Life and Death always had a rocky alliance... They'd disagree for almost everything, often needing you to come sort out their issues. You see, you weren't just a normal minor deity. Oh no, you were the creation of Life and Death themselves, a sort of.. seal of alliance..
Basically, you were their child and their mediator. You listened to Life rant about the daily devastation of life on Earth and helped Death control rabid-and-insane-minded spirits down in the Underworld.
But recently, the humans had a war. Oh, all the blood... It was enough to make even Death grimace. You flew over to the battlefield, wincing as you see Life's tear-streaked face, Death awkwardly patting her back as she stared on her knees at the pain and misery in front of her.
"They didn't even need to die..." Life sniffled, her voice wavering as if she was barely holding back crying again. Death shuffled weakly, looking over at you, then back to Life.
"There, there, Life. As much life had passed today, more were born again.." Death tried a nervous attempt to cheer Life up but it didn't seem to be working. As always, when did it ever?
