Chapter 3: Promise

Why are you standing there, O death? Sit beside me, I will prepare the best chair for you stitched with the best cloth from the best materials.

Why are you standing there, O death? Come near, I will prepare the best food for you from the best fruits and meats.

Why are you standing there, O death? You are too far away, I cannot hear clearly what you are saying, come closer, do not be so to me.

Forgive me my friend, O death. I wanted to break the agreement between us, forgive me my friend, O death. 

Long ago we exchanged promises, I gave you many lives and you would give me immortality. However, I regret it. Day, night my body continues to feel pain. My age is immortal, but not my body. I am rotting O death. I am rotting, but I am still alive.

I regret it! I regret! I regret! Kill me with your scythe, kill me that I may taste death, I would rather die than be immortal. Forgive me my friend, O death.

My children left me in this room alone, they took over the areas I conquered, then they attacked each other to expand their power. O death, this is not what I want! This is not what I want! It is not...

"This is our covenant, O my friend, the only one who dared to exchange vows with me. From then on we became friends, but a promise is a promise. That is the reason I remain. A promise must be kept."

After saying that, he disappeared from my sight.
