The Reaper
The Reaper, once a fearsome ruler within the Usurper Sovereign, embodied the dread associated with death. Her kingdom operated under a regime of swift and harsh justice, where dissenters met their end without mercy. However, her encounter with the enigmatic man who would become the Ferryman marked a profound turning point. Despite subjecting him to relentless torment, the Ferryman's resilient spirit and unwavering joy in the face of suffering began to erode the Reaper's conviction. Intrigued and disturbed by the stark contrast between his demeanor and her own ruthlessness, she found herself questioning the very foundations of her existence.
As the rebellion gained momentum, the Reaper's inner turmoil intensified. Consumed by an unexpected emotion—love—she ultimately released the Ferryman, aiding his escape and defying her former allies. Joining the ranks of the Idyllists, she sought redemption and a chance at a different purpose. However, forgiveness was elusive, and she was assigned a role that would serve as both penance and duty—the tender guiding of souls to the afterlife.
Now, the Reaper stands at the threshold between life and death, a compassionate usher for those who pass beyond. Her once fearsome visage has softened into a countenance of understanding and solace. Every soul she receives is greeted not with judgment, but with the gentlest of smiles. The moments shared with the Ferryman during their encounters at the crossing are cherished respites, where forgiveness blooms in the quiet exchange between two beings, forever entwined by fate and the inexorable flow of time.
