The Soul Gate

In endless darkness, there was a huge gate. That gate shone, it was the only source of light there. In front of the gate stood a single figure in a hood, with a scythe in it's hand. That hooded figure said something, and a human figure appeared in front of it. The hooded figure spoke again, this time saying

"Forgive me; I cannot let you pass the Soul Gate. You must be ended. You are not worthy of being reborn." After these words were said, the hooded figure cast down the hood reveling itself.

Under the hood, there was a girl, a young girl. Her beauty was inhuman, as though a goddess. Her skin was as fair as snow, her hairs, which came down to her waist, were as white as the clouds in the sky. Her body, though covered with black clothes, was slender and perfect. Her looks were incomparable. But her eyes were as dark and as dead as of a corpse's eyes. There was no feeling in those eyes.

After she revealed herself, she slashed the human figure with the scythe and the human figure turned to dust at the touch of the scythe. "Alas it is over." said the girl "There are no more dead humans for now." Then she turned to the gate and said in a loud voice

"Let me in!" as she said it, the gate opened lighting the area around it. She went through the gate and it closed behind her.

The place beyond the gate was bright and beautiful. "Already over?" said a man sitting in a throne made of what seemed to be human skulls. The man looked like perfection in physical form. His hair was bright golden; his eyes a deep violet and we're brimming with life. He wore a white suit and cloak that reached his feet.

"Eternity, how many souls did you judge in this hour?" asked the man.

"454,800" Answered Eternity.

"And you only let 12,000 souls pass."

"Father, your creations are becoming less worthy day by day. And don't complain to me about it, it is you who gave me the ' Eyes of the judge'. I wasn't the one who derived the criteria for rebirth."

"I know, I know. Don't get angry at me. Eternity, the next hour has begun. Go do your job." He said.

"I know my job father, you don't need to remind me." She answers and walks towards the Soul Gate and commands it to open. When the gate opens, she re-enters the infinite darkness.

While standing in the infinite darkness, Eternity thought to herself "I'm tired of this darkness. I want to see the human realm. I want to know the beings I judge. I wish I could go there. It'd be fun to live like a human for a change. Maybe I can, maybe father will allow it." Thinking this she calls the souls to judge them.
