Do you ever wonder where people go when they die, or how they are chosen. My name is Ms black, I am the chosen one, I decide who lives a day who dies.
I didn't exactly start out as a death fairy. Centuries ago, there was nothing like death on earth, Humans lived for ages. Back then, I was a human, a happy little girl who enjoyed writing scary stories.
At night while everyone slept, I'd stay awake, looking out the window and making sketches of the images formed by the night shadows. These sketches inspire my stories.
Over the time, I noticed a reoccurring figure lurking in the woods while I draw. At first, I thought it was my imaginations or perhaps it was merely a figure formed by the shadows.
One night, I decided to get a closer look and find out what exactly the figure was. In the silent of the night, around 1 am, I crept out of the house through the window. With a tiny torch in my hand, I walked towards the figure. Strangely as I came closer, the figure drew back into the woods.
"It can move. It is actually real." I said to myself.
I felt my heart beating a bit louder. I should probably go back, part of me actually wanted to go back, besides I confirmed it was real. But then my curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to know what exactly the creature is and why it keeps lurking around my house.
I ventured deeper into the woods, following the unknown figure which seemed to be moving faster now. I turned back and realized that I was far from home, I literally couldn't see the structure of our house anymore. After a while, I completely lost track of the unknown figure, I was in the middle of nowhere. I heard voices whispering behind the trees.
"Hello, anybody there?"
It seemed like the trees were spinning before my eyes, this made me dizzy and I fell to the ground. A strange hand reached out for me. I looked up, but i couldn't see a face behind the hand. As soon as I grabbed the hand, everything around me changed. It seemed like I was teleported to a different world and a cozy voice said to me.
"Hello there, welcome to the underworld."
"Please I just want to go home. I'm sorry for trespassing."*
"You are not trespassing my dear, you are here because you are the bravest human I've ever seen and the very first to step foot into the underworld." The creature said finally revealing it's face.
"Whatt is the underworld?" I asked curiously.
"It is the world below the world you live in. I'm trying to build an empire of my own, but I can't create soldiers. Therefore I need humans from above to form my soldiers down here."
"I'm sure if you visit the army, you will get some volunteers to form your army."
The creature gave a cold laugh.
"The thing is, my powers are limited to the underworld only. I'm not permitted to walk in your world. I need a medium, like you. Work for me and I'll give you powers beyond your imagination."
"All I have to do is get you soldiers for your army?"
"Exactly! That is all, and you will have the power to do literally anything. You can finally make those stories you love writing come to reality."
The offer seemed tempting, I didn't see anything wrong with the offer. Except I didn't realize that I actually had to kill and take a person's soul before I can send them to the underworld.
"How do I know who to send down here to join your army?"
"It's all your choice my dear, throw a lot, anything that works for you."*
And that is how I became the death fairy. Now you know, you don't die because you are good or because you are bad or because of your sins. You simply end up dead if my lot falls on you.
Let Love Lead

Hello there @dark-rose, welcome to the underworld real world! 😁
Your writing is beuatiful, and your story is quite immaginative.
Do you use discord? Because if you can use it, it would be a great idea if you join us over at @theterminal. You'll find a lot of help and advice, and you can ask and learn about Hive blockchain.
Here's an invite if you want:

I don't use discord yet. I've got several invites, guess I'll have to get discord soon. Thank you.
I got to ask tho, is the curation on my post from the terminal or theinkwell?
@dark-rose,
I'm aware you have been invited before on your introduction post. I'm just trying to help. If you can join us on discord, it would be great, you made a small mistake which needs to be corrected as soon as possible.
I'm just a stranger reaching out a hand. ;)
Super cool storyline @dark-rose, and very well written. Keep writing, and also sometimes pick out a post that you like from someone you don't know, and comment a neat comment on their post and give them a follow, and you'll be helping yourself as this is the way that others see you and your work and you'll pick up friends and followers this way. It takes a little time and persistence though.
