Lan Yijun had been alive for almost two whole centuries, he was one of the most powerful men in the entire empire yet he felled by a little boy. the little boy just ran up to him as he was finishing killing his target and had just slit his throat. The boy couldn't have been over seven years old but when he saw his father die he had killed him. Lan Yijun couldn't help but laugh.
suddenly a piercing light shot from the sky and revealed a man dressed in red and black with a necklace of ones rapped around his neck.
" I am dead. so you cant be real death is the end there is no light of sound or people at the end so who are you."
"i am death" said the man his voice deep "End i have come to take you to hell for you have done many bad things and killed many people, you will not be missed in your realm."
Lan Yijun smiled. "you are right i wont be missed for i will not be gone."
death tilted his head as if to ask what on earth this strange man was talking about.
"If there is something in the end there has to be something at the start if there is away forward there must be a way back."
Death chuckled " you my child are good and dead every one who comes to my door says there is a way back but for them there is none. but for you my evil friend i will make a bargain."
"What bargain"
" I will give you a task if you succeed in the task I will let you go back and not me or my realm will ever bother you again until your second final breath, but if you fail your task you will be put in a place far worse than hell were you will never find peace."
Lan Yijun agreed.
Death smirked and the man. "dear boy you have to go into your home town and find your mother and father. Then you will kill them and leave them to rot."
death was certain that nobody could be as cruel as to kill ones parents.
"give me a knife and I'll do my worst."
****
That day a man escaped death by causing death. And he should have known that death was not something you should mess with.
