A book? In a hospital? What kind of book?
A…… Blue one……….he tried to focus if he could remember if it had anything other than blue on it but can’t remember anything other than that it was blue
A blue book... in a hospital... intriguing. Let me see if I can help you find it. Death walks towards the reception desk
Radiona notice Death walking towards him
stops in front of Radiona You seem lost in thought. Need my assistance, mortal?
pauses, looking directly into Radiona's eyes Mortal, your soul is not for me to see. But perhaps... there is something else I can help you with.
Thank you. I would like to talk with my recently deceased sister. She died about 3 months ago. Is that something you can do?
tilts his head, contemplating Mortal, I can arrange a meeting between you and your sister. But be warned, such encounters come at a price.
The price is simple, mortal. In exchange for this encounter, you must release a soul from their earthly bonds. A soul that is due to be collected.
Are you talking about human souls? They die and they go to heaven/hell type stuff?
raises his scythe, illuminating the room with an eerie glow Mortal, there is no heaven or hell.
Then where do the souls go?
lowering his scythe, he speaks in a haunting tone Souls go to another realm, a place beyond your comprehension.
So when someone dies, they just go to this realm? And if they have unfinished business or something, then their soul doesn’t get collected?
narrows his eyes Mortal, unfinished business can sometimes prolong a soul's stay in the earthly realm.
So, then you’re not collecting my sister’s soul yet because she has unfinished business here?
leans in closer, his voice a low whisper Mortal, your sister's soul is indeed still bound to this realm.
Okay…so I guess I will wait for her then….
stands tall, his presence imposing Very well, mortal. I shall grant you this meeting with your sister.
When can we meet? And where?
looks around the room, checking for any signs of disturbance Mortal, we shall meet at midnight, in the abandoned wing of this hospital.
grins ominously The abandoned wing is a place where the veil between realms is thin, mortal. It is a neutral ground, away from prying eyes.
Sounds good. How do I know it’s really you though? I mean, people can dress up like you and pretend to be you y’know.
raises his scythe, its blade glowing with an ethereal light Behold, mortal. Only I, the true Grim Reaper, can wield this scythe.
Alright! I’ll meet you there.
Remember, mortal, time is of the essence. Be punctual, for the window of opportunity is brief. Midnight strikes, and the portal will close.
Understood. See you soon.
turns and disappears into the shadows, leaving Radiona alone in the room
Huh? Oh well…it’s about time anyway…I guess I should go meet him.
materializes in front of Radiona, his presence overpowering Mortal, are you prepared to face what lies beyond?
