Aarav ran away. 

Who could really blame him, though? The list of things Aarav that didn't excel at was long and humiliating, borderline pathetic even. A list that included fighting too. So when he encounters a group of monk-looking assailants in black with books floating next to them, ganging up on a little harmless kid…he wasn't exactly sure how to deal with that situation. More so, when that strange encounter snowballs into him being attacked by a giant tentacled monster; he did the only thing he excelled at—he ran away.

Being able to see the dead since his birth was strange enough for him but being chased by a monster was taking things a bit too far. But now thrust into the strange world of dead souls, demons and grim reapers; Aarav has to make a choice. Does he continue to live in the ignorance of the blurred lines of two worlds, or will he muster up the courage to do what is right? To save the people close to him, no matter the lengths he has to go to achieve that goal.

Even if it required his own death.

Grimoire: Atonement of Souls

Stepping through the hospital door, the first thing I saw was Irina on the bed with her right arm elevated and in a cast. 


She was awake and was looking straight at me, startled by the noise I made by rushing through the door. “What happened?! Are you okay?! What sort of accident was it?! Is it too serious?!” I asked quickly. 


To be honest, I wasn’t even sure what I was asking about. All I saw was a dear friend of mine on a hospital bed with a possibly broken arm. 


“Y-Yes, I’m good…” Irina said, her good hand resting on her rapidly beating heart. “You scared me! Can’t you just walk normally?” 


“I...I came as fast as I could. Idris said—where is Idris?” I looked around the room but except Naina no one was there in the room. 


“God, Aarav, can you just calm down and sit? Idris is outside, calling her father.” Naina pointed at the empty stool beside her. “I’m getting all anxious just looking at you. Just sit here.”
