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.

Catching attention- Part 1
A tall building stood in the barren land of the dead where none of the trees had leaves left on them. Crows sat on top of the branches, cawing and making noises like the ones inside the main building.
"This is the fourth Grim who has gone missing and the guards have not been able to track where he last was?!" one of the three creatures who sat on top of the raised platform demanded the creature that stood in front of them.
"The Fourth Grim infects people when he wants. We didn't know if it was because he was waiting to plague the lands," answered the reaper who kept records of all the reapers work.
"It is your duty to keep track of where they go! Three Grims have fallen into the land of the living. Refusing to reappear here in the court," hissed the same creature who was seated at the left end of the chair that had wild creepers circled around the legs of the chair, "Go place a bounty on them. Whoever brings them would fight for the title of Grims."
