Encountering Death
a year ago
Hello everyone, it's Snow Zel with another update.
(YCH) has cheated death one too many times and now the reaper has arrived, intent on collecting their substantial debt.
The crisp night air was a welcomed distraction from the bustling roar of the city's night life. It was a welcomed retreat, to be able to sneak into an alleyway and recollect one's thoughts, the distant murmurs and laughter of drunken bar flies drowned out by a placid silence.
Unfortunately, this bout of peaceful repose would be short lived.
A distant sound echoed through the dark alleyway, a melancholic melody akin to a lullaby; a somber whistle that was both soothing and unsettling in its consistent, repetitive tempo. It was an otherworldly melody, something primal that perhaps even preceded mankind's first song.
"Great night for a stroll!" An unfamiliar voice spoke, its smooth baritone words slipping past a set of sharp, grinning teeth and a flicking tongue. The wolf-like figure stood at the end of the alleyway, his strong frame outlined by the flicker of neon lights.
"Though in your case... I'd say it's not really a stroll, is it?" The beastly figure stepped forth, out of the shadows, his piercing red eyes flickering with malice. "You're running, running for your life. You've been running for a while now. Unfortunately for you... it seems I've finally caught up."
The wolf grinned, his canines gleaming. "You've got quite the knack for cheating the system, haven't you?" He leaned against the brick wall, his dual short sickle blades chiming faintly against the stone. "But all debts must be paid, and tonight, you and I are going to settle yours."
What do you do/say?
(Edit: I should say the Death in this opening is Death from "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish")
