Zephyr

The weather was bland and dark as the moon stood out alone with a few stars that hid behind the clouds, making them almost invisible. The forest was cold, the only place that hadn't been part of the war. The forest was eerily quiet and the sky looked hallow. The breeze that passed through the forest rustled the leaves, creating series of whispers in the wind. Latitia stood there, staring into space while waiting for the moon goddess. She looked up at the vast and tall trees which looked strange. This place was no ordinary place, this was the land of the dead, a place she was summoned to. She noticed how there was a greenish fog that surrounded the forest and the river was murky to look at. She took a step backwards when she saw the surface of the water move nearer. Her red eyes staring into it and out of nowhere a ghost-like creature appeared to float up and then disappear. "I didn't know guardian angels came here. How rare" Came a whispered voice from afar and Latitia turned to see who had spoken. And then she saw the light amid the fog, that appeared closer and closer until she finally caught sight of a lean looking old boat. Two torches were placed at the front. In the boat stood a creature who had a hood over the head and long tattered robes, holding a long staff to row the boat. It was Wrath, one of the 9 sins of hell. Danvon. Latitia stared at the sin whose robes had a greenish tinge on it. Similar to the atmosphere she stood in. "Are you Danvon?" asked Latitia to make sure it was a sin and she didn't guess wrong. "I am" Whispered the creature "Do you have the coins?". "Coins?" asked Latitia, who was confused as to why he was asking coins from her before she said "No, I have to meet the moon goddess, I am not here to pass through the gates, I am not dead yet". She remembered the stories of how Danvon took coins from souls before dumping them on Rower, who also asked for coins in order to pass through the gates. Danvon stared at her. His eyes, nothing but darkness in the hollow skull that belonged to a sin. "The moon goddess. In the land of the dead" Whispered the sin. Just then the forest shone brightly as the moon goddess made way to the river. "Sabbi" said Danvon "How rare, How rare". "Yes Danvon, the fourth sin. I see you have met Latitia here". "You should not be here" replied Danvon "I seek assistance from the fourth sin, Wrath and the last guardian angel". Explained the moon goddess looking at Latitia. The moon goddess could not be defiled and Latitia was aware of that. "In what way?". She asked The goddess then said "The stars and the gifted would be born. The gifted would be scattered but you have been assigned to take care of all the stars". "The stars will live in the land of the dead?". Sabbi's eyes moved to look at the sin "You will live in the land of the living with the last guardian angel, you shall guard them and take care of them when they finally arrive". She said but the sin just smirked "I can't leave the land of the dead. Neither can I spend time with an irony of myself. Why am I being chosen?" Asked the sin "It is complicated". Answered Sabbi. "Moon goddess, I know I have a duty towards the world, but you are also aware that I hurt anyone that touches me because I am dead" "You will not harm your children".
