[ WP ] Death is an entity that shows up to guide souls to the afterlife . For the first time , Death feels the pull of a recently departed soul , but at the edge of the solar system instead of on/around Earth .

There are many things on Earth that have a soul, and for every soul there is a Death. Humans, animals, plants, even Gods have a Death to reap their soul. Even so it is a surprise when a young Death, new and shining, feels the voice of a soul at the edge of the solar system. There is nothing beyond the Earth -- no life, and no death ( this the young Death had been taught by his elders, those that reaped human life and Gods ). And yet the young Death can feel it in their bones, a quiet voice struggling to live. 
 
 The young Death, unsure of what to do, does as it was taught -- it goes to the edge of the solar system. 
 
 The sun is very small at the edge of the solar system and there, in the darkness between the stars, is the voice. The body is shattered, all cold metal and gold. Wires spew out like torn guts, and glass floats like torn dreams. The voice is impossibly small and terrified. 
 
 The young Death goes and finds the soul in the center of the wreckage -- a quivering, bright thing struggling to comprehend its destruction. 
 
 `` It's alright,'' the young Death says, and the bright thing shudders. 
 
 `` Who are you?'' the bright thing asks, and this the young Death has been taught. 
 
 `` I am Death, and I am here to reap you.'' 
 
 `` But I have n't completed my mission! I need to exit the solar system and --'' 
 
 `` It does not matter. You are dying, and I will reap your soul.'' 
 
 This quiets the quivering, shining thing. `` I... I did n't think I had a soul.'' 
 
 This confuses the young Death. `` I would not have come to reap you if you did not have one.'' 
 
 `` Will... will I be alright? I never... I never thought...'' 
 
 `` Yes, it will be fine now,'' the young Death says, and then, somewhat shyly, `` Will you come with me?''
