Frey's First Negotiation

Frey was calm as she faced Eduardo's fierce soul. She still had in her hands the reason why the soul that had been anguish earlier became somewhat touchable.

The ball of incense she holds gives positive energy to any soul it touches. And that's what happened to Eduardo, his body couldn't move and he was just stunned at where he was standing.

Earlier while Frey was in the Hospital and talking to the old man's family she met a group of Reapers, she got curious and followed them. There she witnessed the taming of the soul that was also losing its control using the ball of incense of their Negotiator. Frey was amazed that she drove to try it, and she was not disappointed as she was eyeing the result now.

Every smoke of incense seeped into the groins and corners of the floor they were on. The people who had been praying in a corner hurriedly ran away from the place after the gust of strong winds subsided.

Andreus and Captain Farvati came along in Frey's back to assist their negotiator.

"I heard the King's decision about you, what have you done that made him agree to give you another chance? That one is a bit tough " Frey did not expect that the Captain would open up the topic in this kind of situation. She was a little lost, she didn't know what to answer to her.

"We should talk about that later Captain," Andreus interrupted the awkward ambiance between the two. "You said you saw his body? We need to get him, as soon as possible." He added.

Andreus seemed to be aware of Frey's anxiety at their Captain's question. He cut off the nascent conversation when he saw them, especially knowing how deeply Celestine was afraid of their Captain.

Celestine loses her focus when put she was put in an interrogation.

"It's in the back part of the building," Farvati straightly replied. "Okay, talk to him properly Celestine. Look, my hand is full of wounds and scars from digging where he was buried." Farvati sounds lazy as a Captain to give Celestine the task, but she was just doing it to benefit also the weak reaper. She wanted her to learn, and stand up for herself.

"Y-Yes Captain," Frey answered back, bringing her eyes back to the target.

"C'mon, you can do it. I'm on your back." Andreus gave encouraging words to his friend. He pulled his sword and positioned it defending their team.

Frey let out a sigh, she aimed to help the old man even if she just lured and tricked her. As part of the human community... She knows what it feels like to be hurt and lost.

'A Main quest?' Frey thought.

[YOUR CLIENT IS A VENGEFUL SPIRIT OF INJUSTICE. HE IS A TARGET FOR THE HOST MISSION. BUT STILL, IT'S UP TO THE HOST TO REGISTER THE SOUL AS HER MAIN QUEST AND ADD UP TO HER SECOND LIFE METER IF SHE SUCCEEDS TO ESCORT HIM INTO THE GATE OF HELL.]

It didn't even occur to Frey that Eduardo would be part of his mission. The only thing she wanted was for him to cross over and join the light.

Frey remains stable with her ball of incense in her hand, she should choose whether to accept the main quest or not before starting the whole process of her negotiation with the soul.

[DISPLAYING THE SECOND LIFE METER OF THE HOST.]

A rectangular shape on the upper right side of her system suddenly appeared with a 0% status. It was divided into six columns, indicating the spaces for the percentages of the vengeful souls she will escort sooner or later.

Frey couldn't think properly about what was happening, she had been holding the incense for a few minutes, and her head was tingling at the same time.

'Does it affect us too?' Frey glanced at his companions, they were calm, showing no signs of being affected by the natural power.

'Proceed with the Quest,' she said in her mind in response to the System.

[QUEUING MAIN QUEST... GOODLUCK! COMPLETE THE MISSION AND BE THE NUMBER ONE GRIM REAPER. GET YOUR REWARD OF REINCARNATION.]

Frey was encouraged by the System's words.

She wants to get back to her life, to her family and fiancé Charles.

"Eduardo, do you hear me? Eduardo." Frey started calling for the soul under her control.

The soul is bowed, its lips constantly twitching and his eyes blink constantly. He seems to be a robot that only follows its remote control device.

"Maybe we can talk now." Frey's voice was soft as if comforting the old man who was completely missing life.

The old soul moves his head up and down.

"Tell me, what else do you want to do? What is the reason for your revenge?"

"They killed me, I will kill them too." He answered lifelessly

"Will that make you happy?"

Eduardo didn't answer right away, in his heart he couldn't weigh whether he would be happy to take revenge on them or not.

"Come with us, we'll take you to a better place." Frey tries to tame the old man with her sweet words.

Suddenly, the soul's facial expression changed, his eyes became gloomy, and small tears formed that continued to slide down his face.

"I have nowhere to go instead of hell. Leave me alone," he said. "Don't you know that I'm not as clean as you think? I killed my father." Shaking his head, he answered Frey's offer of help.

"No Eduardo, you didn't do that. Maybe you caused him to think of taking his own life. But..."

In truth, Frey didn't even know if what she was saying was right. If she were in the human world, they would surely demand that the old man die as well. He will be stoned as an irresponsible useless son.

There every one mistake, your hundred good deeds will be forgotten.

"You did an indirect murder. Yes, you may not have killed but you were one of the reasons that made someone think about dying. The God of Tounge of Hell will take care of your case, now it would be better if you come with us. I can find a good lawyer for you." Captain Farvati said seriously. Her eyes were emotionless, while her arms were folded in front of her. Like her usual gesture.

"What about those who shamelessly killed me? I would still be alive if they didn't hide the crime, I'm still alive."

They knew that fact, it must have been very painful on Eduardo's part to die while begging to be helped and saved. But this is his fate.

"We will give you justice in this world, your case will be even worse if you take this problem into your hands. Think carefully, your mother will not be happy about this." Frey mentioned his mother to get more of his attention. She feels how much he loves his parents, and he must be very sorry for what happened to his father.

Eduardo just cried at that point, he fell to his knees and poured out his grief. Sympathy for the old soul was visible on the faces of the three Reapers. He went through so much when he was still alive, that he forgot to give time for himself.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Father. Forgive me. My mother..." Eduardo pleaded. He didn't like the things that happened, saying hurtful words to his father was just due to emotional damage, and tiredness from work. In his mind, he regrets everything completely and prays that he can take back what happened.

Frey slowly approached the soul and spoke to him firmly. She explained that there was no anger in his mother's heart. And he could get to her before he crossed over, now, he had to go with them and everything would be fine.

The strong gust of wind around stopped, and everything became calm even the sky. Frey also lowered back her incense when the soul agreed to her negotiation.

From the top where they were standing, they catches the police mobile's siren coming across the building. They are here for the body reported by Captain Farvati.

The old soul suddenly felt relief and justice. He assured the reapers that he will not be making any mistakes this time. He wanted everything to be alright before he leave.

And they also promised the soul to have a dream visitation on her mother no matter what the consequence is.
