<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>
*I snorted in semi-disbelief.*

Damn, what a way to nuke my sense of scale from orbit. If you don't consider yourself comparable to a god, then I'd quite hate to so much as breath the same oxygen as something you actually think qualifies.

*Maybe it had simply been so long that I'd forgotten what godly auras felt like. Maybe it was simply that when I was standing before the Pantheons, I'd been too weak to sense them the same way I could sense Alna now. Whatever the case, I quite hoped that such things stayed thoroughly not my problem for a long long time.

<Snipped quote by Uncle Death>
*I chose not to outright dispute that, despite just how... frankly incorrect he was. I couldn't age. My body was not normal, not mortal any longer. Even now, I could only vaguely grasp the theory behind what happened when I self-resurrected. After all, I could only analyze it while dead. This guy wasn't the first Death God and/or concept of Death I'd stood before, and if all those other guys combined couldn't kill me, despite definitely wanting to? Well, I wasn't about to give this guy's promise much credence. Honestly, best case scenario, this "Uncle Death" knew perfectly well the reality and was just playing it off; after all, Death had a reputation to maintain with all these other guys. Outwardly, I merely shrugged with a wry expression.*

If that day comes, sure, but I've long since given up on there being an afterlife for me.

*I snorted and rolled my eyes at the following puns.*

*He floats over to the open doors, relaxing on the air like a bed*

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>
*Raising a single brow, I shrugged and stood, following along behind Alma.*

<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>

After I sort things out for my guest here we will leave.

*Turns looking in your direction momentarily before looking back to Collin as I step onto the balcony.*

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

So, if you wish to have a roof of your own son I'd like you to decide where it's going to be if not I can create a room in the keep. Your choice.

*Leans on stone railing overlooking the vast forest below, awaiting your answer.*

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

*smiles*
You don’t believe me.
*holds my head with my arms behind them*
There are many who can bypass time. But death? You can only run so far.

Finding other things to do.
*sits down*
Though not much came treasure wise, I am glad we were able to save these people.
*looks towards her*
I can give her a proper burial that she deserves.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

I think that'll be good... For now, let's get out of here...

*I start leading the way out*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Bounces along behind you*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*We arrive outside the castle. Unaware of how much time has passed. Night has fallen, and in the night sky is a shattered moon and spatter of twinkling stars. Bathing the place in a gentle blue glow.*

Hmm... I think... I've found a place for me to stay... At least for the while.

<Snipped quote by Uncle Death>
*I shrugged again. I seemed to be doing that a lot today.*

Well, to be clear, I obviously don't have a death wish, but I've seen enough to suspect that I might be one of the closest things to an exception there is. Not really sure how to feel about that. Technically, I'm over a century old, but I've only been awake about... twenty of those years? I've kind of been avoiding thinking about what I'm actually going to do with my unaging self long-term. I'd been distracting myself with world-ending threats, but now...?

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>
*I hummed in thought, before crossing my arms.*

Not a huge fan of living alone honestly. Despite some of the rather... exotic individuals around here, I think I'd prefer to stick around the keep. After all, worst case, I'll be on hand if something happens.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*As soon as your fist meets my body your skin literally begins to rot, pure waves of corruption warping your body like it's being melted and remade.*

I'm not that easily beaten.

*The gravity well explodes outward, and I shoot towards you at speeds greater than light or sound. Clocking the side of your head with an earth-shaking punch that sends another wave of pure corruption through your body, long term memories begin to become shaky memories and names begin to be hard to remember.*

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

*you find that my skin hardens in reaction to the rot, as if it changed compounds chemically in reaction to the rot. The explosion sends me a short didstance away, but I absorb most of the impact, forming a thin veil of amaranthien around my body. My memories do not change as a direct result of your attack, however. You find that the wave of corruption breaks through the veil, but barely nicks my skin*

You are quite powerful, indeed.

*raises a single finger to your forehead*

Allow me to show you a sample of mine.

*a single flash of energy ripples through your entire body, destroying cells as fast as they can replenish. Every cell becomes engulfed by energy hotter than the surface of the sun*

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

I'd rather not replicate the work he's already done if it can be avoided.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Definitely. He just needs not be the spearhead of the endeavor himself. He's never been much for conflict, I know this took a toll on him.

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

This is the group to be with then!
*laughs*
Though I am serious about the death part, there are many more with interesting ways they delay or get around me. Personally, I have no hatred for you. Despite what more think of me. And I am not the Grim Reaper, amigo. They are just glorified murderers, never listen to them.
*lays back and floats in the air like I’m on a hammock*
It’ll be interesting to find out how you get away from me before your death, but it wouldn’t be the first time someone dies without finding out their power.

<Snipped quote by Uncle Death>

I'm quite at peace knowing one day my soul will find it's way to an afterlife, at least that is what I hope. But for now I'll exist until one day I am destroyed or decide it is time to 'greet the reaper' so to speak.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

You’ll at least get to see me last.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

This little adventure really did take a while. Do you think the castle will stick around or return to the way it was before?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I think the castle and this abandoned city will be here for a long time. Reclaiming it with what little people we have right now is currently impossible. They need a place to start fresh, I'll be journeying with them for a while... We were unfortunately unable to find treasure after everything.

Eve: Well I wouldn't say that...

*Eve takes her bejeweled crown and offers it to us*

Eve: I am a ruler without a kingdom... This is no use where I am going.

<Snipped quote by Uncle Death>

*Chuckles.*

Yes, it'll be a bone-afide individual such as yourself that will take me.
