Paragon of Death

Life from birth has been nothing but hell. I lost my parents to some stupid aristocrats whom they offended. Executed for no good reason. My relatives abandoned me and pushed me aside. They feared for their lives and left me and my sister to starve and wander the streets alone! No, this is worse than hell! I watched my sister die of starvation. Her lips were dry and her feet bloody. Her nails were broken and her fingers riddled with cuts. She struggled in my hands and after a few seconds of struggle she passed away. She seemed joyful in death so I prayed mine will come just as swift and merciful as hers. So I stayed in the alleyway, alone with her rotten corpse awaiting my fate for God knows how long. I could see it already. The darkness encroaching from all sides Everyone said death is scary but I say it's the end! Who needs life after death? What is the need for reincarnation? Who would want to return to this crazy world? "It's not yet time for you to go... You have one more task to accomplish as my host" A voice called out to me. I could barely see or speak but how can I miss such a beautiful face? It was an extremely handsome man who gazed at me with tender eyes. "Haven't I suffered enough? Can't I just rest?" I cried out. Why would I want to stay back in such a cruel world? "Don't you want to avenge the death of your parents? Don't you want to become something greater? I can make that happen!" The beautiful man said with an alluring voice. "You... Who are you?" I asked with an anxious heart. My parents always said God is the only one who cares about me! Maybe in my final hours, he has come to save me. "Call me Death..."

Consequences

Amidst the bizarre exchange of energies, Damon's focus was singular, fixated on the act of siphoning Lana's Yang power from her, making him unaware of the impending danger arriving from the side

Bang!

His concentration was disrupted as Lucas who lunged at him from the side. The force of Lucas's strike hit Damon squarely, sending him hurtling through the air with a violent impact.

Lana, released from Damon's grasp due to the unexpected blow, was caught by Lucas's strong and protective hands.

"Lana!" Lucas cried out as he swiftly retreated, putting distance between them and Damon's menacing aura. Lana's body trembled, her breath coming in ragged gasps as the aftermath of the energy exchange left her reeling. She clung to Lucas, grateful for his timely intervention that had pulled her back from the brink.

"We need to leave now. He is a monster. If we don't, we may all die" Lana struggled to speak. The weakness in her voice apparent.
