"M'lady.." a soul mumured, but the whisper seemed to reverberate throughout the hall. "Hm?" Death replied, lifting up her veil. "One of the crows have a report, one that needs to be dealt eith immediately." the soul said, the faceless body still bowing to it's queen. "What's the problem?" She asked, now facing the soul.

"It's your youngest child. He's getting more.. intense visions. Your spouse suspects his energies are evolving from their hibernating state."

If Kristen's heart could beat, she suspects she would've had five heart attacks in a matter of mere moments. "I beg your pardon?" Death near screeched. It was hardly her child's time yet. He shouldn't be growing more energy until atleast thirty. He shouldn't even have noticeable energies until his mid twenties!

"I- My queen..? What are yo-"

Thick blue blood splattered onto the dark void-like floor.

Desth gasped, staring at the decapitated soul's body, the dark blue blood. Her sharp claws doused in the liquid.

"Weak,
Fool,
Idiot,
You."

the souls screeched. She raised her fist, dark purple chains wrapping around all their mouths.

"You have no right to speak to me like that." She said, voice hitched as she floated towards a fountain, water dark and dingey. Death waved a hand over the rocky form, water vanishing into a mist, Before a flash. It was showing her the future?

It showed her youngest son, thrashing in bed, his brother – Why only one..? – and father holding him down as dark horns peircing his skin, blood turning from red to blue.

How soon was this into the future?

Why?

WHY?

All was mystery.
