doubt due to The Creators’ stipulation that a bond must hold us together as one.
We fell in love. Well, sometimes we did. The other times, our partings didn't quite end on amicable terms. Take the “Witch Trials” for example. He was my judge and executioner. I burned at the stake. However, I did pick up a few useful spells and incantations, which I used later. Let's call it my warranted version of payback.
Nonetheless, with each new awakening came a consequence: death. And with each death came a new ability. I suppose you'd call us the first super-humans. But, our actions came with a price, a battle to face. I'd seen things mere mortals believe to be fairy tales, stories to amuse or terrify the eager listener. I learnt the hard way that a shark or mountain lion, or even a grizzly bear aren't always what they seem. There are dangers far beyond your imagining, lurking, waiting for a chance to take a new victim. Trust me.
After my last premature death though, let's say a nasty entanglement with a rogue shark, something changed. I lost myself somewhere. A peculiar place where I exist out of human form. I have no idea how long I've been here, but there's a change coming. A new life awaiting me. It's hard to explain. It feels as though hands are pulling at me, encouraging me to go with them. One problem though, I have no idea where they want me to go. But what frightens me more than anything; I sense a terrifying permanence in this next life, which could end in my death for real this time.
