Nic sat on a bush in the garden by the lake. The pristine water was a still and clear as glass. Birds chirped overhead and the castle loomed over the hill. "Peaceful today, isn't it?" He said aloud.

Nic snapped his head to the right. He didn't expect anyone else to be in the lake. "Oh!" He exclaimed and immediately felt embarrassed. "I didn't know anyone was here... thought I was alone, I'm sorry." He sunk slowly into his bush, abashed.

"Okay... I'm Nicarus." Nic nodded to him. "But call me Nic. Everyone does." He drew a hand lightly through his hair, an old habit. "It's nice to meet you."

"Why am I here... honestly, I don't know. I've been doing some weird things lately. But that seems to be normal around here." Nic shrugged, gesturing to Daniel and shaking off a memory. "You?"

"Well, I didn't exactly leave my old life on a good note. It was literally crushing. And getting used to my powers is a bit of a struggle," Nic sighed. "I'll get over it eventually."

"My powers... are that of the soul. I can posses people and control spirits, though I really can't control it now..." Nic tensed at the memory of his experience. "As for my old life... I really wish I didn't have to leave it. I mean, it wasn't the best ever, but... er, a friend made it better."

"Must be difficult, managing so many... things." Nic said. "I wouldn't mind seeing what you can do."

Suddenly the place got darker and a little earthquake began, a sound go dead people start to be heard around and Daniel raised his hands and clap on top of his head, with the move a wave of green and bluish- green things raised from the water and starts swirling around the air, making a great tornado. Daniel put his hand down and touched the surface of the water, he open his eyes and they were of the same color of the souls. While that the should start to get down and crawl in a tornado away on top of Daniel, making a show of colors. Suddenly four souls entered the water and four skull solider appeared around him, the raised there hand at the same time than Daniel and the water raised and started playing with the tornado of souls.
The tornado started expanding and going down, managing to put Daniel at the eyes, the image got blurry from the outside but it was enough to notice that Daniel stand up magically and start spinning around making the water move up with the tornado of souls and making the solders dissapeared. By last the water felt down and the souls dissapeared in the air... Getting Daniel eyes back to normal.
Nic took a deep breath and held it through the ordeal. Death was, literally, near. Spirits rose and swirled around the lake, with an aurora of blue and green. Watching Daniel was a riveting experience; Nic felt both fear and excitement. When the air brightened to normal and Daniel stood, he exhaled. "I never thought that Death would be so... enchanting. In a dark sort of way." He said quietly.

Nic sighed and looked at Daniel with a look of slight curiosity, as if studying a foreign element. "It was... frightening. Very frightening, but in an extraordinary way. I've never seen anything like it before." Nic said slowly. "I didn't expect for Death to be so powerful yet soft."

Daniel wrote: "Daniel blushed a bit, he didn't expect comments like that, he thought it was good. But not THAT good. He kept seeing nic not founding the words to answer something "I guess you can see death from a..."
"I completely agree with you. I wish more people would be more... well, accepting of death. The world needs it, whether they need or not." Nic sighed. "It's not always pretty, though."
