Death is welcoming, life is painful and a sad tale but death?

Is warm like a hand coming to you to make sure your alright, but death had plans for my fate.

You see I had died from being run over by a large ass bus when I pushed a little girl out of the way what happen next was my boy was ripped apart. I can still feel the pain even now as my arms and legs were crushed from my body like chicken bones when some guy breaks the bones for the hell of it.

I guess you can say I died a hero?

Never wanted to be one quote green goblin, 'But the one thing they love than a hero is to see a hero fall/fail/die trying,"

Glad I never got to see the newlines 'Local Hero was really a BRONY!'

Guess death was really looking out for me, but it gave me a chance of something new, it spoke with his bone handed.

'In flesh does a hero fail but in steel does a hero stand,'

weird as it was I somehow understood what it said.

So we formed a pact, one where I return not a living man but a being of death.

My body felt numb but slowly the feeling of a body returned, though this new form was different from my birth body it was more powerful than before.

Death had granted me a new 'life' as a dreadnought you know one of those titans from 40k? But a unique one that I couldn't name but one that was my new body. I watched as my vision turned green as if I was a terminator (skynet) as words formed before me,

For what felt like the first time I felt my hands return as I squeeze the rocks under my fists as I smiled, pulling myself up I got on my feet for what felt like the first time. I couldn't help but smile behind my metal face, at the though of me being like a little child taking its first steps in its life, but for me this was my first steps in my (un)life.

I then looked down at my hands see the blood red metal arms that held the symbol of the blood ravens upon them I grinned once more as then began a system diagnostics. My armor began to shift at the thought of brain as plates of armor moved and shifted before returning back to there original plates, then my weapons from my back to my arms to and then my Ax came to my hand.

Well it was more of a Haldernberg axe to match to my towering size of a dreadnaught, the power of the blade alone was something that could easily cut though powerarmor like butter but that was when it wasn't powered.

Looking in the cave I was in I saw a large stone rock and got a idea to test the blade when it wasn't power and I pulled the blade back and gave a powerful swing. Slowly the rock slide from the cut till it hit the floor like something from a anime, a more than prefect cut that did more than bring a smile to my face. Placing the ax on the ground I looked at my body and worked on my new form even more as I anything I though came to reality. If I wanted a servo skull that rested on my back to come online it did without question or if I wanted to scan the cave I was in my scanner did what it was told.

"I see you have taken well to your new body well," I turned to voice I knew all to well, death itself.

It held the form of a large cloak that floated in the air that was small compared to my large titan from but I knew it held the power to take my new from without a second thought.

"My lord," I spoke kneeling down to the shadow of life. "What is it that you wish from me,"

The darkness chuckled.

"You know what I wish from you my boy," I knew what he ment. "I just came to see if you were taking to your new form well,"

I looked up from my kneeling form.

"It like riding a bike my lord," Death floated over to me as I saw the shadow of a skeleton.

"Good and you know my task I gave to you?" He asked and I nodded.

"Reap the souls of guity even if they are the princesses themsleves," I spoke.

"Good good...I glad you understand my champion, this cave I placed you in holds what you need to start a foot hold boy don't disappoint me," With that the reaper vanished into the dark.

Getting up from my kneeling from I commanded my skulls to get to work on construction of my outpost as I smiled behind my helm as they drilled into the solid rock.

You see I had made a deal with my master death, death cannot reap the living for it was against the truce that life and death held. I held a list of those who must pay there due to death...

• Discord
• Stygain
• The pillars
• Blue blood
• Tirek
• Cozy glow
• And more

For reasons that death did tell me why they were on it's list but I new death well and it always had a reason why it target them, if they cheated death or acts of sin so great that the ghost rider will have thrown up.

This was way I was here...

This was way I was death's dreadnought.
