Three
Selia did not ask what he had done to her, or how he had made her change as well, for she already knew, they were connected. They had stepped fully into the mantle that they had carried for a long while. She felt so of the pieces of True Death conflicting with what she was, and yet, that conflict faded quickly as things fell into place.
After all, True Death could not exist if there was no Creation, no life to reach the end.
We are not as we were before, Ryun spoke, it was a statent, not a question. She answered it still. She had more ti to get accustod to this. His anger, his desire to hunt and kill the yeti had led him deeper into the parts of him that was the Reaper, that was the Violent Hunt manifested.
No, she sent to him slowly yet at the speed of thought. When they tapped into the power of the True Death before, when their auras touched they beca a singular being, sharing a single mind and thoughts.
They could do that now as well, with no effort at all. She knew it, and he did as well. But neither of them made an effort to take that step and beco one.
Because we rember, Selia said kindly.
Yes, because they rembered. Because they knew why they split apart in the first place, because they did not want to be lonely. Because they chose to be two, instead of one.
Selia was She didnt know what she was. She rembered being the Scythe, all the ages since the birth of another Universe, it was more than a dream, it was well, mory.
She nearly lost herself in it when this change happened, she nearly beca the old Scythe in truth, as Ryun had nearly beco the old Reaper. Because the mories had a weight that her mind did not.
But Erdania was there, and her voice pulled Selia back, the sa way that she had pulled Ryun back by reminding him of what they had. It was emotion, their care for one another that had anchored them to this mont in their mories, this ti. This version of who they were, not the old ones.
She understood the need for change, for them to take action and beco sothing different. The weight of the old Aspects of True Death was too much, they would not be able to always push it away, to keep their minds in the present. They needed sothing more, a new anchor. I want
Yes, Ryun responded, understanding imdiately what she wanted.
Their thoughts were still close to each other, and they both turned to Erdania, everything else forgotten. Raazel was important, but so things were more so.
Revenge.
It was what Ryun had cautioned Tali against, what had brought her down. He didnt bla her for the actions of others, no. But now, even through his anger he understood that it gave those others the opportunity to act.
But revenge was poison, he knew it, it had broken too many things in his life. He would not be slave to it. To the need to make another hurt when soone he cared about was more important. Tali was safe, he had to hope that he had done all that he couldve. Raazel would die, this place was not going to let him run free, even though the yeti in a stolen body turned and fled through the forest.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Its ti, Erdania, Selia said slowly as she looked at their partner, the third part of their world.
Ti for what? What happened to you two, what is this? She asked. So many questions, the lack of understanding, but they could fix that with ease.
Both he and Selia reached to their Souls, that were at the mont perated with the Essence of True Death. Selia raised her scythe and Ryun his claws, as they had done once, long ago when they had split themselves in half, they touched their Souls.
It was, in many ways similar to what they had learned to do with their Souls when making their spiritual tools, taking a piece of it and infusing it into an object.
They took a piece from each of them, a small piece, and offered it to their third. It was ti for them to be together fully.
Erdania was confused, and she had to admit, a part of her was scared. Her questions werent being answered, and she didnt quite know what was happening with Selia and Ryun.
They had changed into what she recognized from Ryuns stories. The beings that had given him the essence of who they were. The mantle that both he and Selia had assud. Reaper and Scythe, the Aspects of True Death.
She was afraid that they had lost themselves in whatever this was. But Selias words had alleviated so of her worries. Ryun on the other hand Even without being able to sense him the sa way that Selia could, she could tell that he struggled. That he was filled with anger. She had seen him in the form of a wolf before, though this one was slightly different, more real, not made out of Oblivion at least.
Still, she could see it in the way he was standing, how his eyes moved behind the white mask on his head. She cast a glance at Eratemus, or his body at least. She was pretty sure that the yeti had taken over his body. They had to deal with him, and quickly. So, when Selia told her that it was ti, her confusion only grew.
And then they did sothing. Threads, white and black, rose from them and reached to touch her. Imdiately she knew what the threads were, she knew them intimately. They were them, pieces of them, and she knew what they wanted to do.
For a mont she almost spoke out, told them that this wasnt the ti, that they had more important things to worry about. But inside, she was overjoyed. She accepted their gift with no questions.

One mont she was alone in her mind, and then they were three.
Selia smiled as she felt Erdania inside of her mind. As she felt her love and knew that she felt hers and Ryuns too. They had split a small piece of each of them, not enough to be a full third, no. They understood that to give her more would have to co with the mories, with the weight of their past. And that was not sothing they wanted to burden their love with.
No, instead they took enough that they would be connected, they gave her a piece of what allowed them to sense the coming of True Death, so that she may know their purpose. Not enough to change her Soul and turn her into sothing like them. No, she was her own person, she didnt need the weight of the past. She was a new piece of True Death, being born in this ti.
This is Erdanias voice filled both Selias and Ryuns minds for the first ti. Oh, you do love .
It was nearly enough to break Selias heart, to hear her say that, as if she still had any doubt. But Selia knew how she had grown up, what had been done to her as a child. Selia understood.
She felt that there was a lot that they wanted to say to one another, to make known and experience, but there was no ti. All three of them could feel sothing pressing on the edges of this domain, the manifestation of their Aspect in the Real world.
All three turned to look at the darkness in the forest, seeing through as if it wasnt even there. Seeing him, Raazel, the one who had taken Tali, had caused Ryuns great anger. Who had stolen a body of a friend and killed him forever. All three of them felt everything through their link, though Ryun and Selia took the brunt of it, they didnt want to overwhelm Erdania. Still, his anger pulsed through their link, she had never felt him as angry as he was now.
Notifications were blazing in the corner of her eye, and she pushed them away, hiding them. Raazel was not an opponent to take lightly, even a mont of inaction could an death.
They had assud the full mantle of True Death, expanded it, but that did not make them more powerful. Their bodies were as powerful as their attributes made them, most of their power was suppressed, only what was tied to True Death was available to them. In this place, they enjoyed more power, true. But they lacked so much.
It would have to be enough.
