Belle Adams' Butler
Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

The Rower- Part 2
Hearing Lucas explain the world of the dead and how things worked, Belle couldn't help but be intrigued with it.
"The place you have been so far, that is just the outer area. One side you have towns, towns for the dead and on the other side, there is a path that leads to the gates. But no one can cross without the Seventh card of Grim's," said Lucas to her, "What you will find is a forest with thick creepers hanging around. The deeper and further you go inside, you will come to see a river. A river that has murky water that is black in colour, "Rower is the one who rows people and the souls who come to pass through the gates for salvation. You must have seen some people who place coins on the dead's eyes."
Belle nodded her head to this.
"The coins that are placed here changes to a currency that is used in the land of the dead. Rower takes the coins as fare for the ride in his ferry."
