The first thing I remember was being alone. It was so cold and dark, I thought I was dead. My hands were like ice, my feet had no feeling and I couldn’t move enough to even shiver. I had been lying there for about an hour when suddenly someone appeared before, me. He was a man, rather tall and pale one, who carried a scythe. Well this is it, time to join death in the life after. I had just enough strength to raise my head so he knew that I wasn’t quite dead yet. He just stared at me, unmoving, without making a sound as if to take pleasure in my death. I could feel myself drifting off when he started moving towards me. I panicked and tried to crawl away but to my disappointment I could barely move. He got closer and closer until he was standing right next to me. I gave up struggling, there wasn’t any point now when I couldn’t even move an inch. So there I laid, waiting for my death to come.
“No, that is not what you are destined for.” The cloaked man said. I was surprised but I didn’t have the strength the show it or even register what it meant. The leaned down and lifted my head so I could look him in the eye as he removed his hood. He acutely looked fairly young and attractive, maybe early 20’s. He picked me up gently and carried me across the room. Was this how your spirit travels to the next realm?
I think I had been asleep because the next thing I know I am in his arms directly under the shine of the moonlight. I was still semi-conscious and could barely hear as the man talked but he seemed to be talking in another language anyway. Suddenly out of nowhere I was lifted from his arms by some unknown force and suspended in mid-air in front of him. I was fully awake now but still could not move. I heard him start talking again in that mysterious language but this time, for whatever reason, I could understand him.
“To this girl who has come here to the realm of the unknown and transformed herself, I invite her to join the ranks of the reapers, she shall guide and protect spirits from now till forever more. Now you shall become the Lunar Reaper, a powerful spirit to serve and protect.” He continued talking after that but I could not hear him. I was now facing the moon and its power was taking control of me, becoming a part of me. I could feel my body changing, I got taller and the pain faded away. Just as I thought I was going to disappear and fly to the moon the man stopped talking, the moon disappeared and I lost consciousness.
That is the first and only memory I have
