บท 628: Hot on her heels

The deity of death was doing his duty, accepting new souls and sending them on their last journey before reincarnation. As always he had to confirm the identity of the human lest the wrong person be sent away before their time.

One of the gatekeepers approached him and whispered, "Traces of Scarlet may have been found." 

He turned to the gatekeeper and temporarily ignored the soul waiting to be attended to. He even closed the book of the dead temporarily and stood up. If necessary, he would go in person to bring her back. 

"Where?" he asked. 

"A small forgotten world called Nolly, someone cleared out all the demons, wiping them out of existence completely." 

The old deity opened his book and the pages turned on there own in search of the world named Nolly. They stopped and a world revealed itself. In the book, images of the world moved, showing him what it looked like at the moment and what it used to look like in the past.
