Union of 2 Powers

The battle between heaven and hell had just had a new development. My name is Drake, commonly known as the Grim Reaper. I was the most sought after mercenary for both sides. My moral meant nothing, I work for a price and usually hell pays better. My work has no monetary value, I could create money in a snap, no, I asked for something even more precious. Souls. Even I needed to feed. Ever since the war had spilled out on to earth, hell had been receiving countless souls. You see god had set up a new decree, such that every person who dies, they are already marked, to either go to heaven or hell, which is why I became a mercenary in the first place, god had taken away my job. About being marked, it doesn’t matter if you were a saint on earth, if you weren’t marked for heaven you wouldn’t go. Expecting such, the amount of souls that heaven got couldn't compare to hells numbers. Since hell is covered with more souls that Satan knows what to do with, he agreed to pay me with souls to help his cause. I took the job without a second thought.

Taking the forward outpost was a walk in the park. I did it on my own. I put on my robe, raised the hood, grabbed my scythe and then assimilated into the shadows. When I don’t want to be detected, no one can find me, not god, not Satan, no one. The angels standing guard were greenhorns, they had no idea what happened when I clipped their wings and consumed their souls. One perk of working with hell, Angel souls taste delicious. I revealed myself, and walked through the door, I remember every single person I took from earth. I recognized every single angel in there. Pulling out my scythe I asked them,

“Do you fear Death?”

I cleared the first floor, angel corpses were everywhere, their souls didn’t give me much nourishment, then I saw him, the commander, smiling to myself

“Hello, Michael.” I said to him

“Drake”

Michael stared back at me with his fiery sword drawn.

“Michael, please, I don’t want to kill you, although I'm sure your soul will be delicious, just surrender”

“Never!”

He charged, I pulled my scythe from under my robe and waited for him. His blade came down with fire and brimstone, I saw him blink, big mistake, I slashed with my scythe, his blade broke, his face was in shock, before it fell off his shoulders.

“Foolish angel”

I sighed, before I felt a sudden burst of power. It was strange, it wasn’t Demonic, Angelic, or human for that matter. I walked my way to the dungeon, and there, I saw her.

The most beautiful creature I have ever seen. She looked human, but her aura, such a powerful aura. It felt like…No! It cant be! Its her, the spawn of Satan and God. Before their union was made unholy. The spawn of Heaven and Hell, and she was stuck in this pathetic prison.

“What have these stupid angels done to you! How dare they disrespect a goddess like yourself”

I pulled the door of the wall and freed her, she was unconscious, I had to get her somewhere safe, before either her mother or her father will know of her existence. Earth was my destination, I had a stronghold there. She would be safe.

“She is the key to end all” I told myself “Armageddon was curled up in my arms”

When I was walking around in hell I heard that this child was being sought after, songs were sung in heaven about the finding of this child. And now she lay asleep in my arms. Those stupid angels, they had no idea what was under their noses. With her power, either side can destroy me and claim whatever and whoever they want, I could not allow that to happen, for my sake and the sake of humanity.

As I ran across the Barren Plains of heaven, I had sent word that the outpost was taken, and I was called away on urgent business. For the first time I looked at her properly. She was beautiful, soft silky auburn hair, she had the face of an angel, her body was bruised, those angel tortured her, the poor thing, I needed to get her clothed, the cold wind will not help her condition.

When we arrived at my secret stronghold, my butler was there to meet us. He was a soul who pledged his eternal loyalty to me. He was helpful and very useful. He already had the mansion prepped. He had drawn a bath, made up a room and prepared food and clothes.

“Welcome home Master Drake.”

“Thank you Max. is everything ready?”

“Just as you requested sir” he then saw her “my my isn’t she a rare flower”

I could only smile, Max was very direct, I didn’t mind, in fact I admired that about him

“Max id you to wash her up, tend to her injuries and let her sleep for a while, shes been through hell.”

“Yes Master”

I put her in his arms, beautiful, I heard him mumble. I smiled again and when to my room and lay down. Its almost been a century since I had last slept, the war was getting difficult and Satan called on me very often, so rest was never possible. I closed my eyes and slowly lulled into deep sleep.

I woke up.

“Master, shes awake”

“How long have I been asleep?”

“3 Days sir”

‘Not enough’, “well lets go see our guest.”

Max had put her in the last room of the mansion. The most beautiful one. My mansion was massive, the walk was long, but gave me sometime to think about what I was going to say to her. we arrived at the room. I asked Max to leave us, and he went on to do his normal duties. I finally opened the door, I had forgotten how amazing this room was. I looked for her, she was seated by the window overlooking my estate and her body was bathed in moonlight, she seemed to glow.
“good evening miss, I hope you are well.”
She turned to face me,

“As I well as I can be, who are you? I feel a strong aura around you”

She was direct and to the point.

“Forgive me, my name is Drake, to the common world i'm known as Death.”,

“Ah so you are him, I figured you to be more unpleasant”,

“Yes I do tend to go against the stereotypes”

“I wanted to thank you profusely for saving me, I slowly losing my will to live”

“How long have you been captive to those angels”

“Probably a millennia, my body was starting to whither away, but now, now I feel stronger than I ever have”

“Good, I wanted to let you know that both sides want you, your mother and your father need you for the war against heaven and hell, If one of them gets you, then existence, yours, mine, humanities ends. I have brought you here for that purpose. To hide you from them”

She looked at me blankly,

“My mother and father?”

She didn’t know

“You mean you have no idea who you are?”

She shook her head

“My dear girl…you are the daughter of pure evil and pure good, you are the perfect being.”

She continued to look at me blankly.

“Do you even know why you are being tortured by angels?”

She shook her head.

“Miss, you are the daughter of Satan and God.”

Her reaction isn't what I expected, no denial, no questions. She just stared at the floor,

“I've always thought that there was something odd about me”

I sat her down and told her everything. About the war, about her parents, her purpose, what she was. It was a lot to digest, I just told her everything, from the creation of existence to present day, and especially from an unbiased source. When I was done all she said was,

“Wow”

I could only nod, it was a lot to take in.

“Speaking of which, what is your name?”

“I've never had one, never needed one, but if you have a name you'd like to give me, id be grateful”

I smiled at her.

“Vanessa...i shall call you Vanessa, because its a name that portrays beauty”

she actually blushed, she was so adorable, I just wanted to hug her and kiss her. no...death has no love, just an entity of pure darkness.

“Forgive my forwardness.”

“I like Vanessa, thank you Drake”

that was the first time she used my name, and it rolled of her tongue so well, I took a deep breath.

“If you will excuse me Vanessa, I have some work that I must attend to, and please do not leave the grounds without me or Max, however this mansion is your home for now, make yourself comfortable, the library is down the hall, the rec room is opposite it.”

I got up took one last look at her, and I left the room.


My thoughts were all about her, she was absolutely beautiful, I could concentrate, finally dropping the log, took a walk. I headed for the library, upon entering I almost fell over a pile of books. I looked around in awe, she had read every single book that I had, and thats every single book ever written. She truly was her mother's daughter. She had missed almost two millennia worth of history, I guess this was her catching up. I walked through the entire library, but I couldn't find her anywhere. Exiting the library I heard explosions. I moved to the rec room. I could see that she was using my virtual simulator. I had commissioned a human to create it for me. It was a way to pass time, waiting for the next person to die so I could send that soul to hell or heaven. I didn't want to disturb her, because she seemed pretty engrossed in it. And then it hit me, like a ton of bricks...I was exhausted. I haven't slept in 200 years. Now seemed like a good time to take a rest. I found Max and told him that I was going to sleep. Going to my room, I took off everything except my pants. I crawled into bed, pulled the quilt up and slowly drifted into a peaceful slumber. However dream after dream, was full of her, she was absolutely gorgeous, she was a goddess, why does her face haunt me so? I felt weight on me, I slowly opened my eyes, only to stare into a pair of beautiful chestnut eyes staring back at me, with a cute smile to match.


“Vanessa...”

She placed a finger on my lips.

“Be quiet Drake, I'm going fulfill your fantasy.”

Before she could even start I moved quickly out of the bed.

“Vanessa, No! I will not allow you to do this”

“Drake...”

“Damn it woman, if you fornicate with me, one you will probably lose your immortality, your powers and even your life. Death knows not love, if you fornicate with me, I will plague your body.”

She sat there stunned. I turned to walk away, when I felt a set of arms wrap around my waist.

“Vanessa....”

“Shut up Drake, just shut up”

I did as I was told.

“You might be Death, but you saved me form eternal torment. You forget that I am the spawn of evil and good, you will have no effect on me. And I must say...I've quite taken to you... your rippling muscles, your musky scent, your scarred body,”

Her hands roamed my back, tracing my scars with her fingers.

“Your godly powers, every time you step into the room, my heart skips a beat. How you have plagued my dreams ever since we met. Your warm embrace... your amazing”

She pressed herself against my back. I was in shock, she said things about me, that I have never heard, yet this beautiful creature, has just thrown herself at me. Her breasts were pressed up against back. God how I wanted her, but she was above me, she significantly more powerful than I was although she doesn't even know it yet. I turned around to face her, she looked up at me,

“I've watched you sleep, your muscular chest rising and falling with every breath. It took all my strength to not jump on you. Drake...I...I love you....”

For the first time since the beginning of time. A tear rolled down my cheek. I saw her smile and she buried her face in my chest, my arms moved up and gently embraced her.
