Harlequin Raver
"When in danger, or in doubt..."
"Run in circles, scream and shout!"
The story
Long ago, death was looked forward to, like the ultimate liberation from all of one's misery. There fore, thousands of years ago, The Reapers where looked up to like the gods they once where. The Reapers were worshiped by all, and where considered the guardians of the dead, for they fairied the souls of the dead to the mighty hall of judgment.
But as time passed, people began to long for a lengthy life, wishing to have more years then what they where given. People began to fear death, and so, they feared The Reapers. The Reapers where no longer looked up to as gods, but as demons who came to earth to rip one's soul from their body before their true time.
But alas, as humans lives grew longer, The Reapers grew fewer and fewer. The once mighty gods had been dethroned, and they fell pray to legends and myth. The once mighty clan of guides became known to us modern folk as, "THE Grim Reaper."
But, Even if the humans no longer believe, the reapers do not stop their jobs. They continue their jobs as the guardians and guides of the dead. They keep themselves distant from the world, residing in their own realm to prevent any farther conflict with the human kind.
That is, until one young reaper decides to venture away from her fathers watchful eye and into the human realm. She watches over the humans and, despite her gruesome job, falls in love with a human boy. Sadly, she is forced to watch from afar.
