The Life of Death

Summary:

The life as death is a lonely one for the small no-named spirit. Every moment spent with another; a fleeting last moment. One often filled with hopelessness and sorrow, but also comfort and release; all things death is used to. All things death has come to expect from those whose pain and life he’s come to take away.

That is until death finds himself face to face with a village boy, named Gon, who appears at the edge of the forest. Surprised by the lack of fear and no trace of pain on that smile plastered face, death ventures closer and an unlikely friendship begins. With a new name and an energetic friend, Killua finds that maybe his life as death isn’t as lonely as he thought it would be. But all of that could fall apart with just a simple touch.

Chapter 1: Prolouge

Chapter Text

Death, it takes from us, those we love and those we hold dear to us. For some, it comes suddenly, unexpectedly, like a strike of lightning in the night, here for just a moment and then they’re gone. For others, it's a slower ordeal. One where they can tell death is coming and prepare to meet it.

Some meet death with fear while others welcome it with open arms. There are those who spend their lives running from death and avoiding it at all costs, doing anything and everything they can in the hope that it will never truly find them. Others seek death out, embrace it and even long for it, finding any way they can to bring death to them quicker.

Then there are some, like the little island boy, who accept death for what it is and still lives life without fear or worry of when death may come, no matter how soon that may be.

This is the story of Whale island’s spirit of death and the little island boy that lives there. What adventures does life hold for both the living and the life taker?
