Kideme’s suggestion was baffling; the young boy stared at her in a sort of horror mixed with admiration. She was mentally strong enough that she would willingly sacrifice herself just so that her lover could be sent to the pure lands. “Kideme …” Michirama took in the situation. What was happening? Why were they here? If his heart could pound it would burst from his chest, was this how feeble man was? They were so powerless against the force of a god, powerless as they witnessed the judging of a soul.

Seven spiritual beings appeared from a portal behind the Gavel, the judges of the spirit realm. The four could only watch, scratch that, when Deucalion tried to resist Death’s restraints he was stripped away until he was nothing but ears. They were nothing, they were but worms before this god. Michirama watched intently as the judging began. As Michirama was forced to bear witness he felt what seemed like grip on his shoulder, while he could not turn his body he could move his eyes to look around but saw nothing. The grip had been so faint that for a moment that it had seemed like a hair falling on his shoulder, but there was something there, he knew it.

“T̤̫̞̫h̢e̝̩͉̘͉ ̼̠͖͙͡u̝͓͇̤̥͢n̺̰̠͈̮̲͟ͅk̬n̗͖̘̜͔oẃ̻̺͈̤̙n̬͎̖”

A voice called out, it warped and distorted, something to be expected from the spirit realm, but what was it? The group was between life and death, it should've only been proper that something started to emerge from the primeval essence deep within the fated Michirama.

“"̧Keep̢ ͜y͟o͝u̡r v̢i̶ģi̷l͜a̴n̸ce, ̴b͘ut wa̧tc͞h ͠th̸es̕e͘ ͜įnf͡eri̧o̕r ͏beingś.͟ T͠h̕èi͜r aļt̶ru͢is͏m ̡in̕ t͝h̢e ͜face̶ o̷f ̷thes͘e̷... ̢ot̨he͜r͝w̴ơrld̴ly be̶ing̷s, ̕h̡o̸w͏ pi͏tif͘ul͡.̀ Yo̷u̵ d̡o not ̶m͡ake̕ ̨a ͡p͢l͢ea͏ w͞i͝t͡h ̧a͠ Go͠d͝.͞ ̸Le͟a͢rn͟ ̕f͡r͞o͜ḿ t̵h̴i͞s, yo̕u̢ mùst̡ u͟nder̛s͘t̡a͝nd̀.̵"̛

The voice echoed in his mind, battering of the very walls of his being. He gazed over at those around him. Tiatsu had been deemed guilty, damned to eternal hellfire for the sins of his life time. But as per her agreement, Kideme was given the choice to trade herself for Tiatsu’s right to the pure lands. And what could they do? Nothing. At the hands of gods, they were helpless, they could do nothing as Kideme was condemned to death. His heart would beat faster than before. His mind was spinning, was this fear or admiration? This is what a god was capable of?

“Th͞i̸s i͝s͡ ̛wha͜t we a͟r̕e.͝”

And before long that voice was gone. Leaving Michirama, once again, with a maddening sense of emptiness and helplessness. Who was we? “K…Kideme … Are you sure? You won't come back from this!” His purple eyes were shaking as his madness crept in. He didn’t want Kideme to die, not because he had feelings for her, but because it would seal the fact that they had no power here, and that … that was truly terrifying.

For a twelve year old to be wisped away into the spirit realm, put face to face with everything and nothing, driven through a silence so silent it left the soul screaming and then to be faced with the actual God of Death, forced to decide the fate of someone he barely knew but watch someone who was still alive throw themselves away just so that soul could rest easy, it was truly maddening, how could he comprehend the events around him, sanity was becoming scary and the way to escape it was through the door of madness, to the voice that told him to understand what was happening.
