Chapter 1 - "Does Being Marked Mean You Truly Deserve Death?"

"A person's death says a lot about how they lived. It doesn't define who they are, but rather it reveals the choices, and actions they took up till their final breath. Think long about this, what kind of death do you seek? One surrounded by loved one's? Maybe you desire the warriors honorable death in battle. Perhaps a quiet passing as you watch the sunset is more befitting. Whatever your choice may be, always remember that the choices and actions you make are the stepping stones to your fate. Start skipping along these stones, and you'll reach the end sooner than you may desire." 

My story begins around 44 days ago, back where I was exiled from my seat as a reaper. My job, is what I'll call it for now, was to reap the souls of the living and bring them to a place called the graveyard. I never actually seen this place before, but I somehow knew how to get there. As of current time, that is my first objective. To find the graveyard. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I get there, but I just need to know what exactly it is.

Let's start from the beginning, from the moment I first opened my eyes. I understood language, I knew what objects were even if I've never seen or heard of it before. My senses and movement were fully developed. This was because of a place called the Etherealm, a side of existence that births higher form beings such as myself. The first thing I heard upon waking was, "Strange.. he seems to have a higher sense of expression" I didn't know this at the time, but reapers have little to no expression at all, they have emotions like anyone else, but they are heavily held back, at least they're supposed to be. Seconds upon waking I also had an extreme desire for souls, like a sort of craving, an obsession with harvesting souls and delivering them to the graveyard. This was rooted deep down into my soul. I hated it. The idea of implanting some kind of order that forces you to desire something you didn't want to do was a living hell. This feeling is also the reason I was exiled.

There are six seats, each seat represents a reaper. Each reaper is also birthed with their own unique weapon for harvesting souls. I never actually used mine yet, but I felt comfortable and confident in my ability to wield it, another effect of the Etherealm. The other represent seats 1-4, and 6. I was seat 5. As far as I know, there isn't any difference between the seats in terms of power, or intelligence.
