    "I work for a well known grim reaper organization, but something happened and I found out. Now they want to kill me...I can't let them have it, instead I'll give it to this annoying kid, he has the potential already, though he just needs a jumpstart" The reaper said into empty space, weighing his options.

Immediately he gripped Xelian's wrist.

    "What are you blabbing about?!" Xelian retorted struggling to get but the reaper's grip was too tight

    "I Lion...hereby make you, damned spirit- a reaper. I give you purpose, reason to exist, deviate from it and cease to exist into nothingness" amidst the reapers chants, his palm portrayed a great golden light which shined through Xelian's skin enforcing him in immense pain.

    "Asleep is Xelian, risen to serve is Dark." the reaper granted with faint breaths.

Lion was quickly immersed in pain while that of Dark seized.

Xelian was finally free of Lion's grasp only to find a burnt scar which drew out Lion's palm on his wrist.

    "What is all these, what the fuck is all these shit!!" Xelian barked enraged by his current situation.

Lion finally managed to stop screaming as a mysterious ball of energy originated from within the whole on his chest.

It majestically floated over to Xelian staring him in the face, it let out a quick crack then half of the ball like life-source disintegrated into dust and rode the wind over to Xelian's body, wrapping itself around him despite how hard Xelian tried to wave it away.

The able half of Lion's source slowly floated back towards Lion but he uses his last able strength to push it straight into Xelian's chest though still in its solid form causing a massive shockwave which covered quite the radius.

Xelian's eye colour instantly changed from bright red to faded green, his hair followed suit as its colour changed from brown to bold red.

Every rustle, every sound made by anything echoed through Xelian's ears as he exhaled releasing cold steam from his mouth, his skin growing more pale.

    "You are now a Leacher, your purpose is to reconstruct the pillar" Lion whispered while his body gradually turned to ash.

    "Lion, Lion..what pi...I don't get...I have so many questions.. wait.." Xelian rumbled in distress.

He was now alone in this crazy situation he found himself.

Xelian abruptly turned over his shoulder consequent to the twitching of electric energy that plagued his ears.

The growling electric charges turned into a fanatical whirlpool which somewhat seemed like a portal.

    "Fuck this shit!" Xelian cursed as he quickly and skillfully lifted his body off the ground in an attempt to run away but the pulling effect of the portal was too powerful; he was briskly sucked into it then it closed up, bestilling the atmosphere without any trace of former disturbances whatsoever.

REAPER VERSE....

A portal opened and Xelian fell right through it.

    "And who are you?.." A thick male voice echoed in the enclosed room.

Xelian halted his movement on the ground after hearing the voice of the man, probably with the immediate thought that he was a reaper like Lion.

He finally looked up to meet the sight of a middle aged man, probably around his late 30's fully clad in armor *in his right hand  was a smoothened wooden stick*

    "You are not Lion, neither are you dressed like assassins." the man said after observing his appearance.

    "You knew Lion?" Xelian asked as he haltingly got up from the cold tiled floor.
