The Reaper

My heartbeat was fast at first and then slowly began to slow. I remember riding in a car with my friends, we were a little high. That would most likely be my downfall as I saw flashes of light, then a crash, and finally sirens. Slipping into a deep sleep and the real world I could see my brothers and family. I knew this was the end, this was the last time I would be able to see them. Using what remained of my strength I tried to get up only to have pain shoot through my body. I then decided to choke out my final words to the one I will never see again.

"I...Love... You all" That were my last words as my heart stopped and I slipped into the cold embrace of death that was when I realized that my eyes were still open. All around me were just darkness and nothing more nothing less. That was when I felt like I was not alone in this dark void. I stood on the ground littered with smoke and fog and there was an uncanny valley feeling to the whole place. That was when I turned and saw a dark figure standing only a few feet away from me. He or she was holding a lamb and had a cloak and black wings on its back. I stood there not knowing what it was or what it wanted. That was when a scale appeared behind it and I saw my inter life on it and all the good and bad things.

"You were a good man. If your life were to go on you would have a great family." The figure said with a dead voice and I couldn't help but be a little afraid of it. That was when it had presented me with a choice I had to make. "You can live in the eternal holy land. Where nothing bad can ever happen there." I looked on in stunned silence as what I saw could only be described as heaven itself. But before I got a good look at it, the figure showed me the other choice. "Or, you can be an angel of death in a world that needs it the most." That one got my attention as I knew that heaven would be boring but is this option better? "The choice is yours." That was the last thing I heard from the figure and I knew what I wanted. All my life I wanted to help dose who need it and being an angel of death would be perfect. Without a second thought, I chose the angel one and as soon as I did I felt my body change. The once alive skin and flesh around me turn to a black corpse with my fingers tips becoming claws. A black cloak appears on my body, A scythe in my hand, and finally a raven on my shoulder. My face now just a skull was hidden in the hood of the cloak.

"I am a Reaper," I say on instinct and that was when I was thrown into a new world. What I felt was the familiar cold of snow and wind. I stood and looked around seeing where I needed to be as I saw the crystal empire. A certain king is long past his time in this world. And his angel of death is here to collect what is long due for any normal living being. The raven appeared on my shoulder and then on my back as it turned into my wings. Finally flying to the castle the winter wind did not affect me at the least. Flying through the bubble shield and approving the city, many ponies below me looked up in shock and fear. But their time is not now, only one time has passed and his life will finally be claimed and taken to death itself.

Landing in the throne room I scanned the room seeing the room and saw the pony I need. King Sombra on one of his crystals on the outside of the balcony. Not taking a chance to miss the very soul I came here for his, I flew directly to him. My scythe was in my hands as I raised it and brought it down. All the ponies that witness this looked on in horror as my site not only cut into flesh but had harvested his very soul.

"King Sombra. Your time is up, your death is unavoidable." His eyes widen in fear as he knew this would happen he knew that death would come for him. But an angel of death was something new to him and the life in his eyes faded away. His body fell to the ground landing with a thud. The very soul of Sombra I had sent straight to my employer where he will be judged. That was when I landed back in the throne room and the once empty is now filled with seven ponies and one small dragon.

"Stop right there you.... uh.. whatever you are." The rainbow main one said as she flew approving everyone else. I simply looked at them with my skull face but what they saw was an empty spot where a face should be. All back up in fear, but the one with horns and wings eyes widen and she spoke.

"Your an angel of death aren't you?" She asked looking at me with shock and awe. I nodded my head not wanting to use my voice as I do not want to make them shit themselves. All looked at the light pink alicorn with the pink, yellow, and purple main.

"Honey, do you know what this thing is?" The white male pony with a blue and light blue main asked. The alicorn then nodded her head as I turned around. My wings appeared on my back and not saying a word I lifted myself out the balcony window.

The Reaper has come for those that cheat death.
