1 Intro

In a vast and mysterious forest a small creature comes out from its safe haven which is a hole that is formed in one of the many towering trees in the forest to scavenge some food to sustain its life. This creature was similar to that a squirrel except for two things. The color of its fur was light green almost similar to grass and its speed was faster then what the eyes could focus on, once you blinked your eyes the squirrel would be in an entirely different place almost as if it could teleport.

As the squirrel like creature was scavenging its nose twitch seemingly picking up a scent that it was looking for. Once locking onto the scent the creature began to sprint using its incredible speed to follow the scent it had found. As it got close to the scent it stopped in it tracks from time to time and sniffed the air to pinpoint its target until it finally found out were the source of smell came from a giant rock surrounded by trees as if they were circling the rock however it wasn't just the rock alone in fact a lone figure of a person laying on the rock with there arms behind their head with a hoodie on covering up everything from the nose up seeming to be asleep.

Usually if this creature encountered anything unknown it would use its speed to escape to somewhere else as fast as possible however it seemed to be too focused on the smell it was tracking to even notice this person in fact the smell seemed to come from the person them-self. When the creature got close enough it hopped on top of the person attire slipping here and there because of the sleek texture which was on a coat that resembles that of darkness, black and empty. In fact this coat kinda gave an Erie feeling as if starring at it for to long will suck out your very soul. It covers the body fully from top to bottom almost like a giant robe that would reach all the way to a person ankles. Anyway, this meant nothing to the creature as its target was on top this person chest which was a small pile these red shaped nut that looked to be covered in some powdery substance.

Excited to find its target the creature squealed then ran to the nuts and started to stuff its mouth with the nuts making its cheeks bigger and bigger. As it was stuffing its cheeks after every other nut or so the creature would put its small paws to its stuffed cheeks and sway its body left and right as it made many different pitches of squeals almost as if it was singing unaware that the face of the person it was on was making a smile.

However that smile seemed to turn into a frown almost immediately seemingly to notice something the person slowly moved their head up to look at the sky trying not to disturb the happy creature and the person saw a black bird circling above them with it eyes focusing on its prey. Finally after circling a couple of time the bird dived but did so without making a sound making its presence almost nonexistent heading towards the small squirrel.

Seeing this the person sighed, once he did the air from their sigh hit the the small squirrel making it pick up its guard looking around vigilantly. As it did it finally caught onto the bird coming straight at it. Originally there would be no way for the bird to get it because of its speed but with all the nuts in its cheek it speed would be reduced immensely so with a heavy heart the squirrel prioritized its life over the food so it spit everything out to ensure its safety however this didn't go unnoticed by the bird. Seeing that its prey was about to escape it gave up it stealth and gave a heavy flap of its wings to give it speed boost.

After finally spitting out every nut the squirrel got ready to take its first step to escaped it slipped once again this time causing it to tumble off the person and land on the ground. Seeing its chance the bird flapped once again and opened up its claws to pick up its prey which it turn cause the squirrel to tense up and close it eyes and wait for the pain it expected to get however after waiting a second or two it realized the pain never came it opened it eyes only to see its predator caught in a hand covered with a black fingerless glove grabbing it forcing its wings shut.

Of course this hand belonged to the person the squirrel was eating off of. From the person a young energetic male voice sounded with "Sorry but i can't let you do that its kinda my fault the little one is here to begin with" as the man was saying this the bird tried to squirm in its hand to be released however all its struggle vanished when it eyes caught the mans and all it felt was the intense feeling of death which resulted in it only having one response flee.

As if seeming to know what the bird was feeling the man released the bird and as soon as he did the bird flew away as fast as its wing could carry it. Once he finished watching the bird fly off he focused his attention to the squirrel who once noticing the mans gaze on it used its speed to run up to a branch then starred at the man with curiosity instead of running away. Seeing this the man laughed and said "I know you can understand me and trust me when I say i mean you no harm" the man then reaches into the pocket of his coat and brought out the same red nuts from before he then continued with "As a apology you can have your favorite hell nuts, so hot and spicy it makes it feel like you fell into hell."

After seeing the nuts the squirrel eyes began to sparkle and made its way towards the man however stopped once it was about 2 ft away and then slapped it paw to the ground. After seeing this the man gave a questioning look pointed at the nuts and asked "You want me to put these on the ground" The squirrel nodded its head then gave a pushing motion with its paw. Seeing this the man smiled and said "Understood" he then put the nuts on the ground and backed away two steps and put his hands into the pocket of his coat.

Seeing this the squirrel made a mad dash to the nuts and stuffed them into its cheek at a much faster pace then before. After finishing up and seeing the man not doing anything it turned its back to were it came from but then made one final look at the man and made a waving motion with its paws. Seeing this the man waved back and said "Bye bye be safe on your way back home". The squirrel nodded its head then disappeared back into the forest.

After seeing the squirrel disappeared the man spoke to himself "Well that was a cute little one". Suddenly a woman's voice came from nowhere saying "You do realize you just released a super rare baby Antioch Luriel" not surprised by the sudden voice of the woman the man responded "You know I don't care about that beside after finishing my assignment we won't be here for much longer so I'm gonna relax here for as long as possible" The woman sighed "and the real reason" the man smiled "Seeing the way it eats reminded me of a certain some one does it not"

The woman thought for a moment "You know, now that you say that it does resemble them I wonder what they are doing" The man laughed "1000 Sp they are currently sleeping" the woman laughed "and i know someone who would go against that and bet 2000 Sp" the man sighed "and she would probably win it some how" They then both began to laugh but were interrupted by a loud explosion that took place quite some distance away causing all the creature to scatter in the opposite direction of the explosion.

The man looked towards the sound of the explosion and sighed "So whats the result on my last bet?" the woman laughed"What do you think?" the man looked up then said "I think i just got another assignment". Another explosion goes off from the same direction and the man sighs and begin to walk towards the area were the explosion came from. As he does the woman answers the question from before with the enthusiasm of a show host "Dear sir you are correct, you have just won a special assignment straight from HQ that has all the juicy details that you already know, aren't you just excited" the man sighs once again and spoke with full sarcasm "I can hardly contain myself" the woman laughs "like you didn't already know this was going to happen".

As they spoke the man began to reach the end of the forest and as he did the sound of clashing metal and explosions began to grow larger and larger. Once he past the clearing of the forest all that was ahead of him was a cliff with the sound hes have been hearing coming below. Once he reached the end he said "I can be wrong sometime" he then looked down. What reflected in his eyes was a massive war with many human and humanoid beast fight each other for supremacy. He then sighed once again "It just not this time" the woman's voice responded "So shall we get started" the man smiled and his voice carried a serious tone "Yea, Lets get to work" he then jumped off the cliff heading directly into the war. As he was falling he couldn't help but remember how his current life started all the back in that small white room were a beautiful women appeared and asked him a simple but unique question "Would you like to work for me as my Reaper?"
