Chapter 22: Staring
WingsYou see, Sooyoung is what you'd call a free spirit. She was someone who roasted the heck out of someone when she wants to. She's seen her fair share of morbid things but she doesn't know where to put this in. This being the fact that she was in the middle of somewhere, battered and bruised with her friends that was her second family, standing on as she sees the ing God of Death in front of them.
She was about to say something when almost everything came back to her. So, as she stands there dumbfounded, she made a list of a few facts and then some.

The crystal kept some of the essence that the Heavens created Death. In their early years, Death was heartless. Just a tool for the Heavens. It changed when the Heavens disappeared and when Cosmos was created. Death found a way to be 'human' in a sense. That crystal, if broken, would make Death, well... DEATH.
