has arrived!" came a chipper voice from above. Looking up the gods noticed a man floating down with a speck of something on his shoulder. Once he reached the same level as the other gods the speck floated away a bit before speaking in that same chipper voice "this here is a nameless death god I retrieved from a world which has no more need of death, to take over Deaths responsibilties while he is mortal." "Nice to meat you all." The Nameless God greeted as he bowed. "HA, Meat! I like you already kid." Death said while staring at the newcomer "But we can''t have you nameless so....." Death was lost in thought for a few moments. "That''s it! You shall be named Reaper: Guardian of Souls and Lord of Death". "WHAT?!" Light cried "Why should he get the power over souls and death?" "Indeed, giving your entire godhood is a bit of a stretch" the Creator agreed "Well it was just going to sit around doing nothing while I''m gone and he was going to take on my responsibilites anyway may as well give him the whole package. And as for why him" Death turned to stare at Light "is because he unlike you is a proper death god so these things he''s dealt with before, Just because you feel you won the vote doesn''t mean my godhood is automatically yours." Light stormed off not waiting to see if Death actually entered the portal. "Well now we know why he was really here." Said Lycranie. "Good ridance." Selene happily smiled as Light left. "Now he is still your brother so treat him nice." Death admonished the two girls. "and take care of your new sibling while I''m out." Here he guestured to Reaper. "We will Father." All the gods agreed together. "Okay opening the portal now." The Creator said. Right underneath the speck a red portal appeared leading to Crestia. "oh almost forgot, what is the last and only memory you wish to carry into your mortal world?" the Creator asked. "My converation with the lich king." Death replied. "Hmm that''s going to be heavily restricted and most of the conversation will be lost, still want to go with it?" the Creator asked just to make sure. "yep." Said Death "Okay just step on through the portal and off on your adventure!" And with that send off Death stepped through the Portal.
