We're from different worlds, she wished she knew how different, she wanted to convince me that we couldn't be friends because we were from different worlds, I couldn't care less, it was the second day I'd known this girl and I felt a need to protect her that I couldn't explain.
She was staring at me so intently, I could feel my wolf stir a little and a faint scent of berries, almost imperceptible, was it coming from her?, wait I've never smelled that on humans before, well maybe I've never paid attention either.
I would take care of Zaya like a sister, that thought made my wolf growl.
Shut up you moron, don't you dare.
(wolf) Beautiful human.
Stop it you grumpy old man, don't you dare disrespect her, or in the afterlife I'll have Thanatos keep you chained up.
(wolf) growls.
That's all I needed, this grumpy old wolf wanting to take over, no way he's gone 100 years without talking to me so let him shut up now, when the teacher assigned group work I immediately suggested that Zaya and I do it together, I didn't know how much time I had left but I felt I had an obligation to leave Zaya well, that she would be happy.
I dropped her off at the diner and went home, but what an unpleasant surprise Thanatos was sitting in my living room, it wasn't possible right now, I didn't even like living but suddenly I didn't want to go.
Noah
Good evening my friend, my time has come hasn't it?
I've come to fulfill the promise that you yourself would take me instead of your shadows.
Thanatos
Good evening, why the sad face?
Didn't you enjoy seeing a friend?
Noah
I enjoyed it yes, I hold you in high esteem, but I didn't want it to be time.
Thanatos
Oh, and who said I came to take you, I just came to visit, I followed the scent of my mate to the human world.
For Serena I felt a relief, so great I really didn't want to go now, wait he said mate?_ I look at him with a startled look.
Noah
Did you say mate?_ Since when does death have a mate?
Thanatos
Well ever since I found out about it this morning from my father, after almost collapsing after I smelled a strong scent of vanilla and orange blossom.
Noah
That's weird man, I never studied about this.
Thanatos
Apparently this happens when a big change is about to happen in one of the realms, this hasn't happened for exactly 5 generations, which means I will become stronger and also reign and rule the underworld for longer.
Noah
You lucky son of a bitch, 5 generations without a predestined and you have one, that's incredible, congratulations.
As happy as I am for my friend, I can't help but be sad for myself, after all I will never have the luck that Thanatos has, the realms that don't have soulmates still love each other deeply, but not this soul connection, to feel and know your partner's thoughts, to feel deeply loved and have the bond that makes you belong to someone.
Thanatos
Noah... Noah, friend?
Noah
Oh I'm sorry I seem to have drifted off in thought.
Thanatos
Hey man, while there's life there's hope, you can still find her.
Noah
It's too late for me, but tell me how I can help you find yours?
Thanatos
Apparently a hybrid of human and witch, and don't worry, besides her scent when we're close to each other the fire of the underworld tends to circulate around us.
Noah
I can't believe I've known your father since I was 25 and he's never told me about these things, look man, if your father hides things imagine Signora, that witch is a mystery personified.
Thanatos and I are laughing, he's death but he's a very cool guy, contrary to what others think death is very fair, when he needs to take children to the other world he sends his reapers or shadows in the form of their purest dreams, like a princess, a superhero or even a unicorn, it's sad when children die, but unfortunately it happens, but when they're criminals they come in the form of their worst nightmares, sometimes Thanatos himself comes, the underworld is divided into parts, there are places of infinite peace and there are places where the tortures would haunt even my thoughts.
I sit down at the table for dinner with my friend, after all a visit from him is rare, well actually only I went to visit him, and incidentally I rarely met him doing his job, death doesn't rest.
Noah
But if you are here who is in your place?
Thanatos
My father took over as in the old days at least until I get this sorted out.
Serena save me from dying while Daril was in charge of the underworld, the old man gave me the creeps.
