Just Another Day That Death Skipped Town

~Malach (Also know as Abaddon, Thanatos, Hel, Giltinė, Yama, Mal'ak, Mihael, Santa Muerte, Lord of Shinigami, The Netherworld Emissary, The Angel of Dark, The Angel of Death, or simply, The Grim Reaper)

The natural order of all things was starting to bother him. The big guys in charge of the balance seemed to be a little off balance themselves. It's not as if he wasn't doing his job anyhow, and that was what the Reapers were for, right? Loyal band of world wide minions to keep up with the busy work. A part of him was in each and every reaper, so it wasn't cheating those who in death believed in him. Death himself. The original Reaper.

Gone were the days of skeleton body frames and black robes, of 12 wings or brooms and scythes and what not. Now death wore a suit on business trips, and casual cloths in between times. He smoked cheap cigarettes and drank cheaper whiskey.

It is said that he was created at the dawn of time, born after the first human in order to help guide them when they were done. The One to take those who were at rest and guide them to the beyond, so that they may regain a lifes energy and return some day again. His personification has changed over the ages with no only the people but different cultures and so on. He never seems to look the same to one or another lesser known creature. Still his job is the same. Help guide those to where they need to go. Good or Bad, he does not judge. That is not his job. Some cultures think so, but for Death, he (or she, at times) makes sure that the lost are found again.

The life of a reaper is a dull one. Sometimes Death wanders off to enjoy people on Earth for a little while. To walk among them and enjoy simpler times. His job continues to be done, but he can take a breath.

When Malach met Virginia Walker a spark of interest hit. Not the romantic kind, but the purely curious kind. The girl, at such a young age, had more strings of Fate then anyone he had ever seen. A dare devil child tended to hold very few, as life tended to be short for them. Virginia however held so many ties that the Fates Sisters had an entire tapestry all to herself.

He travels now, across the States with the girl on her journey to discover who she is. With his white wolf (Cù Sìth, or Sith for short) and guitar, Malach tries to hold no ties in the open to his underworld lords.
