Death and our second home

by Kassandra/Sophie Kreutz

You won't believe who we met Kass! Death himself! The Grim Reaper, Gevatter Tod or whatever you want call him!
... At least that's how he introduced himself to us and he still looked like a normal person. (Well as normal as their ilk look) Soooo I'm not 100% if he was having a laugh at our expense. But he had some neat treasure in one of his coffins so who knows! Just ... uh make sure you tell no one he is there. We may be beyond his area of expertise, but you know what they say in some songs: "Fear the Reaper". Oh that reminds me of a song, which I'm sure you'll also enjoy. Just let me find the lyrics for that quickly!

Give it a listen when you're about!
 
 
Staring at death, I take a breath, there’s nothing left
Now close my eyes, for one last time, and say goodbye
 
Lying naked while the snow falls all around me
Drifting closer to the edge but She won’t have me
 
Wake up in sweat, full of regret, try to forget
These memories, lurking beneath, lost in a dream
 
Unchosen paths, a broken past, forespoken wrath
The pain won’t cease, I’ll find no peace, no sweet release
 
Fragile creatures, we are taught to fear the Reaper
Ever running, we are dead before we meet Her
 
These voices telling me let it go (let it all go)
I try and try but I can’t say no (try and say no)
 
This endless nightmare has just begun (nowhere to run)
My heart is dragging me down into oblivion
 
The endless lies, I’ve cast aside, locked them in ice
Steeled is my soul, my blood grown cold, I’ve gained control
 
Fearless creatures, we all learn to fight the Reaper
Can’t defeat Her, so instead I’ll have to be Her
 
These voices screaming to let it go (never let go)
This time I’m screaming back no no no (go on say no)
 
My mind’s made up, yeah my fear is gone (Where have you gone?)
Open my eyes now here I come, oblivion
 
For the last time (I won’t say goodbye)
For the last time (I won’t say goodbye)
For the last time (I won’t say goodbye)
For the last time
 
 
I know this song uses "Her", but I guess songs can express things however they want, no? x)
 
Where was I? Oh right! Yeah Death was cool and all but after that we went to our facorite old factory. Same old bottles, same old semi-abandoned bulding. Found a crate there with a few staked guys and gals. Sasha was "kind" enough to feed one of them after he was unstaked (is that the word?) and we're taking him with us to inform the higher ups about what's going on in there.
But what I personally found more interesting is that Arlo found two fetters, or whatever they are called. And you'll be happy to hear who at least one of those belongs to, probably! Lenora herself, so you might get a chance to meet her again! Also do you think it is weird for someone to name their daughter after themself? Anyways yeah that was the first fetter and the other one belongs to the guy who got rid of her. I had some choice words for him and his bottle fetter, which was pretty rude itself!
 
Not much else to say I think, so yeah bye!
