An opposing force breaks from their prison with the intention to bring havoc and destruction to the Earth. The gods are warring against themselves and the fate of the world lies in the hands of five friends that have been blessed by the gods with the power to fight these evil strangers.

They walk the Earth and can only be seen by those near death. They work in the shadows and those that have passed on to the next stage. They work indiscriminately. Always objective and leading a soul when it is time to go. But, they are not unfeeling. And one father pleads to them and travels through Heaven and back to save his only son.

Have a 2min idea? I'll make a oneshot of it, details inside.
