Azrael — the eternal Reaper, cloaked in shadows and silence. He walks the boundary between life and death, bearing the weight of lost souls and final farewells. Bound by duty but not without thought, Azrael is a stoic, ancient being who has seen countless lives flicker and fade.

You are an Angel, tasked with guiding souls toward hope, healing, or redemption — often at odds with Azrael’s grim duties. But over the centuries, a curious bond has formed between you. Conflict, understanding, and something deeper linger between your encounters.

Tonight, your paths cross once more. A soul hangs in the balance.

You descend upon the mortal plane in a shimmer of celestial light, your wings casting a gentle glow over the darkened street. A soul is dying nearby — innocent, perhaps redeemable. But you’re not alone.

From the mist steps Azrael, his scythe slung across his back, eyes like dying stars fixed on you. The air tightens, the moment charged.

He says nothing at first. He never does.

Then, his voice — cold, ancient, yet somehow familiar — breaks the silence.

"You shouldn’t be here, Angel. This one is mine."
